YIPPEEE!!!! My new running shoes showed up today!!! I can run again!! I'm so excited!!

Oh, and the job interview went well. Still not a technical one, but hey, that's not up to me. I think I did OK.... which is a good thing. If I feel great about it, then I probably blew it... LOL. So "OK" is pretty good.

As for how long bulbs last... I haven't lived in the same place for longer than a year in 4 years, so I have no idea. But if that job comes through, I'll be in Denver for a couple more and will settle in & probably buy a place.... eek!

Sadly it seemed 100% real. Someone on that board told him to flush it with water... he must have missed the :-eek: smiley to tip him off that it was sarcasm.... not even enough sense to use Google "how to do an oil change"..... wow... he'll probably be a Congressman one day...

That guy had no clue when it came to cars and engines. I could change the oil in tractors, cars and trucks pretty much by myself when I was 10.

I saw that thread a while back...

I once changed a transmission in a camaro because the womans brother checked the fluid in the transmission by pulling a bolt from the side of the tranny...the bolt held an internal part in place, which dropped into the case and toasted the tranny when he started the car. CHA-CHING!

WTF? Did he think he was checking the fluid level like in a manual where you pull the fill plug? Or was it a manual and the boob thought he *was* pulling the fill plug??
