Tundras live: Agree to disagree (a lesson in civility)

Do piston rings travel less or more with varying rpm?

 

Sorry. Super loopy. Tried driving to my sister's place, but need to stop and get a power nap. Only pic at the moment.

 

Congrats Adam. So long to the Tunny and hello to the Taco. That thing is going to be a cop magnet. No way to hide it or have it blend into the crowd. (It is about time that we emerged from the mundane palette of black, gray, silver and white.)

 

You say from you perfectly camouflaged MGM! Good thing it's not easy to be dumb in a Taco. Should still be safe.

 

That burnt orange is purdy

 

At best I'm just an average diy mechanic but I've heard varying rpm's is better for the rings so they don't find a home on the cylinder wall.

 

I say from the Salsa Red Pearl that has visited with a few LEOs!

 

I've heard about the rings too, but never seen anything other than internet discussion. Think our manual (and the Turd I had before this) mentioned the gearing as the reason. Who knows...I follow it religiously so it doesn't matter....either way I'm good

 

Looking good...I do love the orange that came on the TRD Pro a few years ago so that Taco speaks to me. Well, other than it being a Taco.

 

That's a PRO TACO; it probably comes w/adaptive cruise!!!!!

 

You may wanna check your purchase agreement.... As tired as you are, you probably purchased undercoating, an extended warranty for $4500, some PPF, leather conditioning, and lifetime TSS.

 

He seems more like a Etorphine dude to me

 

What app and what phone? I’ve been wanting to mess with this on my iPhone but hate downloading questionable apps. My old Pixel was pretty solid at it on its own though.

 

Central bulge of the Milky Way is not currently visible but you can still capture the rest of the Milky Way or constellations. You want the largest aperture possible in order to keep the exposure time short to permit the sensor to capture stars as spots of light - instead of having stars as lines of light that you will see with longer exposures. Best done with a camera with a full frame sensor.

 

I'd like to know what app that is! If it does the tracking then the phone better be kept extremely solid - no movement. If it does track then that is really a neat app and very sophisticated.

 

Try to get Mars while you're at it. It's raining here right now, so we can't see shit. But, the last 5 nights we've been able to see Mars w/naked eye. Look somewhat south sweeping from slightly east to slightly west.

 

I’ll have to look for mars when it gets clear in WA. Jupiter and its moons were visible about a month ago. I have a telescope and still a novice. I have an app Star Walk that I find useful, on iPhone and iPad. I do t know about other phones. I took a snapshot of the screen, showing mars off to the east. I’m north of Seattle by 35 miles.

 

I think the one I use is Skyview, but yeah those apps help a lot when you have no idea what you're doing and trying to find shit!!

 

Great photos... Awesome clear night!!!

Regarding the Imgur acc..... wait, did you just change that to Flickr in the middle of my reply??

Well, so much for my smart ass comment

 

He'll probably sleep all day at his sister's house.

 

I'm alive. Just recovering from the lack of Zs. Appreciate you guys looking out.

 

Hope you know we are all expecting a trip report once you get some time. Safe travels.

 

Long and boring drive. Very little to report. Just tired and resting before doing it again to head home.

I did learn/remember somethings about driving in Texas again.

1. You are not allowed to drive the speed limit. Above the limit; Below the limit; NEVER at the actual limit.
2. If someone is ahead of you, it is imperative that you pass them. It does not matter if you are going slower than they are. You can slow back down once you are in front, but passing is not optional.
