some times ja just gotta...

Sometimes I get calls from people asking about there car. They usually want to know something specific and technical so they can make an informed choice when buying a part or talking to a mechanic (contrary to popular opinion, I am not a mechanic) so they will call and ask me to give them some little nugget of info. This is usually not a problem but on occasion people do not know some info I need to give them the proper answer. For instance someone doesn’t actually know what kind of car they drive. This makes it much more difficult to make an informed inquiry there fore making the answer a “pat” answer and not necessarily the right one. Sometimes people don’t know what year of car they drive. Sometimes this makes it almost impossible to give a concrete answer cuz some car companies have made the same named car for 30 years but the car is totally different.
Some people call and do not know what size there engine is. There tends to be an equation I use that is almost always accurate. If I want to find out if it is a 4 cylinder or a 6 cylinder I ask if there car has “lotsa power” (read this carefully) if they say yes then I assume it has the smaller engine. If they say no then I assume it has the bigger engine. See it’s because of priorities. If a person wants fuel economy then they will opt for the smaller motor (this is a topic of major misinformation) (more on that later) they are then surprised by the power that the car does have and as such are of the opinion that the car has lotsa power! If on the other hand, they are motivated to buy the car that has the most power, they will try to get the biggest engine they can. ‘Car” people tend to want a v8 or bigger and are only limited by what they can afford. But because of the similarity in cost between 2 identical cars (save for the engine) they will pick the one with the bigger engine. These people look at the big boys with the v8 cars and see that although there car is more powerful then the 4 cylinder car, they are still not all that powerful.
So when someone responds that there car has lotsa power, I am almost always sure that there car must be a 4 cylinder.

P.S. if you drive a 4 cylinder car, it aint fast. It just isn’t and it will never be cool so don’t try! V8 is what makes a car cool not the “bling”!

mmmmmmm cake

Alec Scott

Today we are sad. Today we grieve the loss of a good man. Alec Scott died on Friday April 13. Good Friday. He was a good father and a good father-in-law he was a believer and a Godly man. He was an organic farmer and a musician. He was private and kind. He was a husband and a grandfather. We will miss him as well as rejoice that on the day Jesus died for our sins 2000 years later Alex looked Jesus in the face. He spent Easter worshiping Jesus. We loved and love him.

I made the youth office assistant cry this week. That has to count for something. I hate it when people are sad. Happy is much more fun. Also I had some grapes. Green if I remember properly. My son is in a red and yellow shirt, blue swets and he is walking away with the mouse for this computer! Scott needs to update his blog, and Darrell needs a hamburger. Some times I love good standup comedy, and other times I adore it! I want some food, and a slurpy – can I get an Amen? I want a new computer cuz this one is a jerk! Tomorrow, I will be doing papers so maby I will skip! Also, tomatos suck. Mandy is talking to her mom and I am in shorts. Pandora.com rocks and so does the dukes of hazzered!
