How many billions of dollars is The Crony Express over budget?

Why are we still building railroads in the age of space travel?

Have you tried the brake cleaner spray into the cavity to see if that knocks any trash out?

Washington State has Sound Transit to spend tax money on our train idea. The problem is
No one on the board is elected. And it seems like they hand out the bids to there buddies.

Jerry Brown is an elected Governor. His daddy, Pat Brown, was also an elected Governor. Both Papa Brown & Sonny Brown sought the Democratic Party's nomination to be POTUS.

The California train idea dates back to when Pop Brown was governor. When Junior Brown became Governor Moon Beam, he pushed it also. Now that JB is back for term 3 & term 4, even though there are term limits, he is attempting to establish a family legacy with this project.

Back in the 60's, when Senior Brown first pitched it, it made a lot more sense.....not as many people owned cars, air travel was a luxury item, and the nation's roadway system was still Route 66. Even in the 70's with skyrocketing fuel cost, Baby Brown could not find the support.

The hardest truth to face is that in 6 terms as governor, $$$$$XXXXX has been spent, and it's a train to nowhere. Nobody will ride this train. We already have a train that nobody rides. It's called Amtrak.

And even the casual observer will cry "CRONY CRONIE CRONE". Every dollar spent has been in the direction of companies with ties to the Brown Tag Team. Engineering firms, environmental impact studies, lobbying, election campaign brochure printing, construction companies, bed & breakfast joints where they spend the night while traveling to endorse the project, public relations firms........all have profited with their association to Clan Brown.

This is a huge waste of taxpayer resources, and the money could have done so much more for the state's infrastructure.

But what I'm really upset about, is that none of those dollars trickled down in my direction. I hand delivered a bid outlining how I will do absolutely nothing, if they paid me $$$$XXXX from the California High Speed Rail fund, to the Governor's Mansion. Handwritten in Crayon, on pink butcher paper, it said, "give me a lot of money, and I won't do a thing". All that I got for my efforts was being detained at gunpoint by the HighWay Patrol, and 72 hours in psychiatric evaluation. I didn't get arrested, charged with a crime, or found to be crazy.

Jay Inslee wants high speed rail from Vancouver BC to God only knows into the western half of the state.
More than likely It would be to Seattle and they would as normal ignore Tcoma. Not that we would want it.
But you can bet they would want us to help pay for it.

Back on topic. No more slurred, drunken commentary on politicians or their fathers.

That tool looks like it's for ear wax removal.

No, but that's a good idea. as easy as it is to get at, might as well spend a few minutes and try it. I still can't get the stupid radiator fitting to stop leaking so I need to address that first.

If you’re working on a 4WD Truck, that front driveshaft is right in the way for a spray can with a standard straw nozzle. I put a 6in piece of heat shrink (for wires) on it to extend the straw and it works good. It’s still possible to get an armpit full of carb cleaner though.

Its been awhile but here is a video of what came out of mine the first time I sprayed it. Yuck! I spray it out when I change filters now.

A little OOPS I meant carb cleaner. I don't think the break cleaner will hurt. I just might do as good a job. But who knows?
