Got a new job.........Papa John's..........

 

IF you guys don't know, left the vending job. Put in two weeks notice to find a better paying job. Boss griped me out b/c I forgot where a location machince was(if it sounds ludicris(sp), it was, he kept going and going on and on), so that sealed the deal that I was leaving.

 

Well, they said I'll be making about $9 an hour, so that sounds fine to me!

First 300 and I'll be buying seat covers.

 

Yes, I will be driving the now christened "The Ultimate Delivery Machine" for the job. Pizza Delivery with classic style :thumbs:. I'd drive the truck but........modified 350.....stop-and-go.........gas mileage..........well, you know. :devil:

Hell, I'm not even a fan of Bimmers, but I can relate to that statement. :thumbs:

 

I delivered pizza for a while back in high school, pretty good money for the amount of work involved.

 

Good luck with the new job :devil:

If you are driving a Neon, the only way you will get to that party is in a tow truck. :devil:

That cant be more true. My uncle, the mechanic, put it best IMO. He calls them throw away cars. He said if anything happens to them it is most of the time not even worth fixing them.

 

 

BTW Congrats. :mad::D

A friend of mine had a 2000 Neon with 150k on it. He drove 120 miles one way to work for a while. One day this summer I was following him up through the mountains of Va. and we had CB's, he was going 60 for the most part and I said to speed it up some. He came back saying that was it, pedal is down and when we got to the big hills he had to turn off the AC to try and keep up speed.

 

He bought a new truck a month ago. Doesn't miss the Neon one bit, not even the gas mileage. :thumbs:

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By newdude · Posted

      Rise more slowly?  Debatable.  It would run slightly cooler, yes if anything after adding the thermostat delete kit from PPE.   PPE makes a larger front aux cooler which they "claim" will lower temps 45 degrees but I have not used it.     IMO, especially in cold states, I would not want to mess with the first cooler, the oil to water one.  Cold states, you want heat in the transmission for it to shift properly, and you don't want moisture in the ATF.    Ideal temps for automatic transmissions to do their job the best is 175-220F.  Hotter than 220F you start heading towards fluid degradation and shortened fluid life/service intervals.  240F can start varnishing things like the fluid, clutches, etc.

      72 C10 headers question

      By mighty K20 · Posted

      FYI, I used sq body headers on my 72 and they were a perfect fit with zero clearance issues with the rods and Z bar for the clutch  I agree with post on worn mount rubber

      I do most of my yard work before 10. My summer walks are usually at Kroger’s. Inside and yes I’ll do light shopping. Usually by noon you don’t want to be outside from June to September. The mail box is a good walk. I’ll walk there about 3 times before the mail comes. My house has two floors if I feel I need to move I’ll do the stairs. I’ll walk down the lane to our rent house with clippers trimming branches along the driveway. There’s always something to do.

      There is a sign at my chiropractors office that says, "Don't quit, take a break." Sound advice.    On a 65 degree day (F) I can still work pretty darn hard (I'm 72). On a 85 degree day with a good deal of humidity it takes me three days to do what in took at 65 degree in three hours. If I work to muscle exhaustion (back) it will take me days more to recover. Taking breaks to prevent that is most useful. A lift belt has been very useful in preventing both.    Minister was giving a talk the other night where he was speaking of age and he used a clock to illustrate the human lifespan and it's ability to task. 1 to 45 was the second hand, scurry about. 46 to 70 the minute hand. Slower but...71 and up the hour hand...Hummm....until that talk I felt more like the minute hand. 😭   Then he says, the most useful hand on the clock is the hour hand. Without it you can't tell time. (Hour of the watch). I felt a bit better knowing we over 70 are useful. 🥹

      I still do oil changes on our 2 vehicles and my motorcycle. I have a robot mower for the yard but can't use it in my backyard because my wonderful dog keeps digging the guide wire up so I have to push mow it. Not much of a walker especially during the summer, just to hot. I will ride my e-bike almost daily which helps to keep my knees and hips loose and helps with my balance. That's my story an I'll stick with it. We have been in the mid to high 90's with a feel like temp of 105 to 109 for the last month with no rain. We finally got some rain which cooled it off but were still stuck with the humdity. I do pace myself and that's why it takes me 2 days to do something that used to take a couple of hours.   Peace
