Ho Chow, an older Chinese guy who works for me, called in this morning and said, "Hey, I no come work today, I really sick. Got headache, stomach ache and legs hurt, I no come work."

I said, "You know something Ho Chow, I really need you today. When I feel sick like you do, I go to my wife and ask her for some loving. That makes everything better and I go to work. You try that."

Two hours later he called me again. "I do what you say boss and I feel better. I be at work soon. You got nice house."

My wife and I are self-employed. 

Last month after we paid all our bills we had some extra cash left over, so we voted on what to do with it. 

My wife said, "Let's save it." 

I voted, "Let's buy a new truck."

It was 1-1 until around 3:00 am when 750,000 votes came in for a new truck. Now my wife is suspicious.

You must live in Ohio.

Well, it finally happened.

My neighbors spoke to me,

so, I did what I had to do.

I strapped on an ankle monitor and went outside with my shirt on inside out and argued with a tree. That should hold them off for a while.

My wife and I were out bear hunting over the weekend when we came across a large mysterious hole in the ground.

It was so deep we couldn't see the bottom of it. 

I walked off looking for something to throw down the hole, hoping to see how deep it was.

I found a very heavy, old, rusty boat anchor nearby and my wife helped me throw it down the hole. We were standing there listening and looking over the edge when suddenly, we heard some wrestling in the brush behind us. 

As we both turned around we saw a goat come crashing through the brush and went flying past us and jumped head first right into the hole.

While we were standing there looking at each other and gazing into the hole trying to figure out what the hell was going on, an old farmer walked up. 

He asked us if we had seen his goat.

I said, “Yes sir, she ran right past us going like 80 miles an hour and jumped head first, right into this hole!"

“That’s impossible,” the man said.
"I had her chained to a very heavy boat anchor!”

I got laser eye surgery today.

The surgeon came in a little bit afterwards and asked me if I wanted the good news or the bad news first.

I said, "I'll take the good news first."

The surgeon said, "Well, you're about to get a new dog!"

If there is tech out there that can surge batteries until they explode, what does that mean for people who drive electric cars?

    • I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed
    • Did you ever find a resolution to this? my 2019 Silverado 1500 is showing the exact same headlights issues with the exact same symptoms.  would help a ton if anyone has any advice on this or better yet a known solution..
    • Wawa and Meijer here have ethanol free (88 & 89) I use for my mower and lawn equipment.  Its not much more than reg.  I paid $3.29 a few weeks ago.  
    • tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
    • NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
