Dallas,

Just how long is that extenuating cord???


Is that a Bb minor Chord or D minor 7? Is music in a minor chord always sadder? What radio stations play more minor versus major chord songs? Will we get better mileage if we listen to AM or FM stations



that was a pretty good drift wasn't it?

This reminds me of the Paul Harvey story a few years ago about the woman who was shot in the fracas!

I think Dallas slammed the nail on the short end of the stick, but it all made crystal clear money til RickB brought up the question of the cord. Now I'm totally confused ??? And whose momma was in the Fracas? Did you bail her out?

well, it's a secret chord, obviously.  the fourth, the fifth - what I don't get is the fourth is indeed a minor fall, but the fifth is a dominatrix, not a Major...

Come on folks, y'all know that the length of an extenuating cord varies depending on the temperature of the DDEC seat actuater and whether the Norcold hydronic inverter is 12 volt or 8D.

Right, but if you extenuate the flaps and slats, then the cord changes and the electron flow through the flux capacitor into the accumulator will most definitely cause the bypass blower valve (that one's for RickB) to seize, and the unloader will stick, causing the governor to issue a pardon for the rear junction box termination point, resulting in massive corrosion of the 9th opus and the final collapse of the airbeam. The inevitable conclusion then, is to use grease in your wiper bearings rather than oil and fill the inverter with Sikaflex.

I can top the Paul Harvey quote.

I have actually seen a copy of the fargo Newspaper that ran the headline "Fertile woman killed in Climax". Fertile and Climax are two twons in Northern Minnesota.

Don't you think a proof reader would have caught that???

BTW I thought this was an excellent drift as well

Ah.....but you have to remember to only use a cord that has male ends on it. :)  This part was discussed on a board that i go to, along with the Dark Sucker explanation, a year or two ago.

fe2_03,

In answer to your question:

"If she was shot in the fracas and died in Climax...Then how many pancakes does it take to shingle a dog house?...Cable"

Everybody worth their salt shaker knows the answer to that basic question...

From what I heard her fracus was a problem from day one. After spraying soapy water on it they found a leak which explained why she always leaned. The previous owner tried to hide it but it became obvious after they locked her in the shed for 3 days. I know fracus's can be tempermental and I'm just glad I know how to work my way around them when they start acting up thanks to all the advise I get from you guys!

I'm sure glad that Luvrbus warned us to deworm the fracus after every 3000 or yearly. Who was is that built an automatic deworming fracus thingamabob? I can't find it on the search. All I get is Bobofthenorth...

There's a Climax Pennsylvania not to far from the Mack Truck Plant. Of course if they drove her through Indiana and California (ation) instead of Moon Township and Mars, PA; they could have patched her blinkers with airbag fluid and saved enough hot air to keep her afloat long enough to charge her PBX account for Dallas's inverted phase array splitter; thus saving his bus from the Aliens at the TMC bus plant in Roswell, New Mexico.

(Of course, some of you may have heard of the Alien craft nearby here at Kecksburg, PA in 1965. The Aliens weren't really here. No seriously! They weren't. Then again, it seems like people were always visiting the schools when I grew up with little flash cameras when History was being taught..)

Now what was the topic?

I don't think you should use a diminished chord or altered chord. Just go with a major or extented chord you might be in code.  Maybe Sean will sound off on this one...   :o

This sounds like the classic english translation of a japanese manual translated from chinese by the manager of hangar operations at Wright Patterson Hangar-13.

As for the torque fluid, I got 5 gallons a while back but it was too tight and I needed a bigger wrench. I haven't figured out where the fracas nut is and whether it turns left or right. There is no end in sight.. Oh..wait.. That was a mirror I was looking in. I always wondered why images on my rear camera always went up and down. The chaos knut was loose again.

A slightly to moderately over torqued bus nut can have that effect too.   ;D

    You must remember to discharge the credisfer before you plug it in. Otherwise the mihle ranjen will dislodge the chingoletti and your whole epiture flywheel gromice (with or with out the vacuum gasket attachment) will blastic your makmug viking port. However this can all be avoided if you are boondocking and can plug into the proper currentbush...Cable

I've always found that when the centripetal force on the inverter becomes too great the hyperparabolic spanner is useless.  You to expergate before it ululates. 

Believe me, I know from experience, you don't want to be anywhere close to a ululating torque converter.  In fact I will go out on a limb and say that it is worse than a irascible fracas.

And if you want to calculate the feasability of all this, multiply the square root of the inverse proportion by Pi and don't forget to also factor in windage as a variable of at least 5%,  + or -.

The most important thing to check, before moving in the dark, is the filament fluid. Always check it. The cap for it, is right back there, next to the muffler bearing (that needs to be checked every 4000 miles), under that thingamajigle, and behind the whatchamacallit.

God bless,

John

Oh, and Dallas, if you wonder how many batts to run a Ice cream freezer (or Len, or whoever). Maybe we could find out for you ::) ::) ::).

Filimant fluid?  Is that like blinker fluid?  I once ran out of blinker fluid and my turn signals stopped working.
