Can you get me a drawing and I can see if I can make something out of aluminum on our lathe. Something that small might be a bit of a challange on our large equipment.

 

I dunno what you mean by a drawing. All I've got is a picture. Should have one in my possession in about a week.

 

@Seth, I wanna do the blue Patina now, out of solid copper.

 

 

Ok, maybe once you get one you can take some measurments and make me a picture with that information. Then I can try to make some chips.

Always willing to help out friends.

If I could get one of our customers to step up to the plate I'd have a full 3D CAD scanner, but it'll probably be a year.

I'm contemplating a 3D printer.

Thanks bro. I think it might just be easier for me to mail it to you. The Sir Lancelot mod is pre-order so she won't be here til late March or early April, so I really don't have to rush much. If the value of small production mods keeps rising, it might end up being worth a lot more than I paid, so I plan on having it forever and getting my setup perfected.

Muy chingon, ay mira I'm gonna get a 3d printer.

That with a 3D printer would be awesome!

Which ever works best for you.

Nice to see your life is not over Sean.

He needs to just send me that 6" lathe, since I have a little dream team together now trying to build mechanical vape mods.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck.

Applied for tech support position for the decommissioning work at Knolls Atomic Laboratory in upstate New York. Would be interesting work for sure.

 

Looks like Bennington, VT would be an ideal spot, and the commute wouldn't be any worse than normal.

Awesome. So basically it was flooded and needed a relearn.

 

Sounds like I might be inquiring of the validity of my bill with the cheeseball shop when I pulled up in the Altima I got running on my own if I were in your shoes.

 

 

. . . Especially since they tore some shit apart and left it that way.

Normally I'm not into conflict, but I would definitely follow up based on this. That's incredibly unprofessional and lazy of that shop.

I would actually say it borders on illegal, but maybe they were just that lazy and not liars. Hard to know, but with the fix being so simple, it's tough to imagine a shop not being able to diagnose that properly.

 

Luckily the guys at this shop are just stupid, and not thieves. We actually got a free radiator out of it as they broke something on it and replaced the whole thing, and we weren't charged anything for their "work". I think that they did an oil change too, but I'm going to have to find out. I called the guy at the desk after I drove it home a few weeks ago and he was very apologetic and admitted that it was probably best to take it to a Nissan guy, he said that they didn't charge us anything because they felt bad about the situation. We have been taking my Infiniti and my Mom's Altima there for the past 10 years and there were a few times where I should have realised that they were not very capable. They also recently drained the oil on my buddies 2013 camaro and didn't add any oil he drove it home before he figured out what they had done.

 

I'm kind of sad today though because I went and started it up again and it was very shaky and felt like it was going to stall. I had assumed that there was still something underlying that needed to be dealt with, but now I'm getting worried. After it warmed up it ran for 5 miles or so without any issues but then it began to run rough again. I'm going to park it for now I guess and take it somewhere reputable when I have time. I'm also going to pull the codes myself if I ever get the bluetooth obd scanner that I ordered.

Are you factoring in the 9 mths of winter driving in that commute?

Just applied for HR positions with the TB Bucs and Lightning. Both are full time and year around. It would be great to combine my love of sports, and the HR experience from the Military.

Let's see how this turns out. I need to hunt more for work, since this job is not such a great place, and the drive across the city (which these positions would reduce) is getting insane. Especially at night,

Best of luck finding a better job J. With your skills you should be solid.

 

You guys were the cool kids from my childhood.

Nothing has changed. At least I have me dog.

I stared working at my dad's diesel shop and moms restaurant around age 7. If I wanted something I had to save my own pennies.

 

I built most of my bikes from scratch as a youth, As I am a hands on kind of guy if you know what I mean.

 

I hate to admit it, but I stole my Mongoose. Honestly, though, it was the only thing I ever really stole in my life. I detest a fucking thief.

Good to here you are honest by fault. My kind of guy. Come on here with that purdy mouth.  

 

 

Will post pics once I get it the Performer home!!! I have a skate park a block from my house.

I have been watching Ebay for a pro. I had one back in the day, but damn they are worth ridiculous amounts of money now. Nostalgia is not worth that much to me and I'm too old to be tricking.

 

The guy at the shop, Randy, has 20 1988 GT Performers still in the box he claims he wont sell. He had one on the show floor that was just the original frame and forks built up with cool accessories he wanted 5 bills for. The one I scored from my buddy is the limited edition in black with the mini replica and riding gear for, 400!!! CHA-CHING!!! Once I get board of it I can sell it to Randy, my bike guy I am sure for a pretty penny.

 

 

Nah. That would have been this one

That rear suspension looks sickly!! What are the highlights of the new model?

 

38lbs lighter, 15% more horsepower via lightened crank, electronic valves, electronic oil pump and different porting.

0-60 stock at 3.3sec

fastest 1/4mi

fastest 1000'

much more rider controlled as the riding position has move nearly 5" forward so you can articulate the whole sled with your body weight

Even the short track now comes with a 1.75" ditchbanger track if you want

Ditch banger shock valving on the ProX as well

Built in GPS in the electronic speedo

Seriously a major game changer. Makes everything else look like 1995.

 

They seriously moved the rider forward on that beast!!!! I likey! 

 

I couldn't pay new prices either, fuck that when they depreciate the second they leave the show room.

Wow hard to catch up on even just one day of hop.

Jordan we could use good HR people at my company. I know a couple that need to go.
