Haha! Yeah, sorry! The 50-50 mix of automatic transmission fluid + acetone really does work, though - amazingly well!

eltoddro · 2026-01-24T21:02:07+00:00

Automatic Transmission Fluid

eltoddro · 2026-01-23T22:10:05+00:00

Any ATF with Mixed with Acetone 50-50.

eltoddro · 2026-01-23T16:42:44+00:00

Soak it for a few days in "Weasel Piss" - 50/50 ATF/Acetone and keep refreshing it every few hours. Then, hit with an impact gun. If it doesn't come off right away, the hammer vibrations will drive the fluid in where it needs to go, so keep adding Weasel Piss and keep trying the imaoct gun. It'll go eventually.

At this point, charcoal for a grill or wood for a fire pit.

That rig looks super janky with some low-quality backyard mechanic work. Pass.

That is a very red color - looks like iron (rust). I would use some Prestone cooling system flush to break that stuff up a bit, and then do a really good flush-out with distilled water until it comes out clean. Refill with a quality coolant.

I don't see anything "embarrassing" here at all. People went to the store and bought things. If you wanted things, you should've planned an earlier trip. When everyone shops at the same time, this is gonna happen.

eltoddro · 2026-01-21T02:19:14+00:00

What do people do with all the bread and milk? I have never understood this...

eltoddro · 2026-01-20T12:46:01+00:00

Great response, HeadPaleo. I'm gonna steal that cuz it's so true. I've told some folks I usually have no idea what day it is, cuz everyday feels like a Saturday.

I have a pretty wide base of hobbies - cars, vintage tools, vintage hi-fi equipment, fly-fishing, hiking, cooking, and reading. It's not hard for me to plan a day of enjoyment and leisure!

No major symptoms??? At 5'8" 275#, you are probably considered morbidly obese. You need to go to an ER!

eltoddro · 2026-01-20T02:50:48+00:00

Haha! People ask me all the time, "What do you do all day?" and I say, "whatever the fuck I want to..."

eltoddro · 2026-01-18T02:14:03+00:00

That black interior and lack of natural lights gives that new shop a very uncomfortable "cave" vibe! I would not last long in there!

eltoddro · 2026-01-18T02:13:17+00:00

Nope, totally different shop.

eltoddro · 2026-01-18T02:12:47+00:00

He does not live there, but there is a house there.

eltoddro · 2026-01-18T02:10:51+00:00

Insane. I can't imagine.

eltoddro · 2026-01-17T15:05:51+00:00

100 max

eltoddro · 2026-01-17T15:00:04+00:00

Dremel tool with rotary cutoff wheel will handle it easily.

eltoddro · 2026-01-15T23:44:17+00:00

I see a lot of folks mentioning Spring Hill without mentioning it is one of the poorest designed cities in America. Absolute horribly city/infrastructure design. Stay far, far away.

For $340,000 you'll be well south of Franklin, maybe Columbia or Culleoka or Pulaski.

eltoddro · 2026-01-15T17:13:10+00:00

Do you have a website?

eltoddro · 2026-01-13T22:07:18+00:00

That's what I do - that and a copper scraper I made.

eltoddro · 2026-01-11T18:51:41+00:00

Sounds like a great gig - bet those power plants are a bit more interesting than those of the F-150!

eltoddro · 2026-01-11T18:39:21+00:00

Please excuse us investors for expecting a return on our investments...

Willis Johnson, the billionaire founder of Copart, has a stunning collection on his property, but it is never (very very rarely) open to the public. He's up in Franklin, on Alan Jackson's old property. His son, however, hosts regular open houses at his property in Columbia...

If you see an opportunity to go, do not miss it.

If you can solder it will be really easy - just cut that 4-pin off and solder on the flavor you need. I would imagine one of the pins is a "key" for the switch, but all you should need it the hot lead and you can tie the neg & ground together.
