    at least he's wearing a full face for the forthcoming dirt
    snack.............

    one time when I was in Jr. High School, a buddy and I were
    out riding our road bikes down a hill on a street that was
    freshly oiled and graveled. Bascially, what they do is pour
    down oil and then dump really sharp rocks on the oil which
    then get squished into the asphalt from the weight of the
    tires on a vehicle.

    nobody wore helmets let alone gloves back in those days. I
    don't know what he was doing but somehow he went down.
    Imagine the road was the cheese grater and he was the
    cheese.............

    Did he choose to wear the helmet or did you force him to on
    such a warm day?
    🙂

    BTW, I hope he's alright.

    That a 911 engine (been browsing the dir tree)?

    Yes, apparently owned by some sick, anal creature who
    decided to detail his engine and remove all of the
    cosmoline.

    Pretty silly if you ask me.

    What the hell is cosmoline anyway? Not that you can speak
    from the personal experience of removing it from an engine
    or anything like that.

    A surface protector/rust inhibitor. tinyurl.comyv4ht
    for some info (just found this). It's used when transporting
    stuff across the ocean. Cars are often completely covered
    with this stuff before transport.

    It's applied by the manaufacturer for protection of
    parts against corrosion. Starts off like a thick
    paraffin jelly but hardens when heated by the engine.
    Some people spend ages scrubbing it off if they're into
    showing off their engines.

    Definitely not my engine.

    Cosmoline is applied to the underbody to protect against
    corrosion, both on the boat accross the Atlantic and
    during use.

    It's a waxy parrafin like substnace.

    I'm sure the chemical formula, as well as suggestions for
    its use during

    Don't you know you aren't allowed to post any article here
    that's not about me?

    I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits

    I listened to this on the radio this morning. Septics are
    now an average 4 clothes sizes bigger than their
    counterparts were at the end of the war. The bit that really
    made me chuckle was how NYC had ordered a load of subway
    trains from Japan and no-one could sit down because they
    were all too fat for the seats.

    And whilst we're having a bit of a giggle at the Yanks:

    Very interesting French film called 'Belleville Rendezvous'
    that you might try and get hold of - a strange animated
    feature about Tour de France riders kidnapped to a thinly
    disguised New York, and made to compete in races by the
    Mafia before being rescued by a club-footed Grandma and her
    overweight dog.

    The Francocentric depiction of Americans in the film
    is....interesting. I suspect it's not been seen over there
    much as a result..!

    Actually, it was released here under the name "The
    Triplets of Belleville", and was a big hit. Nominated for
    an Academy Award.
