My dad used to do that. He was a wise man. Also it was a fleet of beetles, so it was like Legos.

I may not end up using this short block. If I don't you can have it. That is a 50/50 though I won't really know till latter in the year.

For years my dad had three identical Ford Ranger trucks. They were all rotted out old wrecks. Whichever one he could get to start on any given day was the one that got the plates put on it.

I laughed yesterday because nothing but a mechanical fuel pump makes the goofy sound of a mechanical fuel pump. Still hear it in my head.

That's part of the fun of meeting each other in person. I can picture you in your basement picking up an old fuel pump and playing with it.
"Yup. Still works. ... Awww."

That reminds me of a back-in-the- Army days. In Germany, as the Battalion Motor Officer (one of my many duties), I was responsible for maintaining over 40 M113 APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers). Since the PLL (Prescribed Load List) (inventory of spare parts) was a joke, we sacrificed one APC to be cannibalized for spare parts. Then when the PLL was replenished we would just stick the part that was removed into the cannibalized track.
(this story is not to be confused with the time we "traded" $90 worth of scotch for a complete M-60 tank, crate engine) |

Can't water plants with my car washing grey water. My well water is so hard I have to run it thru a water softener, otherwise my cars would be one big hard water spot. |
