Subject: Unemployed engineer
An engineer who has been unemployed for a long time decides to open an urgent care clinic. He puts a sign outside the clinic: "A cure for your ailment guaranteed for $500; we'll pay you $1,000 if we fail."
A Doctor thinks this is a good opportunity to earn $1,000 and goes to his clinic.
Doctor: "I have completely lost my sense of taste."
Engineer: "Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor: "This is Gasoline!"
Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your taste back. That will be $500."
The Doctor gets annoyed and goes back after a couple of days later to recover his money.
Doctor: "I have lost my memory, I cannot remember anything."
Engineer: "Nurse, please bring the medicine from box 22 and put 3 drops in the patient's mouth."
Doctor: "But that is Gasoline!"
Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your memory back. That will be $500."
The Doctor leaves angrily and comes back after several days, more determined than ever to make his money back.
Doctor: "My eyesight has become weak."
Engineer: "Well, I don't have any medicine for this. Here's your $1,000," passing the doctor a $10 bill.
Doctor: "But this is a $10 bill ..."
Engineer: "Congratulations! You've got your vision restored! That will be $500."

Well.... It's my birthday OppO
I like Datsun's. I probably always will. A Datsun was my first car, a Datsun is currently the most valuable car in my fleet. A Datsun is my favorite car to drive in my fleet. The white car is a 1971 model year (10/70) build date Series One car (it's a datsun thing okay). Very very cool and rare car. We found it in the spring of 2005 in Napa California and purchased for $2,000. The seller would have taken less but my dad felt bad. By 2010 the car was running well and my dad drove it to California to visit us! It was gifted to me in the spring of 2019 as my dad really didn't drive it much. I have put several thousand dollars into it since to get it to it's current condition of daily driver status.
This is my first Datsun, photo probably from the summer of 1992. I purchased this car in the fall of 1991 for $900. You know what they say about a $1,000 car right? It's all true. When the red car ran it was great, but it had so many problems that I dared not drive it too far as a recovery would be logically difficult. This car really taught me how to work on cars, by the time I was done with it I had replaced the cylinder head and most of the cooling system and suspension. Rust eventually made it unsafe to drive and we traded it for some car parts.
The red car inspired my dad to buy this car, a 1971 240Z that was originally safari gold. It is now mostly a race car with 5 pt harness, roll cage, etc... It's fucking insane to drive, it has a very well built 3.1L stroker motor, that is in the neighborhood of 300+ HP, in a 2,300 lb car. I guess it makes sense that I am usually disappointed when I drive other sports cars and feel they are just slow. This car will scare you every time.

RE: Any Folks Living Near Detroit: DT Is Hosting A Farewell Party
@The-Autopian I was under the impression that parking in your back yard could be a bit hit and miss?

Thank you Oppo
Thanks for all the support and replies yesterday when I posted about my dad. He had the angiogram and they didn’t find anything wrong with him. He is home and doing well.

RE: Wax on, wax off, wax on wax off…
@facw natural snow is nice, now only if the could keep our lifts running well things would be a bit better.

RE: Wax on, wax off, wax on wax off…
@facw I wax my alpine skis two or three times a season about once every 10-15 ski days. Not nearly as critical as Nordic skis.

Wax on, wax off, wax on wax off…
This is a description of preparing Nordic skis for skiing tomorrow in warmer weather. A sudden jump has me going from blue -15 to +15 to red (+25 to +38). So much waxing and scraping and brushing…
first I brush old wax off with brass brush, then hot wax with red drawing out the old wax. Then I scrape red, brush again with brass brush, then wax a second time with red, scrape, then brush with a nylon brush. At least these are high quality skis with good bases so the process goes relatively quickly and efficiently.
