andy i heard the album sucked, but if you have it i guess you know how it is!

rich, i have been seeing a lot of industrial generators on the road lately. i think large manufacturing places are starting to see how much they can save by running them. i know covidien in north haven put a bunch of CAT units in and run them on natural gas. they are using the exhaust heat to replace electric heaters in certain manufacturing processes they use, and if the numbers are right they will be cutting off of the grid entirely and running solely on the generators. i thought it was pretty interesting. what kind of injectors are the ones you replaced today?

I second that Miles. I like warm weather with no humidity. I want no part of last summer. CO always got pretty, but at least it stayed dry. Plus, if it got too warm, I could escape up the mountains where it would drop at least 15 degrees.

I am looking forward to the Brad Paisley concert in two weekends...unfortunately I didn't think it through and am going with my gf

andy, a lot of people are saying the new sugarland is "wierd" and disappointing.
it was, and you are sure right, the scenery was NICE! lol I think Eric Church (the opener) did alittle better than Jason cause he (Eric) was more energetic and loud with his songs...

Aaron,
You should wire it up to a 15-20,000V neon sign transformer, or at least a cattle fence charger...

it would be very easy, considering it resides in the barn where there is already a live fence charger. i decided against it because my mom or dad may brush past it while doing other things, and i have given them enough gray hairs already

i might still do that, and cover it in a rubber tarp. i figured it would double as mouse control. little *******s are always filling the airbox and silencer with rat poison from the neighbors houses.

It's funny you should mention that. A friend I know owns a business and he told me a couple of times that the commercial electric rate is based on his peak, and his peak is at startup at the beginning of the day. So his entire day and month is based on his startup at the beginning of the day and that run all day all month. It doesn't seem right. One of his solutions is to run generators in the morning for his startup, which he plans on installing when he builds his new building.

As for the injectors, I wasn't paying attention to the kind because they came from the other diesel and were sent out for refurbishment. I believe they are original for these two diesels. I'll check some more tomorrow.

Sugarland is ok pop music. In no world is it country. And I think it's Jennifer Nettles fault that Rascal Flatts thought it was ok to do a song with Justin Queeber.

Good morning everyone. No surprise that the wet stuff is still falling out of the sky. Combine that with the supposed high today of 82 and boy is it going to be humid

Guy over the hill's kid (he's in his late 20s) is a drug addict who has been in and out of Cheshire Correctional for a while. And he was caught scrapping stuff he stole from his father not long ago.
That really sucks Pete, I know how you feel. I had a MIG welder stolen outta my shed eight or so years ago, up to that point I never locked the shed the neighborhood seemed safe till then. I more recently had a plow frame and pump stolen which wasn't locked but it was an old 80's Pathfinder setup so I thought no one would want it and I figured I was safe, Nope. I hope they catch the guy
