Redwood says I do not know how to retire

[rcmatt007]

So, I am back in Oklahoma for a SHORT-term temp position at the OU student health clinic. Afterall, I have to pay for the "hand grenade" fuel pump that caused my truck to need major repairs on our trip to Alaska and back.

I agree with Redwood

It does take some effort. She's right, they always are.

Took me 14 years to get it right …

You know, you're giving some of us a bad name.....

[rcmatt007]

Well I have now at least paid off the truck repair I had to do from our Alaska trip. I am mostly seeing students and it is amazing how many conversations start with, "I talked to my mom...."

back home, so maybe if we get some warm days I will be in the shop. Here is the list:
1. M3W is burning a quart of oil every 200 miles... x-wedge parts are made of unobatanium.
2. Need to wash the Road King (I trailered it to Okahoma)
3. Replace the coils on the Ltd to see if that is the intermittent cut out of two cylinders
4. Get back to work on the 77 sulfur yellow and my OEM 78.

had a 71 Satellite (slant 6) that we had to put oil in every day after the Wife drove to work and back. One of the prettiest cars I have ever owned. Wish I had it today but unfortunately it got traded for a ford exp.

makes oil changes easy, you just add oil

My 1977 Chevy work Van that I bought with ATM money just before I built my house had a similar issue. Stop ever 200 miles and add oil, but check the gas every other time.

yes, my 65 chevy belaire 6 needed oil every tank of gas... of course the gas guage did not work either. just poured in the oil used from the good car
