I can't find my tool!
Where do I turn in times of need? Why to youse-all of course.
I was thinking it was about time for me to start fine tuning my incredibly powerful and high revving Reedie engines in order to get ready for yet another triumph in th upcoming Carolina 1/2A Crew's Reedie Race Extravaganza (and Tractor Pull). But alas, I can't find my .049/.051 conrod/socket/smashing tool. I found one for an .020 but it don't fit my Golden Bee/Black Widows very well. Kittingittogether doesn't list 'em. And now I'm not even sure it "was" a Cox item but maybe just from the aftermarket? Oh help me, help me my trusted ethernet conmrades? I know I can always count on youse.

Son of a gun!!! To paraphrase Jacky Gleason, "youse guys are the greatest!"
Tim, you make me feel humble - I owe you so much already!
Yes, I am humbled beyond even my renowned reputation for not blowing my own substantial horn. I, whose photo is beside the New Merriam Webster definition of modesty. I, whom youse-all think of as Mr. Meek. But now I say to you that I’m coming out of the closet! No more wimpy, namby-pamby Raymond Le-Flyer! I shan’t cower in the shadows anymore! I stand tall and shout to the screen in front of me, “I thank you!†(But just so you know, I’m still gonna try and whip your butt in the race. Hey, waddya expect, its still ME we’re dealing with here.)
CP, I just did a little "squirm" for you - but now my wife is giving me a funny look and shaking her head (like that's never happened before). Well, I know better than to try and explain. I hope you're satisfied.

RE: I can't find my tool!
Yes George, that's the look. My wife has been practicing it for four decades now and I haven't developed an antidote yet.
Does anyone know if there is an effective countermeasure or phrase that one can destroy the "enemy" with? I've tried, "yes, my dear" and "you're right again as always my sweet" but somehow I "don't get no sa-tis-fac-shun".

RE: I can't find my tool!
Youse guys must have more powerful 'winks' than I do - either that or I've worn mine out.
But all this 'wink' talk reminds me of one of my favorite Monty Python routines; "nudge, nudge, wink, wink, you're wife a goer huh, nudge, nudge, candid photos, wink, wink, say no more, say no more."
Actually, that rivals the fish dance and the marathon footrace for incontinents. Oh, the Norwegian Blue Parrot that's pining for the fiords. . . "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK. . ."
Oh stop, I can't type anymore my sides hurt and there are tears in my eyes.

PT, I personally know you can't drink till you wet you leg due to the severe case of hiccups that come first thus preventing any intake of oxyegen to allow self defication.[>:]
Spring Starter Blood!!? Paid in full! [sm=bananahead.gif]And witnessed with a small giggle by Raymond. Pit Chief Skully was much more sympathetic.

RE: I can't find my tool!
Tim,
Your package arrived yesterday. Thank you! Thank you! Now where did I put that five pound sledge?
One last question; olde tyme wisdom indicates that one should always lubricate both ends of the con rod before the first run. In fact Boca Bearings sells a fancy lubricant (read that, expensive) for the purpose. Anyway, my instinct is to use that or sewing machine oil on the ball joint before striking with the sledge (OK, the first light tap. Youse guys are SO picky). Here's the question, do youse-all tap dry or wet?
("Is that a Cox in your pocket..." Jeeze Louise.)
