I got the beer.



Oh, wait.

Um, I think I need to go back to the store.

There will be a shortage at the shop.

Looks like the truckie was reducing his load by consuming it along the way.

Tofurky. Yum!

More boilable than real walk around turkey.

I'm old and gray and just don't have the energy I had, when I was a young feller.

When I was young I thought it was funny that mom and dad went to bed by 9:30.
Now I wonder how they could stay up that late.

Wouldn’t make any difference to its appeal however ya cook it, compared to real turkey.

Are you made from alumni and steel?

That depends on whether or not he went to college.

I think the idea of vegetarian imitation of meat is hypocritical. If you want the taste get the real thing (not Coke). If you want vegetables prepare them to be the best of what they are.

Good pick.

Of course, some cannibals may be made of alumni, too.

I probably have missed something over the past while, but as you indicate, you had 16 bent valves....how did the pistons fare, after getting a rat-tat-a-tat from the valves ?

Some minor nicks where the valves contacted them, mostly knocking off 190,000 miles of carbon. Doesn't even look like I'll need to deburr them.

Yep, ain't that the case. I recall an older boss I once worked with. She was around 60, which now seems pretty young to me. Anyways she said to me (when I was in my early 40's) .."it's amazing how fast time goes...one moment I was a fast rising young Turk...the next moment it seemed I'm an old fart . "

Good you could save the pistons.

60 is the new 40.

Yes, I don't even plan on splitting the case and removing the reciprocal assembly. The cylinders don't have any scoring, the original cross hatch still looking new. New hoses and timing drive pulleys. Button it up and try for another 200,000 miles.

60 is the new 40.

When I was 60, I did sometimes feel like I was in my 40's, maybe 49. But depending on what I did the previous day, sometimes I felt like 70.

I'm in my 70's now, and my neighbour cuts our grass, clears our snow, but in October and then again in December I meet with my surgeon so he can see how I'm doing with my replacement shoulder...almost a year now since the original surgery.

He will either give me the go ahead to mow grass and shovel snow, or possibly not. As long as my replacement shoulder can handle these tasks, I wouldn't mind to getting back to clearing the snow, cutting the grass.

In the next few weeks I'm going to set my snowblower up for winter, change the oil, grease axles, etc, tighten all bolts, check the drive belts, just in case I can get back to normal duty.

I kind of miss it, well except when a heavy prairie blizzard sweeps in.

My property maintenance machinery, mower and snowblower are long in the tooth. My mower is an '88 Lawnboy 2 stroke (made in Illinois by Johnson/Evinrude) and my snowblower is a '96 MTD, made in Ontario, with a Wisconsin made, Tecumseh Snow King engine.

Regular maintenance keeps these old timers alive.

I said this before, you need one of these.
