Dave 54

Tell me about it. Got on plane to fly out of BWI, pushed out onto tarmac and get a announcement that the plane is to heavy and they have to go back to the gate to kick 6 people off. which made us almost late to our connecting flight in Atlanta, doors were closed but they hadn't pulled out of the gate yet so they let us on.

Leaving to come home seemed ok, checked bag in Vegas as we had to much stuff to return with, flew into Salt Lake City and connected to our flight to BWI. Get into BWI go to claim our bag and nothing. Go to desk, it's still in Salt Lake city and will be heading to Atlanta then back to BWI. Half the flight got there luggage the rest didn't. They said you can come back tommorow to pick it up, I said wrong answer you butt wipes can deliver it to me at my place of residence. Messed up thing is the bag had all the new contact info, catalogs and free samples we collected at the convention. Now my wife is set behind until sometime next week, freakin loser of an airline!

Back from Vegas, what fun that was. Def. will be going back next year for the convention, wifes boss man said though he will make sure to send us for a week. Won $250 at craps

However I have nothing nice to say about flying on Delta, what a dumbass airline. Will never fly with them again!

this is bullshit, you guys getting along now?

either play nice or constantly fight ok..?..

we are talking and patching things, sometimes the small stuff seems to get the best of us.

listen why don't you just put on one of your stupid grateful dead t-shirts and preach your dirty hippy "peace and happiness" crap

I have that already covered.

At a hippie glass convention so.....

Was just thinking about shooting you a PM saying enjoy your trip, so relax and enjoy your trip!

Thanks man, it is awsome here. I wanna move now!!!

105 degree's right now but it feels like the 90+ with ungodly humidity we get at home.

Agreed Dave, karma points will pay off in the long run 10 fold.

Just got back to the hotel after walking the strip in Vegas. Time to crash out for a bit and see what tomorrow brings.

:lol:

titys and blow

Wife will be along. Going with her actually for a convention for her work.

I'm not a gambler so I figure i'll hang in the hotel during the day and hit the town at night, maybe a slot here and there but that's the extent of my gambling.

Any shows to recommend?

where can i find a bracket for the MSD coils? i dont really know if i have the capability to make one

it's easy with a some alum. angle and piece of wide flate stock and poprivets and your done. probably take all of about 30 min....that's how I relocated my horns. made a bracket for under the battery on the frame rail.

So going to Vegas next week for 4 days......any suggestions?

anyone got the part number for the auto dimming mirror from C70's? trying to find it online for a decent price. i would have taken it from justin's C70 but steve nabbed it first

I was eyeing it up too, but heard Jack snagged the harnees so was like f-it. The hunt is still on .

anything below 90

where can you find one for 75?

erie volvo has them for like 85 without harness. maybe if you called them they could get you the pigtail.....for a small fee of course i'm sure. :rolleyes:

Either save for my trip to Vegas or buy axles

Nice i'm going to vegas in a few weeks .

Now, if we only had cooled seats.

Getting ready to modify a lower vent in under the steering wheel from a 1st gen dsm in mine, closest to cooled seats I can come up with. Crotch vents will be the new pegs .

Bridge Demo

Existing bridge from my old jobsite getting dropped into the river. Enjoy.

That's so cool!!!

^

damn he found a winner. does she know car stuff at all?

pics about 8-10 houses down from me...looks like we found the low point. water is bubbling up from the manholes.

Dad approves ..she's into cars big time...she really likes the the 2 R's.

Wow that's alot of water. Hope it doesn't get much worse!

My oldest boy got a new lady friend this summer. She's super cool!!!

Going this weekend to watch her at Maple Grove. She's a junior dragster and currently stands 6th in her bracket and if she wins this weekend she'll be bumped into 2nd.

by the looks of it you'll be getting more. Smaller bands to the south west/west of you with a jet stream pushing straight at you. Pack your ore tomorrow just incase .

Home for lunch, laying 426' of flooring. Skimmed 2 of my fingers across the blade of the saw, wow that was close . 37 years and I still have all my digits, gonna stop and think about the old saying take 2 it's 4 you more often!!!

5.2 in 98' up around jamestown.

there was one last month in dillsburg and bradford pa.

east coast is becoming the west coast .

No seriously I like Cetus wheels.

to each there own i guess .

thats different what I was talking about before .

When pullling a vaccum you need to turn everything off but if your just topping it off you dont have to shut it off if anything you want it running.

What vaccum pump in the system Theres a compressor wich compresses the Refigerent into a liquid but no vaccum.

Now you do use a vaccum pummp to pump down the system but you dont have to vaccum a system with 134a when topping off.

You do have to with a 410a system

Thats great that he installs resi stuff

I will agree on 134a if your just topping off every year and not fixing the actual leak then a vac. down is pointless as your not fixing the problem and air and moisture will just be brought into the system via the leak, but for someone who is actually fixing the leak then it would be wise to do so.

And he does commercial aswell , he does resi. when things are slow in commercial side and does resi. side work, remember we talked briefly on it the last time I was up. Works in Indianapolis making kick butt money in the union, very big city with lots of big office buildings and manufacturing facilities.

I'm fine man, I just don't jive with two people here. It's obvious who they are. I've kept quiet about the one for the most part but the shit talking is just getting out of hand and getting annoying. As for the other one, meh........if we both attend Justin's meet I shall give a big man hug.

Edit: The shit talking I am referring to has been observed here on several occasions, basically hinting towards the fact that I am a moron. The sessions have also been observed every damn time I help my friend Mike with something. I try to keep quiet because I don't want him in the middle of it but the bottom line is there is no need for it.

People can have their own opinions, I completely understand that. But for the love of god, if I do not know how to work on our cars how is mine in such good shape. It has only hit Lehman twice for an A/C recharge and state inspection/emissions testing but apparently I do not know what I am doing. I am not a Volvo god or anything of the sort, by any means. However, I have built quite a bit of experience around the 93 to 98 area and am getting tired of the trash talk.

It's all good. Damn mandatory overtime has started, must venture back to work tonight.

On that note, I need to hit the dealer for my negative battery harness and get my ass home.

Mike swing down here we'll ride the 5min. to my buddy and have him throw his gauges on and check it out. I just did mine, it has a very slow leak at the accumulator/drier. You really need to know what's in the system now. throwing cans at it without knowing this is no good you can damage your compressor thst way. Plus you need to purge the system of air aswell.

requoted for ref. you need to stop adding things between the lines, where did I once say you knew nothing and or trash talked, I merely offered my buddies services to Mike. :rolleyes:

12+ years in the HVAC Field ...........

I think some of you guys forget what I do for a living .....

so in hvac when doing a evac. it's not necessry to make sure you don't shut the pump off without isolating it from the system being evacuated, as air will be sucked backward through the vacuum pump into the system. This will defeat the entire purpose of pulling the vacuum in the first place.

Just curious as my brother in law has been doing installation not sales for over 17 years and this is what he did with my home central unit when it needed servicing.

Theres no air in the system if you still have refrigerent .

"Determine if you have any refrigerant left in your system at all. To do this, you will need to fit a charging hose on the low pressure port, discussed later. Be sure to use eye protection. If your system is completely discharged, it may be contaminated with moisture, and charging will not give satisfactory results unless the source of the leak is found, repaired and the receiver dryer replaced. The open system must be repaired and purged using a vacuum pump to remove air and moisture. You will also want to add compressor oil if the system has been leaking. Evidence of oil leakage and measurement of oil left in a replaced compressor will be a guide as to how much oil to replace."

and also another step some don't do because they don't know don't know.

"Purge the charging hose by opening the valve until you hear it fill with refrigerant, then slowly loosening the brass fitting that connects the hose to the valve. Be careful not to allow refrigerant to spray on bare skin, as this will freeze skin tissue on contact. Re-tighten the hose once you have heard refrigerant escaping, this should have forced any air (and moisture) from the hose."

My friend is a ASE cert. tech and this comes srtaight from his book so take it for what it's worth.

old school.

WHoa wonder if thats before WWII or after :lol:

Buying a can to recharge my AC was the best $20 I spent in a while.

$20? I paid $6.99 a can at walmart of all places .
