Dechristo Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I've been putting it off this morning... If I go, I'll drive into town, 45 miles out-of-the-way, buy a couple of large six-volt batteries to couple into one large-capacity 12-volt, pick-up a 20oz latte, and drive fifty-five miles up to 10,950' elevation to freeze my ass off while putting a frickin' monster starter-motor into a 453 Detroit Diesel motor requiring me to stand on my head while reaching through scads of hydraulic and electical lines to start the threads on three bolts whose placements can't be seen while holding the monster starter in position.

Dechristo Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 it's so much more comfortable sitting at the computer, spraying, drinking coffee, nibbling on munchables, warm small dog lazing on my raised outstretched legs, the Garden State soundtrack flowing from the audio speakers.

Recycled Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Latte, working on diesels? Now that's cognitive dissonance. Best not let anyone see you wrenching with a latte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
