February 2008

Cold, cold cold.

Warm yesterday, with a wind like Monica Lewinski sucking the hudson hawk all the way into British Columbia. It blew so hard the Exploder with the three of us and 600 lbs of tools changed lanes by itself.

On the other hand, no flies.

Damn, where’s my global warming? it’s as cold as hillary’s alleged tits.

Speaking of Hillary’s alleged tits, Rachel Lucas is discussing our next first lady, Michelle Obama. God forbid she’s right, but lord knows, if she is, this is gonna be a wild eight years. No couple as devoid of values, reason, or intelligence has ever been in the white house, and to have Obama and his wife occupy will surely give us blogfodder the likes of which will never ever be equalled. Not one thing they could possibly ever do wouldn’t be ignorant, wrong headed, or downright evil, and it will blow my mind to watch.

Until, as Rachel says, I’m dragged off to a re-education camp, and sixty percent of my brain vacuumed out with a used abortion currete so I too can think like a democrat.

Man, I want a smoke.

SOmetimes that longing hits me really hard. I haven’t had one- other than, the occasional hit off one of the Ogwife’s, for many years now, but that itch still wants to be scratched.

B: Want to go have some wings?
Og: Sure. Have to change the oil in the trucks.

pause, maybe 7 minutes.

B: Let me know when you’re done.
Og: I’m done. Just cleaning up now
B: You serviced both trucks in a couple minutes?
Og: Who do you think I am? Aamco?

I have done a four-wheel brake job on the Exploder in 11 minutes. When you do something often enough you get good at it. Every vehicle I own and most of them I work on, I write some basic info on the front of the radiator yoke- oilpan wrench size, filter size, engine oil capacity, filter wrench size, spark plug gap, etc. So when I open the hoodl I take exactly the correct tools under the car with me, and I’m done in no time. Dro the filter in the pan, clean the seat, put the (pre-oiled) new filter on, tighten. Pull the drainplug, burn my fingers with hot oil, wait for the oil to drain, wipe the plug gasket and pan surface and reinstall plug. Stand up, put tools away, pour in 5 qts oil. Done. Helps that the Ogwife’s truck uses the same filter and same oil pan wrench. yeah, two in seven minutes.
