Toadfish Thought of the Day

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

"Installation is the reverse of removal."

- Haynes manual mantra

LOL!

That works, IF you remember the orientation when you took it out.... and IF you didn't break something in the taking-it-out step and IF you didn't loose some of the parts when it finally DID release from it's moorings....!

My Brake Job mantra:

Jack up BOTH SIDES at the same time.  Remove BOTH wheels (on each side).  Expose the parts for both (remove both drums, etc) But NOTHING MORE THAN THAT.

Then, when inevitably you have it all apart, and are going for the reassemble, you have a nice model to work on-- it may be in mirror image, but it's a good template to how it ought to go back together...

Nothing like an actual 3-D example of how it should look to assist you.

Of course, I always got complete spring kits, and there was always extra (duplicate) bits for doing that.  Used to bother me to no end..... it would LOOK correct, but all these leftover bits....?

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction."

Evil is not the absence of righteousness but of empathy.

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."

A paragraph should be like a lady's skirt: long enough to cover the essentials but short enough to keep it interesting.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace."


- - Milan Kundera

[Opsa]

I'll be half a century old this Sunday and this morning these words came to me. They are nothing new. They've probably been said a million times, but here they are again:

I choose not to be a victim of life but rather an instigator for good.

I am grateful for all the good medicine in my life- among others, this means YOU!

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from out children." - Native American saying.

[Pachyderm]

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

Groucho Marx

[pieces o nine]

Chocolate slows down aging! It may not be true, but dare I take the risk?

[anthrobabe]

Todays thought is for Sibling Chatty (aka Auntie Dee Dee)
a kiss 
may the wind be always warm on your face
wherever you may be--keep giving them hell! Don't let 'em slack!
Rest and be free from the worries and troubles.

There is a hole in the world.

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

There is a hole in the world.

Aye, and a pair of empty shoes too big to fill.

[Opsa]

The shoes will remain empty, but we might mend the hole gradually with brightly colored yarns.

[Bluenose]

Indeed, we shall mend the hole with brightly coloured yarns woven in with our memories.

[Pachyderm]

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
