For a good reason that you outlined below.






Wow, he's not just a proselytizing prick of a Jesus Freak, but

homeless trailer trash, too? Never have my filters fit so well.





I live alone in a 1974 Fairmont, which is cram full of what most


folks consider clutter. With about enough floor space to walk. The


oilless compressor I was given would have been a HUGE step forward


for me, and may be a big step some day if it's ever working. I type


on a PC that's over five years old, don't own a laptop that works


worth a hoot (I was given one which weighs about 20 pounds and can


handle win 98 at maximum, and has 5.7 GB drive). My two vehicles are


both over 200k miles, and are 1995 and 1998 models. I'm blessed for


what I have, and can't afford anything newer or better. If I knocked


over a compressor and broke con rod, I'd really be in a tough


spot. I have great respect for a man who asks in public (like this)


for ideas how to use it up, make it do, fix it up, or do without. My


respect for Snag and for Gunner is going up at present.




He'd better be looking waaaay up when he does that.





As for Snag's story, **** happens and anyone who does a lot of work,


is bound to have minor mishaps. As for doing repairs, fixing those


broken pumps definitely is not economically sensible.




Truth!
