April 24, 201411 yr I gotta go to Racine WI next month. Any worthwhile places to visit? Only in town for 2 days for training, so it is not a big visit.Not in Racine per se. Pretty close to Milwaukee or Chicago though. My step brother is in Chicago. He's an attorney with the the EPA. I'd rather steer clear of that area. Chicago is really small, lol. I run into people I know there all the time.

I thought Chevy made power for cheap.

April 24, 201411 yr Transmission is the next or could be first with a bad tuner. Part of the reason I am contemplating Turbos instead of a Maggie. Lag will drop the power where it shifts hopefully extending the life of the clutch packs which are what normally fails under high power first.* *or so I've read
April 24, 201411 yr I have some pictures and may just star his build log for him.For sure, I want to see pictures

April 24, 201411 yr Admin Probably Aaron. I'm just an insensitive self absorbed fuckface. Wait what? No, not at all. I have a picture of him and I right before the end.I wish I had been home when my mom had to put down my boxer from when I was a teenager. Some of the last pictures I have of him are with the DD 9512's I had purchased while I was deployed.J :(

April 25, 201411 yr Just got done grilling and I have learned two lessons.1) NEVER ask the woman to pick up steak. She craps out and buys cheap shitty cuts cause it's what they have.2) NEVER get meat from Wal*Mart. If this was the best ribeye or serloin they had, this is fucking pathetic. While it is a different cut than I normally buy, this is beyond night and day difference.Perhaps buying nice strip steaks of 'grass fed no hormone, no antibiotic' steak has made me a steak snob.JThen up the ante from the grass fed crap and fine corn fed beef. WAY better. Grass fed is a tree hugger idiots idea to ruin the taste of beef. Not saying you can't have a good piece of grass fed beef as how you treat the animal is as important as the diet, but if the same animal was fed corn it would be WAY yummier. I do feel sorry for you all South of IA. Steaks get funkier the further away from the Midwest you get.What does the price difference look like? Also do the antibiotics and hormones truly effect the taste and texture much?I only ask because knowing my luck I will find corn fed beef that does not offer that.JAll unrelated.Price for corn fed is cheaper, thank the stupid tree huggers for making shitty taste more money. Hormones and antibiotics can be associated with either corn or grass. Normally those are feed lot beasts and they never taste as good. Grass fed feed lots exist as well.Good to know. Time to find a good butcher.J

April 25, 201411 yr So yea shitty night at work. Long story short, got an email from being out last night (I called and emailed in advance) for an interview today. The email took on a threatening tone. I chose to speak to him about it today and he got more hostile and agressive. In turn i took the earlier date (Friday) turned my shit in and left.Brightest idea? Not so much. Best for me to avoid issues? Damn straight.J

Obviously there can always be THE exception, but then it'll cost you.

I sort of want. have you ever seen one outside the engine bay? The fuckers are huge. Just a big lump of aluminum filled with a bunch of steel. The LS is a compact dream. Look at them side by side and you'll understand. It's the difference between a stone and a boulder.
