The Person Below Me (TPBM)

[Bucksnort101]

All the time. Then you search and search, end up walking away and when you come back many times it's sitting right there. I think you're brain plays tricks on you and makes you think it's in a particular spot so you look but don't really see what's in front of you. Either that or my house has a Poltergeist that likes to hide things and put them back when I'm not looking.

TPBM also thinks they have a spook in the house sometimes.

 

[bobbysocks]

yes and they have the power to change screw drivers from philips to flat head and back!!! when ever i need a philips head i go to my toolbox only to find it overflowing with flatheads. walk away then need a flat head...i can only find philips! coincidence? I think not...

this has happened to TPBM too...

 

[Wayne Little]

Strangely yes.....i think...

TPBM thinks things move in there house....

 

[Bucksnort101]

Without doubt.

TPBM needs a break from reality.

 

[Gnomey]

Every now and again, although not right now...

TPBM prefers to stay in reality...

 

[Readie]

Yep, feet firmly glued to the floor. You have to be a realist if you support Plymouth Argyle....
TPBM 's team dreams of glory on the pitch too

 

[N4521U]

Pitch? whot is that? Do you pitchERS mound? Yep, I would have the same windup as Lincecum, Go Giants

TPBM is Rooting for the Giants too!!!!!

 

[Wayne Little]

Sorry No....The Hammers!

TPBM is a Soccer fan too...

 

[Gnomey]

Not particularly, prefer rugby...

TPBM prefers a different sport as well...

 

[Wayne Little]

Nope...

TPBM will be having bacon and eggs for breakfast...

 

[bobbysocks]

had that yesterday....back to the protien drinks for the rest of the week.

TPBM's baseball team is doing well this year.....

 

[Lucky13]

Have no idea haven't looked....

TPBM would have problems deciding between a '69 GTO or Firebird....

 

[Gnomey]

Can I not just have both...

TPBM would probably do the same...

 

[Wayne Little]

That's fine with me....

TPBM has changed a flat tyre lately...

 

[N4521U]

No, but I did have an alternator come apart on me 40km's from home, $200 for the tow, $245 for a rebuilt alternator.
What gets me is the single fanless belt! If it had two, I woulda just taken the one off and driven home!!!!!

TPBM would like simpler cars as well.

 

[Readie]

Yes please. I lift the bonnet of the Mazda 5 MPV and its an electronic nightmare for the older home mechanically inclined man. WTF are the plugs????
My Ford diesel is a little better but, not much.
Oh, for the simple days before emissions, cats, electric this and electric that and buying a 'GL' model meant having a radio
TPBM agrees

 

[N4521U]

Ah I sure do...... I had a '65 El Camino. Changed the engine, transmission and re-wired the whole car by my own self!!!!!!

TPBM even longs for them old days

 

[Readie]

It was so satisifing to 'do it yourself' too. I make money repairing cars for learner / young drivers. But, the emissions are hard to pass now and without expensive testing equipment impossible to guage.
After a bit of a bundle over the last car, that did eventually pass I have seriously considered packing up.
No point spending hours welding, rebuilding brakes, body work repairs and electrical gremlins chased down to find the CO2 is too high and there isn't any realistic way forward other than fitting a less worn engine....
Such is progress I suppose.

 

[Readie]

Forgot the 'TPBM' again

The TPBM also trys to fix things...

 

[bobbysocks]

yes i do. love to figure out fixes for problems big and small. if i come across something i have never worked on or encountered before...i end up researching and probably buying more tools.

TPBM will take a stab at fixing something first too ( if at all possible )
