    I still have some old carb cleaner in a 15 gallon barrel with a drop tray to soak carbs. I refuse to get rid of it.
    But it's been years since I've had to do any real amount of carb work.
    With EFI, it's pretty much spray it down and replace parts

    I’ve had some chemicals come back into the eyes over the years but the worst was metal shavings and slag from a grinder working on welded seam on my Camaro. Still have some floaters in my vision when I look certain ways from that chit.

    It’s amazing how it always seems to find yours no matter how careful you are. It could be one drop and it always finds them...

    If you want to bomb me send it to Tony @0patience :D

    I was running network cable in a ceiling at work and got a piece of acoustic ceiling tile in my eye.  Had to go to the hospital to get it out.

    Rust in the eye is the worst. I saw a video where they said to use a magnet to get it out. :#

    They tried irrigating it, but had to use a cotton swab to get it out.

    If you are a welder and have to go in for an MRI, let them know you weld.
    The heavy metals in welding get into your eyes and it will feel like someone is trying to pull your eyeballs out while they are doing the MRI. 
    Most MRI techs will ask questions about welding, etc. Some don't.

    Tell them that you are sure they can get it, but AutoZone NEVER has anything other than bling in stock.

    NAPA is my go to,..... The only time I would ever step into one of those stores is on a Sunday when they're the only place open....and even then I still wouldn't buy anything they keep in stock behind the counter.....Unless it was a life or death matter

    If your fat you can get liposuction, if you have small **** you can get a boob job, can get a chin tuck and all sorts of stuff to fix issues. There is NO fix for stupid. That moron you spoke to proves that in spades brother.

    I may have said this before, but, I hate it when I donate some money to something that sounds like a worthy cause, then they spend twice what I donated trying to get more money out of me.  

    Spend it on the cause!  Dumbazzes.

    I hate when a position comes open, I qualify for it, go through the interview process and get offered the position, only to find out it starts at a grand less than I make now.

    And trying to negotiate with these jokers is like trying to explain the theory of relativity to kindergartners.

    I didn't really want to be a project manager anyways, but as close to retirement as I am, was thinking it was less damaging than heavy equipment.

    A grand less sounds like a lot of moolah to give up, and it is if that's per week or per month.  But if it's a grand a year, that's twenty bucks a month - less after taxes.  So preserving the body may be worth $14 a month.

    1000 dollars a year less is 83 dollars a month less before taxes. How did you get 20?
  • peter4jcpeter4jc Posts: 16,515 ✭✭✭✭✭
    In my brain I was thinking per week but with my fingers I was typing per month...

    Divide 1000 by 52 and then X your tax rates...

    My preference would be to forget about the extra money and Salvage whatever structure I have remaining...

    You've got to stop doing that! :s  

    It's a terrible habit.  I think you're supposed to spray it into a little baggie and then...well, don't do that either! :p  

    Also terrible. ;)

    I hate when you find out that the dickturd that built your house cut some corners, you find this out by making one improvement.  That one improvement turns into fixing existing problems you could not see, now you five improvements, but at a huge extra cost.  At least these problems were discovered and fixed now before they became a much larger and more expensive issue later.  My way of justifying it.

    Grand per month. 
    So it's significant. LOL!
