They are ALL nicer in person. ;)
Odd, that way. :)

The Inconel valves are a one piece high temp valve. Some people run them on exhausts only. My understanding is that you can stick one of these valves.... but not drop a valve. I think that we are going near the engine mount brackets with the oil coolers.

As far as bickering.... I have no problem with you when you are not being a preck. I wished you congrats on your expected baby and while I did call your boat "crusty butt" I honestly never wish you any bad luck. I even sent you that pm months ago to say "hey... might as well go 502s." :D

I even honestly invited you over to the other place. Not that you need my invite. If you showed up and just eased your way in you would find it a great resource. Everybody who has helped me with my project is over there, that's why I haven't kept this one up. It's not like "take my ball and go home" it's just a practical matter of the same people who come to my house are on that site. Bunch of them. And some friends are here, but they aren't local or involved.

Back on that tank... I am glad that I discovered it because it wasn't THAT obvious. It was a ticking time bomb for years. That was my only motivation in suggesting that others be wary. I wasn't wishing it on anybody... but if you find it... I hope that you find it like me, when the power is out and the bulkhead was stripped for paint.

I pull no punches on line or in person...either way..Im a drunken jackass living on the funnier side of life.. life is only a temporary situation, no need to take it seriously.

I am pretty sure that I am the same person either way too... although in person I think that I am misunderstood less.

You may be on the funnier side of life, but you are no jackazz. A jackazz would have puked on my couch. :)

I like you John, but for some reason Rob does not, I think If you meet him in person, it would not go down the way you think!! He is a great guy, and would do anything for his Friends!!! As for you Andy, I for some reason like you as well, I guess it is because you speak your mind, and piss off some people!!:cool-smiley-027:

There is no reason for you and I not to like each other. We did a deal with no bs between us. We dealt straight with each other. Where do you find that in this day and age?

Rob and I used to be "friendly." We were never friends. He would pm me and tell me who I should like and who I shouldn't like.
We had a disagreement once and he stayed on it like a pit bull. I even sent him a PM when we started the other site to clear the air and put it behind us and he threw it back in my face. The guy straight up underestimates me. He underestimated me over the tank, and he underestimates me when he tries to bully me.
He thinks that he is the only dopey looking, sort of chunky, moderately farm boy, 3XT wearing, 6'6" 250 pound azzhole that is walking the earth?
There is no reason that it would go any other way than it always goes when he and I eventually meet. We will. We know too many people in common. He will chill out. So will I. We will either avoid each other or become friends. He ain't going to jail over me, even if he does still hate me after he meets me. He is just gonna have to live with that hate. Real life is not a school yard. We are grown men.
The rest is internet BS.

The funny thing about resentment is that it's like taking poison and hoping that the other guy dies. ;)

ahhh, another knob internet threat, although vaguely disguised as trying to be "real"... its simple, anyone can research my posts and bring it right back to where it started "bilge savior". You need to get over yourself, you are a douchebag and will continue to be one, you think that you are better than everyone on here. (Just from my view).
I have no idea what you are referencing when you say 6'6, I'm only 6'3, and I'm not chunky, nor do I have "piercing" blue eyes:rolleyes: mine are just blue.

As for you in real life, you seem to think your cool? and your friends are the coolest. be careful what you say and think, my phone lit up 4 times from Kelly's from the poker run. you're not as popular as you think, got it. they are laughing at you behind your back, at least I tell you right up front.

And for the lurker here and then wants to talk behind my back on another site, be careful who you talk about, I'm friends with Cleveland boaters too. you should choose your words more carefully ;).

I don't need my friends to defend me, although thank them for doing so. This isn't about an Apache it is about you being nothing, and then arrogant about it, you and Andy can sword fight, touch pee pees all you want. Do you think that you are the only person redoing a boat? Hell I just did more to my tiger this year and have a 20 cigarette that is 2/3d's done. I've posted pics as well, just no where near as obnoxious as you. I have you on ignore on serious and I don't post on your threads. I'm going boating.

More crap from Rob. If you say it enough Rob, you may believe it.

If you want to be the representative of people who call others behind others back so be it. But you make my point for me. The same people who are azzholes on the internet smile to your face in real life. Even if they shrink away to some corner and call their peeps for support.

Go back to not posting on my threads. It works for me. It was not to forget that you are out there.

And for the "lurker here and there" who wants to talk behind Rob's back on another site.... don't let him scare you. He is a bully. There is nothing there, just secret phone calls and pm's about who you should like. Don't take him seriously. Nobody else does.

Anywho.... today the rest of the bad wood (caused by the tank that was leaking for a few years) will come out of the 28.

I need to stay out in front of those engines.
