3rd engine failure...getting frustrated

[alexiskai]

Part of the problem is that the work we refer to as "rebuild" encompasses both what's more accurately called "repair" and what's more accurately called "restore." If I get damaged babbitt and I send my engine to a shop to redo it – and yeah, sure, take a look at the pistons and seals while you're in there – when I get it back, is it "rebuilt?" I think people use the term pretty broadly to describe a wide variety of work at a wide variety of prices.

We’re to old to worry about others comments.

I think as people get older, they start to lose their intellect. This usually shows in a lack of compassion and an inability to put themselves in other people's shoes and is typically covered by a quote like, "I tell it like it is..." or, "I'm too old to care about what people think."

They are set in their ways...

And I'd talk **** and look down at those folks, but honestly... as I get older, I think my intellect is declining as well. It's something I really want to work on.

I have a buddy that is 77 years old and he's one of the lucky ones... I swear to god, the dude hasn't lost a bit of his patience, compassion, or energy. *******.
