Just hearing of you tuning up your car got my ribs a hurting. We use to have a 73 blazer that I tuned up a couple of times. About 90 percent of the time your feet were in mid air with all your weight balanced on you ribs. I'd gets the plugs in, the points in, then call my neighbor over to help me set the gap on the points. Glad those days are over. Now we just take the car in. what, maybe 70 thousand miles or so? My wife was always getting mad at me for doing things she think I couldn't do. Now, she just leaves me alone and comes to my aid if I need her sight for something. Have a good one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Andrus" <dave.and...@blindmission.org> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 1:04 PM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] washing machines cycles
