Not me....... Evening Chris!

 

Good evening Oregon and riff raff!

Hope you all had a great taco Tuesday and Humpday is better.

 

Humpday is always good......

 

I doubt we will run out of BS, but just in case the manure pile does start to run a little low, rest assured I have enough HS around the ranch to keep us resupplied for eternity.


Time to buy another building, maybe the bomb shelter / ops center? Maybe the generator building.....Don's Automotive Industrial Park.


Summit Racing?????? or
NAPA NAPA AUTO PARTS


Had that problem with my 87 F250 460. PB Blastered then NeverSeized the linkage and spring and the cable connection point and that seemed to solve the problem. Later had the problem starting up again. Found that the plastic cable casing had worn away and a couple of the cable strands were binding up in the spring.

 

I might. If I am i'll let you know. This sportsman show?:http://www.thesportshows.com/shows/pacific-northwest/

Anyhow, I was out raising hell, more than usual anyway.
Met up with U.Z. Havent seen him a year at the least, good to see him.
Started making my knife, have to pick up some used motor oil for the heat treatment thingy, I checked with 3 friggin auto shops and they had NONE, not even a quart. Ill check with the other 20 tomorrow


Out of the blue, my grandfather posed a question to me: do you want the blueberry? (The blueberry is the nickname for the 1978 ford f-150 single cab long bed ranger (maybe XLT ranger) trim with the 400 and 4-speed). He offered to buy it for me and let me tinker all I want out there... Might take him up on that offer if the truck is worth it.

I just hate taking offers like that, makes me feel like a theif...

 

Thanks, Jim......but those are for the 4-banger, they won't work.
Those are the only ones I can find too..........I am thinking universal kit will be the only option.

 

What don't like PDX?

 

Name some one who does?.......

 

Chris, PDX is.... Well... Don repellant!

Anyhow, I think PDX is only worth it for 2 main things (there are other reasons but...), Outdoor expos and Swap meets!

 

Maybe the ones that live there.
I do not have any use for PDX, just some events are held there. We will be at the Expo Center tomorrow. ( the Ford will be home has some things that need work)

 

Uh, can't off the top of my head.....
I'm saving my penny's for the Spring Rickreall Gun Show which is next month. I wonder if I could borrow some of my penny's back from the attorney that got them all in Nov......


Dave, it might not hurt to talk to NAPA or O'Reilly's. Both were able to find me a cable for the 87 that didn't show up on the web sites. It bothers me that those were for a 4 banger as I plugged your year and V6 engine in.

 

I can only go saturday or sunday. I have something called school, and after the stunt I pulled in december taking a day off willie nillie might not go over well....

 

O.K......you just can't dangle a carrot like "after the stunt I pulled in December" and then leave us hanging!!!!!!

 

Hehe... I'll try to summarize the boring bits.

I was working for a farming group at the time, christmas tree season was starting. I was working 12-16hr days through thanksgiving break. Boss needed more guys during the week and I wanted the hours (this is why I can now afford a truck... Somewhat). New trimester, first few weeks are always easy, I knew I could hack taking 2 days off a week for work, so did my parents. So, I approached napoleon (aka the principal, who is short with an ego like no other...), he looked over the idea, yadda yadda. I figured he'd approve it considering my standing as a student and person. Gave me some bull**** excuse about how he couldnt let me take the time off, even though other kids leave for other more idiotic reasons.

So, I told him he could shove it up his *** and left. Took the time off anyway. Now he often stops by my classes to see if he can find a reason to write me up.

Now, before you say that I might have been a complete *******, I do have some justification. 1: in order to graduate, you now have to have Career Related Learning Experience, CRLE's, and a set amount of hours to complete, this is a state requirement. Not only that, but there is another district requirement that we have more than 1 PAID job experience for an honors diploma, I needed one more as my actual second job is well... Not something I want to talk about. So, 2 mandated reasons for work experience, I get time in the real world busting hump, what could be a more validated excuse for 6 days off?

That, and he has been harassing me since freshman year, I just cant call the ***** on it. Purposely changing rules as I move them towards being better at their jobs by asking tough questions and challenging them to new things for improving the school. Ideas such as: bringing back electives that can get students jobs the momenth they graduate, noting flaws as to a lack of various things, budget misplacement (I cant prove this but, its at least somewhat true), and other things.

I also started a "thing" too, seniors with easy schedules are now doing this too and they cant stop it. And he IS PISSED.

Well, that wasnt short but thats why I have to carefully plan days off. That, and if I take too many off, I can wind up in truancy court.

 

I can not! And I will have to go through decontamination before coming home..

We go the first day of the show when the vendors are still in a good mood ok haven't started wandering what they got in to.
