Working on a 1996 Ford Explorer 5.0, nothing secures the thermostat into the housing, it just sits in a lip on the housing, which means if it wiggles out during installation, it gets in-between the housing and the engine block.

Put a little gasket shellac in the lip, stick the thermostat to it, wait a minute, continue. Works every time on those... jeep ones are the same.

Didn't have any on hand. But, doesn't matter now, the housing was cracked, and it was leaking anyways.

5 days here. I realized I was spending way too much money to feel like poo poo in the morning and getting way too fat so I decided to cut that poo poo out.

Not too bad so far, besides wanting to snap at people over the most minor annoyances. The insomnia is a bitch though.

Just had Thai food. I like it really hot. My wife, with her great sense of humor, ordered mine and in special instructions she put "as hot as possible. No, hotter than that. Yeah, that hot."

I'm loving dying.

My favorite is when the Thai food is "two beers hot" and the back of my neck starts to sweat. So good.

I felt punch drunk. So it was great.

I love hot food, but I really like to know it's coming. Usually this place isn't THAT hot, even getting a 10/10, so it was a shock when three bites in my mouth was on fire and I had snot pouring out.

Funniest moment of my time in Portland was going to a gym with my buddy, and realizing he was the only black dude we had seen in well over an hour.

But Ron Funches is from there so it's cool.

Also every form of rock and metal ultimately descends from black musicians like BB King once you go back far enough in the origins (and the guy who taught white people how to do metal solos was Jimi Hendrix, after all), so whites don't get to claim metal or rock of any variety. Dance music of pretty much any form: black people (house music came from a black dude from Chicago, techno was three black dudes from Detroit, etc).

On the other hand, some of the funkiest R&B players of all time are white guys from small town Alabama.
