Bet you figured out at a young age that there are better ways than holding a sparkplug wire to see if it's "getting fire" - and maybe you weren't even the one on the receiving end of that little experiment.

Learned that lesson. Still only way to test a battery though...sick your tongue to the terminals. Hate testing car batteries though.

BS. You're trying to convince us you tongue is a foot long.

It's only 30.48 cm

Let me see here....
2.54 X 12m = ?

Uh huh, and you smooth down your eyebrows with your tongue, too.

No. I smooth down everyone's with my tongue

If we ever meet up for any reason, please promise me you will do it.

Waffle house appointment?

I want to thank @k-town_king for steering the conversation phallic. It has been much more enjoyable than politics or the presidential election.

But I still can't get Hog to answer my question as to the prevalence of Peyronie's in the 6 years he spent ogling at service members' members.

 

[McDad]

Waffle house appointment?

Heck yeah. I will meet anyone, anytime at WH. K-town included.

FFS as much as you work on cars and you don’t own a multimeter?!

Well, as best as I can figure, he wasn't doing it for scientific reasons as much as he was just enjoying a hobby. Probably not equipped to answer your question.

Multimeters are for sissies and communists.

I just saw another one of those curved pecker commercials. Must be a bushel or a peck of them out there.

Not mine, doggie breath.

Amen! Every engineer should have to actually do maintenance/repair work on what they are designing.

It's going to be a bigger problem because I don't see kids (either sex now) working on stuff as they grow up. Without it, there's just no innate feel for how things work, how you get to something for test or repair, or what's actually solid and stable. I had a lot of respect for farm kids entering engineering - I'd take a TN Tech engineering grad over a Vandy grad any day.

Primary reason I became an engineer was because my dad got me to tinkering with things when I was young. My go cart, mini bike, lawn mower, home electrical, auto maintenance etc...

First I decided I wanted to be a machinist like my brother when I was in middle school.

Then after a few more years of working on cars and feeling “what dumbass thought this was a good idea” I figured I’d cut out the middle man.

To this day at work when a fellow engineer comes back with “oh I don’t change my own car oil” or “oh I just called an electrician/plumber” I’ll smile and say out loud Bless your heart. FFS why did you get into engineering then you lazy bastard?!

 

[NorthDallas40]

Multimeters are for sissies and communists.

And people with functioning taste buds. Just sayin.

 

[McDad]

What? No. You misunderstand.

I only meet up to eat up. I'm too pretty to be fighting.

 

[McDad]

Taste buds are a conspiracy of Big Spice. Don't be a sheep!

Can't say I ever looked that hard.

I was told if you have a 220v outlet, and it is convenient (like in a garage or something) you can simply plug the generator into the outlet, make sure you turn off the main electric supply at the panel (critical step), power up the generator and you're good to go. Won't run the whole house but will power the main stuff like freezers, tvs and such. No need to go through a costly install process.

Get a generator to run the generator. Cmon man.

Just so you know, I made enough money being an engineer that I just pay someone to change my oil and wash my vehicles. Now back in the olden days I changed my own oil, washed my own vehicles and changed my own brakes. Screw the olden days.

Lol I make enough to pay somebody to do it too. But instead I do it myself and spend that money on my bass boat and other toys instead priorities.

I don’t wash my own truck though. Everybody has their limits.
