Hey Shooboy, did the earth move for you today? NY/Canadian Earthquake

Randy, read they felt it in Syracuse. I was in one in the D.R. back in 82 or 83, serious scary.

An idea/name for a new tool maybe?

The "Quake Hammer", I like it!

I didn't feel it at work, but my wife did. I like the "Quake Hammer" idea ! By the way, got too close to the chuck on my lathe tonight with a file, kicked it back hard enough to put the tang of the file halfway through my palm. Then I changed the oil in my son's two day old 1996 Ford Explorer before he headed down the NYState Thruway to Ithaca. It hadn't been changed in 80,000 miles ! That's right, 80,000 miles ago. It has about 240,000 miles on it. I drained out a whole 2 1/2 quarts of what I suppose was oil. An hour later he calls and says the radiator is leaking. 10 minutes after that he calls again and says it's on fire. Now it's at the junkyard. Must have gone in to shock after having it's oil changed. It's been a great day..... Shoo

I think the Click and Clack brothers would have said not to change it...just keep adding as needed.

Well, the engine ran fine. I think the tranny blew up on the old girl. Son said he was going 70 mph. Had a mismatched tire on an all-time 4 wheel drive, probably hell on that old transmission. Think his buddy he got it from just used it around town. Probably should have had a sticker on the dash, "Do not exceed 40mph !!!" Shoo
