What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

I love it! Soaking up all the heat.
Summer needs to go away and rain would be nice. I'm ready for fires in the stove and wood cutting.

 

Celebrating 30 years of marriage today.


Yesterday:

Been a bit of a tradition to trek to the holy land for us during this weekend. Love it here. It’s a beautiful time to travel as the leaves are changing. Hope everyone is having a great day.

 

Excellent

 

Congratulations to 30 years !! Mr and misses The Wood Wolverine

 

Congrats Jason!

 

X2!

 

Got a spot made for the fridge and before vs after for this weekend's gyprock job.

 

$6.75 gal for diesel...not trying to be political, but things are broken.

 

No way am I liking that. I agree, something is very broken.

 

X3!

 

Makes me wish I invested in oil companies when I had thought about it.

Does everyone here remember that diesel always used to be lower priced than gasoline?

 

Walleyes are biting again.

Set the minnow trap after church yesterday and will empty it this afternoon.

Very low water conditions currently. Those minnows should be grateful someone like me is thoughtful and caring enough to take the time and effort to relocate them to better conditions!

 

YES!
And it should be...takes less refining to make than it does gasoline! (Although modern diesel may take a lil more work than it used to)

 

Yes it now is ultra low sulfur caused the refining cost to increase

yes a diesel engine was more $$ but longevity and fuel saving were a calculation

well the math is getting easier

 

Changed my oil tonight. That's normally the one job that goes pretty much 100% smoothly and predictably, but it turned into a nightmare. First, I had a brain freeze and set up for the old oil to pour out in a different direction than it actually does on that truck. Absolutely soaked my glove and had to drag the collection pan over in a hurry. Then I had some trouble getting the filter off (that much didn't shock me, I need to get more/better wrenches pronto).
Finally got it off, only to have to reuse the old filter, didn't like doing it but the new one just wouldn't go on, guess the thread is defective. That's when I couldn't just laugh it off anymore.
Went to fill the new oil, spilled some, couldn't seem to keep the bottle and funnel straight. Went to bottle the old oil, and the drain on my collection pan was plugged.

I'm honestly rather pizzed off, I can't believe Murphy's law crammed that many petty little problems into a friggin oil change. And the filter was a waste of $13.49 plus tax. I have another experience like that, and I might cut up my drivers license

 

Sounds like you ran into O'Rileys Law, that states, Murphy was an optimist.

 

Whoever it is, I don't like him one bit.
