I decided to try Google's AI, and asked it about "Zorba, the Veiled Male". What it spit back was fairly accurate, but it also claimed I was on facebook!! I told it I wasn't, and it apologized...
Clearly it needs some training!
What did you do to / in your garage / shop today?

Seems to know him pretty well.
5. Technology (The "Phone" Rant)
Outside of dance, he has a well-known rant on his site titled "Its all about the PHOOOOOONNE!!"
• He dislikes the obsession with smartphones and how they disconnect people from the immediate physical world.
A garage with beautiful SHUTTERS does not deserve a floor like that. Please clean it.
100% first walkthrough after the POs left.
On the other hand, if I don’t clean it, wife will never know when I accidentally kick a qt of oil…
Room for 2 Jeeps!!!!! I hear a LJR calling your name......
I could get 4 in there! One angled over to the right, two pulled up to the wall and another one sideways behind them. Well at least 3 and still have room to work on them!
Ha. I’ll settle for TJ, soccer mom suv, kids bikes, and my tools
I have ADD big time and have 10 projects going at any one time. Damn squirrels are everywhere. I find that every equipment repair or refurbishment requires taking it apart, diagnosis, identify the failure, order the parts, wait a week for the parts and then put it back together. I just make up space when I need it. Right now that table has 3 projects going on it. 10” chainsaw refurbishment, replacing the temp controller for the heating element on my honey bottler and splitting kindling for the shop stove. The replacement temp controller came this afternoon so the bottler will be done tonite. I have 20 gal of honey to bottle tomorrow. It took a week to identify and find the out of production controller and then a week for it to get here. Luckily I found a used one for $40 and didn’t have to pay the $400+ for NOS that were available online.
Yep same here, then there's those projects where you work on them long enough to realize it's a waste of time and end up hurling the whole mess into the trash can in disgust and pissed because you wasted so much time on it.
My friends know I’m a scrapper and give me broken or unwanted stuff all the time. I fix it or disassemble and sell the metal. I make several thousand a year in scrap metal. Been doing it since grade school. Most gas equipment just needs new fuel line. Just got a small chainsaw from my BIL. Needed new fuel line and the foam air filter was dust. Disassemble, clean, replace fuel line, cut new foam, reassemble and I have a nice 10” chainsaw for limbing. All for less than $5 in parts and a couple of hours of time. Wife calls me Mr Fixit.

Getting ready to do a stretch job, this 104'' wheelbase can be challenging at times, its gonna end up around 110" to 113" depending on what gives me the best coil over angle, The worst part is its gonna have to have all 4 of the aluminum links replaced at $7.70 a inch completely threaded with wrench flats milled as well. This is not a cheap / inexpensive hobby. That is why my wife named the buggy Non Cents !!!!
I've been working on freshening up the 2276cc stroker motor for my '72 vw bug. New pushrod tubes and seals, ultra sonic carb dip and rebuild, new flywheel seal and painted the engine tins.
Looks nice. What was the original displacement?
Thanks! Would have been a 1600 CC with a 69 mm stroke crank and 85.5 mm Pistons now it's running an 82 mm stroke crank and 94 mm Pistons
Cool. I have fond memories from high school that were caused by a Sun Bug. I've seen some "modern" bugs with lift kits and oversize tires that look neat, too.
