Racing this weekend so I dropped it back down on the garage floor again - transbrake never got installed, gear swap didn't happen and rear disc brake conversion still not done. Also got the car trailer cleared off and put the winch battery on trickle charge.

You know you ruined the entire truck, putting that Chevy logo on the grill, right?

Now you have to sacrifice 250 Model Ts, 500 Falcons, 1,000 Mavericks and a 1964.5 Mustang as an offering to Henry Ford.

Just install a Y fitting in the A/C drain line. Attach a hose with a funnel to it. You can eliminate the whole pee bottle thing all together.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Better yet. Get a body from up north. Then all you have to do is aim for the big hole under your feet.

My credo
Crossed threads are tight threads.
Until I get far away from L.A., the gas station bathrooms are filthy, have queues, or locked and require tokens. And there's no where to pee in nature without risking a ticket or worse. The pee jar is for such emergencies only.

We use fabric softener jugs in the deer blind. A friend who drives trucks uses one and suggested we try them. They work well and you can't tell whats in it.

Just don't make a mistake and try to wash your clothes with it.

Hauled a snake off that was camping out in the chicken coop. Pretty good sized rat snake, about 4 feet long.

If it's not broken Don't Fix It!
Put a small can of r134a with sealer in my a/c system. Pump leaks out the front seal so the hope is this will get me through the rest of the warm season.

Took it for a lunch break and a quick packie run on the way back and found that my blower fan is making quite a bit of noise so in the next month or so I will be ordering a new one so it doesn't crap out in the middle of winter when I dont work on cars unless absolutely necessary.
