John wants me to follow the torque to weight rabbit trail. Here’s the thing, horsepower numbers are well publicized, torque not so much. I know where to go to find the former but I'm far too lazy to search out the latter. Wow, I've fallen asleep at least twice now staring at the screen trying to think of more stuff to say. I'll type something and then erase it and stare some more. Feh, this is getting me nowhere. I think I'm going to break out the Corky Bell book again and read for a bit. Yeah, maybe that will inspire me. It worked yesterday. Nope, no such luck. I read until time to go to lunch and then went to lunch. Duh. Now I'm back and I really don’t think y'all are going to get anything out of me today. Well, I might continue to ramble on like this for a while but there sure won’t be much in the way of content. Con-tent, what is that like a canvas shelter for prisoners or something? I was wondering the other day, if someone subsisted on herbs they got from their neighbor, would they be living on borrowed thyme? What if someone else told them that they shouldn’t be living that way, would that be sage advice? If I keep going like this, will I be punished? Ok, I'll stop, mainly because I can’t think of any more puns. So, it is beginning to look like we’re over the hump as far as the summer heat is concerned. This weekend is supposed to be “cooler” than it has been. Perhaps that and the bullshit discussion of how much power George is going to make will motivate me to get some work done. John can’t make it to the shop tomorrow but is planning to come on Sunday. Perhaps I'll go knock out some things from the “to do list” both days. I really need to get the underside of the car buttoned up so I can put it back on its wheels. I don’t know. We’ll see. Well, lunch today consisted of fish & chips, fried okra, and seafood gumbo. All that fried stuff is attacking my bowels right about now. I think I need to go drop some friends off at the pool. I'll be back in a little bit. Hang on. Ok, y'all are going to get a really short rant because Tiny and Flaccid just pissed me the hell off again. I'm not going into a rant about it, I'm just going to shut down and call it a day. I will say this, Bill “tiny and flaccid” Gates should die a horribly painful death along with all the programmers responsible for this abomination of an operating system. Thank you.
