The players I hate most:

 

Horacio Ramirez

Jason Schmidt

Greg Maddux

I don't keep up with it enough to know three I like that much or hate that much.

 

But when I did keep up with it my favs were...

 

Barry Bonds (when he played for the Pirates)

Eric Davis

and

Mike Schmidt or Steve Carlton

 

As for the hated ones, I don't know.

 

 

So I guess I'd have to say Bonds is my fav now, just because he's the only one on that list still around.

 

I know I don't like Giambi or Jeter.

I'm not too big a fan of Sheffield anymore either, cause it seems like he went to the yankees only because he wanted a ring.

 

And Bonds stature doesn't allow him to make mind boggling plays like Andruw Jones very often. I don't really think it's fair that he gets walked everytime he goes to bat though, just cause he can hit. Ramirez and a few of the other pitchers must be pretty scared of him.

 

The Cubs and the Braves are rivals to each other in my eyes, but I believe that Kerry Wood is the up and coming Smoltz (I mean an excellent pitcher, not a Braves player), I may be wrong though

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
