The electrical nerd genius charged me more than he said he would to fix my amp. There's nothing I can do about it. I'll happily pay the difference. Sometimes when you're up against a genius it's better to lick your wounds than to cause a stir. There aren't too many electrical nerd geniuses around, so he pretty much has me by the balls.
I discovered something about motor oil. It makes for an excellent wood stain. I changed the oil in my convertible before taking it in for a smog test. I kept the oil to make use of it. I got the idea from a homesteader on YouTube. I thought wow, that's both incredibly smart and stupid at the same time. I'm going to try that.
I barbequed last night. I lit a fire. I was more attentive than usual having just stained part of the deck with motor oil. I sat there and watched the fire like a hawk. The wood eventually absorbs the oil and the danger factor diminishes with time. So I'm guessing.
There's a part of me that wants to light a match and toss it on the deck just to see what happens. That's the part of me that didn't do so well in school. The other part of me is wiser. That's the part of me that did a little better in college.
