AMANDERING

someone aimlessly pottering around past bedtime, making unnecessary noise and not getting anything useful done in the process. often an attempt to make a snack and getting sidetracked thinking they can clean up a little while they are at it. before they know it, 90 minutes has past and they still haven't made a snack or tidied up.

John's been waiting for his wife to come to bed for 90 minutes, I bet she's in the kitchen Amandering again. He may as well go to sleep before the sun comes up and she's still not finished mucking around.

twistability

using wire instead of a zip tie or cable tie where strength is needed.

I'm going to use fencing wire to tie the mudguard on the Holey Goat, It's twistability makes it more suitable than a zip tie in this application. the more you twist it, the tighter it gets (just before it snaps)

lightning whirler

otherwise known as a Distributor on a car engine, makes the spark go to the sparkolators.

Derek from Vice Grip Garage has alternative names for various tools and parts, and they make more sense than the correct name

i'll need to take the cap off the lightning whirler to clean the points. rats have chewed a few of the lightning hoses also.

unfinished project

usually a car that was pulled apart to restore, all good intentions without either the skill, motivation, money or time to finish.

usually bought in reasonable condition and then sold as a parts lot with no chance of being finished.

Hey Bob, i'm buying an unfinished project.. it was your old daily driver.. now in 1000 pieces and totally stuffed.

Bob replies, that kid said he was going to restore it, then i heard he cut the floor for air bags and an LS conversion
