02:52 PM CaptHindsight[m]: xxcodery: "leak testing.. Do you see the issue?"
03:01 PM xxcodery: one of umm doors is leaking warer?
03:01 PM xxcodery: that parts bit confusing, or maybe its just because I woke up minutes ago
03:05 PM pere: xxcodery: "one of umm doors is leaking warer?" is very confusing. I am unable to parse it.
03:06 PM xxcodery: water
03:06 PM xxcodery: I literally meant it. not sure how I can explain it more clearly
03:13 PM CaptHindsight[m]: of umm = of them (or similar)
03:13 PM CaptHindsight[m]: like Momenems
03:14 PM CaptHindsight[m]: Mom en ems down by the store were chattin
03:21 PM pere: it seem to me like you are using a language that is somewhat close to English.
03:33 PM xxcodery: pere
03:33 PM xxcodery: “The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”
03:33 PM xxcodery: ― James D. Nicoll
03:34 PM xxcodery: no such thing as "somewhat close to english"
03:35 PM roycroft: there was this little incident in 1066 that altered the "purity" of the anglo-saxon language forever
03:36 PM xxcodery: certain poet?
03:38 PM roycroft: no, the normans invaded england
03:39 PM xxcodery: ahh ok
03:39 PM CaptHindsight[m]: that is the fun of uhmerica, lotsa dialects
03:39 PM roycroft: and other than in the northeast and the south, everyone claims to have no regional dialect
03:48 PM CaptHindsight[m]: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mominem
03:48 PM CaptHindsight[m]: How's your momimem?
03:51 PM CaptHindsight[m]: for even more fun, look at the English they teach in places like China
04:20 PM pere: xxcodery: well, I would have to yield to experts on cribhouse whores on the topic, as I have no knowledge whatsoever in that area. :)
04:20 PM perry_j1987: got my new rotary encoder just now
04:21 PM xxcodery: lol
04:21 PM perry_j1987: now to head out to shop and get it installed

04:28 PM WolframMalukker9: It isn't closed-I just don't feel like copying a PCI card.
04:57 PM roycroft: the deluge arrives here on friday, with the attendant drop in temperature to more seasonable norms
05:03 PM roycroft: and i'm done with work for the day
05:03 PM roycroft: i can go install my other running board now
05:04 PM roycroft: i picked up my tailgate today and already installed it, so after the running board the exterior items that i need to do on the pickup will be done, before the rainy season begins
05:05 PM xxcodery: great
05:05 PM roycroft: i have a lot of other outdoor chores to do, but they're mostly lawn and garden tasks, which i can mostly do in the rain
05:09 PM JT-Shop2: rear shocks are out... next up upper a frames
05:11 PM Tom_L: having a fun day under the vette?
05:13 PM JT-Shop2: yep
05:13 PM roycroft: if i had a shop with a lift i would not mind working on vehicles
05:13 PM JT-Shop2: I have a feeling this will take a while to do
05:13 PM roycroft: but i have a driveway
05:14 PM roycroft: so i do mind
05:14 PM roycroft: which is why i have a mechanic do most of the work for me these days
05:14 PM * JT-Shop2 would like a lift... but jack stands have to do
05:14 PM roycroft: even jack stands in a shop with a roof would make the jobs more tolerable
05:14 PM Tom_L: at least you're not out under a shade tree...
05:14 PM JT-Shop2: I would gladly pay someone to do this but the nearest shop is in KC
05:14 PM Tom_L: getting a bit chilly out
05:14 PM JT-Shop2: been there done that and paid those dues
05:15 PM Tom_L: we're not closer than KC?
05:15 PM JT-Shop2: KC is the closest corvette shop I've seen on the web
05:15 PM Tom_L: non dealer..
05:15 PM JT-Shop2: nobody will work on the 6 speed here
05:16 PM JT-Shop2: no just a corvette repair and restore shop
05:16 PM Tom_L: i'd swear there was a group here.. but i've never checked since i don't own one
05:17 PM roycroft: check craigslist
05:17 PM roycroft: i'm sure there are people there who say they are corvette mechanics :)
05:17 PM JT-Shop2: http://www.corvettevillage.com/
05:18 PM JT-Shop2: yep, I know only one and he only works on his corvettes
05:18 PM Tom_L: http://www.aircapitalcorvetteclub.com/
05:19 PM Tom_L: several clubs here

05:19 PM JT-Shop2: http://route66corvetteclub.com/
05:20 PM Tom_L: https://www.southwindscorvetteclub.com/
05:22 PM Tom_L: anyway... sounds like you're halfway there already
05:22 PM JT-Shop2: not even close lol
05:22 PM Tom_L: sure... you drove it inside the shop :)
05:22 PM CaptHindsight[m]: https://highgeartransmission.com/
05:23 PM JT-Shop2: wish I knew about that before I started
05:24 PM Tom_L: hook the shocks back up...
05:25 PM CaptHindsight[m]: is it a t-56?
05:25 PM JT-Shop2: MM6
05:26 PM JT-Shop2: the C5 transmission is bolted to the differential in the back of the car
05:27 PM CaptHindsight[m]: yeah ask the club people
05:28 PM CaptHindsight[m]: I found the High Gear place through forums
05:28 PM CaptHindsight[m]: put it on a pallet and send it out
05:28 PM JT-Shop2: once I have the rear cover of the transmission I can fix it easy
05:29 PM JT-Shop2: the hard part is getting to the rear transmission cover...
05:36 PM CaptHindsight[m]: as a teen I recall swapping transmissions in the snow of the street and waiting for it to be >10F so I would not need as many warm up breaks
05:43 PM JT-Shop2: as a teen I had a small shed to work on the family snow machine and my motorcycle even if it was 20 below
05:44 PM JT-Shop2: that would be in Alaska...
05:46 PM * JT-Shop2 calls it a day
06:08 PM CaptHindsight[m]: you had a shed! :)
06:11 PM xxcodery: CaptainHindsight so wehat is happening with that picture? im still wondering lol
06:14 PM CaptHindsight[m]: pretty sure he found the leak
06:18 PM xxcodery: I guess but im still confused with leak from door
06:18 PM xxcodery: what looks like door anyway
06:26 PM roycroft: running boards are done
06:26 PM roycroft: i have about an hour of tidying up to do in the yard before the rain, so i should be in good shape
08:41 PM CaptHindsight[m]: roycroft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=666OKm08fRA 50 years later, still the same
08:46 PM roycroft: i'm voting silly
08:48 PM * roycroft assumes that's what the link is
08:48 PM roycroft: i just can't buy into the slightly silly platform
08:48 PM roycroft: and sensible are right out
08:56 PM CaptHindsight[m]: roycroft: there a guy running for gov here that just acting like a complete ass hat just to be obnoxious, but he has the full support of the police union
08:57 PM CaptHindsight[m]: it's juvenile, like watching the sex pistols just act up to get a rise out of people https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XGe_hncsiM
