Naked Girls Reading

You're talking to a guy who can't even change a flat tire, and would rather walk than change my own oil. Rebuild a carburetor? You might as well tell me to rebuild the Rolls Royce Trent 900 turbofan jet engine from an Airbus A380 using nothing but a toothpick and a flathead screwdriver.

 

How did this turn into a conversation about carbs?


(couldn't help myself)

 

You are going to need a Swiss Army knife, vice grips, plastic wireties and duct tape.

Because there are at least 4 engineers posting in this thread. And 3 of them tend to go off topic at a moments notice. :madgrin:

Naked pictures of women are only going to keep us on topic for a few minutes at best.

 

Oh, I agree 110%. Perhaps I am showing my age, as is another engineer on this forum

Where is Tom anyway?

I actually could take apart a Holley 4 bbl, rebuild it, get all the diabolical little pieces back together, and get it to run reasonably well. It's just such a drag to rejet for different operating elevation, summer vs winter, economy vs power, etc

Trust me, I would NEVER want to go back to a carb as a daily driver. I like being able to just jump into my vehicle, power up, and drive off no fuss no hand choke no hassle

Actually the Trent is famous for longevity and relative ease of rebuild. True you need a wee bit more than a screwdriver and a toothpick though

You really don't understand men that well, do you? At heart we're still little boys, the only difference is that the toys are much more expensive, louder, and troublesome

I kind of miss the Erector Set I had as a kid

Oh, I just had a naughty fantasy: naked women rebuilding a Trent 900

Or naked women just inspecting a Trent 900

How about naked women inspecting the Airbus A380 bogie beam assembly? MMMMmm that really works for me, them leaning over those hot black Michelin aircraft tires

Purrrrrrrrr

Perhaps naked women FLYING the Airbus A380?

Excuse me, I will be "occupied" for 3-8 minutes

 

Naked women giving a Powerpoint presentation on the landing gear design of an Airbus A380. :madgrin:

 

So you'd trust a guy who cannot change a tire to rebuild the engine on a commercial jetliner?

Call me old fashioned, but a square-rigged sailing ship is much more interesting than a jet plane. Avast ye, me hearties! Weigh the anchor and there'll be a round of non-alcoholic fizzy apple cider fer ye all. My fantasy is a sailing ship with an all-girl crew, and me. And a magic amulet against seasickness. Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me.

 

And the crew is naked. Better bring lots of sunscreen.

 

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmm

Excuse me for 3-8 minutes

Can't see how you could f*** it up any worse than these guys did

AirTransat A330-200 fuel loss page 3

at least you'd approach the job with good intentions

Oh, isn't THAT the truth. I learned a painful lesson the hard way - pardon the pun

 

You have your fantasy, I'll have mine. This naked thing is not practical under all circumstances. I want to be naked with a lover in private, indoors (or in the cabin, in the case of a ship). My sailing crew should be wearing whatever clothing is practical for the conditions and the work. Naked sunbathing is permitted. Clothing optional means just that: they can dress (or not) as they choose.

 

I suppose individual strings could still count as "clothing"

 

I had a school board meeting. That's one of the drags about being an elected official; people expect you to come to the meetings. The good news is that I have so far avoided going to prison.

As for Holley 4 bbl, I recall one time in college when a downstairs neighbor brought one up to me in a bucket. He had decided to rebuild his carb, took it all apart, and hadn't a clue how to put it back together. I rebuilt it for him, but it's a lot easier if you get a chance to see it assembled first.

It's the intersection of dating and carburetors: mysterious holes, undecipherable moving parts, and things wiggling back and forth.

:redface:

Tom

 

I was member of several Boards, one paid, the other two volunteer. Trust me on this: they are HIGHLY overrated

But enough lonely middle aged housewives belong to such groups that a frisky single guy like me is NEVER bored

Of course, that does NOT apply to your situation

Naw, that's the entire point of learning things, to be quick on your feet. Though to be honest, a few times I've been given a bucket of random parts and thought "Wth is THIS?!"

Well, that completely takes the romance out of the equation.

But it sure is true!

 

You're going to need a bigger boat.

 

And remind them to keep their important bits out of the running rigging.

Just as a personal comment, I can attest that it is *very* hard to steer a straight course when you have a naked woman or two sunbathing behind you.

Tom

 

You've missed an educational and worthwhile experience. I have no regrets over having done it.

Have you ever been on a three-masted square-rigger? That is a VERY BIG boat. (Check out the Cutty Sark if you are ever in London.)

That only matters if you have a destination in mind.

 

I had a destination in mind, but it had nothing to do with where the boat was going...

:eyebrows:

Tom

 

I think I must be some kind of a pervert: I'd rather be with a girl I really like with clothes on than ogle a lot of naked women I don't know; and I'd rather hold hands with a girl who likes me than have sex with a women who has contempt for me because I'm paying her for it. Of course, I'd like to have sex with a woman who wants to do it with me, but that's probably less likely than that a horse named "I F***ed Your Brother" will win the Triple Crown on the same day that I find the first prize winning ticket of the Irish Sweepstakes in a box of Crackerjacks.

 

"I'd like to have sex with a woman who wants to do it with me, but that's probably less likely than "

Ever heard of the self fulfilling prophecy?

 

Ever heard of being realistic?

 

Realism has nothing to do with attracting a women. Confidence (even if faked) does.
If you tell yourself no women wants you enough, you'll make it so. If you tell yourself enough that the right women for you is out there and you're going to find her...then you will.
