    you're looking for a tannish color. black would indicate a rich condition, and white would indicate a lean condition, so somewhere in the middle is good.

    Nice post Chuck, I've seen that before somewhere. That's definitely a useful chart for all. :D

    Yo Fubar, yeah we trade bros. I do alot of high end kitchens around Jersey, not to mention I'm your basic GC. Doin it on my own for 20+ years now. Money's good, the people suck. My wife, friends, and I built our house 7 years ago, still ain't 100% done. I'll be gettin my permit for my front porch next week, one of the last few things left to do.

    You definitely running lean, less fuel, increased heat, hence the blueing pipes. How long have you had the bike?

    (How come us ugly guys always get good looking wives?? :D :roflmao: :D )

    Ain't a carpenter, wasn't born one, can't be one, don't intend on being one,
    I can cut a board three times and still be too short, my patience will not last long enough to get the job finished. I've ripped doors off buildings cause off my own screw ups, I can make women and children run for there lives and dockworkers and sailers blush. now if it's iron I have no problem, refurb your petercar sure, wireup some funky down low chicken lights lets do it. just don't put wood in front of me
    oh ya I sure am glad I'm ugly:roflmao:
