Probably been decades since there have been so many choices. Finding one that pays decent might not be so easy.

Lou, that young lady looks pretty happy for someone who did a big booboo and got her butt chewed out!! Did she fill the whole tank? Do you gotta go thru the fuel lines and carb to clean out? Looks like she's on the front side of getting her hands dirty!!!
And glad I don't gotta do any electrical work....short wire and expensive?! Besides, I don't know anything about electricity!
Wasnt bad. Bled the fuel rail and fired it up. 30 gallons of diesel in a 50 gallon tank. Gas in a diesel rig is worse. It doest help to chew them out. Just have to make it a teaching moment. I wood hate to make a student cry...

They are mostly low paying internships that never lead to a real job. There is a constant supply of interns around here.

Rattle can fixes that. Just keep the garage door open.

Undercoating a motorcycle? If you take a Ural in salt, it's gonna need a hell of a lot more protection than just on the bottom. $600 would buy enough undercoat to cocoon the whole bike.

Some years back I talked to the guy selling this '05 for $1000. He said it didn't even make through one winter as a daily rider to work. All I wanted was the motor and trans but he wouldn't part it out. Couple days later I decided the motor and trans were worth $1000 (drop in power and electric start upgrade for my old 650), and if I could clean up the sidecar and paint it, could probably get over $1000 for it. But... waited too long, someone else grabbed it. Probably just as well, the rusty car would have sat in the backyard and I already had more projects than reasonable.

Never heard of pressurizing the tank to drain it, that actually works?

I don't think I mentioned something Audrey gave me, about as good a coffee as I've had, but a bit pricey. Black Rifle Coffee, a company made up of military vets and their families. Have a lot of different blends, have only tasted these two. Haven't seen a zip lock bag for coffee like this before, works pretty good. I have 16 oz cups, use 1/4 teaspoon sugar (not enough to taste sweet, I don't like sweet coffee) and a half teaspoon of whipping cream, don't like half and half or powdered stuff.

More than twice as fast as gravity bleeding. Took maybe 5 minutes through a 1" ID tube to drain 50 gallons.
