  1. Despite the correction, I'm still going to giggle silently in my head and imagine pouring a little bit of mighty t-rex in my engine every oil change.
  2. Dino refers to oil that is all dead dinosaur and no part synthetic. At least that's what I've always thought.
  3. About time for me to tackle the same project. I will be watching this one to see what you wind up doing. The place you got yours from, did they also have that stupid elbow thingy (the one that comes off the housing and goes to the t-stat) that dents every time you look at it crosseyed and the seals for it?
  4. Oddly enough, I did buy a one dollar scratch off later that day and won 4$
  5. Got Lucy out from storage. Rebuilt the clutch master cylinder. Took her for a few short runs up the street and back. Then I decided to hit the road for a few miles. Between miles 10 and 18 I had 3 near misses with Bambi, almost got run over by a truck that was pulling out of a driveway and had to dodge some lady from the oncoming lane who had her head in the phone and had swerved into the middle of the road. I took it as a sign and turned around at mile 20. I hope that's all I have to deal with this year...
  6. It's androids response to "Hey Siri." It is where you just say "ok google" to your phone and it does whatever. Like a voice prompt. It can be useful but adds a hole new set of problems. Sometimes it picks up something you say and starts doing whatever and you wind up with it searching for places to buy camel dung... Yes that happened to me. The conspiracy theory people clam the government is using it to spy on us and feeding everything we say to evil overlords. They are watching.... Where did I put that tin hat...
  7. Plugs are a season and a half old.
  8. Mine has always started fine with half choke. This was the first time trying to start that cold though. The battery is 13 months old and didn't quit she just wouldn't fire up. I wheeled her in the shop and set a turbo heater near her and she fired right up after about 10 min or so. Made it home without a problem. It was 41 this morning and she fired up no problem. I'm thinking she might have been mad at me or something.
  9. Apparently Lucy's screw you I'm not starting temp is 38 and windy. Helpful to know... just not when I'm about to head home from work.
  10. She says thank you! I will make sure to save some for you. Tell you what, we will do an even up trade. Some of your hot dogs for tamales. We may get delayed getting to the rally due to food coma.
  11. You should sign up for the international rally. Its in Wisconsin this year. Just don't come sporting none of that bears stuff.
  12. I have an 83 also. When cold, I added 3oz and topped off the tank. Then started her up and ran till warm. Let sit for a few days (3 I think) then ride the tank dry. Fill back up with no sesfoam like normal. Repeat as needed. I had good results with this method.
  13. I'm keeping her here as long as I can :fatsmiley:. Hey Mr. Cowpuck, look what I got!!!!
  14. My mother in law will be spending the next 2 months with us. She doesn't speak a lick of english:thumbsup: she keeps my wife from nagging me about everything:big-grin-emoticon: and she cooks all of that authentic Mexican food I love:fatsmiley:. Going to be awesome.
  15. That was supposed to say "Por Que soy gringo" but I was tired and it came out wrong. Anywho, l'm a northern white boy and I got my traveling in while in the service. My wife talks about one day taking me to Zacatecas but that is reserved for after the kids are out. We both like it here in the great white north.
  16. My wife is Mexican. I've never been to Mexico or seen a Peso...
  17. Some sciency thing about ice crystals needing an impurity in the water as the catalyst for forming. No impurity, no ice.
  18. Climbing a tree and falling onto a barbed wire fence. Got scars up the inside of my right thigh from knee to crotch. Then doing the same thing the next summer and earning matching scars on the left side. (Still managed to have kids.) Trying that pull out the table cloth and have the dishes stay put trick but used a rug and my little brother. Jousting matches with mops and bikes. BB gun v/s bull frogs at the pond. Building a huge hollowed out snow mound then challenging the the other kids to a king of the hill contest and purposefully loosing just to see them fall in. Mooning cars on the local county highway till one of them turned out to be a cop and chased us for about 2 miles. Playing who can go the fastest on dads riding mower right at the the house and stop just in time to avoid hitting the house but still get the closest.... I lost and had to learn how to repair siding. Spending long summer nights in the barn building hay forts.
  19. Sam's club has a hybrid mattress that has foam and soft springs in the shoulder and leg area and firm springs in the waist for support. I'm a stomach sleeper and this mattress is the most comfortable for me. I had a brand name foam one for 7 years. It was awesome for about 4 then quickly became so uncomfortable that I dreaded sleeping on it.
  20. You know Mr. Puck, you could always make a pit stop by my place and maybe fill your belly with some tamales or some other south of the border yummies on your way out to the rally. If you decide to go that is. Just saying. Would hate to have you go hungry on that long ride from your side of the pond.
  21. With your permission, I would like to toss my tent up at your place. I have a friend that may also be attending (rsvp'd as a maybe on the calendar) who would also be bringing a tent.
  22. All 100 at the same time. I've never had a close encounter with a duck (horse sized or regular) but I did have the misfortune of dealing with an angry goose when I was a teen on my moms farm during butchering season... Those birds are evil.
