This afternoon, I got the box down from the closet shelf,
where I keep my cajones. Buckled the Mrs into the Crypt
Car and turned the key............... NADA!!! No fire.

Tried a second crank- "Huston-we have ignition!"

No trial run, left the hood straight off and headed for
the beach highway. Downshifted into 2nd, punched it and
blew off slow poke tan Miata. (felt pretty good, I admit. )

Pulled into the biker bar with a bunch of "thumbs up" from
our locals and a coupla tall cold ones for me and the Mrs.
I admit, to 75+ mph tops on the ride home. (bad boy Dale,
bad!!)


This brings the Crypt Car to 100+ miles driven without a

Hey Tomster,

I was just passing thru & read your thd. There are`nt too many people on this earth that are familiar with "INCONEL" mat`l.

How do you know about it?

Just Curious,

I sell a lot of it, either stamped or machined for my customers. We do a lot of aerospace and specialized medical applications with I625 and I718. We mainly use the Hastelloy's for real high end aero applications.
 
Right Tom!....good example.

Now back to our intrepid TR6 expert in Puerto Rico, Dale, "the Earl of Todd" for a Hollywood update.

Take it away dale.................

You will be a You Tube mega star, kind of like Tom Cruise, but not like him or anything.
