it [the blue one] has the halo, which didn't come along till 3 maybe 4 years back.
but it doesn't have a few things the formula one cars have had for quite some time.
the side plates are wrong, and it doesn't have the central pick-point they been using for man,, 10-12 years anyway.
the nose is wrong for an indy car, But it looks like it may have a DRS system on the rear wing.
formula 3 or 2 maybe, it's not a One and it isn't a formula-E either, might could be an indy lights car.
the red one? i got nuthin.
it has some features, but that cockpit is unfamiliar for sure.
it certainly isn't a DPMS or proto-type GTDP though.

Took the Whelen, the 6.5/06 & a 223Wilde to the range.
The 223 just needed zero W/new scope. ONE SHOT, W/bore site!!!
The 6.5 also had a new optic and proved to have issues as small adjustments moved impacts inches.
The Whelen was good but didnt shoot loads I brought to test well. That only has a Burris 1-5 Post reticule. Not super conducive to tiny groups. I should mount a 6-18 to prove accuracy then switch back & practice.
I also was having issue with 6.5 last trip. Hard bolt lift. Its a Mauser 1909 Argentine action, Knowing the loads should not be hot I was worried about bolt set back (somewhat common in Mausers) But most all of these loads did not have this problem. One 147g match load W/4831 exhibited this but with 100% normal Primers and no case head expansion. I have in the past had VERY poor case life cause if split necks. I have been stringently ad hearing to annealing procedures with them (& 7.65 formed cases) and greatly redused the issue BUT I WONDER if soft necks and shoulders could be "sticking" if I have a rough chamber?
I had this ine built in 1995, but truthfully doubt if it has 200 rounds theu it.

Just returned from the marina to inspect the pontoon. Other than some negligible soot, everything looks good. The sunken roof of Dock 3 was not quite directly across from my slip.
Decided to drive down early, before salvage crews and such, arrive. Had to slow to a crawl, so as not to hit three deer and numerous squirrels and chipmunks, going and coming.

Hot dogs on the grill for supper then drove near the fireworks area, no, all full. Went to the rise near house and sat in chairs on the grass. Mostly foreigners watching. Good show but got a few chiggers or ants. Elderly Indian gal (led by son who forgot a chair) tried to go down the hill, gave up our chairs to her, don't need her in the hosp. Old folks an 30 deg hill don't work.

Polish the chamber. Not hard to do.

Spent the 4th sick. Not sure what it is/was, but didn't get much done. That's about it. I did roll up measly 6 bales, find a previously thought to be perfectly healthy 2 year old doe dead and did chores, but it was a struggle. Sat down on the glider on the back deck and woke up 2 hours later. Went to bed and woke up 11 hours later. Whatever it is I'm sick of it!
Hope to work on the skid steer today- in the rain.

Thanks, guys, for the formula car information. I haven't followed any type of racing since just before the turn of the century, and before computer controlled driving aids became the norm. 1997? I know Formula 1 is all about innovation, but a race car without a clutch pedal and gear shift lever is race car emasculation.
For sure the cars weren't electric, and were larger than what I remember Formula 2 cars as being. But wait. Maybe the cars were electric but had computer controlled sound systems that played engine and gear shift noises, at the appropriate places round the track.
Next up, all electric driverless cars pre-programmed for the course and conditions, and championships going to the car manufacturer and computer geek who amass the most points.
What would Tazio Nuvolari think?

They call that "E Sports" at one of our local institutes of higher education. Couch potatoes sitting in a chair playing video games...and that's their major! Yeah, that's a real thing. And people wonder why I have such a low amount of respect for the whole "college/university degree" thing!

Flitz on a mop, or good old 4/0 steel wool, and keep it moving. You won't get the neck likely, but the body/shoulder should be doable. You can get fancy and make a chamber cast and use very fine abrasive lapping compound too. Should be info out there on how to proceed, it's not rocket science though.

Timed things just right and got the skid steer fixed without getting soaked...well, in rain water at least. That thing holds I believe 7 gallons of ATF in the gear boxes and I had at least a quart on my clothes and skin. Ended up being a broken link, a "half link" I think it's called. Took more time to fish the chain around the sprockets and adjust the tension than actually fixing the chain. I'm back in business in that regard. Just as I was finishing my wife caught me having a dizzy spell and falling down for no reason. Got yelled at. That means she still cares, right? 
I guess I'm not quite at 100% yet.
Mentioned I lost a doe yesterday. Well last evening when I checked the herd I saw a ewe I've been nursing looking like she was about ready for the grave. No clue what was the problem, but I've been dosing her with nutritional supplements as she wasn't eating much so she at least has some energy to maybe heal up. Poor thing was just laying there groaning. Thought she'd be DOA this morning when I got out there. Amazingly she was up and eating! Gotta call that a win, so far anyway. Our big issue here is worms, about 127 different kinds of worms and internal parasites that can cause everything from a not so shiny coat to massive diarrhea and death within a couple hours. This doesn't look like that. Might be something growing out there they've never had experience with before.

That would be the Harley fuel cell elec. bike. In school the engg day festival, we had slot cars, kid players vs Athena computer. Much fun running cars to 'record' the best 'pedal' control. Also had a 'talking' (via mic) robot with head/arms that got moved by an auto power seat control. Motor/solenoid/speedo cables & gears.
Yea, got a GK that is in the HS robotics program. I keep sending him stuff so he will realize what real robotics is. Yea, I know, dangling particle. English/lit was not my major.

Great news! You was gonna wipe those sooty parts down before using it again anyway.

the F-1 cars are already hybrids, they have to harvest enough energy to get the upmost speed using both the engine and the motor.
as far as just programming them to run without a driver.... chuckle.
they are pretty much already there.
the driver only has some input about what the car is doing, the engineer will tell him what condition the tires/engine/hydraulics/etc. are in, and even tell them what time they want them to run their laps.
the driver is pretty much reduced to being a steering wheel operator anymore.
