What the Heck?

Have you ever heard of a variable gap sparkplug? That's a new one on me.

If You are Interested...

If you want some entertainment that is supposed to be family friendly, the Turning Point halftime show may be for you. I did an internet search and found this:

"Turning Point USA's All-American Halftime Show will air live at 8 p.m. ET on February 8, 2026, during the Super Bowl halftime break. The event features performances by Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice, and Gabby Barrett, and is promoted as a patriotic celebration of "faith, family, and freedom."

The internet says Brooks and Dunn may make an appearance. Don't know that for a fact.

Streaming options include:
YouTube (on TPUSA and The Charlie Kirk Show channels)
X (formerly Twitter)
Rumble
Television and digital platforms airing the show:
Daily Wire+
Real America’s Voice
TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network)

Good Morning

 

Hey, Did You Guys Hear About This??

 Marines Remind the WHO You Don't Keep What Doesn't Belong to You

The World Health Organization (WHO) refused to return the US Flag to Rubio after President Trump withdrew from the organization.

President Trump sent the US Marines to capture the flag.

The WHO claimed they had not approved the US withdrawal. Sec Rubio said, "FAF0". pic.twitter.com/kAwLRsgRRc

I like Rubio. He doesn't seem to play around much. He always seems to know what he is talking about.

And so far I haven't heard of him getting rattled by anything.

As for the WHO, fuck em. 

Personally, I think the marines should have videoed the entire exercise and made our leftwing media play it nonstop.

Can you envision the exploding heads of cnn etc??? 

Good Afternoon Folks.

 I got a new dog. Named him Five Miles.

Now I can walk Five Miles twice a day.

Heard in the office: Hey Jill? Yeah? I'm gonna have to lay You or Jack off. Jill: Well, it's gonna have to be option 2, I have a terrible headache.

Is 50 Cal Too Big for this machine?

 Maybe go down to 308? or even 5.56??

Transmission

 I am having some transmission issues. Got a couple of codes, some shuddering issues. 

First step for me was to get a trans fluid filter replacement and fluid refill at my oil change place. I figger what the heck, can't hurt, maybe it will help.

I am thinking dirty fluid could cause the problems I am having.

Except they do not do that. Can't afford to stock all the filters they said.

Wait a couple of weeks. Today I called 2 trans repair shops and asked for a quote on a transmission fluid flush with filter replacement. Neither shop will do that. Drain and fill only.

I called a garage and they basically said I was stupid. Not in so many words. He said you do that and you will burn out your transmission, guaranteed. He also said no need to replace the filter, the flush will clean the filter.

So looks like I will have to diy a fluid/filter replacement. I am SO looking forward to laying on that cold hard concrete.

What are your thoughts on this subject???

The Left is Getting Even More Batshit Crazy

 Seattle Healthcare Worker Trashes ICE and Suggests Women Start Firing Bullets

Self-Described ‘Antifa General’ Arrested in Dramatic Pre-Dawn Raid in Minneapolis After Calling for People to Join Him in Armed Uprising Against ICE

We all know the left is crazy, but they are trying to take their crazy to a higher level.

I hope they do get their guns out and start shooting. Then the normal people would get their guns out and finish this thing in just a couple of hours.

Armed protesters obstructing ICE? A couple of Roof Koreans could take care of that.

Good morning. Have some good old fashioned music.

I Like This Guy

 

Ibuprofen is my Friend.

 Yesterday I went crazy. I actually did some work.

Changed the oil in my grandson's truck. He is transferring to germany soon and brought it home to keep here while he is there.

Anyway. I don't have a lift to raise it up or a pit to walk under it. What I do have is a pretty good floor jack. So I raised it up and crawled under it. On the cold hard concrete.

Been tossin and turnin all night,  my lower spine is killing me. Finally gave up the ghost and took 4 ibuprofen about 30 minutes ago, around 4:30 AM.

It seems to be easing up a little.

I decided to do it myself because it costs up to $80 to let someone else change it for you. That's worth it. Except I'm trying to cut my expenses down some. Prices on groceries and gas are sky high here and not looking to come down soon.

I bought valvoline restore and protect 5w-30 oil in a 5 quart bottle. Cost $38.99 for the jug. Now get this. Same oil in a 1 quart bottle is $11.99 per quart. 5 quarts of that is $60. 

I have a bunch of oil filters for the truck already, so I didn't have to put out for that this time.

I have watched videos about this particular valvoline oil. They all have good things to say about it, so I am giving it a shot.

What oil do you guys use???

Good Morning

 So. I just rolled a joint.

I bet you're jealous.

Don't be. It was my ankle.

That car has one hell of a strong window.

 Watch as these guys try to break that window. 

This is the guy to vote for governor in california

 I was able to type this with both hands. 

You know why?

Because I have good sense and didn't pick up a live flash bang today.

Thoughts for Today

 Siri, why do i always mess it up with women.

Welllll, to start with, I'm Alexa asshole!

Today I learned that PornHub is a canadian company. I bet if they blocked it in america, this whole trade war would end permanently.

I can't dance to save my life. But when I step in dog shit, I can moonwalk better than michael jackson.

I wish we had stopped at Standard Torx

Okay, I can see why the torx was invented. But doggone it, why the hell did you need to make MORE of these godforsaken drive styles?

Wasn't one enough? How many sets of Torx do I need to keep in  my toolbox?

Yesterday I wanted to change a turn signal bulb. T8 torx to remove the screw. Well guess what? It's not a torx but some version and now I gotta figure out which one and go get a set. It's not the security set, I tried that. All I know is T8 didn't fit and none of the others did either. 

 "There are several distinct  styles, each designed for specific applications and offering different levels of security or torque capacity." 

 The main types include:

• Standard Torx (T): The original six-point star-shaped design, commonly used in electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. Sizes range from T1 to T100. 

• Security Torx (TR): Also known as tamper-resistant Torx, these have a pin in the center of the star pattern to prevent unauthorized access. Sizes range from TR8 to TR60. 

• Torx Plus (IP/EP): An improved version introduced around 1990 to increase torque and reduce wear. It features more square lobes. Sizes are designated as IP (Internal Plus) from IP1 to IP100 and EP (External Plus) from EP1 to EP42. 

• External Torx (E-Torx): Used with socket wrenches or ratchets, these have the star pattern on the outside of the fastener. Sizes range from E1 to E100, with E8 equivalent to T40. 

• Torx Paralobe: A further development with 6% longer flanks, providing up to 20% more torque than Torx Plus and 50% more than standard Torx. 

• Micro Torx (MR): Smaller versions like MR0 to MR5, used in delicate electronics such as cameras and laptops. 

• Torx Pin-Head (TP): Very small, used in internal devices like laptops and cameras. Sizes range from TP000 to TP6.
