If you had to stop and put water in the 911 radiator I would really be worried about you getting some sort of altitude sickness.

In the 80's a friend had his wife pick up their 914 from the local dealership. He looked at the ticket to see why it was so expensive and immediately lost it. The ticket was for replacing the radiator. He took it back to them and asked them to show him the new part they had put in telling them he didn't think they replaced it. They assured him that if it was on the ticket they replaced it. Then showed them the ticket.

The outside temperature is 100 or so and the hill is steep. My trusty 911 went up the hill with no issue and never got above 210.

I presume the more modern cars can do it with no issues. I did that trip in 2007 and several of the 10 or 12 year old cars were pulled over with steam blowing out. No steam from my 911!
I used to live in El Centro just south of the 8. Know that road well.

I have a lot to catch up on but thought I would leave this with you all and see if my expectations are too high for one of the places we stayed at.

When you pee into an empty toilet then flush said toilet, there should not be poop in it afterwards. Am I correct in this?

Okay group. RANT ON.

If you want me to believe you about extraterrestrials, how I can generate electricity from thin air, etc. There are a couple of things you need to do.

First off, Get a decent hair cut...




Two

If you have 2 desktop and 3 laptop PCs, network routers both wired and wifi, a non-smartphone and an iPhone you can't figure out how to use AND are retired...learn how to use them instead of sending me links to sites that you have to subscribe to to sell books on extraterrestrial stuff. And when you come stay at my house for a weekend you should be able to connect at least one of your 3 laptops to my wifi by yourself because I have a guest network that has no security whatsoever. And it's called FreeHomey.

Three

If I text you a picture of my new Cayenne, then two days later text you about some who has the same car you do having transmission problems...Don't text me back asking if I was able to get my transmission fixed.

If you want ME to believe anything you think is new a revolutionary, you kinda gotta show you have at least an inkling of basic logic an comprehension.

RANT OFF

Yea, that sounds kinda backwards. It is supposed to remove the human waste and NOT deliver any!

Was this place in the USA?

Welcome to my world.

The pcb industry works in mils, the drawing standard I have to use is in metric.

Morning all.

Throw some banana skins in the tranny and sell it.

Yes, this was in the USA and no, I did not sit down to pee. I didn't fart while I wasn't looking either.

Overall we had a good time but that was odd. Now I have to go back to the 18th and catch up on everything, unless someone wants to sumup to quote Inigo.

I thought it was bacon rinds or is that for manual transmissions?

Maybe just filling it with nipple lube will fix it!

Interesting. Why is that? I am guessing because the USA was the first major producer of PCB boards and did everything in thousandths of an inch.

I guess like wheel sizes for cars are in inches.

Okay then, just to try to put some logic to the flush filling toilet...

Was it in a basement or lower than the sewer lines?

Oh Oh, I know I know!!!

The sewer vent for the toilets sewer lines is clogged. This tries to remove the liquid waste and vent at the same time thru the toilet to equalize the pressure in the sewer line. Because of the water trap some poop may not have gotten past the trap into to toilet line by the time you flushed just the liquid. That poop was caught up in whatever currents their were emptying water and venting the line bringing it up out of the trap and into the toilet bowl.

That or instead of either potable or gray water being used to flush the toilet it is actually using black water. I am assuming this option it would be more likely there would be poop in the toilet BEFORE peeing in it.

Either way the toilet would certainly not smell as fresh as it should.

If I don't know the right answer I can sure make something up.

If I don't know something I can sure make some shift up.
Hey you would make a great presidential candidate. Right or wrong, it does not matter, just make crap up or flat out lie, what difference does it make now?

It was one cabin on the top of the hill and there were 4 apartments, all on the same level. It was not our poop. The sink looked like it was bought second hand at the time the facility was built in the early 1900s.

I am past the nipple lube skin tag mole hair part. Slowly catching up.

That toilet is the new "green" model and recycles EVERYTHING. It is the new regurgitate model. It is so green it is brown!
