I was just telling my kind of stepson about the certain placement of his hand and how he wood smash his finger. He let me know in his 14 yr. old smartness that my way might not be the best way, but is what works best for me. I walked out of the room laughing at the super smart smarty after he wacked his finger like I told him he was, sometimes it's good to be right.

Not one time did he act like I was an idiot, on the contrary, he seemed to enjoy having me around, asking questions and talking cars. He's a cool dude. How are people going to remember you? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I would try to say this in my 90 year old voice, Its just me but, sonny .. Id rather use Square Port headers on those Square port Heads. Ive been known to gasket match the ports to the header flange, even though were talkn about the exhaust side of the head ... Sonny, I know its your HotRod and you can do what you want but, I could still slap the back of your head if needed too Now youngn, Im old and set in my ways, said Smokey Yunick. LOL,
I saw a homeless guy get off the bus today and I couldn't help but think...how does he know it's his stop?
And if you look at the majority of his post, he likes to welcome people to the HAMB. For someone that doesn't like stupid questions, He surely doesn't seem to have the answers either. Looks like we have our very own greeter. .
The best thing about dating a homeless girl is.... When the date is over.. You can drop them off anywhere.......
as i have always said,there are no stupid questions.that's how we learn.another thing,when we are at the shop we use the term"thinking out loud"and usually come up with the solution to fix the problem.but i also think that hearing is important too.that's why the good lord gave us two ears.we are supposed to hear twiced as much as we talk.
Yes,,good one,,That's the same as we can't close our ears but can close our mouth. Loburban is an assigned greeter here? It'd be fun to meet most of you guys.
great muttley, just what i needed at 830 am an eyefull of the hoff. now i get to carry that with me all day.
I've got a stupid question (actually two); How's that marketing technique workin' for ya? Sold anything yet?
It's a different world today. In the 60's I would watch and listen and learn. Talk and you got a smack or blamed for any problem. Today the kids mouths are going faster than there brains. They know it all cause they have a 4" muffler on their Honda and they look up the answer on their cell phone.
Here's one. What the hell does that mean? I've never heard it other than that movie and my dumb ass can't decipher it.
And i was taught there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. Besides i'm only smart enough to answer the dumb ones. I might add though if your asking a question do it cause you want to know the answer and not just to strike up a conversation.
The young people today live in a disposable world. They don't want to know how to fix anything because they don't have to............just throw it away and buy new. Tried buying wiper blade refills lately? They make you buy the whole friggin' wiper blade. Seems wasteful to me, but it's 'covenient.' I predict that these younger generations will pay an enormous price for the covenient lifestyles they lead. Back in the late '50's my old-man (brought up during the depression) used to tell me that this country needed to go through another depression. If he was still alive he'd be real disappointed with the fact that the present recession hasn't changed much with regard to the younger folks being any more resourceful.
I've been restoring a model A for the last couple of years. All I hear is how easy they are to work on. Many an old man has saved me from grief by telling me how to do things the right way. I listen to them even if I know the answer. Even though I am over 40 I am still a punk ass kid in the Model A hobby. I think the listening covers my ass for a bucket full of stupid questions I have undoubtibly asked.
Sorry what I ment was he asked me some of the wildest questions I have ever been asked about a car. Lists of them, pages of questions .
Must be..??? I have nothing to say about anyones descent. Just the guys questions were wacky and he lives in Poland.
