Due to me not having much time to spend here anymore, here is a little post from me
Let me leave you with this "Monel Education Lesson"
Dumb, stupid things you have done this past week
1) Pissed in a toilet while intoxicated, and forgot to pick up the seat first. Noticed error when leg got sprayed.
2) Decided it would be a good idea to make a "Soda Can Cannon", and use WAY too much boom powder. My neighbor just finally got his window replaced.
3) Replace the main oil seal on a 86 S-10 pickup on the Labor day weekend. After all three days of working on it, my transmission is now leaking. I went from...
A 3 day weekend. 1 small oil leak from engine. Lots of time.
to...
No more 3 day weekend. Add 1 major tranny leak. No time. No operating truck. No way to work/etc. Minus $215.21 in repair costs for engine seals, parts I broke, etc. No beer (Had to give it to boss to let me work on it in the shop) Much frustration. Add 1 Cresent wrench, 1 Ford wrench, 1 timing light, and a cheap flat head screw driver (It was on sale
) to my tool box, but remove 1 meter, 2 pin punches, 1 jet light, 1 bore scope, and 1 cylinder micrometer that got destroyed in my fits of frustration.
Lesson? Don't try to french kiss a badger. Or household kitchen appliances for that matter. Both bite like hell.
