The SilencerCo video sounds promising. Will wait on the legal eagles to chime in.
Hope it applies to "future" PSA purchases as well.

Water weighs 8#/gallon baw. Add that to the weight of the tub and you got your number.
It's hot as a two dick rooster.
Spent half the day installing a gable fan in my shop yesterday to cool it off in there some.

I had a very large pool at my last place. In July and August it would damn near be unbearable due to no shade. I made a "wand" that would screw into one of the pump recirc outlets and lie even with the surface of the water.
It was in the shape of a "T" and made of 1 1/2" PVC. I drilled a 1/8" hole every inch or so from where it "T'd" off to the end cap on both ends (it was about 6 ft long). This would spray water into the air about 6 ft or so. I ran my pump exclusively at night to the cooler night air would cool the water as it sprayed.
It was amazing how much it cooled the water off. Easily 10 degrees or so. I had to control the volumn of water by partially closing a valve on my pump system to keep it from shooting water all the way out of the pool.
Took a little playing with to get it right but it worked great.

I'm the opposite. We bought our place last year about this time. I notice one when walking the land (eaten pine combs under a big pine). Didn't see one for several months despite putting out feed and bird feeders.
Now, I can't drive to the mailbox without seeing 4 or 5 of the little bastards.

Y'all know if it's even close KDB will give it to Mack right? Dude followed him all the way across the country and has been loyal.

C'mon guys, you slacking............. :rolltide: :rolltide:
You're absolutly missing out. The Prime races feel like the good ole days, plus and y'all correct me if I'm wrong but they seem to have less commercials.
Absolutely agree with EVERYTHING Hocevar said, he's spot on. Kudos to him for speaking the truth.
As many on here have said, fix the damn product on the track before you worry about racing in a foreign country. There is such a thing as spreading resources (not just referring to $$$) too thin.
No matter how many fans they may gain by one race a year in Bumfrickistan, that's not going to make up for the droves of hardcore legacy fans that are tuning out because the races and the production are getting horrible.
Glad to see RFK hang on to Preece. RFK has slowly but surely increased their team performance. All 3 cars are consistently running better every week.
As for the 33 car, it's obvious that RCR has major problems. Even Rowdy couldn't produce a consistent performance. They have major issues and nepotism has finally caught up with them.

I'm going to try some fall peas/beans for the first time.
Due to being partially shaded, my tomatoes, cukes are still putting out and mhy peppers are finally recovering from all the rain we got in May that nearly killed them.

Getting to the mountain top isn't the hard part. Staying there is.
Plus, Indiana's schedule is an absolute joke.

What kind of speed does Morgan have?
I know he can't run like Julio did but neither can most anybody else.

I've always thought Bowman was overrated. HMS has a tentancy of trying to strike gold like they did with Gordan. Young, good looking kid they hope to mold into a race car driver.
And, by the way Chase is right about his comments on the NASCAR broadcasts. NASCAR, for many years now thinks their core viewer is a casual and not a hard core fan. They've molded their broadcasts in this manner.

Talladega on a packed April race weekend
THIS. Dega is a must for any race fan. That place was so much fun back in the late 90's. 43 cars coming at you so damn fast you can't see the number on the side of car. Man that was fun.
And, I'll add doing the ride along experience at Dega. 185mph down the straights with a 6 story wall of asphalt staring you in the face. I was thinking "there's no fricking way this car is about to turn left at this speed." Compounding it was the driver is driving along with one hand on the wheel talking to you like you're at the Dairy Queen drive through.
Is absolutely mind boggling how fast Elon has developed this program.
Heard both Jr and Denny both comment on this yesterday and both think it will make the racing better. The lower spoiler will reduce the "pocket" of air behind the car. They both said it "should" facilitate a more Atlanta like race.
Also not a fan of reducing HP. They also both said this should go a long way towards addressing the fuel mileage BS on a superspeedway. Because the cars will have a better ability to pass on their own drivers will beciome more aggressive.
We will see if these changes help. I do however applaud NASCAR for at least trying to fix the problem. Especialy such an aggressive move in the middle of the season. At least they are hearing us.

An inconvenient truth for the UFC fanbois.
But it's still the truth.
