I saw a sign for fresh eggs by my house out in the sticks. I drove down the dirt road in my wife's little Fiat and pull into this place. There's a bunch of really rough looking bikers there and they don't look friendly. I told my buddy that I think we just made a wrong turn. A big guy with a bald head, no shirt, covered in tattoo's walks up to us and asks what in the hell are we doing on his property. He wasn't happy. I nervously ask. "Do you sell eggs?' I saw the sign. Now everything changes. He's all friendly and tells me. "Oh no. It's the house 3 doors down on the right'. Those eggs are good. So I thanked him and got the hell out of there fast. A lot of trouble for eggs but he was right. They were good eggs.  I bought duck eggs too. But they just tasted like eggs to me.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Pertaining to the Grateful Dead posts ... I recently watched a doc on R.Crumb called Crumb. They asked him about his relationship with the Dead since he did some artwork for them. He said he hated their music lol.
If you are into R.Crumb you should look up the movie Crumb on one of the streamers. Its really good, I had no idea he was such an odd duck, along with his family. He had a couple sisters but they declined to be in the doc.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
sometimes the simplest things can screw ya up...
my crewcab developed a bad lope at idle. running a pro flo 1 (ya, i know, old skool and just old) so started doing everything possible to correct it. bought a new air plenum, didn't do jack...bought a new fuel pump, also didn't do jack, new plugs and wires, still nada. figured it was a vacumm leak somewhere so started spraying starter fluid all over the throttle body. soon as i hit the base of the throttle body it would smooth out, installed new gaskets, still no change. got a little more precise with the starter fluid, soon as i hit the secondary throttle shaft, it ran good. double and triple checked- ok, must be the throttle shaft. ordered a reamer kit and re-bushed the shaft, now it should work....nope...  after letting the truck sit for a month, decided to bite the bullet and order a whole new fuel injection system (major $ north of the border) well today i went to go over it one last time before dropping a few grand on a new system, pulled the throttle body off and ran my hands all over my vac lines. i had already done this last month with no luck, but just had to double check. sure enough, the map sensor hose was boogered. didn't notice it the first time cause it runs under the intake, and the port is about an 1/8" from the sec. throttle shaft. here's what i found so instead of dropping big dollars on a new fuel injection, it cost me $0.00 cents for a new piece of hose and the crew runs like a charm again..... |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Had our willow taken down. It was a constant battle keeping off the roof. Recently a rather large branch came crashing down on the roof. Thankfully no damage. Had the tree guy come out an remove the branch, took him a long time. It was still partially attached to the main part of the tree. After a health inspection we made the call to remove the tree. It was a bummer even though I had a love hate relationship with it haha! Going to have to get back up on the roof and clean it up.

Holy cow, that's a lot of money.
Don't follow a De Lorean on the road. All the "lines" disappear when it goes by.

Um excuse me?!? Apparently “rare but not desirable” is no longer a thing…

I like how the one ad says the car has a Porsche 996 shifter. I happen to own a 996 shifter. It's attached to my 996. It came with the car. It's just a shifter. I use it to shift. And my 996 would eat those Delorean's for breakfast and spit them out. They can keep them.
