Maybe Jake will have magic powers now.... and just by touching the block, the whole thing is treated with an unexplained sub-atomic process!
Black Flag actually sounds ok in Mp3.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) M |

what would it lose sound quality? I like Flag! and I've seen Rollins in concert too... damn that guy can put on a hell of a show, last 2 albums were "eh" but "weight", "end of silence" and "come in and burn" are GREAT!!! pretty good writer too... check out "get in the van" and "art to choke hearts" |

Jake,
I just talked with our corporate Dr. regarding your little escapade and he told me that about all that could be done if you walked in would be a general exam for entry/exit wounds and/or skin discoloration, respiratory and cardiac issues and possibly a blood test for CPK levels to detect any potential muscle damage. Based on what you have been saying, I myself (AND THIS IN NO WAY SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS MEDICAL ADVICE) would probably shake it off unless symptoms persist. |

Okay, went down to the EMT station.. They hooked me up to some things that look like my data logger and printed out something that appreared to be one totally screwed up dyno graph! Nothing on this baby was flat and I never sawTq and HP cross at 5,252 RPM!! LOL
Anyway my buddy said I'm okay, but to relax and see if the situation changes... So, that means I came home, gulped down a couple of Tylenol for the head ache grabbed a Peanut butter sandwich, mountain dew and went back to work on the 912... I am feeling a bit better now but still kind of dazed and confused.. When I did payroll earlier I gave my paycheck to Brent- He thought he had a huge pay cut! Damn this is not something I want to do again. |

You just need to get plenty of electrolytes. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

actually, that is exactly what Jake tells the racers, that's how you figure how to build them better the next time. Then again, there is only one Jake (we can make him better than before, better, stronger faster.....) |

glad to here your ticker still going good.
the thing about electrocution is, that it cooks you from the inside along the path that the current travels. from entry to exit. and can cause bad damage with nerves and blood vessals. i didn't want to scare you earlyier with this info.... if your like me i might not have gone. i dont like doctors or hospitals. |

Too bad. The probablilty of a person being struck by lightning again goes up substantially if you have been struck before. |

You were fortunate it sought ground through something other than you. About ten years ago a woman jogger in the Seattle area was hit directly and killed instantly. Blew/incinerated her clothes off. Doctors said she probably never knew what happened. Get a lightning rod or something to keep it away from you, if there is such an item. Glad you weren't seriously injured.

So a couple of years ago i went ove to the Museum of Science in Boston. They had this thing up on the wall that looked like a fuzzy glass tube. It was about 11/2" to 3" around and several feet long. It was a sand "tube" that had been made by a lighting strike on a beach. The sand had been fused like glass along the lighting path.
So if you hld colored dye packs in one hand a aluminium parts in the other can you anodize them? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) Glad your ok! My best, Mike D. |

The engine bay of a 912 with tires on it is actually a pretty good insulator. Tires + road - Good insulator |

I have had two close calls with lighting. One in AZ while I was driving. All my hair stood on end and a big flash happended just outside my car. Other than feeling wierd no real physical symptoms.
The other was a 150 foot redwood tree in my backyard that was hit by lightning. It blew the tree in two! The tree is about 75 feet tall now and growing back. I have a real respect for the power of nature. Glad youre ok! |

Had lightning strike a tree behind the garage at my house a few years ago. We were able to trace its path down the tree trunk, out of a root that was sticking out of the ground and into the garage. It was apparently attracted to an electric outlet on that wall where it burned up a radio that was plugged in there. It then travelled thru the power line into the house where it fried the microwave and the TV. My wife was laying on the couch and said she saw the lightning come out of the switch that controls the garage,go over her and out the window. She had a headache for a couple of days after that. I think her eyes might have been burned like the flash from welding to cause the headache. Pretty scary but we made a good profit with the insurance paying for the damages.
