We all have a hard time starting our work days without our history lesson's .


We just got a little snow here as well, sounds like thursday could bring a fair amount over here.

By the way Scott do you think you will ever be let out of the ZOO ??

 

I hope not. I worked too hard to get here!

I heard about the snow too. Only 2 to 4 inches tho. That's better than 2 to 4 FEET!

 

Wow!

Umm, it was a hypothetical question. Forget I said anything anything about it.

Huh? Just got an onsite survey from this webpage asking me about buying KFC nuggets. Never saw an ad like that on DTR before.
Nearest KFC is in Anchorage.

 

I usually try to keep the hair in my ears short enough a Q-tip will handle it, but everybody is different.

Better check the lugs before you do too much more experimenting.

Hey Scott, I found a way for you to outsmart us all. Throw away those greasy old chainsaws, I found a better way to cut wood in half! It's fast too, does an entire truckload in a single pass.

 

Did you notice that the name on the side of the engine was 'DTFR'?

 

I want a job like that. They wouldnt even have to pay me.
Dont know how they managed to use the same engine for multiple tests.

 

I thought it was ironic that the name was DTFR considering the train wreck this place is turning into with all the ads and delays and such. I guess you hadda be there.

Greetings fellow and fellowette DTFRonians. Time to hit the road and get this shoulder repaired...will post when I can. Fitting for the Immobilizer today. Procedure tomorrow. Then its recover rehab return rebuilt.

 

A train wreck is a train wreck.

I'll look around the net for you Bark. I would think they're always needing more folks to drive the vehicles in the crash tests.

Good luck Scotty, prayers sent.

Morning folks.

 

I had an un-forseen busy day today....moms mustang clutch was having adjustment issues........AGAIN!!! Finally got that worked out. If any of you ever replace a clutch in a 98 GT do yourself a favor and get an adjustable clutch cable and new metal quadrant for under the dash. Then make yourself a return spring for the clutch fork!!!! Trust me, I know.

Thanks for the history report chaikwa, RoboArm....get well soon! Start moving that thing ASAP!! Nice day today, foggy this morning and 70 and sprinkles and then clear skies. Hope the northerners fair well with your weather. Stay safe and warm.

 

What happened? Someone give you a piece of paper with "See other side" printed on both sides?

Oh.

Evenin' peoples.

 

I thought that was a good call but I cant figure out what the F stands for.

That is near perfect weather for me. PS: Ask FiverBob, I dont want to hear about your good weather, only the bad.

I tried to get a job as a crash test dummy but couldnt pass the test.

Dang, tried to embed the Six Million Dollar Man intro for ya but couldnt get it to work so this is the best I can do:
"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him..we have the technology....stronger... faster....Better than he was before"
cue the slow mo music~~ na-na-na-na-na-na-naaaa.....

 

I hear there's openings in Afghanistan.

 

You can't make me say it! And if YOU say it, I'll ban ya!

I guess that goes along the same lines as those urine tests you can't pass either. I felt bad for you last time, you studied so hard!




Morning all. Last day at the University for this week. Don't have to be there until noon again. Some of these kids scare me. I'll have 4 great classes where they're engaged, interested and interactive, then I'll have one class that I can't get to say 'Good Morning', much less answer questions, or, God forbid, ASK ONE! Failed 3 of them yesterday simply because they wouldn't answer simple questions and I had NO idea if they had learned anything or not. These are the people that are going to be running our country!
