When I was stationed at Camp Pendleton I was at the gym and got paged for a phone call. The wife said that she couldn't leave work to pick me and a buddy up because the car wouldn't start. So we caught the bus to his house and grabbed some tools and went to her job. I told my friend to jump in, open the hood and let's see what it's doing. He started laughing and I was.. just pull the lever. No need, it's fixed he said. Okay WTF? I look in as he put the car in Park and started the car. It was the first car with a console shift for her. Luckily the parking lot was level and the car hadn't rolled away.
Lacking that one most important sweet citrus incredibly delicious key ingredient that belongs on any and all pizza!
I had a mid 90s S 10 blazer that had a strange issue where occasionally wouldn’t crank at all. Couldn’t figure out why, after a spell it would go away and start.
One day, quite accidentally, I found that when it did it, if I turn the key and open the drivers door, it would start. Very strange experience. It became great fun when I had passengers with me.
Eventually, I found it had an old alarm that I didn’t know about, once I disconnected it the problem went away.

Once again, I have done the can’t keep track of which thread I’m in.
If you are close to Lexington go visit Jackson’s grave before the statue is removed.
Natural Bridge is a must see also.
And I’ll stick to my reason, 75% of what’s over there should be in this thread.
I only tacked it on as an afterthought so I wouldn’t just be talking about cars in that thread. lol

Never a coastal redwood but un Montana I cut a few Douglas Fir and Yellow Pine that were 6' at the butt.
Maybe he has a Insignificant other who wears red sole pumps. Just guessing.
In Montana they have a tree called a Tamarack Fir which had little pockets of sap all over it. A pain in the ass to cut down as they had small dry branches all the way to the ground and if you hit a sap pocket it would get all over you. We called them Piss fir.
The up side is it made good glue if you got a cut and the pine was like an astringent.
Egard Watch Co is not woke
Copying that to the Timepiece and Watch thread.

There is a similar fir tree in the Sierras and Cascades. I hated falling piss fir, you almost need to bathe in paint thinner afterwards. I can’t count the sets of Nomex Wildland gear we trashed because of the sap.
A fitting demise for any fool who would put pineapple on pizza!!!
And I hope it hurt and was miserable before hypothermia stopped his heart!
Not very many people on here like you much.
I’ll take a 6’ DBH Ponderosa/Yellow pine over a 6’ DBH Valley Oak that’s on fire any day. Talk about clenched butt cheeks and a good escape route. I do kinda miss that job some times. It was an adventure for sure.
Appomattox before it gets erased.

In Virginia I cut some huge Red and White Oaks but never one on fire, LOL We did deal with huge rattlers, cotton mouths and copperheads. Sometimes I feel bad about cutting them, some were very rare virgin wood that will never be seen again,. Huge hickory trees that would make a million Louisville Sluggers.
I'm guessing you were firefighter? Smoke jumper? I visited the smokejumper school in Montana. Interesting folks.
