Steam locomotive??? That is cool.

I've had a steam boilers license since I was 18.

Just the smell of these is unreal!

I LOVE steam cylinder oil

Almost intoxicating, in a good way!

I'm addicted to Nitro Methane and alcohol top lube, so now I want to smell some oil!

Sean, when is this show?

Poor Peyton. He's again stuck with a shitty defense.

Pulling a single one wouldn't be so much work and I can help make sure he can walk it in so that he can use it to drive around the grounds. It will take him more than the 4 days to see everything and he'll want inter-grounds transportation. Seriously ridiculous amount of things to see.

Thank you for your hospitality, and I know he would love to see that show, I doubt he would be willing to make the trip.

The next time I get up to the farm I will show him their websight so he knows how big that show is.

They even let me drive the full size steam locomotive.

That is badass!

I've got a Nitro car. Fun shit.

Sean, when is this show?

Labor Day weekend. Fri, Sa, Sun & Mon. 30 miles from Fargo, ND.

2013 & 2014 are sponsoring about the only two brand engines I'd want to buy.

Gaar Scott and Minneapolis....if I found a nice Russell I'm game for that too.

Just sold my Transformer prime and I'm throwing around the idea of buying a laptop. On craigslist I have my pick of various i3/4gb/15" laptops for about $300.

I was really wanting to buy a 13" but I didn't find any that were cheap. My idea was a 13" with an i3/i5/i7 and possibly upgrade the hard drive to a solid state to have something cheap and fast to be able to take places.

any ideas? The reason I want to do this is my current laptop will no longer close or stay off the charger for more than 10 min (AKA- it's a desktop)

I'm in the same boat, but has to support back track 5, and have a friendly wireless chipset.

From an article for one of my classes:

"For centuries in the West, the place to go for bloodletting was the barber shop. In fact, the barber's pole originated as a symbol for bloodletting--the brass bowl at the top represented the bowl where leeches were kept, the one at the bottom represented the bowl for collecting blood. And the red and white spirals have their origins in the medieval practice of hanging bandages on a pole to dry them after they were washed. The bandages would twist in the wind and wrap themselves in spirals around the pole.

Thought that was interesting, although the rest is more interesting: origins of hemochromatosis, and it's effects to bubonic plague.

Our bodies require Iron, as does any living form, and those with hemochromatosis don't regulate how much Iron is metabolized, so they end up with excessive amounts that will eventually lead to death. The ironic (no pun intended lol) part is that it causes certain white blood cells "macrophages" to receive less iron, and this causes them to have an advantage to killing bacteria because they essentially starve the bacteria of Iron.

Double edged sword that allowed people to live their life even though it would eventually be their demise. Proving to be quite useful during bubonic plague era if you happened to have it.

Science-y hop.

The end.

Anyone know if True Nutrition emails tracking numbers for the shipment, or if it just shows up at the door one day--like Fi.

If you don't have one by mid afternoon Monday call their 1-800 number. They usually get tracking info to you VERY quickly.

And all this talk of tractors and fall is making me homesick. Damn you H0P

After some eBay research I'm looking into a Lenovo Thinkpad Z370 or a Toshiba Portege. For my ~$400 budget I can swing a second gen i-5 Lenovo, but only a first gen i3/i5 Toshiba.

The Toshiba is about a pound lighter and looks nicer though, but both seem to have a good keyboard and trackpad and I don't like to pass up on performance. I wish I could "give up" the optical drive for a thinner laptop at a cheaper price but all those are just more expensive.

Toshiba? Seen too many issues with them over the last few years. I have 2 coworkers with bricked Toshibas that are under 2 years old. Lenovo TPs are solid units.

Unless you "need" a mobile desktop I think a laptop is silly. Tablets do 99% of what we need. And for a "disposable" price.

Laptop screens are small, and while so are tablets you cannot zoom or hold a laptop 2" from your nose.

Small laptop keyboards are aweful and more expencive than a USB one for a tab. So if you need to do word processing a tab may be a better solution.

Browsing is easier on a tab on the go. Track pads and nipples suck compared to touch screen. Tabs just do more with less hassle. And are less likely to break from a smal fall. They also can be stored and traveled with waaaaaaaay easier.

The gallexy tab II is at costco for sub 350 new with a case. In the big 10". Movies, surfing, email, and stupid fun silly games. Plus if I use the internet from my phone it is a travel machine that is second to none. I have the other galaxy, but I may give my wife the old one and get the new.

The only reason I would conside a laptop is if I NEEDED it for a class. Because I needed to run certain programs and edit them in class. Even the business world is mobing to tabs, they just work more relianly because of less practical issues.

But as I said if you need a new work station then do as needed.

They also charge faster and have much longer battery life and dont need a massive charging cable with power supply.

Again laptops are for doing actual WORK on the go. As in multiple applications at a time. But even a spread sheet can be done on a tab.

For what I'd be using it for, a laptop is needed. I also read that using ssd hard drives can cut back on power consumption, but that's something I still have to research to see if the extra cost is worth it.

And since I'm sure someone is wondering:

Rice Protein Concentrate 20%

Soy Protein Isolate 20%

Whey Protein Concentrate - Super Grade 20%

Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration 20%

Gemma Pea Protein Isolate 20%

Protease Enzyme Complex

I was going to ask, but that is a wild blend. I usually start with the bottom two, and add the vitamin and electrolytes mix.
