What's most notable about the tests done back in 2007 is that the baseline fuel used for the test was much, much worse than the baseline fuel I've seen in newer tests. IIRC the 2007 baseline fuel produced an HFRR scar around 620 microns and I've seen tests from within the last 5 years, some...

I just noticed you're in NorCal. I've spent some time up there and if my work was easy to relocate I would prefer to be up there. I have some family in Eureka and lived in Covelo for a brief spell. When traveling north on 101 I always feel better once the Bay Area is in the rear view mirror...

Oh I like that a lot. With the 11' setup do you ever support the middle or is there zero flex with the 2" square tube?

Kind of like an OTR truck driver needs to care about their engine oil and someone like myself who drives less than 10k miles per year can get away with a more casual approach.

I guess 2x6 selection at the lumber yard will make or break the results. Did you ever plane the boards or otherwise mitigate the variances often found in plain ol' SPF(Spruce/Pine/Fir) lumber? Things don't have to be perfect but when I take the time to mill something I always aim for as close...

From time to time I come across some logs that I would like to mill into beams for outdoor projects such as stairs, garden beds, small retaining walls, etc. On larger diameter material an extension ladder is quick and easy to setup for the first cut but it can be a beach on the smaller stuff...

Back around 2007 when ULSD became mandated nationwide one of the diesel forums took up a collection and had an independent lab test a bunch of diesel fuel lubricity improvers. Has anyone here thought about doing something similar? I know results from a lab don't always transfer to the real...

I haven't seen or, until now, even noticed they made an All-Sport oil. Anything Redline is expensive for sure. At the end of the day I can't help but come to the conclusion that there is no conclusive evidence that points to a clear winner. Some guys can break an anvil with both hands tied...

Boy oh boy do I love these oil threads--any forum, anytime. I'm watching Jackie Gleason take acid in Skidoo and reading this thread so it's an awesome double-dose of insanity. I don't have a particularly strong opinion about a favorite oil but I did not see a mention of Redline 2T racing oil...
