I bought an oil evacuation pump to change my oil. On paper it's an amazing idea. You stick the hose down your dipstick tube. You pump the handle and the oil gets sucked out. In reality is sucks. Yeah it works, sorta. However it only took 4 quarts out of my engine that holds five quarts. It also took an hour and a half to do. I can change my oil the old fashion way in about 25 minutes. Still not having to get the car up in the air, which is a pain for all of my cars because they sit so low. Not having to worry about dying if a car falls, and not burning my hand on scalding hot oil all seems like a big plus.

Half of this sounded like erotica.

I get disproportionately angry when the Sportscenter Top 10 isn't mostly from the Big 4.

Sunday morning's show (which was on after a full slate of baseball games, two NBA playoff games and two Stanley Cup playoff games) was:

3 baseball
3 lacrosse
2 soccer
1 arena football
1 golf

I'm surprised that you don't have a lift and/or pit in one of your shops on your mega-corporate farming operation.

It's been discussed. I may do it at home if I build a shop there. At the farm we've outgrown our current shop so in the future I'm going to have to decide if building a new one there is worth the investment. If I do, it will have a lift.

Turn your computer around and sit on the other side of the table.
