Notice the sign says Mark's MINOR mechanics.... some dude asked me to put a clutch in his 07... I told him the same thing. He asked me if I could do it, I told him I could, but didn't want to. Dang... give me some brakes or something. I did do about 1k worth of work for him... for about 300 bucks.

Maybe if you weren't a gosh dang Canadian, you'd be fixed up by now. You've been dealing with this as long as I've known you...

Afternoon.

Got the pool all cleaned out, just to find holes in the bottom of it. GGGGRRRR!!!!!

Thats procrastination at its finest!


Evening DTR, been busy with work. Taking a new guy around with me for a few days for some training.

The wife's nephew is doing ok, he's still at the childrens hospital in chicago and had his first round of chemo. The dr's there sound pretty optimistic that he'll beat the leukemia.

Thursday after work the dodge rolled over 200k miles on the odometer! I plan on keeping it for at least 200k more miles.

Weather idiot says 50 for tomorrow, we've had a very mild winter so far. Last time it was like this we got a blizzard late in the season.


ALmost dinner time here, wife has some lasagna in the oven.

Morn'n all. Just checking in for a minute. Going "home" tomorrow. There is a 54C colder temperature difference between where i am now and where I will be on Wednesday. Back to work on Monday.

Shorts, what is a bock heater? Where does the dragon keep his/her bock heater? Maybe I need one of them to keep me warm in my travels.

Can't believe that the shrews thread is still going strong. No comments!

Woke up with a pain under my shoulder blade when I breath in. Need more coffee I guess.
Name half of them.

Don't breath in. You should feel better now, that will be $1248.

Seriously, any idea what's up. Muscle strain?

There's a story here and it's got to be a good one.

Safe travels Stan.

Scotty, no pictures please. You're the type that would start with the arm and end with those darned leggggs.

Evening all.

Brain strain most likely. I was standing at the workbench looking at the pile of parts that are making up a saw tooth setter, and it just started. 30 Advil's a day are keeping the pain at bay... for the moment.

There was a time when I would get mad. I let others do that now. Plenty of takers for that.

How is the wheel?

Hi Stan. Be safe.

Where is FiverSpeedoLikeDependsBobby at?
