  1. Very fancy but good grief. You would need to be a small business to recover the cost of that setup. My setup might be 15 bucks - rubber holder for shaft, knife blade and large glass container to recapture solvent. I think I mentioned that I once did my woods in a Residence Inn hotel room with a kitchen knife
  2. No idea why I saved a single photo from 18 years ago but I am glad I did. Was thinking how to use it in the thread when someone else asked. Kinda shows the power of Surly. One person had the text and another the photo. There was another photo a little later I really wish I had. Someone else ran into Leach at a museum in Key West and had a really cool picture of him sitting in a pirate chair staring down the camera. That photo would be perfect now
  3. tried to edit but time had expired so reposting for background. On the sub at Pearl his son's hat blew off. Leach walked past the security people and rummaged in a storage are for the pole with a net and then walked past them again to fish the hat out. Basically Leach being Leach and marching to his own drum
  4. I think so. I saved the picture. It was described as a ridiculous long pole and correct
  5. I knew you had an MGA (I still have one) but also a Vega? if you also had a Corvair we just hit for the cycle
  6. Not exactly correct. I got 125K on my Vega without issues. The design issue was aluminum block without steel sleeves for piston. Any temperature issues warped it. Dad bought several for 100 bucks or so and sleeved the engine and they ran fine after. Delorean's book said the beancounters removed the steel sleeves. However the body rust issue was real. They learned the hard way that certain metals rust when touching - like the clips holding trim on. However any mid 70's car was a mess as they tried to go from horsepower to fuel economy overnight The Vega was fine for me. Also had 2 Fiats which were not fine. We also had a couple of Corvairs which were fine since they were after 1964.
  7. Actually laughed at it and then remembered that Super Bowl is trademarked so you can't use it in advertising. Wonder if you could trademark Superb Owl?
  8. Picked up a PXG 5 wood last month when they had them on sale for 89.00. Still need to hit it though
  9. Love the old eye2's but after 30 years there have been a few changes. Most of the big gains are in woods but irons have enough for you to look at. First you get a lot of shaft choices. You mentioned reshafting the Pings but the original clubs had 2 or 3 at best. Second - everyone is now going to stronger lofts and shaft length. Your old 7 iron is now 8 or 9 iron. Third - eye2's were famous for heel/toe weighting but newer clubs have really tweaked it.
  10. Never hurts to change em. Did you use anti sieze?
  11. If you use the vice make sure you get the hard rubber insert to hold the club. Otherwise you just dented the shaft
  12. Also get the hooked knife blade to cut the old one off. Man I miss Golfsmith for stuff like this. I actually did all my woods once with a steak knife in a Residence Inn room. Wasn't too bad except for not having a vice
  13. For the transfer and diif make sure you check what the plugs are and have the right tools. On my 01 4Runner the front diff has a screwy hex plug. You use a hex wrench adapter and it's an absolute pain. No clue what the idiot engineer was thinking except all the other plugs use a socket so I have to choose something totally different. You can't any leverage unless you get it off the ground. Breaker bar just hits the ground or is lost in the frame. And of course make sure you can get the fill plug out before pulling the drain plug Only forgot that once and it took a lot of work to fix
  14. be very careful of any grips from Amazon - lots of fakes. I really liked the old Lamkin tour wrap but isn't made anymore. I have MCC now
  15. Same company that hid a starter under the intake manifold on a Lexus a while back.
  16. They must be outstanding irons for him to switch after the year he had.
  17. I wasn't counting interim's. Good grief.
  18. Math is a little off - Bowden, Tuberville, Chizik, Malzahn, Harsin. As was mentioned he just was not a fit in SEC. I am pretty sure both the AD and new coach will at least understand the SEC.
  19. We need a picture of Bailey hanging out the window at 60 MPH
  20. Sorry for laughing but the idea of a store only having one side is what would happen to me. On a holiday. At least you have traditional shocks and not struts. Was looking at mine on the 2001 4Runner and trying to decide what local garage has a press. No way on earth I am using spring compressors on truck springs
  21. Just go with two hand touch. No sliding and no shot to the head
  22. Not even close.... https://www.businessinsider.com/nba-will-pay-two-brothers-500-million-to-get-out-of-crazy-business-deal-made-in-1976-2014-1 As background the NBA/ABA merger left two teams behind. One took a one time cash payout. The other took a percentage of the TV contract until "the end of time". Granted this was in the 70's and the NBA championship was on tape delay but suddenly Magic, Bird and Michael showed up. In defense this was the last negotiating point to allow the merger and it was something like 3am so everyone agreed. The family of the Memphis team appreciated all the hard work for almost 40 years. Got millions for doing absolutely nothing
  23. For no real reason - Cougars (the auto type) are underappreciated
  24. Love the early morning game... They should coach how to run the pick play better than that. Still scored after penalty
