Not to be outdone by all the redneck, hillbilly, & Texan jokes... You know you're in California when......

 

 

 

1. Your coworker has 8 body piercings and none are visible.

 

2. You make over $300,000 and still can't afford a house.

 

3. You take a bus and are shocked at two people carrying on a conversation in English.

 

4. Your child's 3rd-grade teacher has purple hair, a nose ring, and is named Breeze.

 

5. You can't remember...is pot illegal?

 

6. You've been to a baby shower! that has two mothers and a sperm donor.

 

7. You have a very strong opinion about where your coffee beans are grown, and you can taste the difference between Sumatran and Ethiopian.

 

8. You know which restaurant serves the freshest arugula.

 

9. You can't remember...is pot illegal?

 

10. A really great parking space can totally move you to tears.

 

11. A low speed police pursuit will interrupt ANY TV broadcast.

 

12. Gas costs $1.00 per gallon more than anywhere else in the U.S.

 

13. A man gets on the bus in full leather regalia and crotchless chaps. You don't even notice.

 

14. Unlike back home, the guy at 8:30am at Starbucks wearing the baseball cap and sunglasses who looks like George Clooney really IS George Clooney.

 

15. Your car insurance costs as much as your mortgage payments.

 

16. Your hairdresser is straight, your plumber is gay, the woman who delivers your mail is into S&M, and your Mary Kay rep is a guy in drag.

 

17. You can't remember...is pot illegal?

 

18. It's barely sprinkling rain and there's a report on every news station: "STORM WATCH 2003."

 

19. You have to leave the big company meeting early because Billy Banks himself is teaching the 4:00pm Tae Bo class.

 

20. You pass an elementary school playground and the children are all busy with their cells or pagers.

 

21. It's barely sprinkling rain outside, so you leave for work an hour early to avoid all the weather-related accidents.

 

22. Hey!!!! Is Pot Illegal????

 

23. Both you AND your dog have therapists.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
