Penguin4x4

I should be but oddly I'm not...

we all should

being not busy makes Penguin4x4 a dull boy...

methinks the "possible barrier" thread has run its course...

show up at their house with a boombox? 80's movies are fun...

House just near gave me a heart attack holy shit this is a great show

its not just a big flush valve and big exit pipe though, the way its designed the water falls a longer distance so there's more force pushing it out of the bowl; pretty clever engineering for such a simple device, actually...

I don't think I've encountered a crappier (HA!) 1.6 model in my life, to be honest. I'm glad its gone... and the tank looks bigger but that's the camera angle; its a few inches shorter than the old one and makes up the difference in girth

Probably the same reason the morons in my subdivision have livestock. Would explain that shiny new truck with "Farm Truck" plates...

I know I don't want to have any dealings with livestock for the rest of my life. My dad is trying to encourage my grandpa to get rid of his cattle. has been for like 5 years. They are easily the worst part of farming and take the most out of you. Having them calve in the winter like he does is especially hard. But for some reason my grandpa just won't fully get rid of them. But my dad says when he takes over the farm in a few years those damn things are out of there as fast as he can get semis in to haul them away. Various tax benefits/write-offs, I'd assume

Both are 1.6 gpf

bullshit. baseball is the second most boring sport next to golf. fuck golf, fuck baseball, AND FUCK YOU FOX

motherfucking baseball pre empting my motherfucking TV shows I DON'T CARE ABOUT MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL FOX

Saw this article and immediately thought of Sean http://jalopnik.com/5385125/fail-when-a-400-ton+haul-truck-tries-to-carry-600-tons

fucker weighs probably twice as much as the old one too

outlet pipe is equally massive, nearly 2 1/2" inside diameter

New toilet going in in the guest bath. Been needing it basically since we've moved in. New American Champion 4 flush system versus the Universal-Rundle POS it replaces:

<-- has never applied for a job I haven't gotten. Which is exactly why I should go apply for something new, only to shoot the moon. Someone encourage me. Double dog dare you. Find one for me to apply to General Dynamics, Dell and Lockheed are looking for senior positions to fill down here in TX know if they're looking for any entry level positions? All the time Texas Instruments too Especially if you're an engineer; practically every company from every field are looking for engineers down here in Texas That's beacause if you aren't from Texas you don't want to live there I shouldn't have added the Texas part; right now healthcare professionals (nurses, doctors, etc.), engineers, and sales reps are the three most "in demand" job markets in the US, regardless of location

what do they build there? Currently they build Tundras there, and with the hiring of 850 employees they are expanding production to include Tacomas as well

Toyota's also adding about 850 jobs to their San Antonio plant

Ever see them refuel a nuclear reactor? That's what they're doing here right now; refueling and maintenance Will be nice when they get the two new reactors in, then my parents can sell this house and retire up by the rest of our family... I'll be at Sandia National labs today and tomorrow and Los Alamos on Wednesday. The home of the nukes. Coooooool

oh and if you haven't already, Kader, you should check out the nuclear industry. They always need competent engineers
