I went in for a job interview today.

The interviewer said, "Your application says you are fast with math?"

"Yes, that's correct," I said.

He said, "Okay, what is 37x15?"

I said, "76."

He said, "That's not even close."

I said, "But it was fast."

Every couple of months, I will go outside and run the vacuum cleaner over the driveway while wearing my Hannibal Lecter grill mask, just to ensure that the neighbors never try to talk to us.

A woman approached a Catholic priest.

 

"Father forgive me for disturbing you. But, do you perform burial services?"

 

The priest calmly answered, "Yes my child of course." It is our duty to perform and help with these arrangements. May I know what the relationship of the deceased is to you?" 

 

The woman, pleased, responded, "My poor dog Rocky has passed away. I would like for him to be buried properly. 

 

The priest, offended said, "A burial for a dog? No, we don't do that!"

 

The woman asked, "Do you know who would do a funeral for my dog Rocky?"

 

"I bet the Baptist church on the corner would do it," he said.

 

"Sir, do you think $5,000 will be enough payment for the dog's funeral?" 

 

The preist replied, "Ma'am, why didn't you tell me that your dog was a Catholic?"

I called my local radio station this morning to request a song. 

 

When the guy answered the phone he said, "Congratulations on being our first caller, all you have to do is answer the next question correctly to win the grand prize."

 

"Woah!" I shouted with excitement.

 

"It's a math question," he said, "Are you feeling confident?"

 

"I have a degree in math" I proudly said.

 

"Okay then, to win the 2 VIP tickets to see Taylor Swift and to meet her backstage afterwards, what is 2+2?"

 

"12," I replied.

    • Google converting 98 4.3 spider injection to carburetor if all else fails. 
    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
