Mac peeps...
Check this out.
Cool Mac Hacking
Basically it will create a stack of recently used applications on your dock. I think this is very cool and think it's pretty useful.

Yeah good luck Leo and Brian. I want to see pictures and time slips.
Tom 281, I've got a question if you see this. I've got my new motor mounts machined down. I knew a guy that knew a guy and they took 1/2" off of them. They also retapped the bolt hole and extended the threads down further. My question is did you use the bolt that came with them when you installed your cut down mounts. Did the bolt bottom out? Did you have to get another, shorter, bolt?

ah, hahhahahaa
nice usage of the whip smilie too, that's bonus points+1, good luck guys. Brain don't forget your alarm clock for when Leo crosses the finish line (sorry Leo, but I'm still cracking up at that comment from earlier this week)

I've get it Tom. The engineer who actually did this suggested using a spacer. He said that a bolt acts like a spring and the longer the bolt the more strength it has. So using a spacer would actually be optimal. He also just told me to get a grade 8 bolt, whatever that is. We have a specialty bolt supply store here so I'll go there to get it instead of lowes. And when I do I'll get a 1/2" sleeve to use as a spacer, and standard hex head bolt instead of these allen head bolts. Thanks for the response Tom.

That's the strength of the bolt. Grade 5 would be weaker in tensile strength.
A grade 8 bolt will have 6 raised marks on the head of the bolt.
In metric, an 8.8 bolt is equal in strength to a Grade 5 SAE bolt.
10.9 = Grade 8.
12.9 is even stronger.
Metric bolts will have 8.8, 10.9, or 12.9 marked right on the head.
