![]() It’s a throwback to how things used to be, and the comradery with fellow competitors. ![]() “We can show people you can have fun without a lot of money, or a laptop for tuning. 1966 67 68 69 Camaro Chevelle Corvette Nova SB Chevy Cam. “We’re on Sick Week as rednecks having fun,” said Derek. Grip Wheel, Retro-Sound, Mild built 383 Stroker Motor around 400HP with Scat. The interior is mostly stock with a 6-point roll bar, a wiring job Derek describes as “old school breakers, like what might have been used on the Apollo mission,” and a 5-point set of racing belts dated August 1988.ĭerek will upgrade safety and maintenance items, but wants to campaign the Chevelle as closely to as it was last raced. The Chevelle wears Cragar Super Trick wheels on all four corners, and the suspension is mostly stock with the addition of ladder bars on the back. A Turbo 350 transmission and 4.88 gears in the factory 12-bolt rear end transfer the power. This Chevelle is a beauty, regardless, and deserves to be in the hands of someone who will give it the TLC it needs.The 1971 Chevelle sports a 406 cubic inch small block with factory Chevrolet ‘double-hump’ cylinder heads, an Edelbrock single plane intake, and Holley carburetor. Does he get it running once again? What does it take? Check out the video and see for yourself. He makes a mental list of all the things he must take care of on Saturday and Sunday to have it running before he attempts a whopping 500-mile journey home. Derek also plans to search the Internet for a new set of wheels, seeing as the “Donut from the 80s” does not emit any sort of confidence on that Chevelle.Īfter inspecting the vehicle, Derek learns that the car had not been plated since 1979 nor has it been run for many years. He plans to check the plugs and test the compression to see if the motor is compromised or if it can even drive 'One of those 500 miles.' Then, he intends on juicing the battery life up to get it cranking and see if there’s any transmission issues. , 1969 Chevelle 500 mile Rescue., Installing New Rocker Panels On The Square. What we will say is this, he also utters the words “Oh my!” along with several sighs and an “Oh man!” when viewing the hood for the first time. We pulled home a forgotten about junkyard 1957 Chevrolet Belair that was last plated in 1979 Two of my boys age 8 and 6 help me put a fresh 355 Small Block. , Vice Grip Garage Independence Chevelle., Merry Christmas to all of you. We won’t spoil everything for you, though. Upon opening the trunk, the words “Oh boy!” left Derek’s mouth and probably many of the viewers watching the video. Someone Lucky Will Scoop This 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Convertible SS 454 The owner also threw in fenders (estimated to cost about $50), which he received at a swap meet.Ĭould This 1966 Corvette Be Any More Perfect? I need to put a few finishing touches on this old classic car b. ![]() At the front, the windshield is in good condition and intact, so no cellophane needed. The 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu that was previously for sale sold to a nice guy overseas. ![]() ![]() Moving on to the exterior, the vehicle needs rear quarters on both sides, as they are stripped to the point of 'weight reduction', as Derek says. The interior of the Chevelle is in fairly decent shape, though the smell leaves a lot to be desired. As you can see, the journey for this classic is already off to a great start. The best part? The 1969 Chevrolet Chevelle two-door was in a town that he initially thought was in Iowa, but it was actually in Illinois. Derek Bieri of Vice Grip Garage in Minnesota recently posted a video detailing his experience doing just that. Since Roadworthy Rescues started on Motortrend TV, I’ve been catching up on Derek’s original YouTube show. While purchasing a car sight unseen is always a risk, this time it turned into a 'resto' project, before even getting it home. Im getting closer to finishing up the front end rebuild on this classic 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle known as 'Independence'. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Those congressmen work on average just two days out of every five-day workweek, earn at a minimum $174,000 a year (Speaker Boehner gets a whopping $223,500 for not doing his job), are vested for retirement benefits after only five years on what I laughingly call “the job,” get federally subsidized healthcare (which those thirty want to deny people who make one tenth as much as they), and they continue to receive those pay and all those benefits while your air traffic controllers are forced to do without. The Control Room of a Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON)Īnd while these people are working for free, I’d like for you to consider this: Those congressmen? The ones who before the last election proclaimed the 2012 elections a “ referendum on Obamacare?” The congressmen who are now having a temper tantrum because, at their core, they apparently only believe in democracy when it suits them? How long before that radar control room guiding your airliner is staffed like this?: These are the professionals who your congressman is stiffing on pay for work they’ve already done.) How long do you think you could financially hold on under such conditions? How long do you think it’ll be before some of these controllers have to resign to find jobs that pay the bills? How long do you think it’ll be before retirement-eligible controllers with 20 or 25+ years of badly needed experience and who are currently mentoring an already far-too-young and inexperienced group of new controllers decide that they should go into retirement just to pay the bills? (Controllers, by the way, are only allowed to work to the last day of the month in which they turn 56 because of the stresses inherent to their jobs, and because before that reduction in the retirement age, very few controllers could make it to mandatory retirement because of failing health and deteriorating abilities and reaction times. Two weeks from tomorrow the amount in their paychecks drops to Z-E-R-O despite working another 80 or more hours during the next pay period. Those controllers received that bad news when they got their “pay” statements last Thursday. Tomorrow, these controllers will be paid for only 48 of the 80 or more hours they worked - the 48 hours they worked before the shutdown that occurred just thirteen days ago. All because of thirty-some-odd Congressmen and at least one delusional, grand-standing Senator from Texas who has ambitions beyond the senate seat he’s held for less than ten months. In myriad other busy facilities across this great nation. Think that’s fair? That’s what’s happening right now, this very second. They are required by federal law to work. ![]() These already overworked, stressed controllers have mortgages to make, utilities to pay, car payments, grocery bills, kids in college. Let’s tell those controllers that they have to go to work, but a group of about thirty congressmen and a senator or two who didn’t agree with the results of the last election are going to refuse to allow the United States Congress to pay them. Throw into that mix an inflight emergency or two and perhaps an aircraft with minimum fuel that needs to get on the ground right now. Imagine working New York TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach Control) during a busy inbound rush of air carriers, failing equipment, and a line of thunderstorms pushing into the area from the west. It’s certainly more stressful than being, say, a congressman or a senator. ![]() Take it from a former controller who has in his 34 years in the business worked at some pretty busy facilities under less than ideal conditions with obsolete or failing equipment and uncooperative weather: There are few if any jobs more stressful than air traffic control. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you're female and flirt with her anyway, she doesn't seem to mind - it won't go anywhere, but she'll humour you. ![]() If you flirt with Cassandra you'll notice she can laugh at herself she's very easy to tease, and she doesn't mind when you do it, despite her jokes about putting you back in prison. Plus, that accent - and who doesn't like a woman who can cut you in half? Why wouldn't you want her in your party? Okay, she's pretty devout, and that can be a bit off-putting, and she does tend to rush into action without thinking, but her determination and focus can be very attractive. The first companion you recruit, Cassandra is a perfect tank who can also be developed into an excellent damage dealer or controller. ![]() Let's break down our options, shall we? I'll try to avoid any specific story or scene spoilers, but the character's sexualities and some personality aspects will be discussed, so don't read on if you want to discover these wonderful people for yourself. I'm not going to be caught unawares this time! If love blooms on the battlefield, then so be it - but I refuse to let it bloom with someone completely inappropriate just because they have a cute smile and a can-do attitude. With this in mind, I went off and really researched the romance options available this time around. I identified this pattern in my life some few months ago, which allowed me to hit a new record of not getting into disastrous relationships, but the mirroring of my Dragon Age experience only occurred to me when starting Inquisition recently. I apologise to my long string of exes, but there it is. But then I flirt wildly with absolutely everyone, and fall head over heels in love with the first person who takes the bait. I realised recently that my approach to Mass Effect and Dragon Age romances is very similar to how I go about it in real life: I have some pre-conceived notions of who I might like to do kisses with, and I sort of tailor myself (my character, my lifestyle) to enable that. The complexities of the plot the branching story lines the moral dilemmas the constant juggle of companion priorities the combat the explore content. Dragon Age: Inquisition is packed full of potential love interests for Inquisitors looking for a more intimate form of "companion". ![]() ![]() ![]() Start on the left and go right in the Import GUI.Ĭhoose between Copy or Move at the top. ![]() Now you should see your photos coming in. Drag the “Original” folder (or the test folder) into the main window in Lightroom Classic. My recommendation is to test on duplicates first by copying some photos from “Original” to somewhere else. Do “Get Info” on the “Original” folder to see if the file count seems right. You will see several folders, the interesting one is the “Original” folder. Right click it and choose “Show Package Content”. On your mac, check that Photos.app setting has been Download Originals to this mac. To import from the whole Photos library might cause some duplicates. Has anyone exported their entire Photos library, and how did you accomplish it? I’d really like the photos to be organized in a folder structure of Year > Month > Day, and with as much preserved metadata as possible. It’s only $10 per month and it looks like Adobe has made it easier to cancel. The full app costs $50.Īnother option, and maybe it’s worth trying, is using Lightroom to export my photos. That seems to work fine, but the folders inside the package are weirdly organized. I’ve tried a few experiments with directly copying photos from the Photos Library package. The ones I have tried seem to strip out the Live Photo component, which I want to preserve. I’ve experimented with the trial version of Photos Takeout, but it’s frustrating since you can’t choose which photos to export. Photos freezes up and I get an “out of memory” error despite have 40 GB of RAM and 100 GB of SSD free.

Once upon a time, mining skill determined how many precious ore stones dropped from mining, but now there is a straight 25%/33%/100% chance for level stone, vein stone, and small cluster stone, respectively. Urist McGlassmaker Ĭommon concerns about the starting skills: The jeweler will pick the skill up quickly enough that the 5% of cutting jobs that are large gems or gem crafts will be masterwork soon enough! Any no-skill peasant can cut them as well, if not as quickly. Why no gem cutting? There's no quality to cutting small gems. Migrants who arrive as Master Craftsdwarves (after a careful check for vampirism,) and the rare apprentice who shows rare talent (through a mood, usually,) are similarly honored. My starting seven are meant to end up famous craftsmen in comfortable craft halls, and while they will perform some other tasks early on, once lesser dwarves have arrived, they'll be allowed to focus on their Art. I have avoided assigning skills that are easily trained (mining, woodcutting) produce "no quality" goods (wood burning, strand extracting, furnace operating) or ephemeral/peasant goods (brewing, cooking, cheesemaking, wood crafting.) Skills that I find "insufficiently dwarfy" are also excluded. Likewise, I grew tired of important jobs and constructions being delayed, and now allow second/third wave dwarves to handle architecture.Īs always, each has at least one good, dwarfy, moodable skill as its main, and a bit of discipline so they don't run screaming from elf corpses like little cowards. Previously, the embark profile included skills for pushing one dwarf or another to the top of the list as expedition leader, bookkeeper, and broker, but I've come to prefer to use second or third wave migrants for those jobs, allowing the Starting Seven to continue their labors uninterrupted. I've trimmed down some social and miscellaneous skills for this edition, and bumped up some skill levels proportionally. ![]() I'm interested in your feedback!
