Rob just called me. Engine let go this morning in Stockton, on the way to the autocross. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Sounds like a piston skirt broke off and trapped itself between the crank and case, and then blew its way out. Now he's got to wait for a tow truck. Ooooooh man. Poor Rob. I'm sure he'll have some pictures (with garbage cans) when he get's it back to his place. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |

What makes you think that a herder (often called musterer) would have a lower IQ , or mechanical ability than someone of your age and experience?
Think of all the potential broken down tractors, tanks, humvees, and personel careerers that this herder may have encountered during the course of his lifetime...and possibly revived to make run once again so that he could sell them off to enhance the size of his herd. Talk about bad gas...I would suspect that the accused herder would have some serious purity issues with the fuel supply in his country, potentially some mixed octane of unknown origins... So, I would suggest that a herder or goat, sheep or even swine may have considerable experience with bad fuel, unknown mechanical issues, and custom parts replacement....far greater than any of our experience may possibly add up to when we walk into a parts store to order the exact replacement part we need, pass by the gas station and go in to get fuel and milk...milk that may have possibly come from a goat of foreign origin....managed by a herder.

I know a few guys that have an IQ slightly higher than an eggplant who have a marvelous feel for things mechanical....yourself, for instance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ah IC you are in rare form tonight. Eggplants can come in so many sizes...therefore many levels of IQ, if it can even be measured with common measurement methodologies. Just because you think that an Eggplant has an IQ lower than yours....does that mean it truely does? Remember people used to think the world was flat also... Diffusing is an art form. Rich |
