I just sign a few more Executive Orders and then head for the golf course.



72 hours finishing an application so we could train on it immediately after. What a shitshow.


Oh, there’s a few engines like the Northstar and the Toyota 5.7 where the starter is actually under the intake manifold, effectively inside the engine. The amount of stuff you need to take off to even see the starter would make your eyes water.


I will often drive a screwdriver into the bottom a filter, but this one is impossible to get to and even if I did, it would dribble on the exhaust pipe.


Or just going outside and ejecting that puppy without touching anything except the other side of your nose. Farmer blow FTW.


I have a truck where the oil drain plug is directly over the axle. I have to strap an offset funnel under the drain to get it to not splash all over the fuck, and of course, it’s not easy to get that stay put so inevitably I have oil everywhere. Same truck has the oil filter tucked up where I need a special oil filter wrench with a ratchet and extensions to remove it, and when you pull the filter out, you have to tip it so it spills the oil inside everywhere.

I had an idea a long time ago of a website where you can crowdfund a private investigator to find engineers that do shit like this, and a crew to go over to their house and beat them halfway to death.




And that was also step 9, according to his comments yesterday.



So, a small town?

I moved back to the farm and my fucking god, everyone knows what everyone else is doing to the finest detail. It’s a little creepy. Oh, and anyone without a Facebook account has to be hiding something.

Like a baby. Just like a baby.

I’ve actually slept through a complete landing, disembarkation of half the plane, then taking off. Woke up completely unaware we did our stopoff already.

I may have been recovering from a hangover, but whatevs.


Pay off some bills, and try to win another one so I can pay off the rest.


And here I use Windows and get into a blind rage within 5 minutes at how much fucking around there is getting devices working properly, and then they just drop out for no apparent reason.




Even if I put on a neoprene mask and scarf, I could only do one run and then had to go into the lodge for half an hour to warm up. It was brutal, but I think I still have a pic of the sign at the lift telling the temperature. They shut down the gondola because they were afraid to put people up on it.
