Lusted after the six cylinder version of that aircooled engine for
years. What a lovely sound they make.


I had the 4 carb Corvair. If you ran it flat out you needed 100 octane
avgas or it would melt. The turbo was also easy to melt.

In high school some older kids made one of them go a little too fast
and it went airborne. One of them didn't survive the flight.

Yeah. Since I put away the timing light and dwell meter I don't get
my hands near a running engine. Checking trans fluid and sometimes
touching around with a steth probe is about it.
Even then I check my sleeves first.


My car has no belts. Power steering and fuel pump on the rear of the
camshaft. Three stage oil pump on the front of the camshaft. Water
pump on the nose of the crank. No fan. No transmission. No electrics.
No doors. No clutch. No tranny. Two wings. Runs on methanol, 2 mpg.
Sprint cars are the best show in racing.

Sprint cars might be cool, but the best show in racing this year was the
NEMA Motocross open Womens class... No doors, no sissy bars;)

Rowdy Mouse Racing, You *wish* you could "play like a girl".

I haven't seen a sleeve do it, but I did see a rag get snatched out of
a guys hand on a high speed lathe, come back around and debrided the
back of his hand.
The guys who worked on check sorters used to say "if you get your tie
caught in there they will have a hard time getting your socks out"

Even the laser printers that were slow by comparison still moved paper
at 32 inches a second.
The check sorters were more like 250 inches a second.
At a bulk mail center in New Jersey, the managers decided a sorting
machine was not running fast enough, so they removed some safety
devices.
A worker was drawn into the machine and crushed.

At another bulk center, management was proudly demonstrating new safety
devices on driverless robot carts. The carts had sensitive bumpers that
would "stop the cart immediately" upon impact, and, if that failed,
there
was an overhead safety rope that if yanked, would stop the cart.

Yup. The manager demonstrating the robocart to the media got in front of
it and let it hit him. It did not stop. It knocked him to the concrete
floor and then ran over him. Lying there on the floor, he couldn't reach
the overhead cable.


Don't you just love it when something like that happens to a kiss-ass
mid-manager.


Especially when the local TV stations are there to witness and videotape
it and show it on the evening news. I don't know if postal management is
as despotic these days as it used to be, but, literally, tens of
thousands of grievances used to be filed each year against the mid and
lower upper managers for contract violations, safety violations, and
waqe-hour violations.

More WAFA bull****.

"the the"? Is this Dumb Don?


Back to the old buttsniffing, eh Dildo Dan?

Hard day at work hauling turds?


Do you have a dumb teenager who wrote that for you?

No, your Dad came over to visit and yanked the keyboard away from me.

He misses you (but not the smell) and wishes you all the best hauling
those stanky turds.

He said he's embarassed that you're a buttsniffer but blamed it on
your mother.
