Morning ... Cool start - Nice weekend

Morning all!

IT jargon makes me more stupider. Might as well be Chinese algebra.

Well, that probably explains while after a career in/around it, I am in fact more stupid for it.

Morning

I'd have a better chance of figuring out how a woman's mind works than figuring out how a personal computer works.

Repaired the truck yesterday, damn little wire chewers. Had to raise the bed up on the drivers side 6" to get to the Fuel Tank Pressure Switch. Changes the switch and repaired the wiring.

Wire insulation made out of soybean oil?

Never have quite come to grips with that being fact or fiction. Plenty of anecdotal evidence suggests fact but plenty of petro-based wiring insulation chewed which leans towards the soy thing being myth/internet enhanced.

I remember replacing spark plug wires on more than one car due to field mice chewing on them. Also used to find on occasion dog food and other crap crammed into the air filter housing.

Oh I think it was definitely a thing but the chewers are opportunists. I’ve seen rats chew through the copper when there was pig feed nearby.

They use soybean and peanut oil from what I’ve been told. This is not the first time this has happened to me. They got some wiring on a Traverse we owned.

PVC today is plasticized with epoxidized soybean oil, different from the straight material. It replaced pthalates because pseudo chemists thought that the whole family of pthalates looked too much like estrogen in it's chemical structure and was responsible for hormone problems in children. At least that's the story presented by personal injury law firms representing soccer moms. The same people who think raccoons are starship pilots, but I'm digressing.

Some epoxidized soybean oil has always been used as an stabilizer in PVC as it's inexpensive.

Barbs car, fuel pump died. $350 for the pump, $650 for the labor. Ready on Tuesday. Grrr

Finally caught the bug the rest of the family had. Slept 12 hours last night and needed it. ibuprofen is finally kicking in. Hope I kick this thing before work on Monday. Just makes for a bad weekend for everyone, especially when Saturday is supposed to be “Dad-urday”.

Hope y’all stay healthy. There’s some nasty stuff going around.

Years ago I was working on Mom’s van and found a large pile of paint balls in the air box. Many of them half eaten.

You mean the same people who think giving hormones to prepubescent children with gender dysphoria is ok?

Raccoons are starship pilots, haven't you seen Guardians of the Galaxy?
