After I drink I stagger pretty well. Does that count?

anyone here interested in it for $100? ( listed on craigslist for $150)
JB weld? meh.

I had a fairly large hole in my Ford Van gas tank right in the back in the middle. I rubbed bar soap on it about 2-3 times a year, no problems. Drove the van for 10 years that way. Figured a fix-it-guy like you would know that one.

Oh yeah, I know that trick, as I said, ive grown tired of messing with it, ive got another generator already, just want to get rid of this one.

Id braze it, or weld it if I wanted to fix it, tired of smelling like gasoline all the time anymore, aint no body got time for that.

Sheet metal screw with a Viton O-ring will seal it.

its a rusty spot about the size of a nickel, and its perforated with many tiny holes.

I figured it was worth $100 to someone, but I have been wrong, before, often.

Sounds like an ideal candidate for a five gallon auxiliary tank conversion to provide a longer run time. We'll worth a hundred bucks.

Martha and I went to the swill tonight. Great evening communing with my friends.



We wouldn't let Ted sit at our table so Shelley felt sorry for him and sat in a booth with Ted.





Kris is recovering nicely from his get off but he is still wearing a brace on his wrist. He demonstrates the entirety of his mobility for us below:





Kris' new found talents allow him to indicate EXACTLY how he feels about Doc....errrrrr us.

Double Jeopardy

Please answer in the form of a question:
If you were to take your motorcycle for a ride with the sole intent of small game hunting or target practice this is the legal/legally accepted method of carrying rifle and pistol.
