Stop in for a cup of coffee

Good Morning folks, another triple digit day and tidal marsh inspections. Promises to be a hot muggy and down right miserable day for this guy! But:

Psalm 118:24 (NAS): 24 This is the day which the Lord has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Or at least try to. Have a great day folks!
 
Looks good Keefer!
Or I could just sit here and replay the morning traffic report a few times :p LOL

Speaking of decks... Why are people so stupid? News showed this collapse near DC. Looks like its on 6x6s at least. But 100 people injured ? :wtf::BangHead: Maybe some were under it, but assuming most of them were on it. I guess that's why new standards require bolts and nuts through the house boards and not just lagged in.

Question for all you smart people out there......How to calculate the compression ratio of an engine that is complete? I know compression test gives you psi, but what about the overall ratio?
 
So you are NOT going to Carlisle? Or you are?
Maybe, Maybe Not. Maybe, Maybe Not.

I'm waiting on a single signature from a CSM in my unit to confirm. He's had the request for about a month now. He's kind of playing games with it, trying to use it as a bargining chip to get me to reenlist...

I've never tried it, but I've always been told you divide the compression test PSI by 10 to get your ratio...

DONT re-up!!!

Not planning on it. I'm using it as leverage in negotiations anyway. They are hurting bad numbers wise across the board and I am literally the only one in my MOS that is qualified. Losing me, actually cripples them because of the type of unit they are, they can't pull anyone into it. Only get in by soldier request only.

Air pressure is 14.7 psi at sea level. Therefore, you divide the total measured pressure by 14.7 to get the absolute compression ratio.

147 psi would equal 10.1 compression ratio.

On sort the same subject, of being smart, how accurate is an IQ test online? I took one yesterday, 131 IQ. Was timed and looked legit.

Take it from someone who has been around for a long time.
No one is indispensable, no one.
I once thought that I could never be replaced.
That did not hold water.

They can be reasonable but often aren’t as accurate as a true IQ test which is conducted using many more tests such as spacial relations and pattern recognition components. I have never seen a good on line one that includes those things. The on line ones are usually just knowledge based and that is only part of a true IQ test.

The test I took had spacial relations and pattern recognition on it.

Oh I know. I'm just repeating what they're trying to sell me on :rofl:

I see a lot of them online that are not only just knowledge based, but limited to one subject. My understanding of IQ is that it’s more about concepts than specifics about people, history, etc

Boss said i could have the day off. So i got drunk the night before. Phone rings the next morning,boss wants me at work.
I said no, i’m hungover. He replies you’re not indispensable...
I replied “imagine that” go ahead and replace me.
Three years, no raise. Im not being pushed around. When i did finally quit, he hired two people.
Go figure.
 
First appt. no show.
Powerstroke waiting outside for egr temp sensor. So i pull it in.
