IOwnCalculus posted:Especially because even by Phoenix standards it's been stupid loving hot lately. We had a few days in a row where the low was over 90. Seriously, I have plenty of time to walk the dog, but gently caress going outside. Go play in the yard and scratch the door when you want back in.

The Locator posted:I was not aware that ant bites could kill you in Phoenix. I suppose there is some sort of super-ant around here that I'm unaware of though. I have a huge black widow living in my garage door. Also one living under the Suzuki Swift. They are my minions. My wife hates them with a passion.i don't live that far west from you, but we don't get many tarantulas in our gated community. Most of the wild life has been driven out. Or murdered by pest control...

Magnus Praeda posted:Black widows are cool since they aren't aggressive and typically won't bite unless actively provoked--like you often have to squeeze them or sit on them to get them to bite. Even then, they can choose how much venom (if any) to use in the bite. Still wouldn't want one in my house/car, but I'm way less freaked out by them than the hobo/aggressive house spider or brown recluse. Inside the house or car and they are killed on sight. Garage or under the car gets them sympathy unless they are on something I want to hold in my hands, then they are given ample time to go elsewhere or face the mallet of spider killing +1 (usually a shoe).

Fart Pipe posted:Whatever frankencarb you use go with the smaller jet for sure. That should help lower CO and hydrocarbons. Good luck man. I went through the same thing with my Rx7 when I worked at an emissions station and it never passed, not even close. I had to get a new fail sticker every 60 days since we werent allowed to have any non complying cars on the property. I agree with this. It looks like it is running ok at load but rich at idle. Does it idle kinda rough but smooths out on acceleration? Is idle rough and acceleration feel restricted? Anything you can tell us other than the report? Shame they don't give you all of the readings instead of just what important for pass/fail. Co2 and o2 readings help tell you what's wrong and let's you use a lambda calculator to give your exact a/f ratio and such. That tells you if it is a fuel system problem or something else. Your car sounds like the perfect diagnostic example for my smog class.

Awesome! What do you think was the silver bullet in order to pass idle? Just adjusting?

Wrar posted:"It's a dry heat" doesn't apply any more when it's well over 100F. That's just drat hot. My cutoff here for being outside for things is about 107. Below that and I can handle light work. Above 107 and it just feels like I'm being cooked to death.

I've been meaning to ask so now is as good a time as ever. Is that Sketch Up you're using? Any good tutorial sites or YouTube vids you'd recommend for someone that is slowly teaching himself how to poorly use it? Those handles look great!

Metal Geir Skogul posted:Oh, I've been using a student copy of SolidWorks 2014, but I've also used Onshape (made by ex-SW guys) and it's extremely similar. For my first SolidWorks tutorials, I actually had a Lynda subscription and used that. The videos are available as Thanks. I've been discussing the creation of some drawers and other wood working things with my father in law but neither of us want to hand draw and then scan and email or do the same with paint or whatever. Figured if I could make it with sketch up it would be easy, but I need some hand holding to get started. I'll keep searching.

, but I think there are better YouTube tutorials now (though I don't know what they are). After the first few videos, I've been learning on my own, mixed in with typical github-style forum searches when I come across a problem. Really, all of my "modeling" is basic shapes and a near-illegal abuse of the linear pattern and fillet commands.

Roaches just got bad on our side of the desert. They are all scurrying to get inside. Not that many scorpions in our complex, though. We just get a ton of black widows.
