For the wreckers.

And all farmers.

Why do you need a new light?
With pics!

Or it didn't happen

 

[ChairmanFester]

Have you ever smoked a pig that could speak joint though?

I did a whole pig overnight on charcoal one time, with a side fire to create coals. It was a bitch and I was bushed for the party but it was AWESOME!!!!
Around a $600 bill for a small pig roast probably. DO IT IT'S FUCKIN TITS!

All this on a 100w LED vivosun... so I'm barely making it and I want some real fatty bud!
Besides, I've gradually become less stupid and less reasonable, which is a personal journey.

Keeping it clásico today with Los Bravos



Wouldn't this fit in some Pulp Fiction kind of movie? Or perhaps some 1960s Hells Angels would have rocked this shit - probably not lol

 

[ChairmanFester]

That’s pretty funny considering that the exhaust on an outboard motor comes out under water.

No lol look at marine laws, it's straigh up all of a sudden "whatever" for emissions and shit lol.

THE DOPEST DOPE YOU EVER SMOKED!

hope everyone has an irie morning and that weed tastes extra nice today.

Im getting good at rolling these joints. No more stuffing cones at the speed of light for this guy lol

Do yall wake up and smoke right away or nah? I like to slowly come out of my coma with a cup of coffee while rolling a joint lol i never smoke it for at least an hour though haha

I wake up on a Saturday morning usually and get the coffee brewing, feed the pets and start cleaning up the house. I am inundated by cat hair at the moment and have a big job at hand this morning, but I need some fuel for the machine so bacon and eggs with wheat toast should do the trick. Ohh yeah and I catch up on the trainwreck before I start my chores. Then I shall smoke. But on a weekday I smoke a huge joint on the way to work everyday.

 

[ChairmanFester]

God you know nothing can stay normal. Get coffee this morning and find mom's husband being retarded with the child. Not just "oh he's old" with any excuse, legitimately dangerous after repeated warnings and just over the line. Intentionally criminally unsafe.
So he gets the boot and everyone gets to try to make up for the fall out.
At least the kid is oblivious. Of course we gotta deal with the fallout there too.
Fuck can't people be normal?

 

[MartyMcFly42oh]

I would top at 4th node (counting coty's). I wouldn't transplant until the rootball is developed enough to hold the soil together. That's just me tho, and it's been damn near a lifetime since I've grown in soil,

You said soil normally you can’t get it out without stustutstut. Stuttering

Morning Work on the plants, top dress for the ABO in the garden

2 cups craft blend
1/2 cup pushin p
1/2 cup kashi
1 tsp aloe
1 tap big 6

Watered in with the homemade FFJ then lower section defol’d and used as mulch on top

Video is wheel calibration of the PXN V99 each time you fire up the PC it recalibrates

 

[Mikedin]

Tic tacs

Nah when I saw the ones I saw I double verified with a always sober wife, and I was right shit was wild to watch haha

Watching Mike build PC's and set up the driving kit sure brings back some good memories.y gaming was 96 to about 2006 and by that time things had changed so much I no longer had interest

My game was the MechWarrior series starting with Activision and then moving around as it got sold.
My best setup was the Microsoft force feedback joystick and an extra comms board. The feedback never did work but I loved it for all the buttons.
The comms board came with a microphone and headset and a p2p screen where you could use voice coms on your connection. The only bad thing was the requirement to give out your IP for connection. It was a Kool system as you could map keys on the comms board and it would allow you to script messages by starting your string with the f5 key which in the game brought up that chat interface for your team and then run your message like " break right " or " good game " or " hold game score reached " or whatever you wanted to script.
So much of that game was overlooked by online players. If you used the hat for view to the left and right you could shoot the weapon in the respective arms. If you jumped over them below view would allow you to alpha strike the head ROFL
After about a couple of 100 hours playing on the FFB It was muscle memory and totally intuitive, which almost got me into the finals for the MW 3 meltdown for a Harley. My partner kept lagging out of the game and I was very good but 2 on 1 sucks at high levels.
My PC place was iBuyPower and of course tigerdirect. When I started a basic PC that would run the game was about $1200. By the time I was done I was buying liquid coolers due to over clocking and $800 video cards.

Docks are different. Emissions and shit go right out the window when it's marine because they hadn't thought about that being different. Probably wrote engine laws with the words "two or four wheels".

I used to live down the road from these guys, https://www.racecareng.com/on-site-services. I called them this morning with @Captspaulding in mind. Unfortunately they don't ship flammable's.


I have a Smokey racing/marine story that's pretty cool. It involves the legendary Smokey Yunick’s legendary garage in Daytona Beach, Florida — officially called “Smokey’s Best Damn Garage in Town.”
I met and delt with Smokey on a daily, very friendly basis, while utilizing his docks one summer to do utility work locating & marking under water cable crossings. He was a true genius and "monster among men" and prolly the smartest person I've ever talked to. He designed a fuel system that drove a car from Daytona Beach FL to Buffalo NY on 1 tank of gas. He loved to talk about everything from NASCAR to nincompoop's if you got him going.
His story is long so I'll break it up into chunks:

Background​

• Smokey Yunick (1923–2001) was a mechanic, engineer, and NASCAR crew chief.
• His shop in Daytona became a hub of innovation in stock car racing during the 1960s–1980s.
• He was known for pushing (and often bending) NASCAR’s rulebook, with clever mechanical tricks that gave his teams an edge.

In the 1970s–80s

• Smokey’s garage turned out legendary race cars, including Chevrolets and Pontiacs that challenged NASCAR’s top teams.
• He helped develop the Chevrolet small-block V8 into one of the most successful racing engines ever.
• Famously, he worked on the Chevelle and Monte Carlo NASCAR stock cars, and even dabbled in IndyCar projects.
• He was notorious for “gray area” engineering, such as:
  • Fuel lines that acted as hidden auxiliary tanks.
  • Aerodynamic tweaks that went unnoticed by inspectors.
  • Engines and chassis that exploited every loophole NASCAR left open.

Legacy

• Smokey’s shop was more than a garage — it was a cultural landmark for racers, tinkerers, and gearheads.
• Though the garage was demolished in the early 2000s, the name still lives on in racing lore.
• His memoir, Smokey Yunick’s Best Damn Garage in Town, is a sprawling three-volume history of both his life and racing in that era.

what about his later work doing r&d on mercury outboards?

Good eye — Smokey didn’t stop at race cars. In his later career (1980s–1990s), Yunick did quite a bit of R&D consulting for Mercury Marine on their high-performance outboards.

What He Worked On​

• Combustion efficiency & fuel economy: He applied many of his racing tricks to 2-stroke outboards, testing new port timing, scavenging, and ignition tweaks to squeeze more torque per cubic inch.
• Durability fixes: Smokey was obsessed with “fixing what breaks.” He worked on cooling layouts and piston/ring designs that could live longer at wide-open throttle (big deal for offshore racing boats).
• Experimental concepts: There are accounts of him trialing stratified charge and lean-burn ideas well before they became mainstream in marine engines.
  

Why Mercury Came to Him​

• Mercury Racing was fighting to keep a lead in offshore powerboat racing, where engines were punished harder than in NASCAR. Smokey had a reputation for thinking sideways—solving problems no one else was tackling.
• His shop in Daytona became a skunkworks for outboard prototypes, just like it had been for stock cars two decades earlier.

Legacy of that Work

• Some of Smokey’s input filtered into Mercury’s performance lines and endurance racing engines.
• He never lost his flair for telling engineers they were doing it wrong, but Mercury valued his “black-art combustion sense.”
• Those projects aren’t as famous as his NASCAR exploits, but they underline how versatile he was—cars, planes, boats, you name it.

Congratulations @Bilber enjoy your new light

Isn't this like the 5th one he's won? Who's running this give-a-way? Just kidding

I was too old for Atari. My kids got those consoles

I got pong and later punt/pass/kick in the handheld. That game pretty sure set my up for carpal tunnel. The pain stopped when I started doing heavy line and was using the muscles all day every day.

I've smoked many pigs, both wild and domestic.... Most expensive thing was usually the 1/2 keg of beer. Used to get domestic pigs for .50 lb on the hoof. The old boy that raised them had bad Parkinson's, so you had to shoot them yourself... good times

Pig stories I am in.
Our Family in the 70's was 4 kids and 2 adults. If you wanna have meat on a factory workers salary you buy sides of beef and a whole hog. With the hog the only thing not used was the kidneys as that just resulted in the house smelling like piss and a pizza run to little Caesars.
Mom always made spaghetti with the head. The skull was in 2 pieces and no brain. She would boil it and strip it down and put the meat in the red sauce.
So fast forward to 1992. Bike party in Holland Ohio but that's redundant in the 1990s I borrowed a Sportster cause it's not the kind of party where you take a rice. I did not know the group but my brother vouched. So let's go.
We got there late and the party was in full swing. I set up a little area with chairs and my brother goes to the food line. Came back and said " pig is gone ". Awww man. Then he looks at me and says. They cooked the skull but no one has touched it.
Well let's just go touch that thing.
FYI the cheeks of a pig is the same as the money muscle in the shoulder. It's the size of a pork chop and the surrounding face is dark meat that has pretty much stewed in rendered pork fat for 18 hours.

So we dig the head out of the ashes and of course sacrifice a beer ticket to the pig god and rinsed it down.

Then imagine 2 big fuckin dudes hunched over a pig head ripping strips off with a punch dagger and shoving into ham hole. This was way before TWD so it brought looks and laughs aplenty.

One of the group that set this up dropped a roll of drink tickets on the pigs head and walked off laughing.
Good times.

You never been to a pig roast until you go to one out in okeechobee and they are roasting a wild pig.

Growing up in Connecticut and thinking I knew what a redneck was before this day. Boy was I wrong lmao
