#4 If the engine oil was warm time to put in the plug and add a little kerosene and let her run for about five minutes. Then drain it. #10 Note that trap is anchored to the floor. I used to set them as a kid and drop a chunk a firewood in them. They will jump a good foot when sprung.

Yea, I stuck my open hand in, trap sprung on my fingers and.....nothing happened, little sting buy I opened the trap and walked away.
A memory, hope I don't offend. I was probably thirteen and went to see Elvis in Roustabout. He knocked the shit outta some boys and then got on something like a Bridgestone 90 revving the shit outta it. One of the boys all wide eyed said," You know Karate!" In between revs Elvis said, "Comes with the bike kid." I burst out laughing. I was the only one in the theater laughing and boy did I get some dirty looks. I know Elvis owned and rode Harleys. That scene just tickled the shit outta me.
I have one sized bigger bear trap. (Newtown)? Patented 1910. The guy my grandpa farmed for set it to catch an egg thief. (Never got him). It will break a 2x2 board. That guy will be sorry someday
I hate to go on but my great grandfather, whom I'm named after, is in the book of Great Guides of the Adirondacks. He did catch a thief. He kept braids of crack corn for the chickens hanging from the rafters in a spring house. He was missing braids and set and hung a bear trap from the rafters. Several days later the story goes my Great Grandfather was walking down the road and a cousin of his was coming the other way with his arm in a casts. They passed one another and exchanged nods. No more cracked corn was missing. Hard men back in those days.
Me and a buddy tried to set a bear trap in high school. Without a lever or a C clamp or something, I don't know how you could get one set. They are that tough. Of course, they have to hold a damn bear, so of course, they would have to be.
Set er on the floor or a hard surface. Stand on both springs then grab the jaws and pull her open. Set the pan and slowly get your weight off the springs. Nothin to it but don't even fuck up.
#9 My first thought was hell this girl is high maintenance and does all that work and spends all that time to make herself look hot. Then I got to thinking about myself. I was never blessed with great features, my nose is too big and I started to go bald before I was thirty. I did however have a pretty good physique. Now, thinking about all the karate, working out with weights and triathlon training that I've done over the years. Well it looks as though I'm just as high maintenance as she is.
#4: I had an old Jeep CJ with a quarter million miles and wanted to swap out the 258 straight six for a chevy v8. Hated to throw out a perfectly good engine so I decided to not change the oil until it died. I did still periodically top off the oil as it leaked a fair bit from the rear main seal. A year later I gave up on that plan and finally changed the oil, and it came out pretty much like #4.
#4 It's 7,000 not 70,000 miles.
ReplyDeleteThe oil change costs more than the car is worth looks like

#10 Ya gotta wonder what he was thinking the FIRST time he did this.
ReplyDelete#10, he's quick
ReplyDeleteHe's also stupid.
Delete#5- what’s happening there?
ReplyDeleteThe kid was sitting on an airbag and his buddy punched it off.
DeleteHow much spinal trauma did the idiot receive? I think we're looking at a future Darwin Award winner.
DeleteWith a bent back, just to make double sure he gets a hernia.
