Actually a few people have fallen thousands of feet and lived.

Yeah but most of them are doing the Hawking dance the rest their life. Had only one close mate live through bad jump. Man he is all sorts of messed up.

You hear stories of chute failure and they hit the ground and walked away from iit. Oddly enough, it always happens when cameras are not around, but the ones who hit and stay down but still live, there are always cameras-

I imagine you would be messed up a lot of ways.
Here's a 17 year old girl who was on a plane which fell out of the sky. Fell into the Amazon forest to boot. She was the only survivor.

Folks,

Time for a bit of libation. This is a stout that I brewed up recently from a kit.

When I was in the eighth grade some kid told me how to make what he called German Scnapps with potatoes.
I tried it and although I did taste it, didn't drink it. There was definitely alcohol formed. Wish I could remember the recipe.
I seldom drink but it would be fun to make some beer.
So did you wake up on the floor or in some stranger's house? Don't send that recipe to "her"

 

[bill from lachine]

HBP,

Beer is fairly tame and would take a lot to forget the night before so to speak....at least for me must be my celtic blood....

 

[Rookster]

[Hillbilly Prince]

I ordered a new IAC . It might not of liked the cleaning I gave it . Going to replace it first,see what happens .
Symptoms are --- Cold start is perfect, 1 or 2 cranks & fires up. Climbs to 1,000 rpm for a minute (normal). Then drops to 700 rpm (normal).
But after it warms up it climbs to 1,500 and will not come down.
And if that doesn't work I'll install a (IAC) adjuster plate.

Another area to look at is your exhaust manifold bolts. If you find any loose, could well be your problem.

 

[Simon1]

Thanks releventchair.
We'll get figured out Your fuel pump experience is exactly why its not in a 'shop' . Some of these so called "mechanics" cause more problems than they fix.

Your garage is probably better equipped than some shops.
From time to time I have to replace some of my vacuum lines due to cracks from heat stress. Some lines run close to engine block as well as the heat build up under my hood is severe.

You mean this car?

 

[Simon1]

How'd you find it ? Did you drink my Mountain Dew that was under the seat ?

One can. Then I traded the rest to a hobo for his lucky sock because I lost one in the dryer.
I found it behind Tom's shed. After he paid me to tow it away.

He is going to sell it for scrap in order to help subsidise his "Guest" addition to his house.

He has guests? You mean the lady with the neatly trimmed beard?

 

[Simon1]

Yeh, she is a lady, but I guess I did not see the beard.

 

[Hillbilly Prince]

Maybe that was Tom I saw?

Excuses, have a great one for you guys.

How many folks here like them.

I have a great one for you guys; just finishing up my rounds here in Europe. This morning I show up at 0600 hours to the meeting. I drove up from Italy last night to Salzburg for this meeting. Keep in mind I do not this money, these meetings are to pitch for a government grant, if it sounds like the US Gov could get behind it then it will move forward to the next stage.

Zero Six, here at the hotel in the conference room, I am not even checked in yet, but have everything in the conference room set up. 15 minutes go by and I head to the breakfast area to get me a glass of orange juice. Two fellas sitting in there talking about what a great night they had, clearly they did.

I head back and wait; 0715 rolls around and I get a phone call, they said they where stuck in traffic, but are parking now and will see me soon.

Man that seems odd, you been stuck in traffic since before our meeting started and you wait to tell me about when you get to the parking lot. & fellas walk in moments later from this think tank seeking government grants. The one goes on and on about traffic and how bad it always is in Austria. Odd, all my years in Europe I could always count on the exact opposite right up until you get to the German border.

Now when I got here this morning, I asked the front desk if these people arrived, hotel said yes, last night, that the hotel bus picked the up from the airport. Who stays at a hotel in the city they live in. I mean the address on the grant application says that 3 of these people live here.

So I point at one of the fellas I saw having breakfast this morning, I told him go, you start. The one fella BSing me the entire time, says he is actually taking point on this. I told him no your not, he is, you want the money, then I want to know that when called, no matter who picks up the phone we can have answers now.

This guy is clearly not prepared; I tell them all that I am not in the mood for this. That you where very late, but had people sitting down eating this morning speaking about their great evening, you are BSing me when I know for fact you flew in last night and had the hotel pick you up. You are doing all the talking because your full crap the most.

The man says. well thats OK, we will see you this afternoon. Now I am thinking heck yeah man, this is more my style, threaten me and I will take my time pulling you apart. So I asked with a smile, how is that. He said our company has two more grant meetings with you this afternoon. I said no that is for another company. He says yes but they represent that company. I told him but that is only legal inside the US and Canada for these types of grants. He says well where are not in the US so US law does not apply. I tell him, no worries, I will contact the companies and let them know that I do not have time to do business with drunk foolish liars, and since you are talking to me right now about that it is business pertaining to them. Good bye.

Called those companies, let them all know, and then turned off my phone. Now I have to sit here and wait until 1000 hours before I can check in.

I really hate excuses; how hard is it to tell me, dude we screwed up and got wasted. I would have not paid so much mind to details then. I am doing this crap as a favour, for free, infact, I can not think of one person on appointment right now who is getting paid. BS me.

But I still have my hopes up that perhaps they will water their little german balls with more booze and try something; likely not, these where girly men.

Later after I get checked in I will let all these other firms know I have to speak with over the next 6 days that if they want to show up like this then do not show up.
