I can’t claim to be a hard core sports fan.  But, over the decades,  I have followed sports.  I used to host Monday Night Football at my apartment in the early 80s, for a group of friends and I always follow the World Series, but not necessarily much regular season. 

 

Im interested more in this series since I live in socal. From what I’ve seen there’s been some good baseball.  Although I’d like to see the Dodgers win, the Astros have been outplaying them.  Who knew they played baseball like that in Texas?

Being on the east coast, i get to watch about 3 innings before it's time for bed.  Forget trying to get my son to watch any of it.   MLB needs to wise up and move the start times to earlier to try and get kids interested in watching baseball.

I’m an early bird too, living in the Houston area I struggle to make it through a game. The DVR-TiVo recorder comes in handy.

Ditto bndawgs, especially with the extra inning games and all the pitching changes the games are on way to late. I heard Sunday's game was over 5 hours long. I don't know wth  MLB and the network is thinking unless they're trying to build their fan base in the Alaska and Hawaii time zones. I'm old and fondly remember the days when the World Series was played in the daytime.

I'm in central time and I can't stay awake til the end of games anymore. I remember excitedly staying up to 11 or 12 when I was a kid to see the end of WS games. Now I pretty much gave up on baseball, partly due to no games ending before 10 pm local time. Don't see it changing anytime soon.

I set it up to record on the DVR.  Missed game 1.  The DVR's set time to record ended in the 7th inning on Game 2!  So I added two more hours and missed the bottom of the 9th for Game 5!

 

Really enjoyed Games 4 and 5, brings back memories when I used to play as a boy.  The Mets' spring training camp is right down the road, might like to catch some games in the spring.

The pitching guns came out last night, a have a feeling it’s going to be another big stick game tonight. If’s that’s the case the astros will win. I haven’t really seen much holding from the relievers through out the year.

It was a great series and the best team won.  I rooted for the Dodgers, since I live here.  But it was clear, the Astros deserved the win.  But it was close.  That little 5'6" guy is dyslexic.  He thinks he's 6'5".  LOL.  What a great team.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
