AAARGHH!

 Well, so far I have mangled just about everything. Went to replace the thermal fan clutch on my wifes 99 explorer yesterday.

After about 20 minutes of fruitless searching for my quite large metric open end wrench i use to loosen the nut, i said screw this and came inside to sit down and surf the net for the rest of the day. Texted my grandson to see if he had it, to no avail.

Today, went with my wife to her dr. appointment, mainly because the car has a few quirks with the oil gauge and tendency to overheat because of the fan clutch, so i drove her. Don't feel comfortable letting her loose by herself in that car until i fix a few things.

So, after i asked if she minded going by harbor freight with me so i could get an open end wrench to beat her car to death with. Got there, went to the wrench section, they do not have  individual large metric wrenches. Nor did they have the size i wanted in a set. And apparently only 1 person on duty in the whole dam store.

But i bought a few things, one of which is a chrome deep socket set. The lady asked if i was a club member(apparently you get some sort of discounted price if you are a member), i told her i didn't do that. Then she told me that there was no warranty on the sockets if i wasn't a member. What??  No member, no warranty?? What??

Took them anyway, but i gotta check that out. I don't believe she knew what she was talking about, or she was trying to get me to buy a membership.

On the way home, i stop at the local napa parts house. A 36mm wrench is $30. Ho Lee Fuk.

Get home, let the car cool off. Go out, start to loosen the nut, but the water pump pulley wants to turn. Tried to simply tighten the belt tensioner to stop slipping, that didn't work. Wanted to try a spanner wrench to hold, but this one doesn't have any holes for that. Wound up hitting the wrench with a hammer and broke it free that way.  After it is loose, then have to remove the shroud and take the fan and shroud out at the same time. Well guess what i did. I was stupid and left the ratchet in the tensioner pulley and the shroud locked against that. Got that out of the way and then the right hand tab for bolting down the shroud got caught on a line, and because it is brittle it broke right the eff off. AAARGHH!

Got the whole shitaree out finally, and some sort of dust is falling out of the old fan clutch, must be why it isn't working properly. 

Got the fan clutch and shroud put back in record time for me, fired it up, went on a test drive, and preliminary results are good. But only time will tell.

A Game of Animal Football

 The animals were bored. Finally, the lion had an idea. "I know a really exciting game that the humans play called football. I've seen it on T.V."

He proceeded to describe it to the rest of the animals and they all got excited about it so they decided to play. They went out to the field and chose up teams and were ready to begin.
The lion's team received. They were able to get two first downs and then had to punt. The mule punted and the rhino was back deep for the kick. He caught the ball, lowered his head and charged. First, he crushed a roadrunner, then two rabbits. He gored a wildebeast, knocked over two cows, and broke through to daylight, scoring six.
Unfortunately, they lacked a placekicker, and the score remained 6 - 0.
Late in the first half the lion's team scored a touchdown and the mule kicked the extra point. The lion's team led at halftime 7 - 6. In the locker room, the lion gave a peptalk.
"Look you guys. We can win this game. We've got the lead and they only have one real threat. We've got to keep the ball away from the rhino, he's a killer. Mule, when you kick off be sure to keep it away from the rhino."
The second half began. Just as the mule was about to kick off, the rhino's team changed formation and the ball went directly to the rhino. Once again, the rhino lowered his head and was off running. First, he stomped two gazelles. He skewered a zebra, and bulldozed an elephant out of the way. It looked like he was home free. Suddenly at the twenty yard line, he dropped over dead. There were no other animals in sight anywhere near him. The lion went over to see what had happened. Right next to the dead rhino he saw a small centipede.
"Did you do this?" he asked the centipede.
"Yeah, I did." the centipede replied.
The lion retorted, "Where were you during the first half?"
"I was putting on my shoes."

Mask Wearing is Bullshit

 This mask wearing bullshit needs to come to a screeching ass halt. A family gets kicked off a plane because a 2 year old, who is eating food, didn't have their mask on. So this bitch of an airline attendant goes all powers that be on these people. What a bunch of fucking shit. When watching the videos listen to the part where the guy says people were heard on the phone planning this fiasco.

Chauvin Trial

 I could give much less than 2 shits for either the police or this dead asshole Floyd.

In the trial the judge doesn't like the emt witness lady arguing with defense counsel, and he chastises her. Says to just answer the questions asked and to not volunteer information. At that point i probably would have said something unfortunate to him and wound up in jail. 

I wish that lady would have told that judge to shove it straight up his crusty old ass, cause i don't like judges either.

So I went up to him and said,
"Come on, how about giving a man a break?"
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.
So I called him a pencil-necked Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for also having parked partially on the pavement!!
So I called him a son of a mutant pig. He finished the second ticket and put it on the car with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket!!
This went on for about 20 minutes and the more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote. I didn't give a damn.
My car was parked around the corner...

Joke

 Bottle Of Wine

Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.

Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.

'What in bag?' asked the old woman. Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, 'It's a bottle of wine. I got it for my husband.'

The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said, 'Good trade.'

He has signed an executive order that prevents vaccine passports. Good for him, i wish my asshole governor would do the same. I might have to move to Florida just so i can vote for this guy. Of course if he runs for prez i can do that anyway.

HEART WARMING LAWYER STORY…..

One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

He asked one man, “Why are you eating grass?

“We don’t have any money for food,” the poor man replied.   “We have to eat grass.”  “Well, you can come with me to my house and I’ll feed you,” the lawyer said.

“But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there eating grass under that tree.”

“Bring them along,” the lawyer replied.

Turning to the second poor man he stated,  “You may come with us, also.”   The other man, in a pitiful voice, then said,

“But sir, I also have a wife and six children with me!”

“Bring them all as well,” the lawyer answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task,  even for a car as large as the limousine.

Once under way, one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer and said, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.”

The lawyer replied, “Glad to do it. You’ll really love my place.  The grass is almost a foot high.”

Come on . . . did you really think there was such a thing as a heart-warming lawyer story?
