[expatriated]

Well, TECHNICALLY, I'm not a gynecologist, but I'll usually be happy to take a look.

(As far as tools go, though, I know nothing that I didn't learn here on the board)

Tool hunting at fleamarkets and hock shops and reselling to fellow tool addicts!!

Women and weed

I know I'm an expert at something else I just forgot.

Oh yeah, chicken farming and pre-99 Volvo's.

ATF!!!

Everyones entitled to my opinion

 

[billymade]

I know how to use "google"; it really helps answering questions around here..... makes people think, I have a "clue"! LOL!

 

[A_Pmech]

Bolster is being far to generous.

In reality, I'm a self-proclaimed expert at:

Building mildly fast 2-wheeled twin-cylinder conveyances
STOL Cessna 150's with manual flaps
Burning things, especially dinner
Giving aircraft owners heartburn

AND, my greatest achievement:

BACON!







All joking aside, I can recommend:

Mjozefow: Woodworking and Victorian restoration
Rsanter: Ingersoll-Rand air compressor pumps
LGmechanical: Heavy truck repair
Nissan Crawler: Rock crawlers and tool control/organization

I can think of others who are no doubt very competent in their fields, but have remained quiet about their work.

I can be asked any automotive, heavy duty and light duty truck, diesel question and I will gladly answer to the best of my knowledge.
I am also a fairly educated person on the Wankel Rotary, which is hard to find techs who work on them nowadays.

ATF!!!

Was that supposed to be a "WTF" or am I missing something exciting about transmission fluid? LOL

I think they meant DEA, not ATF.

 

[volvo420coupe]

Oh Yeah! I totally forgot about "that" ATF.

Yeah, I think I like that one the best.

 

[truckdriver]

I can sniff out a cold beer a 1000yds away. Beyond that I'm pretty much useless unless you need to know how to break something.

 

[Joe69]

I've been a diesel mechanic for almost 23 years, 8 on heavy trucks, and the last 15 on heavy equipment.

I'm glad to help with any small engine/outdoor power equip questions,since I've been at it since 1978.

Although I had to let go of my Spanish motorcycle hobby,I still keep current with that kind of stuff,so can help in that way if someone gets an old Bultaco,Montesa or OSSA.

I am also a fairly educated person on the Wankel Rotary, which is hard to find techs who work on them nowadays.

It's easy to fix any Rotary, just replace the spark plugs and it's good to go again! Lol. Making them pass smog is a real skill. They run so rich it's PITA to get those HC's down.

I'm a factory trained Honda/Acura tech with years of experience at the dealer level. I'm an auto tech so I can help with those kinds of questions mostly of the Japanese car sort.
I also own and collect arcade/pinball machines and I'm into vintage two stroke streetbikes. I dabble in all sorts of stuff.

Been suppoting myself by doing appliance repairs since '93.

Don't know it all, but I can come close.
