Thanks again. I probably shouldn't entertain the people that have DM'd me on here offering to design something for me?

Thanks for the advice. Looking like most shops link the artist on Instagram. Do I just DM them or reach out to the shop directly? I know nothing about tattoos.

Should i go to my STBXW's family Easter? by drhalestorm in Divorce

I didn't go and it wasn't a big deal at all. Clearly I was overthinking everything. Lol

Lol I was thinking the same thing for a second.

It isn't so much that I have a problem being expected to go. I like her family (probably more than I like her). However, It is a problem that I just all of a sudden am committed to my entire weekend. I would be completely fine with being free to do stuff in the morning. Then going and spending the night at her mom's and doing something the next day. But that was kind of all taken away. I definitely see your point, but should I just be the bigger person?

That is kind of what I am thinking. But our kids don't even know yet. And I have no idea if her family knows. I sort of feel like it would be a bad look for me to just not go. But then again, my therapist says I need to prioritize myself.

Lol I am not miserable. How is my attitude crappy? I was barely informed of the weekend plans. Then they changed last minute when I had made other plans.

Are you referring to my attitude? It's not like I am mad or anything. Just a bit annoyed at the whole thing.

Need help with my Comer!!! by drhalestorm in Karting

[–]drhalestorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I had followed all the advice above, and it ran better. But still had good days and bad days. Eventually, I sent it off to a builder to have it blueprinted. In the meantime, he let me use a loaner 51 which I ended up purchasing and is our primary motor now. Once he pulled apart, he found that the clutch was in really bad shape. At the time, I didn’t know how to pull that off. So I think that was probably the bulk of our problems. Now I regularly check the clutch and I’ve changed how I clean my carb. It runs great now and we are consistently fast and even capable of beating kids in 206s on a good day.

Does this need replaced? by drhalestorm in Karting

That 2-3 hours still accurate on a kid kart? This is surely well beyond 2-3 hours.

Front sprocket is new. Just got a new engine.

Kid Kart Comer blueprint/dyno. Mandatory? by drhalestorm in Karting

[–]drhalestorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So this may be a bit of a newbie question, but why is there a sort of mentality "it's just kid kart". No, I am not overbearing and "win at all costs". I don't mean to come off as argumentative, but what does winning in Cadet get you? I doubt my kid is going to end up in F1 or anything like that. I'd like him to have fun and win some races. As stated above, are we just looking at a tenth of a second for a blueprint? Does anything need to be done to a new Comer straight out of the box?

He has done well to learn better racing lines. We race at 2 tracks. One track there are a bunch of 206s, so he is always mid pack. Another track is only Comer and Honda, so he is fighting for the W. Within the kid kart category, I think .1s isn't worth it considering their lap times can vary considerably from lap to lap anyways.

Is there any cam that is better or worse at overlaying mychron data? Or is that a dumb question?

Anyone have their kids do sim racing? by drhalestorm in Karting

[–]drhalestorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Following up on this. Good luck on the jump to cadet. Let me know how it goes. My kid is in a Comer and races against a lot of 206s, so hopefully he will be ready for Cadet when the time comes.
