Hoxxy, saw a couple of topics on halfshafts you were involved in............

just a FYI............. when they are designed, tested, validated they do have "fuses" in the design to allow fracture due to overloaded conditions without damaging major driveline components........................

typically a smaller diameter area, machined surface in close proximity............ and then you also may get an outlier which has a material defect and fractures in another unplanned or designed for location..............

the one picture with the clamp on brackets to prevent them from bouncing around looked like it was the best for how these parts are designed and function.................

can provide more info. if needed.............. just would need to do that via email for confidentiality reasons................ just realize they are tested with over 1000 foot pounds of rotational force with one end held stationary during development without fracturing occurring on a regular basis
I just don't seem to be able to wrap my head around the break point on the post with the broken axle, unless it broke at two places and the threaded end is missing.

I'm going to take 1/4 x 1 plastic bar and form it for the axle loops.
The rules don't specify material, just size, so I'll make it lightweight.

What is up homilies.......er.......homies........ minus whatever outside......so this is what the ice age was all about.......interesting....... but not for me....... I'm a warm weather guy with lots of sunshine and fun things to do........ ok bar boys time to start getting ready for the warm weather.....

the Hammy's party bus is getting a rebuild with new gearing so fat folks don't have to pump so hard........ Ruxy will be returning as our tour guide and driver....... he is preparing a new list of places to take party goers that will be fun and exciting.......almost as exciting as his infamous Ghetto tour last year that had everyone peddling for their lives to escape..... we did charge extra for that one......




The Ham Camp will be ready to go out in the ally......by the green door for those adventurous souls to get a taste of the wilds...... this year there will be a real fire in a 55 gal drum to cook over....... very cool.....




...one of the basers daily drivers has been liberated by the GS'ers for our new concessions area where we can charge even more outrageous prices for stuff because its so convenient for the basers to use...... stop in soon and get stuff that you need now........ you need some of this stuff.....




got lots to look forward to in the coming year......and don't forget our tax consultant will do your taxes cheap.......so come on in basers......only a $1,000 preparation fee........guaranteed tax return every time.....even if its someone elses return......... no worries mon........





Have a great day Hambones...........and a special shout out to TeeBee on his birthday today........ got a bottle of Honey Jack D wid his name on it.....

I am fairly certain those young ladies would want nothing to do with a bunch of old farts like most of us. Still nice to drool over, though.....

I'm 58 but told all the time that I look to be mid 40's. Married 32.5 years so I'll probably stay satisfied with my current situation.

It's even better when you're retired and officially a geezer. aka old fart.
You can get away with groping as long as you drool, slur speech, appear to lose balance, and have half your flowered t-shirt tucked in your two-sizes-too-big brown dress slacks.

I thought I just saw something on the news about a 95 year old man getting harassed for supposedly groping his nursing home help.......................

at 95 he could claim dementia and just about get away with anything...............

maybe one of the OLDER GS'ers like Ruxxy or H1 could provide additional details................... just askin'............

.....Hoxxy is sharing from his personal notes here guys...... I'm writing this down...... I have added the personal touch of having a wad of $100 dollar bills hanging out of different pockets....

finally was able to see the previously posted pictures from H1.................. my initial thoughts were he must have fallen out of his barcalounger and bumped his head............

knowing that the North American International Auto Show is arriving shortly here in the Motor City............... there always seems to be much discussion about the latest and greatest upcoming models............ since the base camp also is represented here in the Motor City......... rather than whip up a new model that may or may not reach production............ the following baser models will be on display.................

saw H1's pedal bus and just shook my head in disbelief........... if that was the best thing the GS'ers could come up with......... wonder what they will think of the baser camp bus......



fast, sleek and narrow........ quite unlike the widebodied pedal version developed out in the corn fields of mid America...........

and then to help any baser transport any items they need to be moved.............. a restoration on an old Peterbilt was completed in the alley behind the hovel...........

kinda puts all others to shame............................ rented it to Reliable Carriers here in MI for use as a promotion vehicle to get more funds for the lower level tavern..................

So...I'm at the local watering hole quaffing a (ok, many) Blue Moon when a couple walk by the table. My bleary, blood-shot eyes notice he is wearing a Corvette shirt. Hey, I ask, what do you drive? His reply..."I have a 2014 Corvette, the first of that style...and I'm from Nebraska". Well, flop house mouse, am I impressed...
But, I have to ask...was that a relative of yours H1?

Yuppers...I slid my hand up her leg (turned out it was the table) and found this sticky gooey stuff. Did someone lose their gum?
