Aren't they by default now anyway? Plus, I said each other. He is the kid that would hang AGM-65s on Spooky since it has the screens inside for it to begin with to soften the target if there is armor there. He was told how my uncle was acting pretty badly when he had morphine and Jacob asked why they didn't just shoot him. He cries when Dumbo has to leave his mother but has no problem eating Bambi's mom. Laughs when I step on it in the Cobra. I think he has a career working with DARPA in his future. Mom asked what a minion was and he said he didn't know and I said they were like henchmen and he said OK. Mom asked if he knew what henchmen were and he said they were bad guys that worked for their owner. Plus, he likes to be the hulk and smash.

Actually, I am afraid you two would get along great. Rick V would get along great with my wife. They have very similar sarcastic humor and would feed off of each other. Our daughter gets along with everyone and can converse well with most. Glen would get along with everyone. I think Azzy would and Jeff, but we wouldn't understand half of what Jeff says for a few minutes.

Can't think of any we wouldn't get along with from here.

Welp, on way back from lunch Rover almost didn't make it home. Suddenly boggs down and backfires thru intake when I mash the gas. Put in neutral and baby it a little and it seems okay for a block or less then does it again. Once cruising at speed limit seems to do okay. Limped home.

Have no idea what died.

[GH85Carrera]

Probably some of that Lucas smoke escaped.

[RKDinOKC]

Didn't see no smoke, but I could smell gas.

[RKDinOKC]

They got a nice blue Base Cayenne up at Bob Moore for $10K.
Also found a nice Red Cayenne S with Nav and Air Suspension for $12K.

[GH85Carrera]

The gas is supposed to go into the fuel injection system at a specific pressure and flow. When it leaks out and goes somewhere else that is bad. Hopefully it is not leaking onto the exhaust manifold.

[RKDinOKC]

Think gas smell is coming from it flooding and backfiring thru the intake when I press the accelerator.

Maybe I should have parked it outside so it wouldn't burn the house down.

Always a good plan.

Sounds like you are asking someone to challenge you. You do realize no matter how tough you are many are tougher.

You just showed up at the bar to early. Or perhaps just forgot to shower after the gym today?

When I worked at night in the machine shop there were a couple of huge guys, Andre the Giant huge. One loaded large machines all day long with 100 plus pound parts one handed that everyone else used a hoist. The other lifted 300 plus pound valves on and off the assembly line all day to group them together, again everyone else used hoists. They were as different as could be.

One was a very approachable big ol country boy that said he quit going to bars because about the time he started enjoying himself guys would try to pick a fight. Something about being the biggest guy in the bar. His claim to fame was he punched out a mean horse that bit him. After it woke up it followed him like a puppy dog.

The other looked biker mean and LOVED going to bars and getting into fights. Came to work one day after getting in a knife fight the night before. Had pretty deep slash the length of one forearm. It was held together in only a couple of places with bandaids and he still lifted heavy valves all day. Everyone at work was afraid of him. He would pull jokes on people to try to get a rise out of them and they would just take it.

Not long after I started working on the night shift with this huge joker he started pulling stuff on me. Asked my Dad about it. My dad also worked in the machine shop told me to stop that kind of horse play you had to get them back really good so they wouldn't want to start a horseplay war. Then proceeded to tell me about all the pranks that went on in the machine shop and what he did to keep the pranksters from bothering him.

After laughing off a couple more pranks I decided to pull one back. Snuck up behind him, hooked the hoist he never used to his belt and lifted him too high to reach the hoist controller before he realized what had happened. Then took some spray paint we use on the valves and painted him red all the time he was hanging there helplessly wriggling about swinging, kicking, screaming, and yelling at me.

Figured I was a dead man. But after someone else let him down he came over to my work station, still painted red, and told me good one, he liked me because I had the guts to stand up to him and return a prank, and if I ever needed some muscle to just holler. BUT, if I ever did anything like that to him again he would kill me. Never got pranked by him or anyone else in the shop again. Even though what I had done was legendary around the shop, my Dad never said a word to me about it. The night shift supervisor came up to me, stood there a couple of minutes with his hands on his hips, then just shook his head and walked away.

That was sure a different time back then. Today you would just get fired.

[HHI944]

Woooo!
It was an off day today....off days feel weird...
Tomorrow is back and biceps, then I get to go to the range and play with my sbr! Got my tax stamp back two days ago and I can't wait to sling some lead!

Signs of spring approaching




Hello neurotoxin - die you bastard!

[HHI944]

you need to kill that with fire....now!

[Noah930]

We call those black widows, but I understand you have a different name for them in Oz? Is it the same species of spider? The difference here is that the red hourglass "livery" is on the belly, not the back of the spider.

[Outback Porsche]

It got stomped on.

It looks like I'm spraying more neurotoxin around the house tomorrow.

[Noah930]

I just go out at night time and squish 'em with a toy golf club. I have sporadic infestations. Fortunately outside. I think I've only found 3 indoors in the 5 years in this house.

We call them Red Back Spiders and I think they are similar. Ours has the red stripe on their backs instead of the belly. The stripe can also be orange or light brown.

They are nasty bastards, and can kill (although no one has died from a Red Back for a long time). Hurts like fcuk though - I got bit a couple of years ago while working on the 944.

[Outback Porsche]

We get them outside all the time. It's very rare for them to be inside as we have auto bug sprayers inside (coz of the bastard flies) killing everything.

[Noah930]

Our black widows are being taken over by brown widows. I had never heard of brown widows before. But they look the same, except for being brown instead of glossy black. Supposedly they're not as aggressive/dangerous as their black cousins. (Though most of the time it seems like the black widows aren't particularly aggressive. Then again, I'm not a male of their species...)
