I did your poll just so I could share this photo. :D

:o

Just for kicks, here the ones sucking up to KingNothing at dinner;   The GOP lawmakers at Wednesday’s dinner were Sens. John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Tom Coburn, Kelly Ayotte, Pat Toomey, Bob Corker, Ron Johnson, Saxby Chambliss, John Hoeven, Dan Coats, Richard Burr and Mike Johanns. Toomey, Johnson and Chambliss headed to the Senate floor later that night.   Here's who stood with Rand;   The Republican senators who participated in the filibuster with Paul include, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Mike Lee (R-Utah), Pat Toomey (R-Penn.), John Thune (R-S.D.), John Barrasso (R-Wy.), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.). Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) was in attendance and supported Paul’s filibuster by bringing the senator a thermos and an apple, a likely reference to “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.” 

James McMurtry, heard of him before but never really listened, I like it.  :up:

Hey, they were in Watertown not long ago too.  :rock:

Amen to that but all we have control over is L&B.  I'm through donating to out of state candidates so the folks in AZ and SC need to get a clue.     .

Well, 5pm 3/7 and it's pretty much over except for the bashing of Rand Paul from the MSM who's riding on the back of John :surrender: McCain. :waiting:

Loved it when Mr. Cruz called out the 90 democrats that should be there supporting Brennan. I wonder how many dems really are there?

I'm feel like I have plenty, a little short on .38 compared to my 9mm and will soon be the up to snuff on my .380.  ;)   Forgot about the .22, got plenty there too and from the recent shortages I'm glad I haven't needed to buy any.   Of course, "plenty" or "sitting good" depends on each others definition of.   :D         .

  Fully agree, how much longer? I thought we had enough that Romoney was a shoe in. If we don't take the senate, we are doomed.   :death:   One sad note on Rand, he voted for Hagel's appointment. Could call it a flip flop that will probably haunt him. Here's a Glenn Beck interview on that http://www.glennbeck.com/2013/02/28/rand-paul-talks-to-glenn-about-hagel-brennan-and-the-sequester/   I admire many of the things he's says and applaud his filibuster against Brennan but also keeping a close eye on him.   Ted Cruz is another one I'm excited about.  :usa:   http://youtu.be/D9LXMORxmW0

  Thanks.    I had one mechanic give me a quote with a new crate motor, $4800.  :eek: No way I'm going that route.  I may be in touch.  :up:

Rand Paul is doing a filibuster on the senate floor about this subject. I like this guy.  :usa:

  What about the electrical, will the car it talk to the B18c or are there electrical components also to swap? I feel safer doing a direct swap assuming I'll have to do one. 

Might be a groundhog, don't think they like cat food.  :shrug:

Thanks, this discussion got me to thinking about a compression test. May be best before we bring it home too. I appreciate everyones comments, it really helps to sort things out.  No one has mentioned if and where a good engine can be found in MId-Tn, Grooms rebuilds come to mind but my son says the JDM motors are a good and cheaper bet.   If I can git'r'done for around a grand it would probably be worth it and I might as well put a new clutch in too.   The PVC will also be checked and may be the cause of the sudden loss of oil...but actually I think he just failed to keep an eye on the level. Not sure when I can get up there to work on it and really don't care to work in the freezing weather. Time is also not an issue, he 's got another car to drive.

You really don't need to vote for him anyway, he's been in there too long regardless of any achievements.  :2cents:

Pinch me, is CBS calling KingNothing a liar? During his news conference to announce that he and congressional leaders failed to avert the sequester cuts going into effect tonight, President Obama gave several examples of people who will be directly affected by the cuts. It turns out, however, that one of those examples was in error. "[A]ll the folks who are cleaning the floors at the Capitol -- now that Congress has left, somebody is going to be vacuuming and cleaning those floors and throwing out the garbage -- they're going to have less pay," Mr. Obama said. "The janitors, the security guards, they just got a pay cut, and they've got to figure out how to manage that. That's real." http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57572180/u.s-capitol-official-obama-wrong-on-janitors-pay-cut/   Nah, he just made an error.  :drama:

Here's another one of my bike with a recent project I completed for it.

  I've listened to it once and didn't see any smoke at idle but he has seen it blowing blue smoke upon acceleration. He pulled the plugs and two of them were black, black with shoot or oil I don't know. Appears to run fine without a miss or power loss. The noise or grinding quietens a little when it warms up at idle but increases with rpms. I was first thinking a cam bearing, starving the topend for oil but now he says it blowing smoke.   I've heard about removing the plug, at first I didn't think this would tell you about rod knock but removing the wire eliminates the combustion explosion therefore less stress on the rod/piston...correct? He's done this and the noise doesn't change   Do you know anyone who sells JDM motors in Mid TN? I'd rather trust one of them than a junkyard engine. Thanks     I have thought about pulling the oil pan and yanking the pistons out from that end if it can be done on a Honda. That would be a cheap fix if the cylinders or crank's not scored. Probably not what an ASE mechanic would advise but still an option.           .

Thanks   The engine is making a noise like a scored bearing, cam or rod bearing we believe.    One mechanic that we don't know and who acted like he didn't want to work on it said it was a broke piston ring but I'd think we would notice a loss of power...?   The car is in Cookeville, may take a chance and bring it home stopping ever so often to check the oil.

97 model B16 motor. 190K miles, just did the timing belt and new tires.   It has alway drank a little oil but never noticed it blowing out the tailpipe. My son notice it using more oil lately and with his hectic schedule he ran it low and began to hear a noise. Seems like it lost a lot of oil at one time in his opinion. He added two quarts and the noise continues and sounds to me like it's on top, maybe not? Doesn't appear to have loss power but is blowing oil smoke out and two plugs are black.   We are weighing our options and haven't yet taken it to one of our mechanic friends or done a compression test. Looking at a JDM motor replacement as one of the options and wondering if I can get one locally and if anyone has experience with swapping one out? Also, any ideas or input would be great.   Otherwise the car is in great shape and I realize it's a fix and keep or lose my shirt situation.       .

The title of the thread is an oxymoron, he's so good at lying and manipulating the truth I suspect KingNothing has never been honest about anything in his whole life.

  Whatever cut to their salary takes place it will most likely get reimbursed later on and the crap never gets fixed.
