stop being lazy and just do it...

see, you're still trying to edumacate 'em....

 

I realized the irony of the sign. Just wanted to see if you did.

I see you're dumb like a fox.

 

I am doing it, but I'm worn out. Got my truck dangling out of the garage.

 

glad to know Im not the only one that keeps my laptop handy while working on the truck... I usually dont think to post about what Im doing, but I keep it handy for the FSM.

 

Well, I see the new week has started out as normal - - picking on poor Shorts. Man, give her a break. You know girls can't do this kind of stuff as good as the guys can. ......................(Bob is running for cover). HELP, can't run with this busted up ankle. She is overtaking me. OUCH. HELP......

Gorgeous day down this way. Quite a week coming up in the future of our country. Golly I hope voters are using their heads instead of the open hands waiting for their next government handout. Vote gang, vote.

NO ph00 - - new is now brewed -- ummmm good. .......

Bob

 

Well I came in from the garage to use my other vise up in my workroom. My right bicep is just pegged and the palm of my hand is starting to blister from trying to get these fittings together. It's been three hours since I had the fuel lines disconnected and I started the first fitting on the hose.

I'm pretty frustrated right now I could throw this shhtuf through the wall.

 

Bob, you're mouth is writing checks your gimpy ankle can't cash. I hope your crutches have a jet pack.

 

 

Me too, they'd just fly out of his hands and you catch him even faster. I'm seeing a picture in my mind like the old Batman series with Adam West. Every time somebody got hit there were subtitles. The evil villain Fiverbob destroyed by the short superhero........er.... destroyed by the superhero in shorts........I mean Shorts kicked the old man's butt.

 

yah i know the steps

 

jsut trying to help you out without going to texas...

 

if bob wears plaid like that it would be very entertaining i think.

i might throw the stock line back on from fuel can to cp3 and bypass the 2mic filter. i'm tired, dejected and have a headache. but at least i could be able to start the truck to back it out so i dont have to sleep in the garage. i just dont see me finishing these two lines tonight.

 

Thanks. I'm just past the video. I KNOW how it SHOULD be done. I Just can't get the line on in one press. I get two barbs and then the line gets stuck...then it's going 1/16" at a time

I've tried wd40 on the barb. I've tried heating the line. I've tried fridgerating the fitting.

Of course it all culminates into I wish I had two <insert adjective> hands to work on stuff. And I'm too stubborn to not start a project.


Anyway, going to work on this cider right now. Then I'll go try the lines again. I have one mostly done. Hoping to get a surge of something to get it done and not wimp out.

 

Shorts - you seem to accomplish more with one hand than most folks do with two. Sorry about the fittings.

FiverBob - you be careful now or Shorts is going to whup you with her good hand tied behind her back. I would say that she would get Madhatbto deal with you when he gets back, but I don't suspect she needs the help.

Well all, had a fairly productive day today, got the Honeydew list done and now we are starting to work on dinner. My wife is making one of my favorites, fried rice and I will cook up a batch of ginger beef to go on top of the rice. Mmmmmmm

Oh yeah, the sun has been out all day, so we are avoiding a bout of DW going bat crap crazy.

 

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that one or two hands shouldn't matter, but I AM gonna tell you that I run into crap like that all the time. And when I do, I call someone to give me a hand. That big truck I have has ALL push-on fittings and a ton of them. Even with the 100 dollar tool I bought specifically for them, they're a royal pain in the azimuth. I usually call on a friend a few miles down the road when I know I'm going to be messing with them. Saves time and walls. Wish I was closer, I'd be there to swear at them with ya!
