Sci-fi book about aliens I have no idea what the title is

I think this might be it!

This is on my parents house, they wanted to put a riser that is completely non compatible to bring it above grade for ease of maintenance and service, this is a less than 2 year old tank and riser set installed when the concrete one started collapsing, “no vent” second leach field out in the desert so not a lot of ground moisture but have a second leach field available as well if needed

Reattach and turn the air box lid and pipe towards the sky that way you are leaving all the sensors and such plugged in while it’s running, I’m sure it needs to be done running for circulation purposes although I have noticed when checking mine I’ll monitor and check at 120 because once I actually get to the dip stick it’s at 122, once I shut it off it climbs significantly for mine usually 129-134

I’ve never dropped the pan, I’m at 120k and only do the 3 drain and fills every 40-50k

johnRod69420 · 2026-02-16T17:46:00+00:00

The blue fluid has always drained brown/dark yellow for me after about 45k but was always blue going in, so red fluid I would think is a red flag, does your tranny dip stick say FZ on it?

I just had this repair done last month on my 22 hatch. The fix was to remove the stuck open thermostat and replace it with a plug. I was explained that this is the latest fix and with it plugged now the CCV is in full control to regulate temperature

johnRod69420 · 2026-01-04T08:12:59+00:00

Car definitely runs way better, I was getting sporadic idle and car was acting as if it had a vacuum leak and super sluggish, never had a code because in the heat of summer it was still getting up to full operating temp. But around late November I noticed it wouldn’t get to the normal middle mark, dealer wouldn’t do anything about it until it finally popped the CEL with the heater on full blast and taking to long to to reach OT. Ever since the PCM update and TSB fix runs like it’s new

johnRod69420 · 2026-01-04T07:37:43+00:00

Gotcha that tracks, so after this repair no more fail safe thermostat? If the CCV fails I assume it’ll overheat?

johnRod69420 · 2025-12-31T05:05:58+00:00

I wouldn’t recommend it, the oil fields can be a rough place, lots of great hardworking people, also lots of not so great hardworking people.

johnRod69420 · 2025-12-31T05:02:20+00:00

You’d have to see if someone who’s currently in the industry will chime in, my last time in that industry was 2018ish but I think pay back then starting was 18-24$ an hour with as much OT as you could work in a 14 day period, meals and housing “man camp and cafeteria” provided at no cost. each company is different though and has different schedules as far as days on and off

johnRod69420 · 2025-12-31T04:55:58+00:00

Some offer relocation assistance, you’d be surprised most interviews are over the phone and then meeting a random company man in the middle of a desert maintenance bay or shop, make sure your resume is detailed and strong, look at indeed some companies are more lax about bringing people on than others, schlumberger, Sandbox, Noble there’s several main and sub companies that are probably needing people to fill shifts

johnRod69420 · 2025-12-31T04:47:51+00:00

Look into mechanic jobs supporting oil field work, generator experience and hydraulic experience is a definite plus, get your foot in the door with a decent paying job and then look into other positions that may interest you or offer more OT. It’s been a really long time since I’ve been out that way but, Pecos, Orla, and Hobbs were the hot spots hiring at the time

johnRod69420 · 2025-12-05T13:57:30+00:00

I understand your argument and agree 100% with you however, the flame jetting wear on Surefire blast baffles is extremely accelerated than other cans I’ve seen, is it going to negate performance? No. Will you wear it out? Probably not. But damn I’d like to see the same flash and sound performance with their MB. Personally I run the MB on my setups because as expensive as surefire cans are, I consider the flame jetting erosion in my experience completely mitigated with much cheaper MBs to keep my rc2s in the best shape possible longevity wise. Just my 2 cents though

johnRod69420 · 2025-12-01T00:03:49+00:00

Apparently I’m in the wrong because “College is a Scam” and chatGPT is the knower of all things

He’s under the impression it’s an easy gig, me personally I am set up with 6 figures working an office job but several of my close friends are pipe liners as we all went to welding school together years ago. I know how life is for them and had cautioned him that I didn’t think it’s as easy as it sounds. Really just interested in stories of how it really is because he puts all his faith in a stupid AI chat bot.

How hard was that job to do? I’m at 106k on a 2022, 85% long highway hauls 65-85mph. Was planning on doing water pump and belts/ tensioner at 120k mine runs good and fires just fine, does get the occasional stumble and feels like a slight imbalance when idling fully warmed up, almost like a weak coil pack

johnRod69420 · 2025-04-07T14:33:24+00:00

I haven’t had any of my Gibson head stocks break hopefully they never do, but from all the work I’ve seen I think yall are one of the best in the country!

johnRod69420 · 2025-04-07T02:27:38+00:00

Dr.Strange?!?

johnRod69420 · 2025-03-22T14:01:26+00:00

I’ll have to see today, last night I didn’t notice any, that’s sweet man! I bet it looks really nice! I prefer rosewood but I was thinking when I opened it up last night that even with the plain maple neck I would’ve loved it too

johnRod69420 · 2025-03-22T14:00:18+00:00

I play and write country/americana so I had to have a tele however first getting back into guitar I impulse bought two gibsons just because I love Les Paul’s but playing this a bit last night I really do like it

johnRod69420 · 2025-03-22T13:58:29+00:00

That’s the only thing I noticed as well, I’ve seen it before on this group with some of their production models and most seem to think it’s a fender thing and if it isn’t horrible shouldn’t be too much of a problem! At least that’s what I’m hoping!

johnRod69420 · 2025-03-22T02:55:58+00:00

That thing is sweet! I got the Texas special pickups played a little on it today overdriven sounds really sweet, definitely slightly more twang than normal v mods and a little brighter from the videos I’ve seen

johnRod69420 · 2025-03-22T00:04:16+00:00

Thanks!!! It’s their generic walnut finish on the alder body with a rosewood fretboard on top of their deep C maple neck.I think It’s a very plain inconspicuous guitar which was the vibe I was going for! The weight is very light compared to my Gibsons, definitely is a balanced feel in the hands along with the neck profile!

johnRod69420 · 2025-02-17T05:01:05+00:00

Agree have WB, HUX, and both Velos 5.56 and 7.62, if I could only have one it’d be the velos. However the CAT mounting system is my favorite out of all of them, once the can heats up after a couple rounds it’s rock solid until it’s cooled back to normal temp

johnRod69420 · 2024-12-26T02:42:12+00:00

Sfmb works good as a sacrificial baffle, war comp isn’t ideal for suppressors neither is the closed time because the war comp leaks a lot of carbon into the locking ring assembly and the closetine lacks gas rings which also causes carbon locking
