Maybe OT, but funny. . .

1.
So, I was in the garage moving this around and saw a new calendar on the wall. Calendar of naked MEN! I walked into the house and asked the DH about it. He said if I was going to become a mechanic I needed a naked guy calendar! Guess he's proud that I did the GPs. I figure he should wait and be proud when I do a successful valve adjustment that doesn't blow my engine!


2.
At the PO I was standing in line to mail a package and a guy behind me was talking to someone else about transmissions. Guy 1 was asking Guy 2 about his transmission. Guy 2 says to bring car to his shop, he knows everything about transmissions.
Me being me, I asked Guy 2 if he knows anything about old MB trannys. He claims to know everything about every tranny ever made and hands me his biz card.
So I say, well what would you do if I brought you a 78 300SD that was flaring from 1st to 2nd gear? He said, "Well, after I pull the tranny. . .'' I hand him back his card as I was called to the counter.

I figure if the answer doesn't start with checking the tranny fluid AND the modulator, I don't want you touching my tranny.

Thought you'd all get a kick out of those two stories.
Happy Hump Day!

I have done most of the work on my cars, in my garage, but I don't think my DW will let me hang a naked lady calendar on the wall! Lucky girl you are.

You should have asked that mechanic about the reverse band adjustment as well....

That was going to be my second question if he'd passed the first.
But, nope!
