Thanks. I got it out of a trash can for practicing rebuilds and to maybe try some experimental porting

Won’t gain much porting a clammy without some extensive machine work. But you can widen the exhaust and intake. Maybe knotch the piston skirt on the intake side to give it some more duration easily. Good practice. Wouldn’t raise the exhaust any. If it’s loses compression it will lose more torque than gaining horsepower. Just my 2 cents

I didn't realize how fuggin hot she was / is. Never looked her up. Dayum!

I was 19 (horny Teenager) when it originally came out... Those leather pants started a trend that I could get behind. Ended up dating a girl that worked in the leather store in the mall.

Saw her live fall of 2018 or 19, for 60 she was still pretty hot, has definitely taken care of herself.

I edited it to specify notching the piston skirt on the intake side so you could understand what I meant

For a little job no communication between the GC office and our office. All kinds of stuff not in contract and they just want us to fix the stuff they missed for no extra charges. I say GFY

Good Morning All

Fairly mild 9f to start this January morning.

View attachment 275937

Most other years I would already be on a plane bund for MSP and then DFW, this mark a full year that I haven’t travelled anywhere.

F&*king Hate COVID!!!

I like the fact that we can't travel right now. I spent 20 years traveling all over North America for fires and disasters and am happy to stay at home nowadays.

In 1994 I had 550 flight hours in helicopters and in 2010 I had more than 25k miles on commercial flights.

Yeah that I did. Here's hoping ay.

How did that work mate?
Were you part of a centralised emergency response team or the like?

Pretty much. I was a Department of Interior firefighter and then worked on-call for FEMA. I spent much of the 90's working on
DOI flight crews assigned to megafires throughout the west. I was an aviation manager for FEMA and the Eastern Emergency Operations Coordination Center.

A lot of those miles I racked up in 2010 were going back and forth to Deepwater Horizon.

As part of the oil and gas industry I thank you for your service, 6000 miles away not withstanding.

Can’t imagine how stressful that was. I work in a solid fuels power plant And we have had lots of fires. I’ve fought quite a few fires. Nothing like yours but none of them fun.

I feel the same way for you guys - the old boys I worked with on DH were running hard. The Ops Chief I worked with from BP was probably under more stress at that time than a
sitting US President. The two crew chiefs I was working with out of Orange Beach put in more than 50 hours each when the platform first blew. Those guys were tired.

The capper of all that was that one of their 42' clean-up boats was stolen out of their Marina in Pensacola while I was there. They figured it was guys from the Bahamas that took it.
I think the boat was valued at around $2.5m with all of the electronics it had on it.

So probably a typical question but did the movie even do it justice?

I didn't see the movie - but I doubt it did. There was some crazy stuff going on down there. I went out with the Rangers one day to some salt marshes on the
Alabama/Mississippi border, we found about 20 turtles completely covered in tar. We got 'em to the rehab center and I think most survived.
I got a report one day that there was a big slick about a mile offshore that Dolphins were swimming in. We sent the Coast Guard out to check it.
