What's not clear is if powder and components will become more available. That's where my deficiencies lie

Its just economics. It someone can make money on it, then it will be for sale...

Parenting / Re: A dad's reality check
« on: December 20, 2016, 11:20:30 AM »
Well, the oldest is now 13 and the youngest just turned 11.  I gave my oldest a phone when she turned 12.  When I gave it to her, I told her that what I was handing her was as dangerous as one of my pistols.  It had the power to ruin her life and that nothing she does or says on that phone should be considered private.  I've disabled everything other than calls and texts, but still that's enough to get her in trouble.

She needs it to communicate with us as she's involved in a lot of after school activities like dance, debate, Nat'l Jr Honor Society, etc.  Last week she leaves it on the bench at school when being picked up.  We went back and it was gone.  I tried to activate find my phone but it was not installed onthat phone.  Fortunately someone turned it in at the office.  So I was updating software and installing anc activating Find My Phone and decided to do my fatherly duty and review all her pictures and texts.  Found a friend that was texting her about sending dirty jokes. 

My daughters downfall was not telling her friend not to send them.  Instead she said, send it and then I'll delete it and that her battery was about dead so she would respond and let her know when to send it.....

So....I texted her friend as though I was my daughter and told her to send it.  It was innocuous "don't foget to blow up the beach balls" I guesss getting the word "balls" in a joke was dirty for them.

So I called my daughter out on it and she knew she was wrong and knew she should have told her friend not to send jokes.  I also reinforced that nothing on that phone is private and she should talk to her friend and tell her she got in trouble and that she would appreciate her not sending anymore jokes.  Ofcourse my daughter wanted to text her and I said, no.  You need to talk to her face to face in person.

I also told her that if I caught her again (and I'd be checking) that she'd lose her phone and ability to particpate in after school activities.

Have you guys dealt with this? how did you handle it?

Are there any sofware that logs all keystrokes and text messages?
In a school near here Sexting is the big trap the girls fall into.

It happened with one of my girls. Went to church with the other family. So we nipped it in the bud like immediately. Saved both of them. But another friend's daughter got all caught up in it as well. He is strong enough to handle it, and has had success getting her back on track

Phones, computers, texting, skyping, gaming...all of that has potential pitfalls.

Bring them up in the ways of the Lord and they will come home to what they know and have been taught.

Whoops...finally re-appeared here, at Campbell now as a staff puke S-6.

Work these days has me considering trading in my bars for dots and heading to Mother Rucker though...

You wouldn't believe how many majors and LTC's who used to tell me the same thing. Some actually did. Nasty guard is easier to do that. So many of the warrants there used to be Captains. Gotta tell ya, in the majority of the Army today (Not so much in spec ops) it is hard to stay near the troops, which is the reason real leaders want to serve. Staff what? No, give me an objective and I'll move out smartly

I didn't opt for W5 for that reason. I had finagled a Company SIP position as a senior W4. I should have been beyond Battalion, likely up in brigade somewhere, but I was still leading assaults in my last days. But the CW5 promotion was coming with a move to Rucker to the Chinook SIP for the entire US Army. That's a desk which I'd never leave. I opted out...

Then God smiled on me. Flew commercial airliners for a spell (Boring) but when the wars started, why they needed experienced combat pilots once again, and guess what???

That's my story. I could have been a Colonel, but getting there with all the politics and staff jobs, no thanks senor' I wanted troop time and trigger time, and an opportunity to populate hell with the enemies of this nation, and, well, let's just say I had a good run of it...

Troop time my friend...Or contact me privately someday...

I think this newer truck might be wearing the new 8 speed transmission...

Anyone know?

It will only be offered in the 6 speed for now. I can attest to the engine because I have one in my Canyon. I achieved 38mpg on a 100 mile round trip btw...

Never told me I was banned, just couldn't log in any more. Then found that I had been banned. I guess I was getting too powerful and of course with the pro-Jesus comments, I was offending the snowflakes and devils.

Off-Road Mode Technology allows you to seamlessly pick between Desert, Mud or Mountains. Plus, the Colorado ZR2 offers a brand new advanced 3.6L V6 engine with eight-speed transmission, in addition to the segment-exclusive Duramax® 2.8L Turbo-Diesel.† No matter what road you take, the brand new Colorado ZR2 will get you there.

Now, I drove the VW 3.0 Turbo Diesel with 405 ft/lbs. That little dude which is similiar in weight (AWD) as this midi truck would fly. I mean it was surprisingly quick. on ramps were fun again. I'd say it might give my C-Max with 1000+ ft/lbs a run for the money

Translation: This little truck that could be is going to be pretty sporty.

10 second search found this:


2.8L Duramax Colorado Canyon Tuning w /License


+50HP and 80Ft-lbs w/Tuning only


4-position Switchable on-the-fly!



Durmaxtuner.com has wasted no time ramping up with our new 2.8L Duramax options!


The 2.8L Duramax in its factory trim is rated at 180 HP by GM and carries a full compliment of emissions equipment to keep it clean and quiet.  Backing up the new powerplant is the 6L50 transmission.  Both the engine and transmission use existing powertrain control modules which have allowed the team at Duramaxtuner.com to quickly gain access and make improvements. Over the past several months, we've worked with our customers and in-house on our truck to develop and test tuning for this platform. After hundreds of revisions, we're happy to have a product that significantly outperforms GM's calibration in power, driveability and mileage. 


By working through the engine and transmission calibrations together we significantly widened and raised the factory torque curve, settling on a peak of 460Ft-Lbs which is very near the rated capacity of the transmission.  With the wider torque curve, we're able to shift the truck sooner, and engage torque converter lockup sooner without bogging the truck.  This means less operating RPM and ultimately lower fuel consumption numbers.  Best of all, these calibrations work without any other modifications to the truck, meaning that you still get a quiet, clean, smokeless truck that can be returned to stock at any point.

Yea, this is gonna be a little sleeper.

Like all diesels, a tune won't be 12 extra horsepower. No, more like +50HP and +150 torque

The tunes are already flying for this truck. I think they are in the 500-600 torque already on a pretty sane tune with better fuel economy as well

The bedding is required, but they don't have it, so this will keep all four of them warmer and get the "Monkey off their back."

Well with the special day fast approaching and me being tired of getting yelled at for failing at getting the right thing for little girls, I might have it finally.

Our gifts will feed them, provide bedding, plant a spiritual seed, allow the little ladies to shop in two different stores, provide some fun artsy crafts to paint and color, and pay a bit of their dad's January rent.

Here it is before I get to wrapping this stuff up

I think you should try it and report on it's actual reliability.  You know, as a public service to the rest of us.  That would be very kind of you.  ::)

But for the record, my money is bet squarely on the inevitable "event" where it gets overloaded and you somehow manage to break the thing in half.
Well, you never know...Just might

But I'd have to compare it against the Power Wagon first.

Two totally different trucks, but If I could pull off buying another truck whilst keeping C-Max, it would have to be a friendly parking lot driver

Congrats on the new family member. Two weeks ago my wife rescued a 6year old Schnauzer from DesMoines. He is an amazing mutt and loves to help me drywall. He also has a thing for riding around in Patch...so he's become quite the valued companion already. Hoping your new addition brings you all similar enjoyment.
Shawn,

That one of those things that likes snackin' on screwdrivers? Likes swimmin' in ponds then jumpin' up on you afterward to share the pond scum? Likes sneakin' away with just one of your favorite wool socks? likes mud? likes truck upholstery (The taste)? One of those?
