Ot-Expansion slots

[JIPJOBXX]

Just what is an expansion slot? Well it the extra holes in you belt buckle.

..When used in reference to a computer probably refers to adding memory,

In an internal combustion engine probably refers to constant clearance piston design...

I thought is was that thing in the deck of a bridge that you hate to go over on your Motorcycle...

[Young Ed]

Greg I don't even like those things in a car! Just doesn't seem right to look down and see water through the bridge

That would be an expansion joint.

[greg g]

Why? they don't join anything together, they allow things to seperate, hopefully not to far....

should they be called a seperate???? Or perhaps a disjoint would be better.

Does a roach clip work on an expansion joint:confused:

[Plymouthy Adams]

depends on what you are expanding Don..feed your head....talk about a throw back to the 70's

expansion joint in bridges..I never like the all metal decking of the bridges crossing the Inter-Coastal Waterway..slick especially when wet, no warm fuzzies if crossing on a motorbike for sure..

They got one of those in downtown Cleveland, Ohio on the route to the west side. About a half mile section of all metal. Used to scare the crap out of me when I'd forget about it.

The one we had here got closed and blown up. The last one I went over was the couple mile long one between the 2 halves of michigan on our way to detroit.

Used to ride across the Brooklyn Bridge going and coming fom work on a MC. The deck is a metal grid with concrete poured over it. The concete wears exposing the gid, and each square get concave. The little pockets become little puddles whenit rains.

So between the hydraplaining through the water, the traction was provided by polished metal.

Did you know that our large aircraft carriers have expansion joints on the flight decks? Anyway my personel expansion joint has gone down one inch in the last two months 210 to197 this morning!

Good for you! Sounds like you need a "recession slot".......Tim

[Reg Evans]

I've used up all the "expansion slots" on my belt this winter.

It's time for rice cakes with dry tuna,fruit cocktail and no fat cottage cheese. Crap !

I'll be rewarded by having to use the "contraction slots" on my belt hopefully.

Do they close them before or after they blow them up?

[Don Coatney]

and no fat cottage cheese.

Same as smearcase??

It was closed for quite a while and then it was apparently easier to explode it into the mississippi and pick up the pieces then to take it down.
