I towed the donor Cherokee that I pulled the motor from to Adams Steel and it weighed in at just over 2K without the driveline. I was thinking yesterday that I should have tried to squat the front end and taken a picture, haha.

The getting hurt aspect did cross my mind. What if I do lift it and mess up a joint... or, what if I drop it on myself. Haha

I used to have these double decker jet skiis. The upper one lowered with a winch. Anyways, I had to shoulder press the upper one (550lbs) so my brother could pull the compartment out of the lower one... I did it, but my shoulder was messed up for 2 months after that.

[fiveohwblow]

I couldn't lift 55 pounds to save my life let alone shoulder press 550. You guys are strong!

Ill bet so. I can shoulder press 100 lb dumbbells about 8 times right now. In 2008 I could do 275 on the Smith machine 5 or 6 times.

So Ill bet a bodybuilder could. Arnold bench pressed about 520 at his peak. And there are guys a lot bigger than him, with a shorter reach.

Yeah, I'm up to around 12-13%. Gotta eat to bulk quickIIy. I do seated presses for 8 not 10
i need a lift up to get the weight there because of my shoulder but I can do the presses. Still hurts though.

[Shaolin Crane]

Damn son, whats your bench rep?

[Shaolin Crane]

I'm not doing bench anymore. I fucked it up at 225, I'm sticking to free weights. I can do 8 reps of the 90's.
lat pull down is 225, seated cable row is 225, dead lift, 3 plates. 4 Plates on a short rep, 85's on incline.

Maybe not that much, popcorn is about $100, drinks have to be around $50, then a blood sample for candy, so it starts to add up.

[enkeivette]

The alcohol is the only thing that's overpriced. $12 for mixed drinks.

A small / medium pizza that we split was $14, sodas were $3, popcorn is free. Tickets start at $19, or $30 for VIP tickets.

It's not the kind of thing I'd do on a regular basis, but it was a cool date.

[enkeivette]

Funny story, the soda was watered down. So I asked the cunt waitress to fix it. She doesn't bring us new sodas until 20 mins after our pizza was gone, I taste it, and it still was watered down. So I tell her, and she gives me attitude. She says 'what do you want me to do? I can bring you water instead, is that what you want?' I say, 'no it's ok.'

Um... how about offering us a different kind of soda you fuckin ho-bag? Ha. 2 mins later she brings out two waters anyways. So I push the sodas aside, and we drink the waters. She then had the fucking audacity to bring me the bill with the sodas on it. Ha! I made her take them off, and THAT is what caused her to lose her tip. I was still planning to tip her until that point.

[Shaolin Crane]

Throw the soda, and give her the tip to Bob and weave. Life long

[enkeivette]

On that note, AMERICANS, tip on service. Not on the bill. First of all we are the only people who feel that a tip is required, it's not like that in other countries.

Second, if you order $40 worth of steak and lobster over a $12 hamburger, your waitress didn't do anything to deserve a larger tip. Especially when she has a food runner bring you the entrees.

Third, I've been a waiter at 2 restaurants now. They go home with a few hundred dollars in cash on the weekends... AND THEN THEY GET THEIR PAYCHECKS. Don't feel bad for them, they make good money for what they do.

If they suck, that needs to be reflected in the tip. I will tip anywhere from 35% - nothing, good service, cheap meal deserves a larger tip. Expensive meal, poor service, deserves nothing. Remember that.

If you travel you should check local customs. It varies. There is no tipping for anything in Japan, but most places that I'm aware of throughout Europe have some tipping for bellhops, taxis, and even food. Just check so you don't end up being the ugly American.

I agree. I 100% will leave 10$ on a 20$ meal if the service is great and then i might leave .01$ if the service sucked. I have gotten the most hateful looks from servers who have seen me leave .01 as a tip on my credit card. And I tell them if the service was better then i would of tipped better

[Shaolin Crane]

I'm the samr way, covina has a lot of mom and pop eaters with great food that are cheap. We're talk in full meals for 7-15 for two people. 20% tip would only be sometimes pocket change I'll gladly leave the cost of the bill because the service is bitchen.

[Vettezuki]

I don't know about China, but in Japan, they simply won't accept it and generally assume you made a mistake, or that you just don't know the custom; silly gaijin. I had a friend who once was once chased by a cabby to give him his change back. :jester:

I use to go to golden dragon festivals in china town and would wear my jacket with My shaolin kung fu *kanji* and they would inquire about me being Sifu. Many times restaurants would not charge me at all or flat out refuse a tip. Maybe just a respect for kung fu traditions.

[Shaolin Crane]

We've been down this road before, the LS is more similar to a SBF than a SBC is. A ford balancer has the weights on the inner portion of the balancer. So removing the weight at the elastomter would still have the weight in the same sport.

[enkeivette]

Its a chunk of steel, it is a big weight. Removing the ring gets rid of the outer weight, SBF or SBC.

Moreover, the point of a harmonic dampener is to have weight past the isolating rubber. To absorb. Therefore it must have weight past the rubber ring.

OK so it turns it into a non harmonic balancer. There still weight towards the center portion of the weigh under the isolator. So it still wouldn't be a neutral balance, look close and see. I could remove it and it would still be off balance

Kevin and Bean used to have a radio segment called "Florida or Germany" where they would read some bizarre story and the listener would have to guess where it happened.

We've got to hold some kind of record for lurkers, but in any event, we're not going anywhere barring Armageddon.

I can say though, with a reasonable degree of confidence that other than a few core big sites that have been around since the 90s (LS1Tech) many sites are much lower trafficked than they were previous to the economic downturn. Also, while I'm a red blooded capitalist pig for sure, the amount of advertising on many sites is just in the gaudy/annoying range.

It's Guy, he tied his arm to the bumper of a truck, then had someone kick him in the balls as someone else punched him in the face and the driver punched the gas!

About right. I stepped on my palm to pull it straight then used my body weight to force it back in, then used a doorjamb to finish it.

Good news is I can finally move my arm, sore as fuck, might have to get surgery this time. :(

That's crazy! The only thing I've ever dislocated was my finger playing basketball. I just grabbed it and pulled it out and it went back in place. It hurt more relocating it than it did when it happened. I couldn't imagine how much yours must hurt.

This has happened a few dozen times so i've gotten pretty good at getting it back in. This time the joint slipped into my lat so it was pretty difficult to get it back in place. I may have torn or compressed my axillary nerve cause the pain has not gone away this time.

[enkeivette]

German/Italian.

Me too. Im 25 northern Italian 25 southern. Youre 50 southern Im guessing?

My original shoulder inury happened in 7th grade playing football. Walking back after a play was over I got hit from behind and it broke, 1 year till I could move it again.

[Shaolin Crane]

Definitely think I stretched my axillaryy nerve. If I press the surface of my deltoid/pec I can lift my arm but not flex my deltoid and the pain subsides. Might not need surgery afterall, we'll see what the MRI says in 2 weeks.

Woke up this morning after some extreme pain last night, with no pain, and no sling, must have taken it off in my sleep. Full range of motion, little soreness but it feels good. We'll see how the next week goes.

Yup. All over that. I have everything now, well maybe. Might go with link bar lifters, not sure they're needed though, I only spin that engine to 6200.

My flywheel just showed up. Not sure why RPM got the bad rap for these, $100 neutral balance SFI billet steel with hardware. Works for me. Who cares if they're not OE thread and dowel size, they're included.

Since I can't lift i've been doing legs and I am happy to say I finally did one plate on squats. For those that know about my previous knee injury know how much of an accomplishment that is. And i'm talking a full squat, hamstrings touching my calves, elbows past the knees, ass to the grass. Happy.

I thought the full squat puts entirely unnecessary strain on the knee?

[Shaolin Crane]

I thought the full squat puts entirely unnecessary strain on the knee?

Yup. Every leg exercise puts unnecessary strain on the knee, retractions, extensions, save for adduction movements. All bad for the knee, but I have been doing a crazy amount of straight leg work to allow my legs the strength to do squats without my knees being torn apart. However, it's needed since I can't do much else, and I need to up my strength on shooting and other take downs.

[Vettezuki]

My point is relative to say just short of a half squat. The motion still gives the muscle stress, but doesn't put anywhere near the same strain across the knee as a full squat.

[Shaolin Crane]

My point is relative to say just short of a half squat. The motion still gives the muscle stress, but doesn't put anywhere near the same strain across the knee as a full squat.

And doesn't build the muscle properly.

[enkeivette]

Full range of motion is best to build the muscle, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to save your joints.

[Shaolin Crane]

I'm at the point now where I need to go full range to build them better then they are now. They've actually pretty good, just gotta focus on my form while running.

Drill out the head so you can pull the weight off then use vive grips to unscrew the rest of the bolt.

[Shaolin Crane]

the bolts are fine, they're aircraft grade. Those aren't going to drill out, just need to keep going regardless of how many break. These you remove the 4 front holding the shield on the balancer, then you can get to the 8 bolts behind it that hold on the weight.
