    Might have a lot of free time for that. I have a gut feeling either I'll be seeing my walking papers next week or we'll have our hours cut. Not much work coming in because of all this.

    I "think" there's a set of flyweights under that big cone on the front cover. Faster they spin, the more it changes the pump's rotational timing in relation to the cam/crank. Basically turns the pump back a few degrees so fuel is injected earlier to allow proper burn.

    If I'm wrong I'm sure I'll be promptly corrected lol.

    Dad's advise was always carry 300 bucks cash in you left boot. That way you have a chance to bail yourself out!

    Last I heard we have 14 people in the state that was on a Egypt cruise infected....and they've pretty much shut everything down. Mama works with the public for the state so she is getting updates all day long.....and dealing with employees freaking out because of the way this is being handled.

    I made peace with with man upstairs years ago....people just need to chill out. People's rights are being stomped all over. With the crap that is being done they need to declare a military state.

    This isn't a political post it's the fact that alot of people's life's are being affected from the the decisions being made and the fallout from it is gonna be huge.

    Mama just got a shipment of paper from the Amazon so we are good there....enough alcohol around here to disinfectant half the county......just worried we will run out of mixer.

    We can always do shots!!!!

    GM dealer I worked for lost the onsite warranty contract during last downturn. I went back to the city to work for them in the main shop. But started looking for the future. Got my class 1, 5 years experience. Bought this bus company 6 years ago. There is opportunity when life forces your hand.

    For the win, this guy just pulled a identical anti rattle clip from his junk drawer. Not sure what it was from or why it wasn't used. But its identical!

    Should I wake the Mrs. To tell her who is stupid for all the dumb stuff he keeps?

    Over 8 or so years, I think I had 3 people ask if I could turn their rotors.

    This was one of them.

    He was a one shot wonder and his tone was clear he thought I was trying to rip him off.

    That's how it always seems to go. I always seem to find something better when life forces my hand. I've got a few irons in the fire to play with right now.
