    SOCKS!!!

    X3, or whatever we're up to, on the Merino wool. I have all the different sport specific varieties of Smart Wool, and run in them (all seasons), hike in them, ski in them, work in them, etc, etc and keep buying more, despite the somewhat staggering prices. Worth every penny. And yes, everyone...

    What did you find in a tree today?

    Someone here in CT felled a tree (20 years ago) without noticing the power company had guyed the pole across the street to it. Jerked the pole across the road, and the bank of transformers on top of the pole crushed a passing pickup truck and killed the driver.

    What did you find in a tree today?

    Why is it always the looong chain with all those teeth to sharpen that you hit something with??? I care so much less when it's a 14" than the 42".

    Cat 3126 Diesel and other l6 industrial diesels

    I don't have any experience with the early DT466E's, but I drove one of the early Cat 3406E's in a KW for a while. Biggest thing I noticed was the slow throttle response. You couldn't 'blip' the throttle when you were trying to float to a lower gear.

    Life in the temperate zone...

    Nah, forms the eastern border of AA. Mile or 2 from campus. Separates it from Ypsilanti.

    "Yes, I know that Gump." What was I supposed to say, Ann Arbor is on High Street? 30 towns and another state away?

    Life in the temperate zone...

    You didn't seriously just ask that, did you? You don't even know where your enemy is, and you're only a few hours away? Google it! Or, it's on Route 23 (yes, THAT Route 23!) an hour north of Toledo, which as the guy from 5 states away in Nebraska knows and yet you don't, puts it an hour west...

    So as I ponder chippers you guys and gals get to answer all my annoying questions

    I realize we're talking apples & oranges, but all of my BMW's have gas returns. Pumps run constantly, especially in 3 series with double sump fuel tanks, and return helps cool the pump.

    Cat 3126 Diesel and other l6 industrial diesels

    Eaton 7 speed, Tom. It was the stiffest, tightest, most closely spaced truck tranny I've ever driven. Like flicks of the wrist more than actual lever shifting. I seemed to be the only guy in the company that could drive it because I figured out how to float it. Everyone else was mashing the...

    CTPA Meeting 1/19/17

    Any Buzzers planning on attending? I'll be there all day, lemme know. (Looking like an actual person, not in my Unabomber disguise.)

    Cat 3126 Diesel and other l6 industrial diesels

    I'm surprised at everyone's comments about them being slow and low powered. I used to run a '00 Freightliner FL70, 33k gvw with a 3126B and a 7 speed and loved it. I regularly towed a loaded 20 ton tag along, or one of our big chippers, all without any real issues. No speeding tickets, but...

    He's an LA? Wow, wouldn't have guessed that. I regularly work with LA's in my engineering job. How cool would that be to have him show up at a job? Fear not - Big Ten loyalty trumps everything in bowl games. I'll be cheering the Bucks on Saturday.

    I know WHAT they are, you big dummy! I just have no idea WHY I have them! People in this house have been shot under the charge of Treason for less than that.

    Always glad to help. Unpacked a box of crap today that I haven't been in for 20+ years. Found these. No idea, but I'm guessing they're from my Columbus days. Now just have to paint them maise & blue...
