For those of you(I'm guessing 99.9%) that didn't watch the CTS race today,all I've got to say is, you missed a good'un. :D

 

One big melee(SP?) of a crash 4-5 laps from the finish took out 5-7 trucks and brought out a red flag, which set up a "Green-White-checker" finish. Robert Pressley won the race in the #18 "Dodge Dealers" Dodge.

I saw it!

What a great race! A little crashin', a lot of passin', and a good amount of rubbin'.

That's what I want to see WC drivers do, but they're too scared. The CTS was posting race speeds about the same as WC drivers and they were jukin' and dukin' the whole race.

I had to ditch my office and go to the Command Duty Office to watch. After about 30 minutes, a few more guys found out what I was doing and joined me. Then a few more. My C.O. popped his head in to get an update about lap 50. It was pretty cool that all my bosses (officers) were checking the race, not the fact that I was blowing off work(although all my work was done).

All in all, a great race, and like 2000, most likely the best race at Daytona all week.

Yep, good race.  Did yall see the guy in the #8 Dodge save it twice in turns 1-2 shortly before the big wreck at the end?  He was in the middle of a 3 wide run and the back end kicked out, he corrected, it kicked out again, he saved it again.  Pretty good driving because that thing was on the verge of being completely turned around.

I watched the whole thing.  That is the kind of racing the Winston Cup and Busch cars need to have at Daytona and Talladega.  I don't care what it takes, but NASCAR needs to come up with a solution to make the other series as competitive as the trucks are at the big tracks.  By Sunday I will have had my share of follow the leader racing....

 

btw, it was kind of nice to see Robert Pressely win one.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
