0-100psi is all the spread you'll need on an oil pressure gauge.

it's been so long since I've driven a car with an oil gauge, I can't recall;
IIRC 30-60 is good, often at much past 80psi, things start going bad... and if you're consistantly seeing below 30psi (as in 15 or less) you've got a problem.

it also depends on where you're taking the reading from;
I like the sender to be as far from the pump as possible;
some people like it to be right off the pump...

IIRC a standard oil pump is set to 60psi.

Metric pressures... I dunno, you got me.

sorry I meant to comment on that earlier... blame work for clouding my thoughts...

It did look nice... but I dunno.

I think I've reserved myself to spending my money elsewhere at this tome though... and ammending my registration to reflect a colour change is more akin to $60 if memory serves me...

Generally, I hate cops.

At one time they used to be a respectible lot, but have over time, degraded themselves to being secondary tax collectors ~ and they're totally rude...
Even if they have to assume the roll of being a tax collector, they could at least be polite/civil, to the point where it's apparent that the citizen isn't respecting them...

I tuned a Solstice GXP for an RCMP District manager;
We talked a bit about how cops aren't what they used to be, and how many are just plain rude...
He found absolutely no fault in my stance...

So the radar is not purely because of speeding (because we all do), but more over because I want to know where they're hiding, and advanced warning is nice.

Bummer.

You going to be on-site then?

Jayson isn't able to make it either.



Speaking of FB, Mark, last night I caught a glimpse of what you meant for reason to not be on FB...
FB has this reccomended friends list based on interestes, or commmon friends...
I saw ALOT of sexually explicit crap, because one friend in certain seemed to "friend" some rather bad sites...
I think something changed on FB, I didn't used to see all these reccomendations ~ I tried to turn them off, but couldn't find the setting.

facebook is the route of all evil man.... i will always believe this.... it makes no difference if your good or not.... sooner then later it will bite all people in the ass...... i dont mind if ella has fb coz i trust her completely..... but i know if i had fb that things would be different.... she uses it to keep in touch with relatives in the phills....

look this is why i took this stance on it.... any of you remember marcia? well we would get into countless fights because she thought i was using fb to cheat on her..... the funny things were 1 i didnt have a facebook account. 2 i wasnt even cheating on her..... needless to say the fighting got old and i grew tired of hearing about facebook.....at that time i realized real quick that facebook was evil.... then i have several friends not mentioning names but they used facebook to get in touch with old high school mates.... eventually one thing led to another..... they started to mess around with other women, meanwhile the girlfriends or wives were at home with the kids..... sorry but that dont sit right with me...

top things off you would think this might be a minor deal but it truely isnt.... my coworkers use facebook to play online games..... well after several fights and threats of quiting, my boss has realized what it was doing to them.... 1 production went down. 2 they were always playing games and not helping me do the work. 3 it coz a wedge between me and them forever.... they are some of my closest friends.... til this day me and jess still fight alot.... he still plays online alot.... its so bad he left me to get another company to design this latest wrap i have on my car... needless to say i am happy but yet i am lil disappointed because i know jess could have done a way better job in translating what was in my mind.... we as a company can create and achieve the most absolute insane products if we put our minds to it.... but when your playing a freaking game all day we achieve nothing.... besides this affecting me work wise, this has effected my pay.... i havent had a raise in over 5 yrs.... we have yet to recover the early years when those 2 idiots were so involved in those damn games.... in which it hurt our customer base and our productivity.... in return it meant less money flowing through our shop... which lead to no raises.... now i am struggling to keep afloat....

you tell me why i need facebook? ok i agree i would like to know whats happening in GMToC..... i am thankful some of you tell me whats happening.... in reality it is a can of worms i wish to never open considering i just got my life back together and starting to achieve my goals....

Regardless how good of a cop I am that will never change the stereotype of cops. Look at Jons comment "I hate cops". Not I hate this one cop that's always a dick to me. But stuff like that will never change. And I'm prepared for that. I get that at my job now haha.

bah!

You can be one of those exceptions.

One rule in life, is that there is always exceptions from the norm.

(maybe you can give us some under the radar (punn intended) scoop on what works, and what doesn't!?)

Once again, I have NEVER said that YOU need facebook - only that you should join the group so that we didn't have to tell you what was happening - no one is going to care if you join through Ella's profile, and if it's a concern, she can see what kind of people we all are, how we talk and joke with each other, and that this group is NOTHING that would take away from your relationship.
And alerts can be totally diabled.

The quoted part makes me think you need to put your feelers out for another shop - do you have an laternate email that you can covertly do it through?
Can you take care of it from home?
