Repair-It

Don't have time for a full post, but I installed the flex pipe. The OEM Y-pipe has quite thick walls. S7302405.JPG The flex pipe was quite shot. S7302404.JPG Fitting it up. I cut the cat side of the Y-pipe three times total. The engine side I just cut flush with the weld on the old flex pipe. S73024...

Done yet?

I measured the Y-pipe on the car using a ziptie. I wrapped the ziptie around the pipe, then marked with a sharpie where it started to overlap (circumference measurement). That came out to about 6-3/16. Divide by Pi and that comes out to about a 1.97" outer diameter. Which is why I ordered a 2&q...

New 2" flex pipe and band clamps. One thing I am concerned about is the Y-pipe is not perfectly round. It has a weird hump on part of the circumference. So I may have to use some heat in combination with my pipe expander and a BFH. This flex pipe has to slip over that pipe. WP_001044.jpg I also...

I could have posted this in Energy I suppose. I've had a torchiere halogen lamp since at least high school, and it moved to college, to my two apartments, and how it's been in my house for 6+ years. It originally accepted the 300W halogen bulbs, though I had switched to the 150W years ago since 300W...

This is kind of weak because I have no pics. But my mother-in-law wanted to upgrade from a phone taking a miniSIM to a phone taking a microSIM. Except I didn't realize the phone I recommended took a microSIM until we got home and I tried to put her SIM in it. There are directions all over the place ...

And that inverter was connected to my car. Yup. Back during Blizzard Nemo (2013), we lost power for 48 hours. Which wasn't too bad, but it was cold as hell. What's fun about this setup is I was toying with the idea for years (and most seriously in the October 2012 time frame) and before the blizzard...

This just reminded me there is so much good e-mail content floating around. Here's one that I really enjoyed:
