  1. If you don't laugh out loud after you read this you are in a coma! This is even funnier when you realize it's for real! Next time you have a bad day at work think of this guy. Rob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station103.2 on FM dial in Ft. Wayne , Indiana , who was sponsoring a worst jobexperience contest. Needless to say, she won the contest. Hi Sue, Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad dayat the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share mydilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a fewtechnicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to theoffice. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do tokeep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This$20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to adelightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a gardenhose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan,and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to thebottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in aJacuzzi. Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So,of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds mybutt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage wasdone. In agony,,,, I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked upa jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on myback, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate. When I scratched what Ithought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of mybutt. I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five otherdivers, were all laughing hysterically. Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizingin-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reachthe surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running downhis face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon asI got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because my buttwas swollen shut. So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse itwould be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt. Now repeat to yourself, ‘I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.' Now whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish bad day? May you NEVER have a jellyfish bad day!!!!!
  2. Dear Walter, I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor girl. I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor girl is 22. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. I told him to stop or I would leave him. He was let go from his job six months ago and he says he has been feeling increasingly depressed and worthless. I love him very much, but ever since I gave him the ultimatum he has become increasingly distant. He won't go to counseling and I'm afraid I can't get through to him anymore. Can you please help? Sincerely, Sheila ****************************** Dear Sheila: A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the carburetor float chamber. I hope this helps. Regards, Walter
  3. She has a misfire, cam seals are weeping so getting below done but plugs are only in there 300KM ago. But the oil well has oil in there around the plugs and coilpacks. Who knows how long the cam seals are leaking, Coil pack clips are falling apart The joys of owning an old car ha ha · Plugs · CamSeals · FanBelt / Tensioner · Coilpack Clips · Radiatorflush – Toyota 4 Life · Gearbox oil – · HornsReplaced

  5. Latest update: After 24 hours with the alarm on only, car stationary battery is at 10.77 volts , I heard it is normal the Slip cont dimming on turn over, 5 min spin I shut the car off, Battery was at 11.7 mark After starting her up, after 2 mins the idle with the car stationary did drop to near 0 revs twice for a split second, I put that down to the ecu reset. Since the lamda change and ECU reset I have not really driven her that much

  12. Interesting , will see what mine is on. hopefully the lowest, so I can raise her
  13. Cool thanks, Stupid they dont have the same information under the other TRD link http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_shock.html
  14. You could do a hill climb in that , easy money
  15. Mine is like a Jeep, it will go over anything
  16. I have the TRD grey ones with TRD springs; wheels are 19 with a 35 profile. They are a bumpy ride , but on the motorway they are fine. Never knew you could adjust them, and looking at them I dont think you can plus according to TRD they are a fixed rate. I wonder would the yellow bilsteins allow the wheels to hug the arches as nice as the TRD. TRD bilsteins are discontinued if you are looking to buy them new and so is the lowering spring set TRD bilsteins (Shocks)-- Fixed rate Made by BILSTEIN (http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_shock.html) TRD Springs -- front K=107.8N/mm Rear K=92.1N/mm http://www.trdparts.jp/english/parts_spring.html

  18. Sorry my bad it is 365 for 3 months, not that it make much of a saving from 385 1293 -- year 717 -- 6 months
  19. If somebody posted that vid I too would be sceptical of any issue , just basing in on how she started since I got her; it feels like a hell of a long time before she starts I will monitor the battery during the week she if she holds a charge
  20. Will try the Ctek charger before I purchase a new battery
  21. Before she started straight,near 0 crank time; now it is takes 2-3 cranks; maybe it is the the ECU reset and Lamda sensor change? My battery after 30 mins of idle time dropped to 11 Volts , engine on she is at 13-14 Volts (as expected) . with engine off (just shut down) its 12 volts I just ordered the Ctek CTE-XS4003 Multi Battery Charger 12V fro AGM batteries so will use it and see of it helps, maybe she did not charge correctly using the Abssar charger http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_11101_catalogId_15551_productId_206665_langId_-1_categoryId_212463
  22. What batteries do you recommend for inside the car, mine is in the boot I was thinking Optima Yelow top , currently have the red top
