Hopefully you don't get those days to awful frequently Eric. But here's a suggestion if you do. I found out that GM allows its designers to once in a while take what they call a power lunch. They are allowed to be gone for 2, 3, or even 4 hours for lunch just to change up their routine by going to a mall or a park or any other place where they can clear their minds and possibly subconsciously see new shapes and lines to incorporate into their next design they are having trouble with. Well in the real world of ownership or working for the man to pay the bills, power lunches dont factor in to easily. So I call them power days. The minute I get that feeling I'll stop right there for a coffee or a pop. I grab a smoke and take a little 10 minute sanity break. Then through out the day, just stop on occasionally maybe for a phone call to a buddy or a quick treat to snack on. Step out to stretch your legs if it's a nice day and realize that you needed that little extra, like turning on the tunes over the work bench in the background to get you by. Nothing like singing a couple of bars of King of the Road, to lift your spirits. ( you know, Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let 50 cents, no phone no pool no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes. Just Google The lyrics. The days they hear the radio playing around me while I'm working, are the days they have learned to bother me the least, and those are my power days. I usually end up leaving in much better spirits than I went in with. They break that cycle of the daily grind and make the days unit the next power day bearable. Hope that helps you. Take Care as usual. You are a top notch grade a1 master mechanic and diagnostician, even if you use a propane torch to melt the goo off of a fuel pump access cover, when it says to use a heat gun. Lol That could have been your big moment! See ya. Jpol. Just remember, people will usually razz the people they like! Good Day.

Having travelled many times to China on business, the first thing I learned was that there are three grades of products manufactured in China. High quality products for Chinese domestic consumption. Average grade products for export. Finally, garbage quality products that are ONLY exported to the United States. The Chinese government despises everything America represents. They are not our friends. We should not be doing any business with them what-so-ever. Just my two cents. Great video Eric.

Another multi part series. YES! Already in my Pj's and settling into bed. Part 1 was interesting. Wish we/you were able to find out the cause on the failure though.
Hey! Giving us the finger 45: 07! What did we do? Lol. That must've hurt.
Yeah, I think I will put out that 10 part engine series. I read it in the comments. I'm surprised that many ppl like them! I do, but again, I don't do TV.
