I think for numbers there's 123 and 456 and chevy and dodge does the 135 246 but it doesn't mater really. I don't know about the ecoboost specifically but I think the parallel turbo system is the same as I described that's how there new power jokes are uh I mean power choke dang it power stroke there we go lol. If the turbos are two different sizes they work how described. Now if there truely for each bank then that would mean each bank would need its own intake manifold which is odd iv never seen that before. Not saying its impossible but just different I would think it would be bad down the road though if the right turbo goes now the left side of the engine is under pressure and not the right or vice versa.

I think it did happen I don't think they really put his body in the sea though I think they have it some where. I also read the article in stars and stripes about the members of S.E.A.L team 6 getting some flack for the game in which is in 3 of the PS3's being played as i type this its one B.A game.

depending on the school of thought NA engines are actually under 14.7psi or 1 bar. Yes most typical turbos in the older mid 90's late 80's jap cars and some dodges ranged from 4-7psi some engine builders/tuners add natural pressure of 14.7psi to come up with 18-21psi total but for ease of what ever ya wanna call it comprehension I guess most people just state the boost created by turbo's or super chargers. Most modern turbo gas engines can handle the higher boost created heck my old 92' Nissan 240sx was running 15psi just fine stock till I tried to go for more with out upgrading injectors oopsie melted a hole in my piston. Diesel engines that are turbo charged its not uncommon to see 30-40psi with some of the hot rodded ones up near 80-100psi. I don't know much about the eco boost but its probably like 99% of the twin turbo V style engines out there. Its really a "Bi turbo" or "staged" theres a million slang words for it but basically one bank runs a smaller turbo thats quick to spool giving you that low end torque your towing abilities. While that first turbo is spooled up running hot the second larger one is just getting warmed up and spools up later as the smaller one is at its peak and then "shut off" with the bigger one giving you a constant steady boost at your higher cruising RPMs. Turbo's are nice when all is well you get a good clean burn of your fuel steady pressures better economy less waste. How ever there is the big down side to turbos. They require rebuilds especially if your towing and beating on it, you have to be spot on with your oil changes turbo's are oil cooled for the most part so you get some nasty oil you haven't changed in a while guess what kiss that turbo goodbye also being oil cooled and at extreme heat your oil goes to hell quicker. With that heat its not wise also to just shut the engine down and go inside turbo timers are worth every penny and invaluable in my opinion they keep the engine running at idle allowing the oil to circulate and turbos to cool to a good level and turns the engine off for you I have smoked a few turbos by not having one and have had a few friends as well. Once running timers we haven't had issues other then ones caused else where. Nothing beats in line engines though in terms of torque yeah some V style engines may put up numbers but they take more to get there its just the simple design of the engine everything in line less resistance more torque hands down. Personally id buy a dodge with a cummins in it

man I shoulda put that in the thread bout things I love about my job I forgot all the free food and drinks this uniform has gotten me!!!

How many dogs does it take to change a light bulb? Golden Retriever: The sun is shining, the day is young, we’ve got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid light bulb? Border Collie: Just One. And then I'll replace ALL the wiring that's not up to code. Dachshund: You know I can't reach the stupid lamp. Rottweiler: Make Me. Boxer: Who cares? I can still play with my squeaky toys in the dark. Lab: Oh Me, me, me, PUHLEEEEEEEEZE let me change the light bulb. Can I? Can I? Huh? Huh? Huh? Can I, PUHLEEEEEEEEZE, PLEASE PLEASE? German Shepherd: I'll change it as soon as I've led these people from the dark, check to make sure I haven't missed any, and make one more perimeter patrol to see that no one has tried to take advantage of the situation. Jack Russell: I'll just pop it in while I am bouncing off the walls. Cocker Spaniel: Why change it? I can still pee on the carpet in the dark. Chihuahua: Yo Quiero Taco Bulb. Pointer: I see it, there it is, there it is, right there--RIGHT THERE Greyhound: It isn't moving, who cares? Australian Shepherd: First, I'll put all the light bulbs in a little circle. Basset Hound: I've got the bulb! Chase me for it or give me a dog biscuit in trade! Poodle: I'll just blow in the Border Collie's ear, and he'll do it. By the time he finishes rewiring the house, my nails will be dry. Terrier: Let me bark at it for a while to see if it really needs changing.

Well the Army lets me play with some cool toys that's always fun. Civilian side before I left for this deployment I was a teachers aide in a Diesel/Ag/Heavy Equip/Small engines class in a vocational school for 11th and 12th graders. It was fun kept me young even though I'm only 26 I started there when I was 21. Being close in age to some of these kids actually helped them understand better as they put it "its not coming from a ***** teacher looking down on you". I helped a few get into the military, shared a lot of my hard learned lessons in life with them and seen them make the right choices. For some reason they also felt they could tell me anything forgetting I was there teacher and was put in some hard spots and always had to turn them in but after wards was always actually thanked because I usually did it without making a big ruckus about it and they realized I was just doing my job and usually ended in a total attitude change and out look. Then there's the kids who just don't care one way or another should have failed but were not allowed to in today's society that I would like to strangle sadly these kids greatly out number the other ones willing to do something in life. How ever I'm not going back to teaching I have no clue what I'm gonna do when I rotate back in 4 weeks. Oh and another bonus to being a teacher....summers off to fish! winter and spring breaks to fish and hunt!

Not home yet but soon they said I should be on the first flight out of here because I have kids so if I'm on the first flight it will be within the next 4 weeks.

Well found out when the flights back state side are gonna be today and figured its a good time to go fishing for the last time while deployed. Theres a new unit here from Ft Carson thats been going every night bringing back shark, some tuna looking things, snapper, grouper, eels, u name it they have been catching it out there several sharks a night as well some good sized ones to pushing 5ft. So I went out to try my hand one last time. I didn't have anything to catch bait fish really I was out of the smaller sabiki rigs only had one pole just bare minimum really. Well I ended up snagging a "spot" like this little sunfish looking thing so I threw it on a hook and tossed it out there. Maybe 5 minutes into having it out there my pole goes sliding down the railing and i grab it and look into the water to see a shark on the other end of my line easily over 4ft and as big around as me thrashing on the surface. Thats about how long the fight lasted it busted my steel leader the snap part. So I threw the sabiki rig back on lowered it in this time I snagged what looked like a baby cuda it had lots of teeth and for only being maybe 9" it fought like hell. I decided not to use it as bait and threw it back in after digging the hook out out of its side. After that the waves were getting kinda bad couldent get anymore smaller baitfish but was watching sharks like crazy out there I counted at least 7 of them at one point with there fins outa the water like a jaws movie. So I started to head back ran into the Ft Carson guys they had a few snapper already and a few Kuwaiti officers stopped me to ask if I caught anything. I had just gotten past the turn around and tossed a bullet jig in for the heck of it and decided to "troll" as I walked back just giving it little twitches as I went. I took maybe 3 steps and bam fish on I couldn't believe it I had a little grouper on and landed it. did a quick photo op and tossed it back in. tossed the jig out and continued my walk back. Caught 1 more my PB grouper to date maybe 1.5-2lbs lol this one I watched take it seen it chasing the jig then I seen the jig disappear and I crossed his eyes like I was home bass fishing. Same deal quick photo op and tossed him back as he was spiting crab parts at me well i was trying to get the hook out he was hungry cuz his mouth was stuffed with 3 good sized crabs then my 1.5oz jig. I think im gonna go out once more tomorrow for another crack at a shark before I go back to WNY. this is the fish I though might be a baby Cuda

iv seen that video that's crazy and why you don't shoot at something with rocks as a backdrop

ah thats crazy if you go to Bloods rd in Lyndonville just off the parkway go down below the bridge to the east walk 150yds turn around you will see the same house and river "structure" as in your picture. If I was home id drive down there and take a pic to compare its seriously identical but its Johnsons creek iv been fishing since before I could walk.

John where was that first one taken it looks really similar to a spot I fish the house in the back the tree over hanging by the rip rap part in the back even the way the rocks are on the left making the little shallow pool. If its not the spot im thinking of its a cookie cutter copy identical to a spot iv been fishing my whole life and caught hundreds of salmon and trout out of.

So after reading A-Jays thread bout them tubes it reminded me of an incident we had this week while out at a range here. Those of you who were or are military and have been to Iraq and Kuwait probably know or have been to the Udari range. Now those of you who dont know but this ranges is a walking distance away from Iraq the dune directly behind our targets we could stand on and see into Iraq. Now we were warned to keep an eye out for UXO's(Un eXploded Ordnance) just in case. So were going threw our training doing my favorite battle drill 6 Alpha which is room clearing we were also doing react to contact and movement to contact(same thing pretty much). Nothing to exciting or different from any other time other then its sandy and windy as all hell. Well then nature calls from drinking so much water to stay hydrated out there so we break to go take a leak in the designated pee point. So there we are 3 of us standing junk in the wind when the guy to my right asks me what some thing is. I'm thinking hes playing a joke and i keep my eyes forward and crack a joke at him bout a wart lol. Then he said no seriously to look where we just pee'd. There were some metal fins sticking up out of the ground uncovered from ya know. So right there were all kinda got that butt pucker moment and reaction. We called the range safety over and he said it was some sort of UXO and we blocked the area off and called EOD. EOD finally showed up after about 30 minutes walks up to it no suit on nothing just a pair of gloves and kicks the thing! he kicks this thing out of the sand and picks it up turns around to show us its a AT4 round(US rocket launcher) so were all standing in the distance waiting to see the pink mist from this tard kicking a missile that failed to go boom and that we were just peeing on. The guy walks out a little ways sets it down places a charge on it comes back to us and blows the thing. That part was cool but watching him kick it and us finding it with our pee stream def made us at least me pucker just a bit lol. That was all we found UXO wise the rest was just scorpions and sand vipers hiding under our gear where it was cool.

I just seen this on another site and seriously LOL'ed

hahaha I have done that....as an adult....to a co worker at a new job......awkward That also reminds me of this contractor here in Kuwait SHE comes threw everyday and on my gate days I always see her. Well shes an older women pacific island heritage I think shes also very thick I'll call it with a short almost flat top haircut. For probably a good solid month I had been greating her at the gate with a "goodmorning sir" she never corrected me so I wasnt any the wiser till one day a fellow soldier laughed and informed the sir was a ma'am so next time she came in I took a closer look at her ID under the sex catagory sure enough the he was a she oh well lol.

Oh where to start if got the "I do" like some "I swear..."(army enlistment) probably my dumbest decision though was bust my arse threw tech school have perfect attendance 3.94 GPA nailed my interviews for a secondary school with my choice of BMW, Volvo, VW, Ford, Porsche all paid for at no cost to me just had to give them 12-24mo after training and I think the lowest salary was starting at 25.50 before the extra for my ASE certs which would have added 4 more dollars making it 29.50 an hour to start out I was only 19 years old at the time......My decision passed them all up to move back to NY to be with my HS sweetheart of 4 years and work at Nissan.......the hs sweet heart and I made it a month and broke up and I left Nissan after 2 weeks because it was to far of a drive and right when gas prices started going threw the roof after Katrina. Yup kicking my self in the arse for that one.

I still have yet to catch a shark here and only got a few weeks left. Talking to a few of the engineers that just got here that goes out every night they catch a few every night so I'm gonna try a time or two before we leave to try and get my first shark.

I cant believe y'all are talking bout Christmas already its just now November..............

I hate neighbors eve if they were nice or what ever I just don't like living in close proximity of others. Idk how u do it dave 10ft apart id go nuts I grew up in the sticks closest neighbor was a mile down the road in either direction. I have an apartment now well did.....yeah but anyways even that I hate its same thing just a apt building in the middle of no where but I cant stand the other tenants other then 1 and that's cuz I knew him since I was in diapers his parents owned the house next my moms house the one a mile down the road lol and now his parents own the apt we are in well I was...

At dawn the telephone rings, "Hello, Senor Rod? This is Ernesto, the caretaker at your country house." "Ah yes, Ernesto. What can I do for you? Is there a problem?" "Um, I am just calling to advise you, Senor Rod, that your parrot, he is dead." "My parrot? Dead? The one that won the International competition?" "Si', Senor, that's the one." "Oh My! That's a pity! I spent a small fortune on that bird. What did he die from?" "From eating the rotten meat, Senor Rod." "Rotten meat? Who the heck fed him rotten meat?" "Nobody, Senor. He ate the meat of the dead horse." "Dead horse? What dead horse?" "The thoroughbred, Senor Rod." "My prize thoroughbred is dead?" "Si', Senor Rod, he died from all that work pulling the water cart." "Are you insane? What water cart?" "The one we used to put out the fire, Senor." "Good Lord! What fire are you talking about, man?" "The one at your house, Senor! A candle fell and the curtains caught on fire." "What the ... ? Are you saying that my mansion is destroyed because of a candle?!" "Si', Senor Rod." "But there's electricity at the house! What was the candle for?" "For the funeral, Senor Rod." "WHAT BLOODY FUNERAL??!!" "Your wife's, Senor Rod." She showed up very late one night and I thought she was a thief, so I shot her with your new Kreighoff Limited Edition Custom Gold Engraved Trap Special with the custom Wenig Exhibition Grade Stock. SILENCE ... LONG SILENCE ... VERY LONG SILENCE. "Ernesto, if you scratched that shotgun, you're in deep s#$%."

the gar actually only usually ate 1 or 2 feeder fish but I think its cuz them oscars would pack 10 in there mouth at once and steal them out of the gars mouth so he would get what ever was left once the oscars mouths were full of fish.

We used to have a 46 gal bow front with 2 albino oscars and a Florida gar and then a 55 gal with a large mouth bass in it. They were fun to have but pricy to feed and keep clean especially the oscars they are filthy. I traded the 46 gal for a Remington 1100 20ga a few years ago and sold the 55 gal for 200 cash I paid less then 200 for both tanks fully set up! heres some pics of the bow front don't have pics of the bass

yeah we got 6 weeks left roughly. Our chain of command hasn't put out a date yet but the rest of the battalion they all know December 15th well we cant leave with out them and vise versa. I pried on my Lt the other day and that's what he hinted to also was that date so hopefully soon. I'm trying to deal with as much as possible here like I said I got a meeting with JAG Monday today I changed over all of my accounts the rest of the way and all my direct deposit info. I'v got my buddy who said he will also swing by after work this week to grab my fishing poles and my guns out of the apt which is all I have anyways none of my clothes fit anymore iv lost 40lbs since I had left in January so she can keep them this other guys fat like I used to be he can wear them hes wearing everything else of mine.....

That time was before her and I were ever together but another dark period of my life that looking back at now with this over my head that situation was nothing compared to this. My dads been emailing me and we have been talking bout the whole situation and even still like I said bout him bad mouthing my mom he never has even now as hes sharing the divorce process with my mother he still isnt talking bad about her. Hes also re assuring me I can still be a father no matter what the out come but its gonna mean missed baseball games and such and will tear me apart at least it did to him not able to make all my games and other things growing up. Both my parents are aware now though my mom has known for a while before I did and she has just bit her tongue and even now shes and my dad are both respecting my wishes as I told them they can still talk to her and see the kids but not to say anything or be mean to her just to sty out and leave it between me and her but still see the kids when they want.

oh I'm def going after my kids I grew up in a broken family wishing I seen my dad more I don't want my sons going threw that they mean the world to me if you couldn't tell by a lot of my posts and pictures there of my son. I have an appointment with a lawyer on the 5th at 2 it seems like an eternity away though. Those of you who have gone threw this IDK how you did it this is destroying me I haven't slept a wink and cant even eat my dinner was like 3 bites of a sandwich and a bottle of water its all I could get in without feeling sick and them 3 bites still took me 45 minutes to eat. Tomorrow should be a ball also I have a tower shift which is just me in a tower all alone with nothing but empty desert to stare off into and my mind will run wild should be fun........ The other thing I'm fighting within to is not getting self destructive ie smoking and drinking. There is no alcohol in Kuwait thank god I have got to fight the urge when I get home not to go back to the old me that seriously drank a 30 pack every evening just for a warm up before the hard liquor. I got about 6 weeks till I'm home so if I can make it that long I hope it will be strength not to hit up every bar on the way home where ever that may be haven't even figured that out yet considering I'm homeless now.
