I like to think I've learned a few things in my life, and I have, but really I know just enough to know that I don't know shit

2020-10-27 03:35:02 UTC  

Still, time permitting, I could rebuild that truck of yours almost in its entirety

2020-10-27 03:36:35 UTC  

I think that’s the way most people should look at it.. regardless of how much you know, there is always so much more to learn.

@ThatShadyVandal And I don’t doubt that for a second.. you seem to know what you’re doing 😂

2020-10-27 03:37:29 UTC  

I like to think I do, too... sometimes, I may actually! Lol

2020-10-27 03:37:53 UTC  

You know what's funny, is last Saturday I took one of these and rebuilt it

This is a holley 4-barrel, spreadbore "double pumper"

2020-10-27 03:39:12 UTC  

First time I ever did one... buddy of mine watched me work the whole time. Didn't believe me that it was my first time

2020-10-27 03:40:14 UTC  

I just take things slow when I work, but I went about it so gracefully that he thought I'd done it before

2020-10-27 03:42:20 UTC  

I’m gonna be honest, I’m not entirely sure what that is. 😂 but congrats. like I said, you seem very knowledgeable, and you’re mentality seems as if you’re always willing to learn. That I suppose is the best way to succeed in life

2020-10-27 03:43:09 UTC  

This is something called a carburetor. It's a mechanical way of feeding fuel to your engine. They used to be common up until around 35 years ago

2020-10-27 03:43:30 UTC  

Oh, I see

2020-10-27 03:43:38 UTC  

You're a smart, young woman if you recognize the value in that approach

2020-10-27 03:43:47 UTC  

It'll get you far in life

2020-10-27 03:44:33 UTC  

Thank you. I attribute that to my parents, in the way that they raised me.

2020-10-27 03:45:08 UTC  

You've got great parents. They did a very good job raising you

2020-10-27 03:45:24 UTC  

At least, based on what I know of them so far

2020-10-27 03:46:01 UTC  

Indeed I do.. they’re good people.

2020-10-27 03:47:31 UTC  

I'd tell em that personally, if I could. It's hard to find people like that anymore, at least out here in Cali

2020-10-27 03:49:53 UTC  

We’re in AZ.. but yeah, younger generations have been more spoiled than raised.. I admire the effort they put into it, with the homeschooling and all.

2020-10-27 03:50:50 UTC  

Damn. They went the extra mile

2020-10-27 03:51:18 UTC  

You've got a bright future ahead of you. I know it

2020-10-27 03:52:16 UTC  

Thank you. I was working in a dental office, and preparing to train for an assistant position

2020-10-27 03:53:01 UTC  

That's a good field that pays very well

2020-10-27 03:53:17 UTC  

And there will always be demand for them

2020-10-27 03:53:36 UTC  

Indeed.. my grandmother is an assistant

2020-10-27 03:55:28 UTC  

I got laid off due to financial reasons, I’m still not sure if that’s the career I want to pursue or not..

2020-10-27 03:56:33 UTC  

Do whatever it is that makes you happy, but have something to fall back on

2020-10-27 03:58:22 UTC  

Tbh, I need something to do till then.. but my ultimate life goal is to be a mother.

2020-10-27 03:59:09 UTC  

You can get whatever you want, if you want it badly enough

2020-10-27 03:59:32 UTC  

Eventually 😂

2020-10-27 03:59:48 UTC  

All in due time

2020-10-27 04:00:09 UTC  

I'm only 23, I still got some time left. I got a long ways to go

2020-10-27 04:00:35 UTC  

True that

2020-10-27 04:02:26 UTC  

Heh. I'm getting the feeling that you're the type of person I could just talk to about whatever for hours on end

2020-10-27 04:03:17 UTC  

I’m getting the same feeling about you 😂 you seem very open.

2020-10-27 04:03:35 UTC  

I am a pretty open book, I'll give you that

2020-10-27 04:04:12 UTC  

And I'm a sucker for a good story

2020-10-27 04:04:42 UTC  

You’re not alone, there 😂

2020-10-27 04:05:43 UTC  

Nothin wrong with that, lol
