Turtle head.

Bestiality reps. :tiphat:

We're alive. Hoping to be home tomorrow evening with power and water so fingers crossed. Checking in while we have power and internet at a friend's.

Good to hear. Hopefully they get your power straightened out pretty quick. We're having rolling blackouts up here.... :icon14:

South Arkansas is snowed in. My patio roof is starting to sag, a water main broke up the street last night, and my daughter just texted me saying her carport roof just caved in (nobody hurt and minimal damage to what was under the roof). A buddy and I put some plastic around my patio and I have a propane burner going - maybe it will melt enough snow to keep the roof from caving in.

I moved here from N IL to get away from this shiat!

I just joined the FI tt club :happydance:

Want to see some Leg???

About time. Wave goodbye to old aggravating SC stuff.

Welcome to the family!

I guess I need to put my turbos and injectors up for sale then.

It was actually a fun build process but frustrating at times

Thanks Bob. I don't know who's happier, me or Seb :rofl2:

Congrats :tiphat:

That is the great thing about Seb. He is always as happy as his customers are about their builds. I can't wait for you tell us about the differences of your two builds.

Mazworks getting another motor to do?

The first thing he said to me when I called him to let him know was "let me do the install" It should make about the same power and torque but on a lot lower boost. Of course the power and torque curve will be completely different. It should be fun.

Nope, I don't want to have knee problems :nutswinger:

Knee problems?????? I guess I missed the joke.

And tonight’s featured special (-0:26) “The Guns Of Fort Peticoat” :tup:

fify

The only way I could afford a mazworx build is if I were servicing people on my knees. I think I'll make due with the stock block :rofl2:

^^^this :rofl2:

By the way, I got kit #98

In that case, stock block for the win. :tup::tup:

See if JC, Elmo, or Spooler will loan you their knee pads.

Got a good deal on that kit! Nice score!

:wtf2:

Increasing energy efficiency is a win win since it also saves you $$. :tup:

Fusion is much more efficient than fission but hasn’t been scalable up beyond the lab yet, we really need to push that since the waste is so much vastly reduced. Iirc, South Korea is leading the world in nuclear fusion development which is bs, USA should be working way harder on this.

Longer term a hydrogen powered economy is the real sustainable solution that won’t handicap amount of power production but again, we need to figure out how to produce hydrogen on a large scale w/o still using fossil fuels.

Solar is definitely a great addition in certain areas and like hotrodz said, eventually in the south west and Florida, every roof should have it. We also need technological breakthroughs regarding solar panel efficiency as well.

Basically we just have engineering and tech barriers which I’m bullish our country can overcome within the next decade or two.

In the meantime, we have plenty of oil and especially natural gas to bridge the gap without resorting to a omg, the sky is falling mentality, looking at you lefties. :shakes head::shakes head:

stay warm boys and girls, its mucho frio in much of the country.

:iagree::icon17:

I just couldn't pass it up especially since my motor has to come out anyway. And the good thing is, my sc kit is already sold as soon as I pull it out of the car. I had guys that wanted to pick it up today and/or give me a deposit to hold it for them

You service the women dude. WTH!!!!

Don't hold your breath on fusion. It won't happened in our life time. Take too much energy to produce it. You put more in then what you get out. My reading on it. They say 2025, then turn around and then say 2030, then 2035. :icon14:

Think hydrogen is closer. It's the prefect fuel. Hydrogen and oxygen, and you get water for the by product. The problem now is that it still takes more energy to produce it. They are working on hydrogen generators to produce it cheap enough. The one draw back is when it burns. You can't see the flame. You could walk into it and not know it until you feel the heat and burn. We used it at the power plant to cool the generators. Talk about safety precautions. :eek:

Solar, you HAVE to keep the panels clean. If they are in a dusty area. You will have maintenance people that their only job is to keep the panels clean. Anything on the panels WILL cut down their output a lot.

I thought I was doing something wrong :eek:

My research came to the same conclusions re. hydrogen and fusion. I agree that hydrogen as a viable answer is probably 10-20 years out and is our best bet. :tup::tup:

Fusion is going to be essential for Mars and asteroid belt colonization though. We can’t talk about large scale power production in those environments or reliability powering deeper space craft (getting too far from the sun) without it.

Since there are 100s of trillions of dollars to be made in this space, I’m confident the technical hurdles will get cracked. :tup:

Never underestimate greed. It’s the not so secret sauce to our (capitalism’s) greatness.

Still alive here. We made it thru the sub-teen temps but lost power last night around 8p. Thankfully it’s been reasonable, hovered between 28-35* today. Power came back around 6p today. Think they are rolling blackouts to give everyone a little warmth in the house.

Really sucks to take PTO to sit here with no power.

Damn. Stay safe I’m thinking warm thoughts for ya. :tup:
