I've lived in two of those top stolen car locations and "southeast DC" and had a car stolen in boring suburban virginia.
I'm curious how much of an impact the whole "keyfob has electronig tag" thing has on car theft for cars with that feature. My miata had that. Mini has it. So what's the deal?

Met a girl last night who claimed to be half Chinese and half Native American. She was insanely gorgeous, whether or not she was telling the truth.
I handled myself like a gentleman.

I knew a girl who was half Chinese and half German once.
Insanely cute, and was also a biochemist working at a startup company in the valley developing a process for the 3d printing of meat.

I have my hard top up for sale on CL and got a possible scammer email. I googled his email and it came up on some craiglist scammer report website. Time saved not dealing with this guy. Thanks internet people.

I purchased a supposedly good LNC 1.6, nope. Pulley was wobbley it had actually worn a hole in the timing cover behind it.
So, not wanting to put any more effort in than necessary. I cleaned the keyway and damaged key, jammed it full of Loctite 660, hammered the key back in, new crank bolt with Red Loctite and hit it with the impact.
I guess we will see if it holds this weekend at the track.

So I repaired the chewed up input shaft in my supercharger with a sleeve made out of a wrist pin.
The wrist pin had the perfect outer diameter, and it is the hardest piece of steel I could find for this repair.
Drilling into the hard steel for the correct diameter was the toughest thing, but we left a 0.1 mm difference in the sleeve and the shaft. (The shaft was machined down to a smooth surface).
Heated the sleeve to about 200F, and pressed it on the shaft.
No problems so far.

I just got an email from a former co-worker back at the Harris / PR&E office in Carlsbad. In retrospect, it seems that my decision to jump ship back in August (which, in reality, was somewhat more convoluted than I have publicly admitted to anyone here, but which a few people made reasonable guesses about) was rather well-timed after all.
Effective Dec 31, Harris will be closing the office, laying off everyone, and terminating the entire PR&E audio console / router product line which I poured 13 years of my heart and soul into designing, debugging, selling, installing, and generally making the best possible thing that I could out of.
I spent so many years working alongside all those folks. I got to travel the world, make all sort of interesting relationships with all sorts of customers. I got to solve fantastically odd and complex problems, and, if I may say so, design and build some of most interesting and innovative solutions to bizzare, one-off requirements that I have ever seen, from any company in this industry, bar-none. I mean, we achieved some fantastically innovative stuff, often working with outmoded technology and **** for resources.
And now, with the stroke of a pen, it's all just been wiped off the face of the earth.
