How many of you have been asked for a muffler bearing?

Caje,

While you are there, you should get him to recalibrate the knueter valves.

Pipe stretcher, flight line. red and black paint, geolograph torque wrench, bucket of steam etc etc.

In the oil patch having a new guy (worm) fill the water table on top the derrick was a thing. Get him to pack a full 5 gallon bucket of water up 150ft of ladder to fill the water table. Once he got there he would discover there was nothing that could possibly hold water. My crew once sent this FNG up the derrick to do this. Kids was kind of a runt and when I saw him about 1/2 way up, I screamed at him to get his rear back down. Dummy carried the full bucket all the way down. What ya gonna do?

The smoking is keeping them healthy, lol.
It only takes a small amount of heat to kill this virus. Smoking should be allowed everywhere now, especially in crowded areas.
Please, excuse me while I light mine up.

Guy would have walked here. Law says you need headlights 1/2 before sunset to 1/2 hour after sunrise or headlights or at any time you cannot see persons or vehicles for 500 feet

No mention of needing them at any other time.

Our law was that vehicles were required certain equipment before being allowed on highways. All the dude had to do was buy two headlight bulbs and show the judge the receipt and it would have been dismissed. I told him that at the time.

Sigh.

Wood Shop class in jr high was one of the best I remember. If you cut a piece of wood too short the teacher would send you to the tool bin for a board stretcher.

 

[PALADIN85020]

I remember in high school that one our favorite sports was driving up next to someone and yelling "Hey! Your Johnson bar is dragging!" More than often than not, the car would pull over for the driver to take a look-see as to what the heck we were yelling about...

Another mental conundrum. Today is both National Barbershop Quartet Day and National Day of Silence.

Somebody didn't think this through.

 

[WuzzFuzz]

Caje, Here all the time I thought those folks down there in the swamps used their imagination or were thrifty.

By just moving the one remaining headlight to the center, holding it in place with some Duck tape and making it a Cyclops...Problem solved.

If the ole Tucker car could do it and get away with it.!!!!!!

You must have had low IQ drivers out there. Had you caught one of us rednecks with no bulbs in headlights, you would have been filling out a report on stolen light bulbs. We would have even thrown in a suspect, of someone we had a beef with.

. . . Or share some ‘shine!

 

[Skwirl]

Anybody ever needed a wire stretcher?

Ya not having headlights is a duh anyway. I wish more people woulod turn them on during the day. On a grey, rainy or showy days itsure makes you show up better even if you d n't need them to see.

Years ago in a another lifetime Boss had dear old Blanche the bookkeeper call the rental company for a vacuum powered window sealant removal device called a caulk (bleep) er.

In PA we are required to have our headlights on any time we are using our windshield wipers to deal with weather problems.

Years ago I got a job on a construction crew. On about the third day somebody sent me to the tool room to bring them a box of twenty-penny nails.


Having years of experience helping my father with carpentry and cabinet making jobs, I KNEW that the largest nail available was a ten-penny. Obviously this was one of those left-handed monkey wrench things to do to the new guy. So I ignored it.


For some reason they got upset with me when I did not bring them that box of twenty-penny nails.

Anybody ever needed a wire stretcher?

Not only needed one, but used one many times fixing barbed wire fences on the ranch. Still have a couple in the pole barn.
