Reply to: [email protected] [?]

Hey there. My husband sent me to the srore to buy him some Bubble Level Fluid. Because I noticed that his level had a bubble in it and it looked low. He said it is in a bottle about 3in tall and its green and it says Bubble Level Fluid on the label. Can someone please help me. He really needs this and I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks for any help you can give me.

When a buddy of mine got started in sheet metal, his Boss told him to run to the truck and get the duct-stretcher.
Being no stranger to construction sites, he laughed, and said "Where am I gonna find that? Next to the can of steam and the skyhook?"
When his boss told him to go out the door and either come back with a duct-stretcher or keep on walking. My buddy realized there really was a duct-stretcher.

My old boss used to tell the striped paint story.
He was sent when he was a cub to buy a gallon.
He claimed that the guy at the store was so tired of other guy sending people in for striped paint that he mixed some yellow ooil paint with some white latex. Said when it was used it yellow "stripes" all through it.
I have no idea of the truth to his story, he took the real answer to his grave.
Good ol' bastarrrrd, tought me more then anyone besides my dad. Never admitted he liked me, but I knew the truth. Makes me want to start a new thread.October 17th, 2009

If I ddi that to my wife and she found out after running around looking for it... I'd have a bent level instead because she would have beaten me with it.

Yeah, a lot of people don't realize that there actually is such a thing as a snipe. (Not that you can't get plenty of sniping here.)
God is REAL, unless explicitly declared INTEGER
Neat about how the "sniper" is named after this
A snipe hunt, a form of wild goose chase that is also known as a fool's errand, is one of a class of practical jokes that involves experienced people making fun of newcomers by giving them an impossible or imaginary task. The origin of the term is a practical joke where inexperienced campers are told about a bird or animal called the snipe as well as a usually ridiculous method of catching it, such as running around the woods carrying a bag or making strange noises. Incidentally, the snipe (a family of shorebirds) is difficult to catch for experienced hunters, so much so that the word "sniper" is derived from it to refer to anyone skilled enough to shoot one.[1]
In the most popular version of the snipe hunt, especially in the American South, a newcomer is taken deep into the woods late at night and told to make a clucking noise while holding a large sack. The others, who are in on the joke, say that they after they sneak away, they will walk back towards the newcomer, thereby driving snipes towards the bag holder. The frightened snipes, they say will be attracted to the clucking noise and easily caught in the bag. The newcomer is then simply left in the dark forest, eventually to realize his gullability and find his way home or back to camp.
A wild goose chase can also be more serious, either a deliberate attempt to thwart an opponent by sending him/her off on a quest based on misinformation, or a mistake on one's own part leading to a hopeless quest. [2]
Back in high school my buddy and I convinced his sister she was low on blinker fluid. Got her to go to the auto parts store asking for it.
She could punch surprisingly hard for being a little thing .....

We had a stuffed Nauga once. Ugliest creature I've ever seen, and you can't figure out which end is the head and which is the tail.

...it was furniture for which many naugas had given their lives...
My dad was one of the engineers at U.S. Rubber who designed the machinery that made Naugahyde back in the 50s. Whenever he'd come home from a business trip to Naugatuck, he'd bring my brother, sister, and I each a Nauga--we wound up with a bunch of 'em. Cute, but not cuddly, as I remember....

Might have been the Naugatauk River that did 'em in ........... still remember the awful smell as a kid going to Grandpa's house or maybe it was improper disposal of nauga poo. They've cleaned it up though and that's a good thing.

I was always partial to the little naugas w/ the spots in the fur . My dawg got inta the nauga pen and one of the bull nauga mauled hime real bad back a spell. She still limps, but otherwize ok.
Naugas only eat milkweed.
I live not that far from Naugatuck...Someday, maybe I'll take a ride to see the naugas...

Went skiing yesterday. Conditions were nice. Skied for half the day. The legs were like rubber after trying to keep up with Ian.
We need to start to organize a day at Tremblant. not this coming weekend as Audrey is working on Saturday. Also I need to bring all our stuff in from Sutton.
My brother is giving up his Telly skis and boots, freebee's!!!! I do believe they are the old three pin bindings. Are they still worth anything to you? ie, should I bring them up to you to look at? I think the boots are a size 9 or 10 with gators.
You own a truck, don'cha? Toss 'em in the box; we'll decide whether to throw 'em out up here. I can't guess until I've seen 'em.
Current sched with Ryan puts him at home for the weekend of 24-25 January--weekend after next one. How does that sound? I got my two annual freebies for the mountain; they're sitting down in the dining room on top of the icebox (so ya know where to tell me to look for 'em in two weeks!!)....

So far that seems to work. Audrey needs to check and confirm with her work. Is that superbowl weekend????? If so then maybe Audrey will be busy.
You're asking me if it's Stuporbowl weekend???
I know as much about basketball as a cow knows about calculus.

How now, Mighty Sauron, that thou art not broughtlow by this? For thine evil pales before that whichfoolish men call Justice....
Yes it's stuperbowl weekend!!!!
Audrey must work the Sunday, so if we ski it will be Saturday.
I'll have to make a run out to Sutton this weekend to get our stuff.
Saturday sounds like a plan. (If we skied on the Sunday, we'd have to quit early anyway to get Ryan bathed, fed, and back to X on time.)
I called in sick today; holiday exhaustion finally caught up with me. Couldn't move until about 10am when I heroically dragged myself down to the bathtub for a long soak and a cuppa tea. I'm getting out my warm woolies for the rest of the week, tho. That cold front moving in tonight is gonna stack up the isobars real tight and generate some whonking winds, betcha....
Hey, BTW--what does AC use for cable lube in these temps?? Busted the push-pull twin-cable bull-wheel on the snowblower discharge chute for the 3rd time last week and had to fabricate a new part outta some cast nylon I had lying around. I've been using silicon spray but the cables still freeze up in the sheaths....

Sounds like the stuff we used to use for racing bindings 20 years ago, right down to the colour. And yeah, that stuff was pirated, too; the original can arrived with one of the guys who used to work for Bombardier and when we ran out we couldn't get any more.

i used to commute though Naugatuck back in the 70's when US Rubber was spewing out clouds of the nastiest smelling junk you can imagine. had to hold your breath if you stopped for a red light.
How about going to the hardware store and asking for 50 feet of shore line..View Image
I used to walk to school in Seymour which is located on the Naugatuck River, downstream from Naugatuck. We'd cross the bridge spanning the "Naugy" every morning and local lore had it that you could tell what color sneakers they were making that day up at the rubber factory. If the river was green, it was green sneakers that day.
Today the river is clear, and they've long since closed that elementary school, and the kids all take buses (or get rides from their parents), and all the sneakers are made in China anyway. I wonder if there is some chinese kid who lives near the Naugachang River who will have the same fond memories 40 yrs from now...
I vaguely remember ( I was a little squirt) the hurricane in '55 and how Mom and grandpa (who lived in Seymour) were talking how coffins were coming down the Naugatauk from the floods. Still remember the smell on trips to his house and all us kids would blame each other for "cutting the cheese". Went through through there year before last ....grandpa's house is gone as are grandpa and mom........ some oil company there. Growing up I remember so much industry all over CT- seems like much if not most of it is gone.

I've heard that same story from my mom. Was five years before I stepped onto the planet. She's still lives in Seymour. There was a bar (Fiftal's) next to the brass foundry in Seymour that had a plaque about 6 feet up the wall showing the height of the water from that flood.
And that stink, yeah, I remember one year, probably around 1968 or so, my dad was a union insulator and he was working for a couple of months at that rubber plant. He must have parked his station wagon downwind from a smokestack because that car stunk for two years. I can still remember that smell like it was yesterday.
Anyone ever been downwind of the sugar beet plant north of Moorhead MN in late fall? That's an odor that will peel paint.

Way back when I was young, I took a year long vacation in a place called Viet NAm. They had a pungent fish sauce called Nuc Mam. There was a factory that made it at the thriving metropolis of Phan Thiet. You could smell the place at 2000 ft while on approach to the airport. MOF, you could even smell the stuff upwind.

My brother gave me a copy of a genuine General Electric datasheet from the 1960s. It was for a 'turboencabulator'. Somewhere I still have it. It was a delightful piece of utter nonsense, but it sure looked good.
Just doing a quick search, and Wikipedia has an explanation, and even shows the first page of the datasheet.

...Naugatuck back in the 70's when US Rubber was spewing out clouds of the nastiest smelling junk you can imagine.
Never visited there myself; Dad used to go up a coupla times a month when I was about 6 or 7. In '64, he changed jobs and we all moved to Ohio. I haven't thought about Naugahyde since then. Didn't even know they still made the stuff....
Dad never mentioned the stink from the plant up there; guess it was considered normal back then...kinda like the permanent poison gas cloud from the steel mills I had to drive thru twice a day on Route 21 going through the Flats on the way into Cleveland from the 'burbs when I was a teenager.

I knew a woman about 20 years ago (yes, blonde) who went into the hardware store and waited for someone to ask, "Can I help you?"
She said, "Yes, I need a hoe."
The salesman asked, "What kind?"
She replied, "I don't really know. I overheard my husband say to his friends, "I gotta get a new hoe.' so I thought I'd surprise him. What kind of hoe do you think he'd like?"
She somehow dragged this out quite a while and kept a straight face until she left the store.
Few years back a cousin visits home from school and I'm standing in the kitchen with auntie at the counter when cousin walks in.
I tell her I have an antique blueberry picker jar to give her and present her with it.
'BlueBerry Picker?'
'Ya, see the lines on the side of it to measure how much is in there and the low slope so they can be put in there easily and not fall out.'
'Wow! Cool!' she says as she picks it up and holds it to her mouth and blows on it like a trumpet. Auntie can barely keep from laughing out loud as she knows it was an old fashioned hospital urinal for bed patients. heh heh
Bad part of it all is she takes it back to school with her and starts showing all her friends the cool old antique blueberry picker her cousin gave her
until finally a guy stops her and told her what it was.

My SIL installs cables for schools and govt. buildings. He frequently lists a 5 gal. bucket of "Dial Tone" on his estimates to see how close they pay attention. Very few ever catch it or question it.
Had a backhoe operator send his young laborer back to the truck for a can of E-Z Dig. "Get the quart can, and not the aerosol one neither. It may be underneath all that shoring, so look good and put everything back nice and neat too!" The F-350 got cleaned out and everyone else had a good laugh.
relative bearing grease?
barrel of prop wash?
or a fallopian tube from hospital supply?
I have couple of gallons if anyone is looking for some. It resembles used antifreeze and I store it in milk jugs, but I swear it's the real thing. I'm willing to practically give it away, just $5/vial worth (shipped to you in an environmentally friendly "green" pickle jar) to cover postage.
Dont forget the new set of muffler bearings.
Family.....They're always there when they need you.
Hey, muffler bearings really work.
One way to increase efficiency is to reduce back-pressure in the exhaust. An easy way to do that is to install muffler bearings. The exhaust makes the ball bearings spin, which makes the exhaust flow more laminar. Which in turn reduces back-pressure which increases efficiency.
Wanna buy some?

I took one of the guys on my framing crew for his first airplane ride at the country airport where I kept my little Cessna then.
While I was doing the pre-flight inspection I told him to run over to the pilot's lounge and ask for a Maxwell house parachute.
He came back, empty handed of course, telling me that no one had ever heard of such a thing.
"Maxwell house", I repeated seriously, "good 'til the last drop".
I got that line from a W.C. Fields movie.
Our corporate pilots used to love having a newbie on one of their flights. Everybody who had been on their filghts played along. The general routine was they would pull the jet out of the hanger (beech) and then the suits would begin to board. The pilot would get on board and start his pre-filghts while the co-pilot was outside checking over the wings and doing his preflight. So the co-pilot boards the plane making sure to get the attention of all aboard especially the victim. He would say to the pilot "I found this bolt under the left wing but i didn't see anything missing. What should I do with it? The pilot would dead pan " here just throw it into the coffee can with the rest of them." and he would shake the can.

There's a flip side to that, a little retribution for the seasoned passenger/single engine private pilot.
I was once in the right seat of a Piper Cherokee Six, with the left (pilot in command) seat occupied by a "local legend" airline pilot. It was a borrowed airplane being used for a parts run.
He made a less than perfect landing in front of the weekend home crowd at the private, rural airport where we were both based.
After taxing up to the fuel pumps, in the middle of everything, he shut down. I proceeded to crawl out of the cockpit on my hands and knees, down the wing walk and onto the ground, planting a long dramatic kiss on the pavement.
The local guys loved it!
Airline guys don't get much slack from veteran private pilots.
We once sent a newbe mechanic for a bucket of prop wash to clean the engine blades on a JT8D.
