  1. You can't hide money. Somehow a turbo wankel in a bimmer body is just wrong. This, for a traditional inline or V-X configuration engine. It's a sign that you're running too much boost pressure. This happens because the cylinder pressure is so high that the head is flexing and the intake charge is blowing past the head gaskets. It needs to be modified for more head bolts. An engine won't last long in that configuration. But this engine is a rotary so it doesn't have traditional cylinder heads, so I'm not exactly sure what's going on.
  2. I've worn my supertuck against my skin with no comfort issues.
  3. I think all those old Triumphs, Nortons, and such are neat. I think I'd like to have one, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to maintain it.
  4. Home - Monster Miata <- Cool cars. I hope the cooling system is up to the task in that Fiero. I've no doubt that it's a hoot to drive.
  5. Boring? Not really. Have to watch poorly produced videos made in the 80's? Yep. Worth every second? Yep. It's all in the instructor. A good one can make it entertaining and informative. If the class seems boring to you, ask some questions. Generate some discussion. It will help everyone relax and you'll enjoy it more.
  6. I wouldn't risk my life/health based on the opinion of one uninformed judge. Unfortunate as it may be, in today's legal system the paper trail is very important. Get the restraining order. Call 911 anytime you see him. File assault charges. I would think his attacking anyone with his Hep C virus would be considered assault with a deadly weapon. "Intent to inflict grave bodily injury" at least. Same as people who know they are infected and spit on cops. Armed response is clearly justified IMO. But I'm not a judge. At the very least, it really sucks that you have to deal with this. Especially since it's your brother. I'd hate to give in to him, but is moving an option?
  7. While the above certainly seems to be true, I think you did the right thing.
  8. With Phil, Sig, Andy, and Jonathan gone, the show is done. I'll turn off my DVR.

    The 24/7 compact and PT145 are essentially the same gun. AFAIK, the differences are cosmetic. You want to look for a 3rd generation (I think) PT145, which is easily identified by the presence of the accessory rail. Prior versions had frame cracking issues.
  10. If properly cared for, at least 30 years. My Dad built a 2-story deck on the house I grew up in. We cleaned and sealed it roughly annually. 25 years later, it was still very solid. You'll think that right up until you price the plastic stuff. The cheap, ugly plastic stuff is double the cost. The pretty plastic stuff is 4x more. Wood deck maintenance involves 2 afternoons a year and at most $200. And you still have to clean the plastic stuff.

  13. You're definitely gonna have to use something dark/opaque to cover that, more like paint than stain. A pressure washer should knock off most of the loose stuff. I wouldn't even consider standing it. Don't know how much sun it gets, but be sure it's had a good 48 hrs to dry before you start staining. I'd get a quart and try a small area to see how it looks/covers first.
  14. I used to travel fairly regularly for business, occasionally internationally. I'd stick a small zip tie through the zipper pulls to "lock" my luggage. I'd also put a few spare zip ties in a ziplock bag right on top. On a few occasions, when I opened my bag at my destination or at home, I'd find the note from TSA in my bag stating it had been searched. Every time, a zip tie had been reinstalled.
  15. I stained the deck at my previous house a couple years ago. I prepped it by spraying with a pressure washer then let it dry for a few days. If it was really bad, I'd use a mixture of TSP and Clorox. I rolled the stain on and had mucho problems with it being splotchy. Based on a friend's results, thinning the stain and using a power sprayer is much easier. Just like painting anything else, several thin coats works better than one thick coat. As stated, just be sure to mask off EVERYTHING you don't want stained... the house, the plants, etc. The stuff gets everywhere and, well... stains.
  16. It's just me for a couple days, so I'm not worried about it. If my family was along for the ride, it'd be different. Like any big city, there's nice places and not-so-nice places. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.
  17. I like Tex-Mex food and I've heard its excellent there. I also intend to try this place as well... Goode Company | Goode Company Bar-B-Q mmmmm.... bbq Unfortunately my employer might think differently. And I prefer to remain employed.
  18. I'm flying in so no guns for me. Staying downtown, near the convention ctr. Find any good food?
  19. I'm also heading to Houston for a training class next week. Interesting info here.

    Mine shoots great, though it doesn't like non-jacketed hollow points. I've never made the mistake of tearing it down to clean it.
  21. The grip and stance become much more important as she progresses to more powerful handguns. Best to make sure they're both correct now. My wife requires occasional reminders to shoot off her front foot, rather than her back foot. Next time you go, have some simple practice drills prepared. It'll help keep it interesting, rather than mindlessly perforating paper. You might also talk her into signing up for the "Women on Target" course. My wife took it a while back (before the staff shake-up) and found it fun and informative.
  22. I take mine to the range every time I go (which has been quite infrequent lately ). I'll typically fire 20-100 rounds with it, depending on what I'm working on. Since my 9mm is a little cheaper to shoot, it tends to get the bulk of the work. I also practice drawing and dry firing at home occasionally.

    Perhaps you've already seen this... http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/handguns/45568-taurus-owners-i-have-question.html My personal experience is limited to my PT145, which I really like. I've had it for about 5 years, 800-ish rounds, no problems.
  24. Greetings! I'm not a hunter, but I wish I was. Too busy with kids. I'd like to get into it in the next couple years.
