I actually have a water cooled muffler bearing on my car.

For one our Ford pickups at work, I’ve purchased exhaust fluid. For real. The stuff exists.

I’ve got 5 gallons in the shed.

I refused to believe the tech when he came and asked me for it. I was convinced he was messing with me. Who‘d have thought.

A friend calls it diesel piss.

When my wife had 6 stores they had a Benz Sprinter diesel. I was driving it one day and almost freaked out when the DEF light lit up on the dash. I had been out of the auto parts game for a decade and had never heard of it.

That’s what we have and it‘s made into an RV.

Hey, here's a good old dude question: Do any of you other old dudes try to use an antenna to pull in TV stations from a distance? I want to try at my cabin which is 65 miles from the towers. The towers are all in Duluth MN on a hill a little above sea level. My place is at around 2,000 feet of elevation, but it is all mature forest between the two locations. Can it be done, or waste of money?

In my area it is a waste of money, because the format was changed about 10 years ago ..

I used an HD antenna at my former place for years. I got all the local channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, etc.). There are a ton of broadcast HD signals but your reception is going to vary based on location. I haven’t tried an antenna yet here at the new place(s).

 

[Cadorman]

I may give it a shot this weekend. We shall see how it goes.

Ahhhh, mechanics that can tell you what's wrong with your car before you bring it in to the shop.

I can communicate with Lamborghini's telepathically using the Vulcan Mind Meld technique...

 

[Inspector #20]

A little harder to communicate with the V-12 Aventador power-plants...

 

[Inspector #20]

The old Rolls-Royce's don't communicate as well....they can be "cranky" at times...



Once you get them going, they "warm up" a little.



Driving them is much more fun, but you better have a tool kit along for the ride. This is the road up to the tram in Palm Springs:

Then, when they found out I had a racing background....They had me teaching for the Lamborghini Academy at Thermal raceway for a while...

I've used that. I just bought the big Antennas Direct model at Best Buy. Hopefully that works and I won't have to buy a big old school model from Channel Master.

 

[Cadorman]

I intend to assemble it as soon as Boo gets off my lap.

 

[Cadorman]

Had to try it out before I go into the wilderness. 62 channels with it leaning against the wall of my walk out basement. It's pointing somewhat in the direction of towers 25-35 miles away and it's 4 feet off the ground, but still in a bowl below the level of the front yard or the street behind us.

That was the top model at 70 miles … at least that's what it said.
