  2. Lawyers, in my limited experience, usually represent their own self interests above anything and everything else, but a few of them have great morals and social ethics a accomplish a LOT of good...

  4. Math for Motorheads can be quite interesting, for example, to figure engine displacement multiply bore x bore x .7854 x stroke x number of cylinders, you can even figure speed using tire diameter, engine RPM, transmission and differential gear ratios and a couple of additional factors

  8. "Is" means "Is this the first time I'm gonna get beat to the REPLY button today?", because, first, if you don't succeed, try again and if you don't succeed the second time, try again and again, for as Thomas Edison quipped "I haven't failed 10,000 times, I just haven't figured out the right right way to do it yet", or something along that line.

I ordered one each of the '29 Model A Roadster and the '30 Model A Coupe kits just for this purpose, a Roadster Pickup with the injected Buick Nailhead from the '30 Model A Coupe kit and a Closed Cab Pickup with the blown Small Block Chevy and the Halibrand Wheels from the '29 Model A Roadster kit.

  14. 40 winks in a rambling Rambler, or better yet, a sailing yacht while rambling, roaming, meandering and exploring the world while we're still ambulatory is something I wish my wife and I had the time and money to experience
  15. Went out on a service call to replace a steering column that another employee had diagnosed as a broken ignition rack because the ignition key would not turn. When I arrived, I verified the ignition key not turning (which is not usually caused by an ignition rack failure), broke out my trusty pocket flash light, shined it into the ignition key slot and saw a couple of lock cylinder tumblers laying inside. I keep a used ignition lock cylinder and key on my service truck for this very reason. I temporarily repaired the vehicle with the used lock cylinder and got the truck running and then returned the next day to replace the vehicle's lock set (ignition, doors, etc.). What really irks me is that the vehicle was out of service for three days and shouldn't have been out of service for more than one.
