RandyHolt Posted March 23, 2019 If anyone else besides me is interested in the Deer Park fire follow Stephanie below for the best coverage. Only coverage. Oh its burning again, a dike broke, the mayor said it takes 2-3 days to test the water which is black sludge, and a cloud of highly carcinogenic benzene gas got released. They lifted the shelter in place which I wonder if that was a good idea. Here's your water. https://twitter.com/StefaniaOnABC13/status/1108424407993733120 Here's your air. Now go to work.

losetoa6 Posted March 23, 2019 Observing my lawn this morning while I was picking up shingles from the past 2 wind storms ( mostly off my shed) there's not much green yet . It got down to freezing last night and tonight looks too also and with hard freezes modeled for mid week I'm thinking mowing will be delayed for a few more weeks anyway which I'm fine with.

LOL, I have already 'mowed', but that was mostly a mulching of the leaves one day last week. I'll probably do the same again today before I go in for 3-11. Anybody need some leaves? Mostly oak and cheery, with some maple and sycamore mixed in. I'll probably start on 'lawn repair' next week, need to get a load of top soil first to fill in some low spots. Right at freezing here this am, and like you, not much seen yet on the grass front. BIL is here (he is a contractor and doing a job up here) and said we were a solid 2/3 weeks behind his home, he lives near Smith Mt Lake in Bedford County. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nw baltimore wx Posted March 23, 2019 I lost 7 of the first 32 games. Not great, but I still have 15 of 16 possible for the sweet 16. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deer Whisperer Posted March 23, 2019 I went 20/32 with first round matchups. 5 Sweet 16 teams gone already. 2 elite 8. 2 final 4. And the runner up. My other bracket i made in which i clicked the randomize button needed like 3 edits to be a perfect bracket right now (it had 15 and 16 seeds winning in first round) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icefishingrocks Posted March 23, 2019 I went 20-12 in the first round, but I still have 7 of my Elite 8 teams and 12 sweet 16 teams left in the fight. I took a big gamble and went with Villanova repeating this year. Yes I have a 6 seed team beating Duke in the finals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No real big upsets, lot of blowouts, almost every comeback attempt I’ve seen has fell apart at the last second. A pretty good year to just pick the higher seeded team (except for the 8-9, 5-12 matchups) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
losetoa6 Posted March 24, 2019 Got my brand new Alky control kit for my 87' Buick GN . Man...I'm like a grownup freakin kid in a candy store lol. I've been running a 17 year old alcohol injection setup that helped propel my GN to 10.90 1/4 Mile times . But this kit is light years ahead of that one. Probably easy 10.50s potential . My trouble is I have way too many passions in life. ..Cars, weather, sports, beer , building stuff, Galaga, brunettes . If only I could concentrate on 1 or 2 . 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the few bright spots for GM in the 80's. Have a good friend from HS who worked for GM in their proving grounds. He had a GN. He also helped develop the first gen ABS control algorithm on the Vette. At the time was cutting edge technology. His GN was a beast. Had it for many years before selling it.

losetoa6 Posted March 24, 2019 12 minutes ago, wxdude64 said: How many ponies you pushing thru that 200R? Yes...I still run a 200r4 with hardened and billet internals though. The car has gone 10.92 @ 126 mph and weighs about 3,750 with me in it . Never dynod but rough calculations say well over 600 to achieve those results. It's also gone 100mph in the 1/8 Mile . A bigger turbo would most likely yield 130 mph trap speeds but light to light street use might suffer so I prefer faster spoiling turbos for the street. These cars stock weren't a horsepower machine . They were street kings because of incredible low end low rpm max torque #s even stock . Couple that with them being very detuned from the factory and few hundred $ and a recalibrated chip, k&n filter, fender dump, drag radials later your running low mid 12s . Back in the early mid 90s when I got mine there simply was nothing much that ran . Fastest cars out there were only running 14s and 15s mostly.. except for the ZR1 option on the Corvette which cost $70,000 and ran 12. 80s stock but it was $70K DOLLARS LOL. With just the above couple mods we wiped there asses at the track . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
