"Dan Luke" wrote Or the pump is shedding carbon and fouling the system? Only if it is a pressure system, instead of a true vacuum system. Instruments run off of vacuum so that any carbon or other debris from a failed pump goes into the pump and out the exhaust, instead of into the instruments or plumbing. But you knew that and had a brain fart, right? g |

... You said it before I did, but I was thinking the same thing. Oscar Awards... most recent indication that you're nuts. http://www.nydailynews.com/front/sto...p-422609c.html // The bad news is you can lose the presidency of the united States even when you win the popular vote. But the good news is you can get an Oscar with fewer people than fit on a subway train. "There are three categories in the Oscar voting that require a special ballot," says an insider. "To vote for foreign, short film or documentary, you have to sign an affidavit that you have seen all the nominees." it's not enough to watch them at home on a DVD - Academy members have to attend an official screening. The snitch said fewer than 300 people requested the special ballot in the documentary category, which was won by Al Gore's "An inconvenient Truth" Sunday. But even that number is about 100 more than usual. An Academy rep confirms that of its 5,800 voting members, only about 200 typically file a ballot in the category. // |

. .. I think if Jay had a house on the beach in Banda Aceh a couple of Christmas seasons ago and someone told him a big wave was coming, he'd laugh and call them crazy. If they said it was coming because of GW, he'd been justified http://photoshow.comcast.net/mikenoel I'm a uniter, not a divider. - GWB, 1999. GWB got high marks from members of the Texas legislature, both D's and R's and especially minorities, for his ability to bring people together. Of course, Texas does not have the coastal and MSM crazies. |

wrote in : The bad news is you can lose the presidency of the united States even when you win the popular vote. Here's what comedian Bill Maher had to say about the "Winner" on the February 27, 2007 Tonight Show hosted by Jay Leno: This man. I mean, come on. Let's get real... The science is in on this question... The people who were defending him were saying he was just inarticulate, but 'inarticulate' doesn't explain foreign policy. I mean, it's not that complicated. The man is a rube. He is a dolt. He is a yokel on the world stage, a Gilligan who cannot find his ass with two hands. He is a vain halfwit, who interrupts one incoherent sentence with another incoherent sentence. I hope I'm not piling on... I'm just saying... Here's George Bush, the 'decider, deciding all on his own, that this is a good idea. This was not a recommendation from our commanders on the ground. This was not a recommendation from the Iraq Study Group, as you know. It's not supported by the American people. It's not supported by the Iraqi people. It's just President Charles-in-Charge, spitballin', thinkin' outside the bun, and saying to himself, "Everybody else is wrong. I alone know what the right answer is. I got everybody else's recommendations. I, you know, I talk to the Big Guy, so I know..." And even the Pope said he was wrong... This recovering alcoholic from Midland, Texas, he cannot be wrong, at any point. |

Waited a few minutes, nothing, but nothing changed. Unfortunately, the shop was closed by now so I left it on the ramp and took the bus home. Much more mystifying...after ALL power was off, engine off, key out, battery off, etc. the AI dial was spinning. Yes, that's right, spinning like a top. Fast. And it didn't seem to slow down, either. I didn't time it, but it just sat there spinning for at least 5 minutes. Perhaps I may be off on this, but if it seemed stable upside down, is it possible that it was accurately upside down so that the erecting mechanism was not able to get it the right way up? I wonder if you had resored vacuum after it started tumbling whether that would have enabled it to precess to upright (which may take several minutes)?

Turns out (politics aside) that all of you were close. When the next (#3) DG was installed, one of the hoses/tubes got pinched, effectively hosing the AI. The unit itself is fine, and the repairs have been completed and tested. Unfortunately, I won't be able to check anything until Saturday due to anticipated horrendous winds in Colorado. Thanks all for the suggestions. |
