Why does it look like the rear-end has giant holes in it?

And please, for the love of god, I need to know everything there is to know about the bike with the ancient, upside-down Lycoming(?)

E: On the flip side, I find temperatures over 25C (77-78F) intolerable, and in Florida I'd basically avoid going outside unless it was Winter.

Torque converters are magical devices that hold BP amounts of oil, just waiting to release the schmoo on an unsuspecting mechanic.

The only way to totally empty a torque converter of fluid is with cleansing oxygenated fire, melting the thing down to its constituent metals and returning the fluid contained within to the sky whence it came.

I've seen a Chevrolet 4.3 V6 (literally 3/4 of a 350 V8 for those unfamiliar) run with open exhaust ports.

For awhile.

It burnt a bunch of valves. (Unsurprisingly.)

Hey 14, Merry Christmas man. Take a moment to reflect on all the rear end that you've kicked, and all the rear end that is lining itself up to be kicked.

And so I said goodbye to my new friend. I could go on about how we had some grand farewell party full of beer and strippers. Cocaine was passed around as party favors while Dave wore a purple dildo on his head like a tiny hat at a cocky angle. (Yes he pointed out the phrasing several times) but at the end of the trip one sees the banality of the real world. The traveling salesman hotel in a frontier town on the edge of the Black Hills. The firm handshake and polite goodbye. Fly on you crazy spaceman. Fly home my friend.

Shouldve locked the thread after this post, imo.

Yup, he's in Seattle. I'm on my way to pick him up. Gonna help him get the bike boxed up, sort out whatever needs sorting with Greyhound, hang out for the afternoon, and get him to the station on time.

Charge his phone, too.

Bonus points if you meet him with a can of silver spray paint.

Pollo Tropical is loving bland as poo poo, and is owned by the same company that owns Taco Cabana. Pollo wound up closing all of their TX locations except for 6 in south Texas last year.

Good chicken should be moist, but Pollo manages to make it... Wet I think is the best word for it. It’s just gross.
