Burken Boys’ and Girl’s Journey

[Rocket Man]

Hehe. I don't think she's been around since.

I still think the smell of burnt tranny fluid ( if we’re still allowed to say that ) is the worse. Gear oil is a close second.

TRIGGER!!! I HEARD THAT!! TRIGGER!!!

 

[Joseph Garcia]

Well, today was oil change day for Joseph’s truck.

What's with the gloves?? Your sons need to skin some knuckles and slice some fingers, as the resulting scars are part of the overall truck/auto maintenance and repair learning experience.

Seriously, it is GREAT to see you providing these invaluable life skills to your sons.

Thank you.

Gloves are nitrile - No protection from making the obligatory blood sacrifice to the automotive gods.

Once they skin up a bunch of knuckles and forearms and then wash with laundry detergent to get degreased they will be one step closer to manhood.

It stings because it's working...

Oh - They have been there.

We usually use a slurry made up of Dawn dish soap and granulated sugar to clean up. The Dawn breaks up the grease and the sugar granules are a great scouring agent that doesn't sting. Learned that from an old timer at my first job about 22 years ago. Stuff works great.

Even leaves your hands nice and soft in case you need to perform some hands-on activities later that night.

I've never heard of these degreasing methods before. When I was younger and at home I'd use Goop(Father had it) or I'd use dish detergent.

Ah! GOOP! That gelatinous white stuff with magical properties. Used many a tub of that stuff growing up.

Seriously, try the sugar/dish soap slurry next time. Gotta plan ahead or ask for help from your mate so you don’t get grease all over your baking supplies.

Who/what/when/where/why and it wasn't my fault right??
