ooooooooh! I like, a LOT! 

Ray

3 30 packs ?? Lightweight  

Lol yeah, sumpun like that, Tom,  but more like 6 or 7 I think,  More than that if you count the yard work I hired out to spend more time on the boats, 

These "Skilled workers" are getting expensive!

Ray

Lol He must be OK, taking after me and beerjet, 

Ray

You guys are gonna laugh at me, i just know it for digging up an old thread like this. I'm the gullible one, I know. Terry's gotten me at least twice, and the rest of you have gotten me on various occassions. (I thought Terry was BS'ing me about the Flatty, but lo and behold, Brad gets pics of it).

Someone at work today told me a story about this 'Submarine' (Not MY yellow Submarine, another one apparently), on the river supposedly sent up to blow up a dam of some sort (I was told Hoover dam, but that didn't make sense). Me being me, and with Brad, am infatuated with history. So I do the logical thing, I search here and Google it.  Never heard of this before. Heard of the one off the coast of NJ, but not this.

Sounds to me like an urban legend, but, were it not for the B-29 crash in the early 50's under somewhat dubious circumstances, I would leave it at that.

In or about the same time this all supposedly happened, were we not employing Nazi War Criminals to develop the A-Bomb, and after WWII, to perfect it? Whom else did we employ to design? Possibly unmanned and 1 or 2 manned subs we KNOW the Japanese and Germans were woriking on? (The Japanese were actually using them during WWII, quite successfully, I might add, rumours and evidence persist they were used in Pearl Harbor).

The timeline precludes any enemy from doing this, BUT, could it have been a failed US experiment? Would make sense if the sub exists. (I dunno if it does, last post I really read said 2Sav was gonna prove it, and now he has a boat to do so)

My thought is this. IF it exists, and IF it is one of the one or two manned jobs, they were launched from torpedo tubes or aircraft. If we had a B29 crash there, and noone knows what they were doing, well, fill in the blanks. Sounds like a test to me. And consider that German and possibly Japanese engineers were used to design it. And the B29 crash was the result of the test?

How many people know we were using convicted war criminals to develop the A-bomb to begin with? I dunno, thinking out loud.

Lol, Just wanted to toss a new twist on this after I read it. Then again, maybe I'm the idiot I think I am wanting to beleive.

Ray

Again, I should keep my thoughts to myself, lol.

Sorry guys, wasn't advocating that behaviour, It's just what I see other stores doing and other members of my own management team. They're afraid of confrontation. I, personally, always get taken care of pretty easily, and never have to resort to that. Half of what I said was tongue in cheek, there is a nice and polite way to bitch, 

Ray

i would love to, but we have inventory on sunday, i WILL be heading to bartlett next weekend though if you have no plans

How long does it take to count cars? 

I'd say, what 15, 20 minutes? lol

Plan to be out next Saturday too, just dunno where, Bartlett sounds fine.


Ray

Before you say it, I know, I know, you have to count the parts room and the service dept too, lol. I did inventory at the Uhaul tech center twice, thank gawd for my retail background. Those idiots haven't got a clue how to do it or prep for it.

Actualy, that looks kinda wild, but kit don't get you in the water any quicker! lol

Ray

I prolly shoulda clarified The $2500 and $10 fix. When you're dealing with some 30,000 trucks out there, doesn't seem a big deal, but it does to you and me. That's how I approched my job. Yeah, from a corporate standpoint, there were issues, and we addressed those, but my major point here is, just fix it. (prolly why I'm no longer with them, but that's another story)

Basically, for you and me, 'tis an easy fix. No problem. If we all had a fleet, which I am working on, then there's the issues of how and why on a failure. Other than that, just get on with it.

Ray

HOLY CRAP! Talk ablout junk in the trunk, lol

Ok if that need be. his turnkey boat is gonna wind up costing me more than the projects I accumulated.

Ok, Thanks Glenn, and  keep figuring, not gonna cost you a nickel you decide to come over here, lol,  but if figuring makes you happy

Ray

Terry, we need to vote but I think we all agree, you ARE  'The Extreme" lol (Kinda fitting no? ) (Maybe B-rad can change your sign in name too) 

Ray

If you wantr to go totally electronic, use a Unilite Dizzy, a Hyfire 6al, and a good coil. (mallory pro coil would be my choice since all the rest is mallory), then you can eliminate the resistor.

A few hundred bucks for all that (What is on the mooo boat).

I would suggest what I already said, replace the coil, resistor, plug and dizzy wires, cap and rotor. It will fix the problem. If it doesn't, I owe you more than a few drinks. But it will.

An msd unit falls under the same problems as std ignitions with connection issues. I agree with electrowoman on this, you are only compounding the problem with an MSD unit.

Ray

Been playing around with the Biesemeyer's wiring issues ( not making progress, but looking at it and digesting what I see, what a hack that owned this boat before).

Anyway. what's the proper way to wire this switch in so that the alt charges both batteries no matter what and I can use the fugger to switch batteries if need be? I'm scratching my head on this when I first thought it should be simple. Maybe 2Sav's rubbing off on me and I'm over analyzing again.

Top left of the picture, the Battery switch, lol



Ray

I'm kinda eyeballin the windsheild. Wonder if it'll fit the Biesemeyer? Can you measure that? I'll buy all of it to get the windsheild, what the hell?
