Our original last name was "noneck" but they screwed it up at Ellis island. They thought we all had a build like tree stumps, so that's where Woods came from. :D

Oh wow ! I remember a time as a teenager when my parents were away and I decoded to use our family tub for a tire bath to look for a hard to find leak. Talk about a hard time trying to scrub a tub out, just smeared all over :eek: , took me almost all afternoon! What a mess!

And another good tip for the bath tub...
It makes for a real nice tank for re-bluing rifle barrels. :thup:

But it makes the kids harder to grab onto when they are covered in oil.

Something else I just learned...
Apparently, a white undershirt (mostly white anyway) a hoodie with a sport jacket thrown over it and Danner boots are not considered formal dress.
I KNOW, I was taken back a little by this info as well. I mean, the sport jacket alone was like 15 bucks :eek: .
Last time go out of my way to try and look all fancy.

Many years ago I worked on a race car pit crew. When in the inspection area after a race, I always had to pull the air cleaner so the carb could be checked. I would put my "clean" hanky in the carb to keep dirt out. One night I came in kinda late and threw that hanky on the floor- over an air-conditioner register. Next morning half the house smelled like racing gas. I was in heaven- until the wife smelled it.

As a teen- I tried to speed dry the parts to my carburator in the oven.

Neither wives or Moms have any sense of humor about this stuff........

If you use the turkey baster to draw fluids out of ANYTHING 8) Say...a power steering res. DO NOT return it to the [censored]. :eek:
Go buy a new one. Then tell her you love her. Don't tell her why.
She will figure it out.
