    Lighten the mood

    I follow Ozzy Man Reviews on FB. His voice-over videos always crack me up. Two of his recent ones that I particularly enjoyed were (a) the two horses scared by the rabbit and (b) sending the snake inside the house wall to get rid of all the mice.

    Shush, you! (For the record, the sole t-top vehicle I ever owned--an '01 Camaro SS 1LE 6-speed--never leaked a drop.)

    Life is better with t-tops. Always.

    Right now he has me on Indomethacin to get over this outbreak. After that, I'll just go back to life as usual unless another flare up hits me. My parents have no history of gout, so I'm hoping this was a one-off incident. I've had friends tell me tart cherry juice helps relieve symptoms, so I...

    What are you listening to?

    In general, I loathe live albums/recordings. Maybe the imperfections of a live performance bother me, I don't know. At any rate, I will steer clear of virtually every live recording and instead only purchase studio albums. A few weeks ago, YouTube suggested a video for me. Some dude out...

    Topic of Discussion What ONE 4x4 trail have you wanted to run, but never have or will be able to?

    I am so glad I was able to run this trail a few times back in the day. It was fun and scenic. And while I know I could still hike up there anytime I like, I doubt I ever will.

    For the curious, the podiatrist said my x-rays were the most boring ones possible... because they revealed nothing wrong. He wasn't expecting them to reveal anything; they were taken mainly as a precaution and to rule out any drastic possibilities. Not that that made the eventual diagnosis any...

    Hey Little Cobra, -or- my V8 Miata project

    I did go visit the car briefly yesterday. I had little time; my only real goal was to bring some fender washers for the inner sides of the frame rails and finish bolting the trans crossmember onto the car. After a few minutes of fiddling, the crossmember was properly torqued in place. We left...

    Hey Little Cobra, -or- my V8 Miata project

    Since Day One, my plan has been to make this vehicle emissions legal. On paper this is pretty easy, as the car's OEM smog sticker reigns supreme when determining which smog equipment must be on the donor engine--all I really need are multi-point EFI, single O2 sensor(s), and three-way...

    Hey Little Cobra, -or- my V8 Miata project

    I've made progress every week since my last post, but there was never any real reason to snap any new photos... so I haven't posted. Sorry for leaving you guys hanging. Yesterday was another day of progress. As we continued to fabricate the transmission crossmember over the last few weeks, it...

    Is it ok to have a "make light of" thread?

    Of course not.

    Is it ok to have a "make light of" thread?

    NO. I am all about the stock-bodied, sleeper look. If I ever stick a big wing like that on my Miata--or any car I own--I invite each and every one of you to kick me in the nuts.

    Ham is always my default choice, so long as most/all of the group is so equipped. I will usually suggest a 2m simplex frequency to accommodate the hams without dual band capability. 145.550 is common for me, as is 146.520 (though I usually only use that one to establish contact, then I suggest...

    Did my first one up in SLC somewhere (Taylorsville?), and did my 2nd and 3rd tests at BYU.

    Hey Little Cobra, -or- my V8 Miata project

    Yesterday was another day off work and thus another day to further the Miata project. Item #1: I mentioned in my post above that I had painted the rear corners of the engine bay, but then failed to take pictures of the result. The first thing I did when arriving at Mike's place yesterday was...
