Uncle oldduke and Art B.,
Very graciously glad to help you, most excellent and goodly Sir! I hope it was not too far afield. I hope it helps you. I'm just an exhaust and suspension mechanic with a sometimes used multimeter doing the dirty work on your Volvo 240. Swapping out the alloy Virgos, Coronas, and such for the snow steelie wheels I like so much better. (Don't like alloy wheels at all anymore. Too much hub corrosion of the iron alloy and steel in there losin' them electrons to them alloy wheels.)
Uncle Art, thank you for your kindly grace.
I was hopped up on two large glasses of the Ahmad Aromatic Earl Grey tea earlier, with hunny and milk. What drives the imagination to fill in the memory lapses.
Also, a recruiter contacted me for a gig in Collegeville, Pennsylvania with a biopharma company that sounded so awesome I was over the moon. Responding to intersecting regulatory controls for a variety of systems used in biopharma R&D through documentation artifact production would be all too cool. Maybe I can afford a nearby flat with a garage on that precious dime and treat them 240 rear wheel bearings, the rust, the other bits for replacement. Maybe find a 164?
And I could visit you Atlantic Northeast brickboard folks! Yet I'll bring the Waxoyl and other undercoating products in large drums to save the Volvo 240s and other RWD Volvos in your single snowflake and mountains of salty pretzel roads. Maybe use sacrificial zinc anodes or install a heavy copper ground loop or conductor from battery to tail light and back again, with sacrificial zinc loads, to redirect that darned corrosion?
I now have ten or more sets of sedan taillights and three or four wagon taillights. Not yet got to cleaning them out, sealing them up, and setting up for bright LED. I want about 50 candle power combined red LED output for the brake lights, and maybe set up a diode circuit to use the left taillight fog light and corresponding right taillight red lens position to have four + high center third brake light. Bright and instant brake lights! No heat! No cracked plastic and hopefully no more leaky tail lights. I'm unsure those canned 1157 LEDs you can buy. I guess they work?
The SuperLube silicon synthetic NLGI-2 grease works great on the flexi circuit board contacts and in the bulbholders. Use sparingly. Okay to use like DeOxIt, yet do not get into the engine, speaking of 02 sensor and catalytic converters! I debate on applying it to the AMM/MAF connector. It needs it. Works well to grease up the fuse box and also the wire harness termination on the fuse box connector side. The 1990 240 li'l red wagon was like a much younger Volvo 240 after greasing up the fuse box with that grease. I'll treat the power stage, CPS connector, fuel injector connectors, and such. The low voltage wire harness connector seals are silicon seals, so it should be okay. Though may not melt the corrosion like the DeOxIt does so very well for a dielectric anti-corrosion for low voltage electrical connectors.
I'd also like an Aunt Bea, but that's in that fictional show where Andy Griffith portrays Andy Taylor as the kindly and honest Sheriff in Mayberry, North Carolina. We could enjoy more kindly and honest of them. Like I recall as a child around St. Louie, MO county.
I know the guy that owns Geno's Steak in Philly on South Street. Though doubt we'd get cheese steaks for free.
The Atlantic Northeast population mass scares the stuffing out of me. Should the Walking Dead TV version of the zombie apocalypse show up there. Or the Azores or Canary Island caldera rims collapse into the Atlantic, or something worse, let go. It'd be a scrubbing and scouring of coastal places in the entire Atlantic basin, if not also the global ocean, should them caldera rims collapse. Those caldera rims *are* moving.
Also want a St. Louis style pizza like Cecil Whittaker's and Imo's and Joe Boccardi's and Farotto's (where Jack Buck would go after calling Cardinals games, and tip like 200$). So, I'm ready to go to the 'Lou, too.
Sooooooooooooo ready to leave poopykane, WA. Oh the vagaries of this Company town. The Company. Yeah, that's right. Quite the enslaving enclave here in poopykane, WA.
Welp, Happy Friday!
A Dairy Emergency: Out of Dairy! Gots an evap milk can for the punkin pie.
