Late Nite Thoughts

Where is my 10mm wrench? Why don't the wrench sets come with TWO of them, since the first one is ALWAYS abducted by aliens? Why can't 3/8 == 10mm??

Why is the manual wrong? I looked for thirty minutes for the "difficult to reach but easy to turn" drain petcock on the radiator located "under the bottom hose" IN VAIN. People, it's on the other side of the radiator. The "other" left side of the radiator. Under the "other" radiator hose, on the side of the "other" bottom... sheesh. Yeah, I'm pissed. Let's hope the removal and replacement goes more smoothly. *please*

Left side is drivers side in the US. There is no other left.

I'm trying to think less, so I'm spending a lot of time talking. I talked to my cousin for an hour last night, and I talked with a friend* from about 10:30 until 2:30 am...I woke up at 6 am like I always do. 4 hours is a full nights sleep for me, and I'm practically an old man compared to fresh and pierce.

* Yes, the same one I recently mentioned elsewhere, in case you're curious.

Baloney. If I'm standing at the front of the car, with the hood up, looking at the engine compartment, the left side is the side closest to my left hand, period. I don't have one single absolute reference for left and right based on the drivers head. Which is the left side when you're working on the passenger door? The driver's door? Right and left should be relative to the working position in a case like this. The manual had a mistake in it, and now that the radiator is back in the car (Yay me!) the whole issue barely rises to the level of a cellar conversation.

But I missed you so much xoB that I'm happy to chew even this thin point back and forth with you. Glad you're back. Hope all is well.
