Ahhh....ok,must be near the "segnle fludi rezrfoir".....

 

Yes and NO........how many of the "words are actually words from the English dictionary.

Cell phones I can understand, but a keyboard?....and most software has spell/grammar checkers....

Also, you forgot to mention that kids can text that fast while they drive....

 

I'm hijacking, the OP sent us off on an interesting tangent here.

A week ago, I reluctantly "mercy-hired" a friend of a friend for basic carpentry help, my lead guy was on his honeymoon. He never stopped texting on the near hour long trip out to the jobsite. Silly me, I assumed he'd put the phone away when we started working. Initially, I commented about how important his texting seemed to him but it fell on deaf ears. The final straw was his yelling to me to wait a second while he was on the receiving end of a 10' cedar 1x12 off the table saw so he could either read or respond to yet another text. I couldnt tell which as my blood pressure temporarily blinded me. I shut down the saw and walked around and grabbed his phone and put it in my pocket. You would think I had grabbed the money out of his pocket. Immediate attitude and you could tell he was just dying to see his latest message. I returned his phone at the end of the day and he spent the return trip catching up on whatever was more important than his temporary financial well being.

I was willing to give him a second chance but he texted at 7am the following morning that he had a fight with his girl and would meet me at the job later that day to which I responded via telephone "don't bother"

Our mutual friend thought I was too hard on him. btw, he's 28 years old...not a kid.

Rant over.

 

Ed,
I read that and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I am a general contractor and finding reliable, competent help is getting harder and harder to do.
I'm sure he'll find a comfy job in a management position somewhere....

 

It seems that the "Generation Gap" is getting wider every day.

 

management, comfy?

where is that at?



lol

 

By comfy I didn't mean well off.....that would be politics.

 

Here's my interpretation:

1) Can someone help? (apparently not, feel free to pick on my grammar)
2) I have "done" the heads and gaskets.
3) Timing chain was also done.
4) Water is boiling out of the tank.
5) There is a trace of oil in the exhaust system.
6) The whole cooling system has been replaced but still runs hot.
7) Now thinking the block is cracked, but short on money.
8) Is there a way of fixing the problem without really spending a lot of money.
9) Also replaced the manifold gasket (I'm assuming intake).

Yes, after all that work, either the block or one of the heads is cracked.

Without spending a lot of money, bars-leak is probably a good bet, at least for the short-term.

The guy's profile says "Arkansas". Believe it or not, I've talked to (and typed to) a lot of people from that neck of the woods that actually TALKED the way the original poster typed. And you know who? Older people, not young punks that are texting 24 hours a day.

Rant over.

 

I am willing to bet that the OP is not an "older person".
No offence... and you are right in your interpretation, at least as best as anyone could tell, I suppose. I give leeway for grammar, but the total lack of punctuation, is ridiculous.
I'm sure they have spell check in Arkansas.
In any event, we may have poked a little fun at the education system (and you know we're right about that), but had the OP responded, I'm sure everyone would have tried to help him with his engine. I suspect he figured out that the engine is likely toast.

 

lol



long hours, low pay,lazy help and all the crap lands on you....


management is so much fun......

 

Yup...that's pretty much it. Ain't life Grand!!
