Boy did I make myself look bad. After I put the timing gear cover on. Then I check the timing and guess what. Boy how dumb do I feel. Still want to thank you all for bearing with me. Just getting old! Richard/Ca

You're just "NORMAL" like the rest of us. Gregg & I & the Dog just call it "BRAIN FARTS" (If you NEVER make mistakes, then you're DAID!!)
Did you know that a Norelco razor won't run when the plug fell out of wall, behind Pat's vase of flowers? I moved the vase, so it will hold the plug in, if that don't wurk, I'll give the prongs a DAB uf sillycone "rubber" bILL w.
I can fix "anything", except for my Mother in Law's VINTAGE TOASTER! When I took off the chrome cover, to replace an old frayed cord, 27 individual slightly crookedy wires fell out of their individual holes!!!!!------"Hey Ovada, going to git you a new toaster"!! Bill W.

After 60 years of not reading direction to new products and listening to people please read the direction after ripping the box open I now read direction first then try to build the new bike that goes under the Christmas tree.
I'm still working on please ask for directions in lieu of driving around for three hours. life can be funny .......sometimes

After reading several pages of safety warnings, i've found that when you finally get to the instructions, most instructions ain't worth a damn.

Just remember... the instructions that come with with a new appliance or tool are just someone else's opinion!
