    I like the ideas but you guys don't understand. Taking my shoes off in the house evacuates a whole floor Now alone in the washer with some Bounce beads, and plenty of detergent It will work, or it won't I guess. After they come out I'll fill them with kitty litter and put them in the freezer

    Can i find a job?

    Ever since I did the lower intake manifold on a 3.4 in a Buick I've preferred transmissions. Course it could be the wife's car takes my money and the van transmissions I've worked on make me money
