You have that effect on people too!

Evening all. And good night.

 

Evenin' all!

Nice night out tonight. Much better that the misty fog we had this AM . Wasn't cold just damp. Made for a great time changing the spark plugs on Mama's T&C. The thing runs MUCH better though. It'd been throwing a misfire code for a bit. Plugs all looked good but #2 was something like .010" too large a gap. I put in all new ones but kept the old too. Gonna clean them up and keep them for spares.


When does it get shaved?......

 

Yeah

Nite All

 

For your Geritol pills...

You have no room to talk...
Sadly, I didn't think of that... I must be slipping...

You know, this reminds me of a fight I got in one time. One day, this dude said something about my girlfriend. I didn't know him, I was sure he didn't know either of us, so I beat him down to the ground pretty good and gave him a good kick. It wasn't really personal, I just was teaching him some manners. As I was walking away with my gf, he sits up a little, and makes another lewd comment. I came back to give him the seconds that he obviously wanted, and beat his kidneys in until he screamed like a small child. I heard a rabbit scream like this one time when one of our bull dogs got it.

Then I kicked his teeth in.

Not sure why I thought of this when you said that. Just saying.

A pleasant evening to the rest of you. Washed the bike tonight, drank a few beers.

 

Yeah, but I had to pile on you know?



I went and got that tool lot on CL I told yall about. From the ad I knew there was a 99% chance I was taking it before I ever looked at it. I figured the lady selling was either sticking it to an ex or selling stuff from a dad or granddad and that passed. It was stuff from her dad. It been about a year and a half and she was finally ready to have the rest of it go It sorta of derailed my plans. I fully intended to grab the lot and keep the tools I needed and sell the rest to recoup the cost. After talking to her, I couldn't. Her dad was a Marine. He was an electrical engineer. Had some neat tools, definitely vintage and great finds. And this was stuff that had already been gone through by her, her mom and uncles and I think even a brother. I would have loved to seen the collection before. You get an idea of the kind of person the guy was by looking at his tools and how he kept things. Wrenches, sockets,ratchets, snips, levels, vise, breaker bar, channel locks pipe wrenches, engraver, solder guns, compression tester rpm reader, pipe fittings, potentiometers (wow), feeler gauges, punches, screw drivers, nut drivers, drill bits, hex sets, adapters, extensions...stuff from USA, Germany, Taiwan, Japan.Craftsman V series, Pennecraft, Blackhawk, Kmart, Thorsen, SnapOn, Indestro...a hand carry tool box, nut/bolt bins......just would take forever to list.

Anyway, it just got me to thinking. I don't know what it means or if it means anything at all. It seems that I come upon things of folks that have passed away. Like my truck toolbox. I got it off CL from a guy selling it as it use to be on his dad's truck. He had passed away a few years ago and it was just sitting in the barn. In a way I feel some responsibility and honor in owning another person's tools. It feels like I have some big shoes to fill to use the tools right.

Ok, I'm rambling. For some reason I'm all emotional about all this. I'm gonna have some milk and go to bed. Yall have a good night.

 

I prefer the liquid


Oh Boy. . . . Now I went and done it

 

Don't let the Marines overtake you, soldier. Just talking a little smack.


It really did remind me of giving a guy a beating of a lifetime. I don't know what his problem was, by the time I got done, I'm not sure he did either.

Bed time. Gonna hit a little DYAC, the OL is laughing pretty hard...

 

In case of emergency, break glass

 

Sometimes when you do that, you find out the fire extinguisher has expired...

 

U realize you set yourself up with that. . . .

Was the extinguisher ever charged?

 

Because that's the effect Polaraco has on people!
