I always listen to you Lee.


Now what the f*** were you saying?










What's the deal with all the cat posters lately?
If I didn't know any better I'd think you were 20 and living at home with your parents, your best friend a cat, and a jar of peanut butter under your bed.

I don't know, I just find some of them amusing and I'm getting too lazy to think of a witty reply to type.

Coalition President did his duty today. Freakin eco-lovin' dimwit in a prius (with all the stupid stickers on back) was sitting next to me at the light, on his phone (of course), gave me a glare when I came up next to him, we rounded the corner, I sat right next to him in mighty 4500 rpm noise and just smiled. Until I sped right on around him when the road went to one lane.

Yeah if closed loop is at 180 then it should have a 190 in it. Thermostats are not an on/off switch, they open slowly and close slowly so you need the 190 to get the truck above the 180 threshold.

ummm....what Lee said below.

I told you this when you first got it, but nobody ever listens to me.



Here, I'll repost what I told you before.....

After that I would change the hose and put a thermostat in it ( you guys can do that easily on that truck). Also, that truck should have a clutch fan on it. Make sure it is ok. With that many miles it could be bad. Look around the center of the clutch around the bearing seal and see if fluid has leaked out of it (run your finger around it and look for a thick black goo), and when the truck is completely cold, try to spin the fan by hand. There should be resistance, if you can spin it freely (a hard spin and it keeps on rotating 4 or 5 revolutions) the clutch is bad. They're probably about 25 bucks at Autozone.

Yeah, but like I said just be careful and go easy. You don't wana put a hole in it, use high pressure just under a full streem to blast the stuff out. And go at it from the back pushing it out the front.

It's not definate yet. The droid has the same security built into its processor but it's not being used, but yet on it's clone, the Milestone, it is.

Once it gets into the right hand we will find out. If I make the switch, I will wait until it's rooted. I have games I play that have unlimited levels. I need a rooted phone to be able to backup and restore the games and data. With an unrooted phone i'll have to start from the beginning again!

I have never gotten into doing that kind of stuff so it won't bother me one bit.

I do it mostly for the speed. I can clock it faster than the Droid X.

Ya, I saw the article on droid life right after I posted that.

Wonder how fast they can clock the X though.

Going to the twins game tonight I guess. Nothing better to do. If only it was at the metrodome instead of target field.

The Droid is a 600 meg processor underclocked to 550. Overclock kernels go to about 1.25 gig. Some people can go high, some people can't. All Droids are not created equal. Based on that, I'm sure the X could be doubled. Now that would be quick!

Well Verizon just updated their site. It says that Droid X phones bought now will ship by 7/23/10. Sooooo who knows where I'm in line and when I will get mine.

You should have gotten a ship confirmation in an email with the tracking number if it shipped.

Yeah, but last week when I ordered my BT kit from Verizon it was after 10pm when I got my e-mail. So there is still hope.

You should be okay. I got my Droid the first day and went to the Verizon kiosk in BJ's. No lines there and plenty available. I just had to deal with the stupid rebate, which got lost and I had to resend everything again.
