Everything on an airplane has to be done to an exact specification.

Spark plugs apparently, can be 1/16th of a turn. I'll admit to going a quarter turn to a half turn. I just chalk it up to "hand tight", as defined by "we all have different hands".

Even girls can do spark plugs better than me.

I do like snarky looking cars, and that Ford GT is no slouch. I do like the ones that kind of break new ground, and in that department I really like the Rimac Nevera. Sure it's $2 million, so ownership is not a thing, but boy would I like to go for a ride in one.

Two million dollars for a car. Unreal. Guess that leaves me out. LOL. I bet it would be a fun car to drive though. But I would be too afraid somebody would crash into it and not afford to fix it because they didn't have a two-million-dollar policy.

2 million is a lot of tri tip.

As per The X, we only eat this because I like to play with my toys. The cast iron pan and the knife.

Another month is almost gone. Enjoy the last two days of it because it will not be coming back ever.

Buying a freezer and the cost of utilities would cost more than I can save. Not to mention that I have no space for a freezer. If I get rid of the sofa, and put it in the living room, people would just think that I am now in the homicide business.

Some people like meat to be well done. Others like it rare, and still others like it medium rare.
