  1. This person is the best qualified to give your daughter, as a beginning drummer, a few sage words of advice. This should be required viewing . The best part is about taking the sticks away for a week. http://go.ted.com/3TF9bw
  2. That has been my personal experience with Jim as well. Well said BSM. Travis
  3. "In his inimitable fashion he offered us the complete definition below: THE EXACT DEFINITION OF THE KLIPSCH LOGO The logo of Klipsch & Associates, Incorporated features a corner loudspeaker. The principle involved is that all speakers work better in a corner, regardless of the basic speaker design. The logo depicts a loudspeaker emitting sound waves. These radiates as circular wave fronts, which in a corner environment would be quadrants of circles. The choice of seven for the number of wave fronts was prompted by the passage in the Bible referring to the seven good years followed by the seven lean years. Also in the Old Testament was the use of seven golden candlesticks in the tabernacle. Seven seems to have been a good choice to illustrate sound radiating from a loudspeaker. More would be too complicated, fewer would be too simplistic. As a logo it has withstood the test of time. I recall the “logo” of the Packard radiator shape. It seemed to me this status symbol was allowed to lapse. Packard is no more. I feel that Ford made a good move by restoring the script Ford. Also, Pratt & Whitney returned to the original “flying eagle” symbol as the modern, graphic interpretation was far less recognized and less liked by their customers."
  4. Here is some Poop on the Klipsch Logo authored by The Historian. http://www.klipsch.com/blog/definition-pwk-logo/
  5. I was referring to the wind speed and direction, and the pressure of the balls.
  6. No way. Just send me the drone footage.
  7. So what are the predictions for playoffs?
  8. As I mentioned, for me in started with the airplane when our mechanic recommended that the oil and filters from the gas turbine engines be sent to lab for testing periodically. You have to send in the filters because they are typically 10 micron and don't leave much in the oil for them to test what might be wearing or breaking down. The reports tell you about the life of the oil, debris found in the oil, size, and probable source, detergent capability, contaminants found (for autos this would include coolant, fuel, additives, etc. From there, I started sending oil from cars in for testing, using primarily Blackstone Labs, with the additional particul analysis. The lab measured the results, and they provide you with a detailed analysis of what your oil is doing compared to their extensive database, and they give recommendations. The particle analysis tells you right away if what size the filter is removing particles down to. The SAE has published a couple of articles that correlate the size of debris in vehicle engines with excessive wear, and IIRC they were bigoing on trapping everything above 20 to 25 microns. Travis
  9. Nope, this is where I give you warning points. Just you, nobody else. Have a Happy New Year.
  10. I would try them on that 12' wall just to see. That looks to be what effective width is anyway on the 18' wall.
  11. Awesome all the way around. Merry Christmas.
  12. Sometimes @Chief bonehead can get pretty busy. He will usually respond within a day or two unless he is out of the country, on a project, etc. Maybe y'all can still connect so that if something comes up in the future you are both on the same page. Travis
  13. What the heck. Going to get a spring as suggested, today. By the way, if you have ever gotten that email about when to take baby a spring on a daily basis, it is a total hoax.
  14. Are the drain plugs still metal? I suspect no issues using composite materials. They are used on Ford Powers Stroke diesel motors.
  15. From Edmonds: We decided to do an oil change on a Honda Fit belonging to Consumer Advice Editor Philip Reed to investigate this further. We sucked out the 3.8 quarts of oil and then removed the oil drain plug to see how much more flowed out. We were pleased to see that it was less than 3 tablespoons. This oil didn't appear to be any more contaminated than what had been sucked out by the extractor. We also unscrewed the filter and found it still contained about a quarter cup of oil. It is going to vary from vehicle to vehicle, but 3 tablespoons?
  16. There making pans out of plastic these days. Plastic?
  17. Have read people having similar experience people have had with Fram, like why bother to changer the oil. I have had really good results with Wix on filtration tests, as well as Royal Purple when Wix equlevant wasn't available.
  18. What filters are you finding to be the most effective?
