Not sure if anyone is following it, but the Valley Fire in Northern California is insane. Never have I seen a fire grow so rapidly and be so devastating. 25,000 acres in less that 24 hours, multiple structures lost, half of a town is on fire right now. Many people have been trapped while trying to evacuate. Its just insane to think about.

What's the oil pressure sender That I need for a 850/70 for an aftermarket gauge? I left the one I had in the red 854 when I junked it and I don't have the site bookmarked anymore. 

It was a two post  with the idiot light hook up.... Mike knows which one..

 

I think I found it but what's the thread and pitch I need?

VW - :a-farmboy:

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Friday directed Volkswagen to recall nearly a half-million cars, saying the automaker illegally installed software in its diesel-power cars to evade standards for reducing smog.

The Environmental Protection Agency accused the German automaker of using software to detect when the car is undergoing its periodic state emissions testing. Only during such tests are the cars’ full emissions control systems turned on. During normal driving situations, the controls are turned off, allowing the cars to spew as much as 40 times as much pollution as allowed under the Clean Air Act, the E.P.A. said.

Affected diesel models include the 2009-15 Volkswagen Jetta, 2009-15 Beetle, 2009-15 Golf, 2014-15 Passat and 2009-15 Audi A3.

Just heard on the news that San Francisco is considering making a law that will allow police to ignore when cyclist do not obey stop lights or signs. Cyclist say it is inconvenient to have to stop at every light and sign, especially on a hill. They want to be able to go through them when they feel like it.

Okay, so they bitch and complain about how they have the right to be on roadway, just as much as cars but they only want to follow the rules that are convenient for them? This is the arrogant self-righteousness that makes me not able to stand these people.
