I miss being able to get new music like that.. Some of those old bands are still making music, but it's not the same (or maybe it's too the same?).

Agreed. When I was in Texas, I saw a lot of the 80s bands that were making their re-reunion tours. I was surprised at the number of people that attended. There were even a lot of younger generations there. At work, most of the guys I work with either grew up in the 80s or really like the music of the 80s so it's always nice walking by the different offices and hearing all the 80s bands coming out of each one :lol:

Yeah, a few years back I went to a show like that... Poison, Warrant, Great White, Quiet Riot, and a few others... It was kind of cool, seeing all those guys play the music from "waaaay" back. I just wish it hadn't been part of the "outdoor summer concert series," in July.. in Texas..

I sure know that feeling. It's way too :lol: down there in San Antonio. Gald I'm in a cooler climate now. Daddy and Jeff must have had late nights because I have yet to see them in here. Figured they would come running as soon as word spread that :lol: posted something.

Your original "joke" post :

 

I forgot to add no this is not an April Fools joke..I wish it was Jeff...

Hrmmmmm....

 

Your current "joke" post :

 

And that was an April Fools joke. You know what a joke is you dumb shit? Heres the definition.

 

1. Something said or done to evoke laughter or amusement, especially an amusing story with a punch line.

2. A mischievous trick; a prank.

So... Basically, you're admitting to being a liar? You supposedly "made up" this big "joke" for April Fools and then said it wasn't a joke and then you get mad when people believe that it wasn't a joke, when you yourself said (let me scroll back up here... oh, yes!) "this is not an April Fools joke...I wish it was."

 

Quit wimpering, whining, pouting, and throwing tantrums. Man-up and admit you screwed up (and LIED about it either being or not being a joke) and maybe things can get back to more or less normal around here... OR, we could all just put you on ignore...? Whichever!

 

Take it easy!

 

 

PWNED!!!!

Hilarious. I have been building a garage in my spare time, and lately I got bored of some of the music in my ipod so I have been seeking out 80's metal stations, and dug out my Garage Days Revisited (appropriately enough). Man, some of that music is just timeless. Or, you can listen to a band like Fu Manchu that is just kind of stuck there...

 

What I tend to forget is that there is SO MUCH of it - you only ever get to hear the crap they recycle on the 80's stations, which was probably top40 for each year. Boy I miss that stuff sometimes - now that music has become mechanized/electronified even the metal sounds like techno-crap.

Oh yeah, good morning everyone.

 

Wonder if I'll have orange juice or apple juice this morning? :lol::lol::lol::)

Silly String? We don't need no stinkin' silly string.

 

This is what we need:

 

 

 

And good morning to you too, Jeff. Remind me never to piss you off.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.

      Gas Prices

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      By richard wysong · Posted

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.
