Passover Fact 1

Passover Fact 1, originally uploaded by mistersnappy. To ease the annual discomfort that is the Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach to the initiated, I aim to post a single Passover fact each day for your viewing a reading pleasure.

Every tube in the box was the same…

Out with the old…

Out with the old, originally uploaded by mistersnappy. I’ve visited my local Sherbet Fountain supplier to find that they are one tube short of finishing their supply of old skool Sherbet Fountains, so I took the opporunity to purchase one of each to compare and contrast the experiences.

Who took the passion out of mechanics?

Let me preface this by saying that in no way am I, or have I ever been a grease monkey. I just don’t have the aptitude for it. I can swap out parts and work under close supervision but that is the extent of my adventures into car mechanics. Having said that I absolutely understand…
