other dog

I was looking for a short bracket I once had, shaped kinda like a dog bone with a hole in each end, when I ran across this. Never did find the bracket. I found this on the side of the road at a pull-off some years ago. Looks like It's for crimping something, I was just wondering what,so I can get one and crimp it. Doesn't look like a cheap tool either, looks like precision equipment. Someone probably dropped it and lost it i'm thinking, like a power co. or phone co. worker.

she's got them dark tiger stripes- maybe "big head little eared tiger dog"

hmmmm....she is red...maybe...just a thought

The dog that lives next door ( but stays over here as much as she stays at home) had a litter of 10 puppies 10 days ago. They made her a nice nest in a big cardboard box on their back porch. Somebody came over to look at them or something and dropped one of them, from about waist high Jo said, and the mama dog wouldn't have anything to do with it afterwards- wouldn't let it nurse at all. I haven't seen the others, but Jo said they're all twice as big as this one,even the "runt" who was born last. So, she asked if she could bring the abandoned pup over here to take care of it. I said "sure, we'll just get a baby bottle and feed it". She brought it over and just poured a few drops of milk in her hand and let the pup lick it off. "we need to get a bottle" "no we don't, this is working fine" By the time I got home Friday she had a baby bottle- made especially for abandoned puppies and some puppy formula that's supposed to be like the mother's milk. She said "it's still going to the pound with the rest of them when it's old enough" I said "no it ain't" She's got it on an electric blanket in the floor now. And she's wondering what to name it.

Well then, that would explain the time I was sitting at home minding my own bidness and the tennis ball came out of the sky and crashed through the roof, doing major damage to the house. I always wondered about that.

great ideer! one for the top bracket would be all I need, then just a little longer belt. If i'd done any grinding I would have ground the bracket but not the alternator, but I didn't want to grind on anything.

There are no dumb questions. I just cooked my alternator putting batteries in backwards, and knew it was positive ground. Burned up a cb or 2 in that F-model, and knew it was positive ground. Hard to get that positive ground thing in my head,it just seems unnatural! But if you jump start it or put the battery charger on it you do still hook the cables positive to positive and negative to negative.

Well?!! don't keep us in suspense, what happened?..you couldn't be in jail, they would have taken your phone,eh?

Went to install the alternator today. It will fit, but I either need to do some grinding on the brackets or the alternator and get a slightly longer belt, or just get another alternator like the original. The top bracket won't come down far enough to get the bolt in because of the way the alternator is made, and the bottom bracket won't let it move close enough towards the engine to get the belt on. Really don't want to grind on the alternator, could cause the ears to break off and it probably wouldn't be any more good if I needed to exchange it. Here's the situation, with lines and word bubbles. The dotted lines show what I would need to grind off.

well, at least leversole thought it was funny. Rob probably thinks it's hilarious, just hasn't said anything...probably laughing too hard.

I saw a potato gun once made out of pvc pipe. squirt a little hair spray in it and light it and it would shoot a potato several hundred yards. there's lots of better uses for potatoes though, like french fried, baked, boiled,fried with onions, mashed...never seen a mouse ball gun.

...I haven't done that since I was a teenager...

I didn't even realize she'd gotten the cuffs off until I took the picture. She jumped out and ran when I stopped at a red light. I thought she was nuts, she's the one that wanted a ride and I was trying to be helpful. I didn't know she had a handcuff phobia, or I would have went with the gorilla tape.

I was tempted to sign in to Yahoo and reply "just stomp them into the ground and don't worry about the filthy creatures".

get up under Killer with a pressure washer, you might already have 'em.

lots of room in it- I even had to lean over a little bit to reach the passenger seat.

excellent Swishy! I printed one but my color ink is running out...not sure if I have a dunny wall either. Maybe i'll get ink and a dunny wall at Wal-Mart today.

I have used black pepper before and it does work well. Stuck a stick through the radiator in one of my old Scouts in the woods and a handful of black pepper stopped the leak. I keep those hinges well greased.

I don't know, but I drove a '77 F-model that was positive ground and a '79 that was negative ground.

Once upon a time a Swift driver was traveling through central Illinois. He saw a man in his driveway looking into the fuel tank of an R-model Mack with a flashlight. So he stops and says "hey, are you out of fuel?" The man in the driveway says "naw, i'm from right here in Farmington, where are you outa'?"

Well I made a trip to Louisville, Ky this week and had to pick up a load in Sellersburg, In. going to Washington,D.C. Hate going to D.C. Absolutely hate it...that was another great misadventure in itself!..anyhow, when I was unloading at the jobsite in the median on 295 I saw the radiator was leaking. Not a line or hose, the radiator itself. So I went to the shop, and when aluma-seal stop leak didn't help it at all, I got to drive this unit- It was like going fron an Escalade to a Vega...or a Crown Vic to an Escort. ain't this somethin'- can't even see the hood! I must say, it was "the cat's ass" as Larry Wales would say for getting into that tight spot in Milton,W.V. to load these mill rolls though. That summich turns on a dime! You have to pull between these buildings and back in, then you have to make a left turn out of this door. Sounds easy, looks easy enough- but it's tight! only way to get out is pull up straight, then turn hard left-put the left front tire in the man door in that other building, back up once turning hard right until the trailer almost hits the far side of the doorway you're pulling out of, then ahead hard left until you clear the pipe rail by the other building then straight ahead, staying as close to the pipe rail as possible until you're clear.The guys there are great at getting you out though- if you just watch them and do what they say and don't pay any attention to anything else it's a piece of cake. But I never knew the W.V. Turnpike was rough before- couldn't feel the bumps with that low air leaf Peterbilt suspension. Ol' double nickel will be ready Monday, got the radiator fixed and back in it today.

hey, on a good note- I did score this brand new Delco Remy alternator today for $50. Came out of the parts room and doesn't fit anything we have anymore, all the newer truck alternators are side mount. I'm gonna go put it on tomorrow.

Yeah, I hope he had sense enough not to stop at the bottom and look at his brake drums smoking, that's the worst thing to do- that's when they burst into flames and blow out tires. It's level at the bottom for several miles, then you start climbing up the other side so he could have let them cool by the time he got up there. Then you stop, look around, smoke a cigarette, say "damn, that was a close one!"
