U were saving people.... i have sacrificed stuff to save people... mostly my peace of mind
One of these days they will figure out nurses have ptsd

They should already know it, the simple bastards.


Speaking of, I got a text from my "direct boss weasel." Of course, I had done what they text directed. Yesterday.


I didn't respond.

You just reminded me of getting 200F water inside of a rubber glove... that's the day I QUIT wearing rubber gloves in heat applications and started bare-handing hot water or oil.... I remember that I couldn't get that sumbitch off my hand fast enough!

Remind me of why I don't weld overhead. Ever. Period.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I been down your farm property. Someone, I dunno who, has partially plowed out our second driveway for getting firewood back to up to the farm stand. It’s a mystery. I have a secret plower! Meetings at 8 and 9. Now over. The better half literally just said: “hiya wat!”

She's so smart!!!

You were plowed? By strangers?? You've been raped, obviously.

I hope it was good . . . .

But manufacturers are recommending longer and longer oil service intervals.

We are free to change oil as little or as much as we'd like. Petunia the truck is once every 10K miles. I use great oil, killer filters, and do it every 5K miles.

My mom burnt herself on an ice pack

That sucks! I've done it some with dry ice too...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Someone who studies lubrication and friction...
Wait, that sounds dirty...

Someone who studies rubbing surfac...
No, still not right...

A guy who's into oil...
No, still not it.

Shit, I give up...

Nicely played.

Very nicely played!!!

You're absolutely correct about them being tighter.
They're also running them waaaaay hotter than they used to for "emission standards."

Anvils come with a 170* t-stat and a 7 pound radiator cap. They used to use ethanol as anti-freeze and you have to make sure that it doesn't boil out since it boils 39 degrees before water.

The old car fools talk about running their engines in the winter long enough to boil condensation out of the sumps and I ask them on what planet this is possible since they never get hot enough to boil water unless there's a serious cooling system problem.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Mine on the outside has an off and on switch weatherproof housing. You could go that way. And instead of having an off on switch, use a variable speed switch. As long as it's waterproof you should be fine. Even better.Since the wiring is there, you can put the switch inside and make that a variable speed.

Is there no end to your wondemousness?

No, of course there isn't.

What the Hell was I thinking?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Could it be condensation on the condenser froze up? Now keep in mind, i'm a woman and i'm just spitballing here...lol

That doesn't seem to have ever stopped you before.

*cowers awaiting retribution*

 

[Wat_Tyler]

No shit! I had to look it up.
I'll never forget that now!

There is absolutely no accounting for why Wat remembers what he remembers, but he does.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Do the anvils have an oil filter?

Some do and some don't. It was optional. Oil canisters and plumbing on the driver's side of the engine. Think: inline 8.

Never ever, for any reason, not because it's cheaper or expedites anything.

Except wounds.

I just joined Överhead Wëlder.

We are opening for Dräin Bamäge

It’s really cold today. I can feel it even though the temperature in the house says the boiler is keeping up. There is a chill.

That gave me some names ideas but they're all against the rules.

Thread, board, management, law, nature . . . truly twisted.

You feel the draft. Look for where air moves through (a lit cigarette is easiest, but who smokes any more?) and caulk/fill the hole. Finding air leaks is time consuming.

Oh yes I shaz.

[Wat_Tyler]

Day off today. Had to go do some Dr. Tyler stuff, which costeded a chunk-o'-dollars. Then had to come home and discover that the manglements who ass-raped Wat's plans yesterday did not the first fucking thing to notify the fucking subs. So, Wat tooken care of it, as usual.

St000pid motherfuckers.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Oh, and Wat fell down and went boom on the heathen ice. Landed on the left shoulder having stiffened up so as not to crash the skull into it. Wat's Perpetual Policy: Must Save The Brain!!! Funny thing is, after doing those kinds of things, it makes the most sense to lie there for a minute or two and to take stock of what condition the body is in and whether we want to proceed further. We were good, so we did.

Treacherous shit that.

I found a spot to slip on while shoveling the other morning. Not sure but I just went with it and fell back. Kind of got low to the ground as I was falling? Lucky. I wasn't on anybody's ring camera so only god and I know I did it.

That's good stuff!
I remember having a choice of thermostats for the old Chevy engines, in 5 degree increments.

I'm glad to hear that you made it somewhat of a "controlled fall!"
