No reason to leave it in all the time. And it doesn't affect the fob while you're driving the car.

That is true. I drive the car so little, I wasnt even bothered to check for a dead battery in the fob for over a year. :icon17:

Actually, it did start affecting mine. My car would randomly tell me the key wasn't detected - while driving. Not that I couldn't keep driving, but still annoying.

What's the time table looking like for the snail?

Are you sure it was the EcuTek BT module causing the issue? But either way, yeah just an annoying light. Thankfully it doesn't shut off the car. That would be :rofl2:

Somewhat related, at my last job, we machined titanium beams for the S92 helicopter for Sikorsky. My brother Dave was one of the machinists, and he'd been deburring the titanium, and was covered with titanium dust. Struck a spark with the grinding wheel. Most people aren't aware that titanium dust is highly flammable. He was briefly engulfed with flames.

Dave has this thing for attracting fire. When we did construction together, he set the fringe of his jeans on fire with a roofing torch. While welding a beam over head, he dropped enough sparks to burn through his boxers and do the "help help my pants are on fire" dance. Yesterday, he sends me a text. "I just set myself on fire again. Cutting through rebar with a grinding wheel."

*shakes head* Amazing he's still alive.

Definitely was the BT module, or at least the problem has ceased happening since I removed the module. Battery was less than 3 months old.

morning boys :tiphat:

First week of Sept. when JC is here. I should have the lift installed by then and all the parts on hand.

:hello:

Whats up, man?

Son of a whore, he found our hideout! We'll have to go back to OG now...

That reminds me, I need to email Sasha again. I wanted to buy some injectors but he ever sent the invoice.

:hello:

:hello:

yea someone ratted out where all of you were hiding from me lol

We all would have brillo pad sized wads of titanium. great for camping and general fuckery at work.
There have been a few stories of machines getting torched because of chip buildup plus an ignition source.

Fun video. Inconel is the same material used for the cpu's armor in aircraft black boxes.
I woudnt want to be back on the floor, but miss playing with neat toys sometimes.

:tiphat:

Inconel is actually what our retorts are made out of. We're heating a high nickel iron alloy to around 2100 ± 50 degrees to align the grain structure for magnetic permeability. Inconel handles a good bit of heat before deforming, so it's been our material of choice for a long time now.

I hate machining it to any kind of tight tolerances. **** seemed gummy+super abrasive and would eat carbide insert faster than a fat kid with a bag of M&Ms.

sssup itcheZ.

When I was in the 5th grade, my sister and I had come home from school. She wanted to fry some chicken for dinner. She had the frying pan with oil heating up on the stove. She went to her room and forgot that she had the stove on.
I was in the living room and hear a WHHOOOSH. Ran to the kitchen and saw the frying pan on fire. Grabbed the frying pan handle, opened the sliding door to the backyard, and while going down the little step, the frying pan handle had melted off and the pan slid off the handle pouring the burning oil onto my my right thigh. Burned through my pants and had me out of school for two weeks. Still have scars from that.

I also dumped scalding water on me as a toddler, and stuck a fork through my cheek. But those are stories for another time..lol

:happydance:

Sweet merciful crap! That sounds awful!

:tiphat:

:usa:

Hold my coffee and watch this! :rofl2:

:stirthepot:

When I worked for Elliott TurboMachinery. I worked with a lot of inconels and monels. Hated machining inconel 625. Super gummy. Tear up bits really quick. Gas turbines and some compressors have parts made out of this stuff. We had a few lathe fires from Ti, and magnesium. Worked will a lot of exotic metals. How about preheating a work piece to 1,100F before you could weld on it. :eek:

Dropped friend at airport, having lunch at Chilis and then heading to clinic to work till 11p

Ian B

Got a pile of work dumped on me out of nowhere after days of doing nothing.

Lunch is so close and im so happy, then after work theres a work function with free food and alcohol so that'll be interesting.

2 days of sushi for lunch. I'm happy

oooooooooo just saw Pittsburgh top golf opens this friday. very excited for that :excited:

8415 more,,,That be What's up!

Mine are over 900 when I give them out. :tup:

WTH,,,mine are a weak 249/250

About 1/8th of 1%
:)

You guys have a lot of crabs. Dang, how many hoe's you got to do to get that many. LOL

It takes time. You're getting there. EW is over 1,000. :eek: I want to know what his will be when he gets to 1,000,000.

Almost 710,000.
