Sure is a lot of work for a burger . Where is the finished burger pic? It's like watching a car restoration show and not seeing how it turns out. 🙂

Have you tried green things roasted/sauteed and not steamed in any way? I thought I hated green things, then learned, not long ago, that it was just steaming that caused the awful flavor. This includes frozen veggies which are all par-boiled. Even just putting a lid on cooking green things causes enough steam for me to dislike them.
I don't get this; he said "mitigated" and never "an easy full fix." Eating plant based mitigated my joint pain and prevented surgery.
I have not put the effort in preparing and cooking greens you do and I can see with the right cooking and spices could make it better.
There may be a day I'll jump on the rabbit train but not today. As far as joint pain, weight plays huge part in it. Most of my life I lifted weights and was big but as I aged I started to have joint issues. My hips got to a point where it was hard to walk around in the store. In 2008 I decided I had to do something and lost 65 lbs., the the difference was amazing. Joint pains all gone.

Yes, you are correct, I phrased it wrong.

The top three killers in the US, plus one of the most dreaded, are mitigated - sometimes into statistically irrelevant ranges - on a plant-based diet.
While I fully agree that diet and exercise plays a major role, I disagree it is as simple as that. Hereditary also plays a major role as can be proved by super healthy people still getting cancer or passing of other causes. Speaker of quality of life, eating a total plant based diet would lower that for me to an unacceptable level as I dislike anything green. Note I didn't say I didn't eat them but it is by force of will. But who knows, Carlos used to known as the meat man here. 😀

Good thing it's only a brake rotor and not something important.
For sure. Junk bolts for holding on body panels or such, brakes, steering, etc., NO!

With stinky vehicles in the past I've found that just a few inches of exhaust extension can make a huge difference.
2 or 3 inches can also make a big difference in exhaust sound in the vehicle.

Looks great. Now I wonder if you will enjoy riding it? When I had a itch to buy a 72 CL-350 it was cool finding parts to make it look and function better but I hated riding it. So it sat until I sold it to a guy that already had like five of them.

People with diabetes are more susceptible to the buildup of cholesterol AND statistically more likely to have high cholesterol. Meta studies show a clear correlation between cardiac events in people with diabetes and heart issues who eat a lot of eggs.
Thanks, didn't know.

There's also very strong evidence that people with diabetes or heart conditions should not have more than 2-3 per week.
What is the connection between diabetes and eggs?
Eggs are a staple in my house but neither of us have a family history of heart issues.

This slips into place easily now. Amazing that it went from hard plastic back to squishy rubber. The other boot was half off and one side was compressed between the airbox and carb for god knows how long, that one's still a little tough in that area. Since the ends were being pressed toward each other that area probably got thicker. I could probably force it on, but I'll leave it in for another day to see what it does.
If you keep it, I'd be interested to see if it stays soft or rehardens.

The CBX guys swear by wintergreen oil. ...six boots....
You would think someone would reproduce those.

New aftermarket boots are about $60, the ingredients were almost $50.
It's something to keep in mind if you can't find replacement boots.

It would be funny it they made it out of meat.

Portion control was the answer from many people pushing various diets. I've never bought into it. And the evidence is more and more obvious that this is not the answer.
It doesn't work for me over the long run but may vary for different people. I'm a all or nothing type, haven't had a slice of bread since 2008.
You have to do what works for you meaning your body chemistry and mental workings.

I have direct burial cable going out to the garage that I hand dug a trench and covered up, no sand or boards about 38 years ago and the lights are still on. At this point in your life, easy may be the best.

My wife is watching Gotham Garage (Car Masters, rust to riches)
They built a Tesla withe a mega carb'd 383CID. They made a cheezy hole in the hood.... etcetera
They ran the drive-shaft inside the car instead of making a tunnel and running it outside. I'm pretty sure they are generally run outside for safety.
I've twisted a pinion off the rear end, a long time ago. You don'want a drive shaft flopping around in the interior of a automobile cabin.
....so, here are my questions.
1. What is the operating temperature of a universal joint operating under normal circumstances mounted outside? I think "barely warm to the touch?"
2. Would mounting them inside allow less cooling and make them heat up? (I don't think it would change much)
opinions?
That show sounds pretty lame. I tend to stick with Engine Masters, Roadkill Garage, Road Worthy Rescues, etc. I can enjoy some of the restoration shows on MotorTrend but the super high dollar builds don't fit into my reality.

It's pretty easy to lose weight on a meat diet but like said, it's not something you can live on full time. After getting to the weight you want, finding the balance to stay there but not hate life is the hard part.

MC cable straight into a receptacle. Sheesh
At least they got the colors right.
Tell me you never tried that? BTW-why are we talking about this in the 'site problem' thread?

I will say that AAA dispatch has been fucked up a few times, and some of their contractors are fucking 'tards, but it's usually good.
My neighbor work as a flat bed driver for AAA. Wouldn't want him touching my car.

Me either. There was one here about 30 years ago but no more.

I came real close to that a few weeks ago, had already placed the call to AAA.
I don't know why but I'm surprised you have AAA.
