Well B$D , you can't IF you pay someone else to change your oil , wash and clean your car , repair your car , repair your appliancec , fix your running toilet , mow your lawn , plow snow from your drive way , buy wood for your stove , have to have speed instead of dial-up , have to have all the premium chanels on cable , 2 or 3 cell phones with all the bells and whistles , new vihicles every 4 yrs , send your teen kids to Cancun for spring break , quads , jet-skis , snowmobiles , paved driveways , pools , ya-ta-ya-ta-ya-ta...I make $18 an hr and never more than $37,000 yr , stay-at-home wife , 2 kids (grown now) I've had classic cars '71 Cutlass , '66 GTO , '67 Le-mans , bowling league (3 300 games&one 299) now 2 old JD,s and equipment for them and new equipment trailer ya-ta-ya-ta. Point is I work my @ss off and get my hands dirty and twisted up and cracked. I have educated myself so i can repair anything I own instead of paying everyone else while I'm out playing golf with the boys. Auto body / paint / restoration work all my life after growing up on the farm. Spose could have moved to big city and made more they say. "Big cities in my area have a higher death rate than any war since WWII. Thank you not , my life and that of my family is worth more than the $15,000 more a yr I might have made. Yuo young people better reallize right now , you've been sold a bill of goods by your State run school systems to keep your State run universities afloat. You will pay dearly when you find out their promises after graduation fall way short of reallity. A skilled trade will always be in demand. The more you have the better. Everyone complains about $65 hr flat rates at their repair dealership? What other professional that you go to charges less??? Oh , I forgot , they aren't professionals , they are just grease monkeys who MUST take care of MY car! When the numbers get fewer the cost of their services will increase. Better yet , pass legislation that makes it against the law to have a dent or dammage or rust or a car with ANY mechanical issues and we will all be on the golf course at 3:00 just like the insurance salesman and lawyers. The "laws" filled their pockets quite nicely. WHY did you have to get me going????

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
