Thought of the day .

[highup]

Hate to see him retire this way. I guess hess gonna be ok. Does John know he's 75?

 

[MSLI]

That’s probably the only way he’s gonna retire with out leaving this Earth. Is he ok ?

 

[highup]

I've been looking but don't know if he has any serious injuries. His daughter said he'll be ok.
The safety built into those cars is off the charts incredible.

Drag races went from 1/4 mile to 1000 feet because they were going faster and faster.
If you reduced the current power output by 5000 HP, then switched back to the original 1/4 mile, their speed would be the same as it is now at 100 feet.
For some reason, 10 or 12 thousand HP can destroy an engine.
....1250 to 1500 HP per cylinder.... Wow

Caught the back end of an NPR interview today with Jeff Nichol’s . Holy crap ! He summed up his movie like this, after standing in the middle of 40 throttled up vintage Harley Davidsons : The reality of how Powerful you feel and the False of it.
( I believe this movie is a tweaked books narrative, that demonstrates the sign of the times with our current culture today )

I was told he had an old style car, where the safety capsule protects the body, but not the legs. I've been told he broke one of his femur bones, but I guarantee that his next car will have the newly designed full body safety capsule. the opening in the wall is what caused most of the damage, since he hit on the leading edge. I hope they redesign those safety K rails to prevent this from happening again.

I drag raced locally many years ago. Even circled-tracked a couple times. Both are a young man's sport.

I'll have to check on that. Last I checked, they hadn't given out any real info. I didn't check last night.
They build their cars at Johns facility, so I'm surprised they wouldn't have had all the current safety designs. Legs are really nice to have.

Drag racers are people, too. Look at all the pissin n moanin we do over the proposed SawStop mandate. Fingers are nice to have.

Yeah, but non professional/homeowner racers are only required to have a proper battery hold down and don't have to wear helmets.
As a non pro, if I'm going 300 mph it's gonna be in an airplane with someone else driving.

Got clocked at 160 once and we were slowing down. 1968 Dodge 440.

Clearly I have some time on my hands but lucky for you I’m working on filling it up.

So I’m at the bar having a conversation about a females ass and I asked her if she could crush a tennis ball with her ass because she has a bionic ass. She says no but then insists that she can crack an egg with her ass. You know, just put the egg between her cheeks and squeeze. Now this I have to see this with my own eyes! Maybe one day I will but until then what say ye, is it possible.

Makita now has a cordless microwave.

Why?

 

[havasu]

Microwave a hot dog while working?

 

[C.J.]

I get the whole job site microwave thing but not for $700. Guys would buy used microwaves for $10 or $15 at a flea market. Sometimes they would just leave them on the job site when the job was done if the job was too far away because a new one was $10 to $15. I’ve even seen dudes that don’t have **** for tools and they will have a microwave in their truck Not me, I eat my lunch cold.

When I drove a forklift, our exhaust manifolds were our ovens before lunch. You'd be surprised at the awesome meals that were pulled off those engines at lunch. Lasagna was my favorite. It made my truck smell delicious!

 

[C.J.]

Makita people are different. Same thing for people that drive a Saab. Do they even make them anymore?
