#9, I bought an old engine to replace the one in my beater Ford, from a junkyard, once. Not knowing much, I got it home, then thought I would drain the oil, before putting it into the Ford LTD I had. I had to literally scrape the oil out of the damn engine to get it all out. Then I poured some heated up oil into the thing, to try and clean it out, trying to make sure I had it all opened up for the oil to run all around the inside of the engine passages. Like I said, I didn't know much at the time. After getting the engine pretty well cleaned out, as best as I thought I could, I and a friend put it in, and started it up. And damned if it didn't run just fine. It was just an old Ford V-8, 351, so it was a solid engine to start with, but it was not really made to take the abuse that someone had given it. I got it from a junkyard, in trade for a 30/30 rifle and 50$. I don't know how long I had the car, since back then, I drove 40 miles one way to work, and so I went through cars left and right. But I do know that when the price of gas was low, I preferred the V-8 engines, as they were much more comfortable to drive and the fuel economy was not really all that different. Now, I am pretty religious about getting oil changes at 4,000 miles. The oil change places say 3,000 miles, but I stretch them out another 1,000 miles, since the oil is clean at 3,000 miles, and it is still up on the dipstick, so I am not burning any in my car.
#9 - Wife went to auto parts store and noticed a pool of what appeared to be motor oil. She did her purchase, mentioning to clerk of the stain. The clerk laughed a bit, and explained a young customer had come in to purchase a replacement oil plug for his vehicle. The clerk had told the customer he needed to see the part to order the correct one.
Yep, customer removed the plug to show to clerk the part. Millenials do some stupid shit.
#2 - Now his shirt looks like his sheets.
ReplyDelete#4 - Is that an escalator or some kind of ramp?
#8 - That's some funny Chinese Three Stooges shit right there! I guess Curly would be Curry over there???
#9 - Been there, done that. Oil likes to do that crap.

ReplyDelete#5 Sup? Just walkin the dog bro.
Mondays indeed. 😁
#4 - HEB groceries are being built multi-level (store over parking). They have a separate escalator for the carts.
ReplyDelete#5: a kid playing in DIRT? Have the parents been arrested yet for making the covid jab unnecessary?
ReplyDeleteI LOL at the woman with the shopping cart on the escalator. Then she doesn't even let go of it... Is that the new escalator in Nigeria.. no matter.
ReplyDelete#3 Wye did you do that to the diamond?

#4 Reminds me that the majority of humanity runs on "Automatic" without any checks and balances.
ReplyDelete#1 and 2: something something karma served up fast
ReplyDelete#4: I want to interview this person. I have several questions. For instance, what's up with the death grip on the cart?
#6: I'm not saying it's time for a diet, but take that as a sign from God that it's time to slim down a bit.
#7: This would bring out my violent side.
Can't get enough of #8.
#1 immensely satisfying
