    Go further north and you won't have to deal with freezing rain.

    You know... was thinking about you and HH today.. I think I know the secret.

    Spend all your time in 0-10 degree weather come down south and you can wear shorts and flip flops at 25 degrees and get #### done. I practically walked across the parking lot tonight (36 degrees) in a t-shirt. Huh? What? It’s nice out!

    :p

    You kids have been busy today . . . I ain’t got much love for public bickering, I’d rather you fellas settle that honorably. I understand this thread has been the downfall of some.

    Old Blacky got her test run of 180 miles to the shipper today.

    New turbo appears strong, cautiously watching pyro temps - wondering if my ISSPRO gauge needs updating - it settles at 250f when cold, should show ambient temp, right? - not sure if they can be calibrated? Or a digital conversion?

    Right shoulder feels like it’s about to pull an ‘ adhesive capsulitis trick’ - effing with the generator the other night I think.

    Ditched the 36 by 40 monster tarp and loaded dunnage, down here in AR for 56’ long titanium tube to Morristown, TN. Stretch to 58, full tarp. Think I better call the local po po just in case, the way out has the ‘we hate trucks red stripe’ sign up.

    Mama said I had to go back to work. $15k on the black girlfriend in the shop and 2 weeks in the recliner pushed her over the edge.

    Behave yourselves fellas.

    If you can’t be good, be good at it :)

    Don't believe that changes one ounce.
    The first number is the square surface area, and the second is available stroke.
    So it's the same physical push force, can just push further.
    I guess if you had longer slacks for more leverage then yes, and then you would also need more travel length due to the longer slacks traveling further to equal the same degree of S-cam turn

    Lol, just means more roads!

    It was 3°F in Ray, ND when I was there unloading on Friday, I was outside in sneakers, jeans with long-johns and essentially two hoodies over my t-shirt and a touque. It was almost warm compared to what we had up in Winnipeg earlier that day (almost -40 with the windchill).

    Could just be the lower limit, and doesn't matter.
    Verify accuracy at operating temps. As long as it works down to ~350° or so you're fine. Should never shut down above 350ish or you risk carmelizing the oil on the turbo bearings.
    Under 350° is irrelevant.
