You just poke that down in the hard to reach area. I probably would have just gotten another nut to fit it and let the old one fall out where it pleased. :-)<BR/><BR/>Solar - too bad about the password. I was going to tell you to try Keychain Access, but you don't have a Mac. I'm not sure I'm getting that quick at changing tires, although I did let out an "ohhhh (fudge)" when I realized the spinner wasn't in the car. I need to replace both front tires; they got flat-topped pretty good from The Boy's skid. (I checked the other one this evening.)Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-1168012737139365392007-01-05T10:58:00.000-05:002007-01-05T10:58:00.000-05:00From: Solar (lost my password)Next time you change...From: Solar (lost my password)<BR/><BR/>Next time you change spark plugs, use a piece of rubber hose that will fit over the top of the new plug. Make it long enough and use that to insert the new spark plugs. Every spark plug socket I've bought has the rubber piece inside of it to keep the plug from falling back out when you remove it.<BR/><BR/>Another flat tire? You're turning into the Dad from the Christmas Story Movie that could change a flat in 90 seconds. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12954391.post-1168001682593240782007-01-05T07:54:00.000-05:002007-01-05T07:54:00.000-05:00Hi FARfetched.Actuall you had a better reason for ...Hi FARfetched.<BR/><BR/>Actuall you had a better reason for a bad mood than I did. You have far more patience than I do with mechanical stuff. When I changed the battery on our car a nut that connects to a long rod that hold the battery down fell and got under a place where I couldn't get to it. What should have been a 15 minute job, turned into a two hour job from taking things apart just to get to that nut. <BR/><BR/>The speakers reminded me of my first music machine. I had an old portable cassette play and bought two cheap round car speakers. I cut a hole in two shoe boxes, taped the speakers in and figured out a way to connect them to the portable tape player. At that point and time I didn't know the difference, but it sounded great to me. :)<BR/><BR/>Hope your day is better than yesterday.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
