@DucatiKiller @BobCross - I had my followup with the doc today. He said everything looks pretty normal. Nothing bad from the colonoscopy either ... so, just time & healing from the surgery and I should be good to go.
Proctologist is sick of his job, and decides to branch out and study auto mechanics as his first young love. He's not great with tools and technique, but struggles with good intentions up to the practical final exam, which is merely changing out spark plugs on a modern V8. He was quite dismayed when getting his final grade on his repair report, which was an "F" crossed out and then an "A", with a message from the professor simply stating "come see me in my office."
Flustered, he visits the professor, who tells him "You didn't replace one of the old spark plugs, four were no torqued correctly, and two didn't have the coils seated properly. By all rights you should have failed. But after consideration, I gave you an "A" grade, because you performed the entire repair procedure through the tailpipe" ...
I've lost two jobs to the "Celtic Tiger", long after the tiger necrodestinated. It's not about what you know. It's the economy, stupid. "stupid" being those who haven't been told by those who control the "economy" whorehouse.
Still, I have some really nice Participation Awards.
It's the best I can do for now. No joke perceived. I should have been a Major League Baseball player -- minimum union wage is upwards of $440K. the only thing I lacked was skill and interest.
The above is a pic of an edit which was done by "Community" ... I've been told since I got here that "Community" is something which occurs automagically within the confines of the SE system and is completely automated. I'm not seeing automation in the above edit. Any ideas? This needed to be rejected at any account, even if it was by community. Very poor attempt at communicating with the Answer writer. Just poor all around.
It bothers me that all of the "nomenclature" for Community says it's automated and yet we stuff like this ... and don't "ask" me why it bothers me ... it just does. Kind of a Wizard of Oz kinda thing ... who is the man behind the curtain?
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 risking going off topic here, but I always start spraying a day ahead of time when the exhaust bolts are cold, then again when they are hot, then again when they are cold. The heat cycling allows the 'shiznitz' to seep in and get down to bidniz. — MooseLucifer44 secs ago
@SteveRacer - I wasn't trying to beat up on your M/W injection answer ... it seems you are very conversant in the tech. You are very passionate about it. My point is, you are leaving a lot of the positive reasons for it on the table. I would have put a lot of the same points you put into your answer into one of my own. No sense trying to steal your thunder ... you're doing a great job! Just trying to help you write a more complete answer, is all.
I just noticed that my suggested edits on meta are quickly approved by Community♦, sometimes almost instantaneously.
As a guess: does this have anything to do with the fact that I have edit privileges on the main site?
I built the original site about 6-7 years ago as a school project. Been keeping the payments up on keeping the site active so I can use it as a photo repository, lol.
I've worked this in Dreamweaver. I'll probably have to go back and redo it because of making it as a template. I like the idea of a template, but it makes some things more difficult.
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 I posted that answer half-complete, as it was lengthy and my laptop battery was dying. I didn't want to lose what I started. There was substantially more to my answer an hour later.
I think I misspoke a little under dlu's answer ... I meant to say what he had written was a great addition to what you'd said, not that your answer was wrong to any degree at all.
@Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2 Fair enough. dlu's was certainly better than mine as cliff notes. The only thing was I felt that answer really missed the mark, because it stressed gains in "enthusiasm" from water vapor pressure, and didn't hit the key note, which is reduction of hot spots and the ability to increase effective compression/timing advance.
Yes, I forgot that too. I think it helps with soot somehow. Bad news is that methanol is corrosive to, well, everything. I forgot to mention that also. I should probably go back, trim a few [dozen] extra pounds, and make sure I cover some of the finer details (cleaning, corrosiveness, steam pressure)
