I had just about decided on the SpiderWire line for my fishing reel when she said "Excuse me sir, do you know about cars".

"How can I help you maam?"

"I have a Jeep Cherokee and I need a battery. Batteries are batteries right?"

"Well not exactly, thats why they have so many to choose from. Lets see if we can find a catalog to look your battery up."

As we approach the battery display, bad luck, she greets her husband who is driving the shopping cart. I locate a prompter/monitor at the display area and direct him to it for the battery selection. I continue back to the fishing gear.

A few minutes pass and from about thirty feet away, I hear "thank you sir". As I look up, she is gone and he disappears pushing the cart with battery included. The prompter/monitor setup has audio and I realize I had not heard anything. I realize too, that not only did he not know anything about batteries, but he could not operate the prompter. I can only guess that his purchase was based on either price or the battery that was easiest to pickup and place in the cart. And, I feel bad that I didn't find the right battery for her. I should have told her to just take the Jeep to Sears and have them install a Diehard. Oh Well. Just another lovely hotty with a no common sense significant other.

 

This just made me wonder what kind of luck you guys might have had in the automotive isle?

 

Oh yeah, caught a good mess of bream today, but maybe the big one got away.

Well, I've had lots of luck with chicks asking me about stuff in Wal-Mart.

 

Only problem is.... THEY'RE 80 F***ING YEARS OLD!!!! AND THEY WANT TO KNOW WHERE "UNDERGARMENTS" AND ALL THAT OTHER s*%t IS!!!!!

 

 

Apparently, the HALLMARK logo on the left "Breast" of my PURPLE shirt isn't enough clue for them.  :angry:

 

 

Sorry, It's been a long week. :D

 

BTW, did anybody hear about the couple who got married in the  Wal-Mart Jewelry dept.?   :cheers:

May I ask what 'bream' is?

The simple answer is fish. Bream variants are Bluegill, Sunfish, Shellcracker, Redear, Pumkinseed, Redbreast...etc.

Actually I have gotten a date at Wal-Maart before.  However, it wasn't because of my knowledge of vehicles, unfortunately.

 

This story is a story rarely told, so feel privledged to have info on me that you can now use to make fun of me.  I wouldn't even post it, but I had a few brews tonight and don't care to.   :cheers:

 

I was playing in a Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band, and we decided it would be cool to dress up for the halloween parrty we were going to play for, so we all dressed up as KISS (one of my all time favorites).  Well, we got nice and drunk after we played, and the next day I was hung over and needed to go to Wal-Mart, so I just got up got dressed, threw on a ballcap and went.  I forgot that we had painted our fingernails black for our costumes and I hadn't been sober enought to take it off yet, or care that it was there.  As I was walking through the store this girl came up to me and asked to see my hands.  She said she thought it was cool that I had my nails painted and asked me why I did.  I told her and asked her if she wanted to come to our gig that night.  She said sure and showed up that night.  I went home and found mom's nail polish remover and cleaned my nails.  We went out a time or two, but it didn't work out, however we kept in touch and she becamse one of my best friends ever.  When asked how we met we always just say "in Wal-Mart."  That's enoug details for most people.  :D

Will agree with you there Ryan, as a road Nazi as some call me, I get to drive around all day and ruin the days of others or check out other drivers at times.  I just shake my head at some of the guys these girls end up with.  And while we're making fun of ourselves and others, back in the days of age 6 or 7, I actually put on this pair of zip-up boots that mom had believing that I was Ponch while riding my bike...oh the simplicity of youth.

And here I thought you were going to say you were still painted up like Gene Simmons.  Now that would definetly get you some looks.

Oh don't think we didn't go to Wal-Mart that night dressed a KISS.  Who would pass that up?  We really got some stares.

 

I would pos you a picture of it, but all of the pics are at mom and dad's and I won't be back there for a few weeks, and by then I'll probably forget.  If I remember I'll bring one down and scan it though.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
