glad we understumble each other.. :joylove:

zippyT's tractor on the brown acid:

      Damn car. It died on me. Rather it died on a cold morning and hasn't started since. Turns over just fine, just won't start. Thought maybe the fuel pump died, but ruled that out by priming the engine to no avail, shoulda started then died. Thought maybe it wasn't gettin' any fire, checked the rotor, looked a bit burnt so I replaced the cap and rotor. Still no go. Now I'm having to recharge the battery after the repeated attempts to start the car.
      Plus since they actually try to enforce the "no working on vehicles" rule in my complex everything gets done in ten minute spurts.
      Damn car.

      Saw a brand new Wavemaster for sale here in town pretty cheap. For those of you that don't know it's a punching bag that instead of hanging has a water/sand filled base. The things rock. Since they're not on a chain they move more freely making follow up strikes and kicks work better with natural body flow. I had one for months on extended loan from a friend, loved it.
      Problem is that now I'm in an apartment on the second floor. Bet the sound would carry through the floor. It would suck to have it and not be able to use it... Those things just sit there begging to be hit. Be a shame not to...

My (gay, like I had to point that out) friend's boyfriend DOES dye the carpet to match the drapes.

[Tim Allen]grunt[/Tim Allen] Good call, Tony, I was thinking about starting this thread!

I hate to disrespect another man's landscaping equipment. But, zippy, that sun shade kind of detracts from the manly aura.

I haven't shaved since 1988, just beard & mustache trims every couple weeks or so.

Tony, I thought you were going to say that those cars you're fantasizing about are so small you could move them with the hand truck! ;)

perhaps water in the fuel line? (frozen of course)
did you pull a plug wire and get it to spark to the engine block?

Crap. I'm not relating any better here than I was on the girltalk thread. What the hell is up with you people??? :confused:

      Considered the ice in the line, but I've since tried to start it on a warm day, and I've tried priming it directly. No dice. Haven't checked for fire directly, when I saw the burned rotor, I thought, "Aha!" and figured I had it...

      Wolf, it's just you, their's nothing up with the rest of us. Don't make me go over to the girl talk thread to make a point. Perhaps you've been ignoring meaningless gender roles for so long the basis of the threads irks you at a basic level?

No, I'm really just making fun of Sycamore.

Yeah, I was expected a higher level of testosterone than this.

What kind of knife do y'all carry around? I have two that I alternate - here is the one I have with me abou 90% of the time. It is made out of kevlar and steel and nearly indestructable. You can't see it in the pic but it also has a nice clip and a thump flipper making retrieval and one-hand opening a breeze. And you should hear this thing when it snaps open.

9-3/4" Benchmade

I either carry a plain old case or one of Helle's more primitive models. Its a nice little hunting knife. Are we doing better Wolfie?

I'm real unhappy with Benchmade knives. I have a full auto that I broke the tip off the blade. You know, one of those "I shouldn't be doing this because I'm going to break the tip" and your right! They refused to sell me another blade so I reground the blade into a drop point. Then the spring broke, this time not my fault, it just wore out. They wouldn't rebuild the knife or sell me the spring. Basicly they told me to go fuck myself. Really pissed me off because it was the only full auto knife I've every had that the blade didn't wiggle when open and I'd paid a couple hundred bucks for it. :(
