    Septum rings are ugly

    according to my kids, the piercings indicate "proclivities" for certain activities. The tongue piercings especially. the nose rings can be a removable type, and is worn to raves to indicate desire to be involved in a certain activity. and no, I didn't ask - I don't want to know

    Envoy Air Flight 4066 Returns to CAE after take-off due to "flight control issues"

    Saw this in the news today and was wondering if anyone had any information on the apparent cause, besides the obvious mention of "flight controls"? https://www.wltx.com/article/news/local/cae-american-airlines-flight-reported-flight-control-issue/101-e036dd4f-9811-430d-b28f-2e4f9249fdcc

    Manual Transmission Calling for ATF. Why?

    Cold shifting in my manual was slower when it got colder. I went from recommended ATF+4 to MobilTrans SHC-DC and it worked fine, just shifted slower. I think the ATF+4 would have been fine to keep in the G56.

    Your new Refrigerator will not last as long as your old, Not a Chance, unless you do this.

    This is not as crazy as it sounds. I do this by first putting plastic drop cloth all around the front of the fridge, creating a "bag". then I insert a shop vac into the end of the bag, and blow out the coils. A lot less mess.

    Engine blew up in the shop.

    So, it is settled - the shop is absorbing the cost of the engine and it's been ordered. That is expensive for sure, but the best of the worst solutions. Sometimes, the best course of action (COA) is the one that has the least forseeable friction. Dave's auto just had the same thing but with...

    Engine blew up in the shop.

    I feel sure this has been resolved by now. Wonder what the outcome was?

    Lab grown vs natural diamonds

    "Natural" diamonds are called "blood diamonds" by my kids and their friends (mid 20's). They will only look at man-made diamonds. They want nothing to do with the industry that abuses workers and children for profit. It's just a perk for them that the diamonds are more flawless and less...

    Gasket maker or install OEM paper gaskets dry?

    When available, I substitue "rubber" gaskets in place of paper gaskets, or RTV. For example, on my transmission pan. I change fluids with a "drop and fill", so a reusable, non-sticking solution is easier. Same on differentials - Lube Locker type. Works great, but YMMV.

    Variable Frequency Well Pump Upgrade

    This particular case is a Franklin Electric VFD driving a 50HP chilled water pump (Nidec) at 20:1 on 1185 RPM, Class F insulation but rated for Class B temperature rise. I would be curious to find out what kind of harmonics your unit produces on the input and output side of the VFD.

    Variable Frequency Well Pump Upgrade

    There is a lot of information on the web regarding harmonics and VFDs. I would recommend looking into that BEFORE adding one to your home system. A soft-start, on the other hand, switches over to a contactor once full speed is achieved and has none of the side effects of a VFD. Another issue...

    Variable Frequency Well Pump Upgrade

    This is an example of one I did last week. The VFD is not controlled on the output side and is generating over 20% THD on the driven motor. The motor is overheating and on the edge of failure. Lifespan is cut in half due to heat rise in the windings. In this particular case, the input side...

    Will the Supertech MP4967 cross for the B&S 696854, provided you have the space for the extra length?

    Variable Frequency Well Pump Upgrade

    Better make sure your generator can handle the harmonics from the VFD. 3rd and 5th order harmonics will kill a generator at the worst possible time. Check with your genset manufacturer on what they recommend. I do power quality analysis and this is one of the things I look for.
