Sitting at the Vision Center, waiting to get my cataract removed. The had a cancellation, so today rather than, oh, December. I can't wait to see out of both eyes again! Even better, we've hit our max out of pocket for the year, so total cost is $370.

Wasn't there some link that using normal compressor air damages TPMS sensors due to oxygen corrosion? But yeah, honestly, you only need pure nitrogen if you race or live in a scorching desert.

So 2014 might be looking up for me. I do some work for one of my customers on his old cars when there is something he cant do. He loves cars and knows a little about them but hes not much of a mechanic so he calls me when he needs something. I got his 48 Buick Roadmaster back running and stopping a few years back when he wanted to sell it, stuff like that. He just retired and hes fairly well off and wants to flip old cars for profit and he wants to hire me to both figure out what we could make money on and to do all the mechanical work. If it works out its seriously a dream come true. I told him last night the best thing to do it get stuff from the south and west to bring back here to the Northeast and said he will fund it. I have a meeting with him on Dec 4th to go over the details some more. Definitely going to need some help from goons local to anything I find to go look at the car and pay a finders fee. I'm soooooo stoked!

Did you know that hello.gif is actually a JPEG? Man I just can't handle this cold. I thought it sucked BEFORE I became a human crash test dummy. Even with my daily pill regiment and various surgeries- this poo poo sucks. I really want to go out and wrap up the wrenching on the Cheby (and a few minor things on the Ferd), but my hands just won't work. I get outside and everything just seizes up tighter than my sphincter the first time I saw a CSB pic. ObAside: Chrome wanted to change sphincter to spinster.

bacon grease used instead of butter on the griddle for pancakes makes things amazing. Better keep it in the fridge/freezer though, it goes rancid otherwise.

I fill old pickle jars with my bacon grease and then throw them out in one solid containable unit when they're full. A few years ago we had to do a "make your own gifts" thing for Christmas and I briefly considered turning an almost-full one into a candle.

Wait what kind of fancy bacon do you buy where the grease isn't so full of salt no life can survive in it? I cringe thinking how much of that crap is clogging my arteries right now. I am hoping for nano grease eating bots that I can straight line into my heart.

Substantially increased the life of the tires and they never had to worry about punctures again. Some of the Princess Auto "forklift tires" are already rubber carcasses filled with basically expanding foam. They produce hilarious burnouts as the smoke cloud becomes an ejaculatory stream of burning isocyanate foam.

Stop buying that grocery store packaged poo poo and go to a proper butcher to buy your meats. Seriously, there isn't much change in cost but the flavor is so much better when buy from a local butcher. Your bacon shouldn't shrink to a third of its former self as you cook it.

There are services that fill industrial tires with foam so you never have to give a poo poo about punctures. They don't balance though, so forget about highway speeds. Also, don't tractor tyres get filled with brine?

Psssshhhh, all the cool kids these days are rocking tweels. The new 7-11 near my gym has a trick air/vacuum thing. Deposit your money, it defaults to 32 PSI, you can set it up or down by pressing the requisite arrows (goes at least as high as 60, when I topped up my spare). Stick the nozzle on the valve stem, it reads the pressure, adds (or removes) a little bit of air, checks again, until it's at your set pressure. It's fun to use.
