Death Wobble Fluid Fix Released For Jeeps

[Redfour5]

Reminds me of sending new Marines to get frequency grease for the PRC's (Pricks for those in the know) or radios for civilians. Back in the day, (mid 70's), you fixed them by dropping them on the ground as your first effort, however, as a grunt/FO/etc., WE were NOT allowed to do that and had to take them to the radio shack...where you would hand it to the radio tech who would promptly drop it right in front of you and most of the time that would fix it...and he'd hand it back to you... Really, but never use the frequency grease. It was worthless.

Of course you cold always send them to admin a mile from our work area to fill out an ID10T form after they obtained the frequency grease.

I'm waiting for the stop start battery fluid.

I'm waiting for the stop start battery fluid.

And that is added right next to the blinker fluid reservoir.

Hmmmmm - a fix for loose fuses or electrical connection issues? Drop the Jeep off a 20 ft ledge?

On the radios, it makes sense that a drop could fix those.

Dropping a hard drive works when it won't spin up. I have fixed many that way.

Of course I strongly recommend having it's replacement ready to go and copy your data off of it right away.

"Stiction". I tried to drop 'em straight on an edge so as to reduce the R/W head smacking the platter.

You may remember the days of "parking" a hard drive before shutdown and moving it.

Indeed I do.

Is this like sending a guy for a bucket of steam? Or posting the new guy on mail bouy watch?

 

[cranbiz]

It's more like asking him to get a bucket of Prop Wash.

Send new Privates to the next unit over looking for 100' of Fallopian Tube was always a good cheap laugh.

Oh...God.
I got hired at the power plant during construction. So I watched how it was built. And being part of the original crew. I got to train the new guys who were hired after we went commercial. During construction, I went around and welded pipe nipples on the main up support beams in the main turbine building when no one was looking. After the construction crews left. I installed a small section of pipe and spigot valve to all the pipe nipples I welded on the beams. I would go around and fill them up with a water mixture. The new guys had to do "rounds" around the plant. Taking readings off of gauges and equipment and record everything by downloading it on a spread sheet which the ops manger looked at every day. There was a section on the "rounds" that read. "Turbine Building Main Support Beams Moisture Content". Under that, there was a listing for each beam, plus pH, conductivity, and sodium level for each beam. This went on for close to a year before someone question it at a meeting. Then the joke was out. The Ops manger had no clue on what this was on the daily reports, and never question it. No one knew who was filling up the pipe with water either. We would still catch some of the new guys later with it. When I retired from there. The pipes were still in place.
