slngsht Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 A Mexican woodpecker and a Canadian woodpecker were in Mexico arguing about which place had the toughest trees. The Mexican woodpecker claimed Mexico had a tree that no woodpecker could peck. The Canadian woodpecker accepted his challenge and promptly pecked a hole in the tree with no problem. The Mexican woodpecker was amazed. The Canadian woodpecker then challenged the Mexican woodpecker to peck a tree in Canada that was absolutely 'im-peckable' (a term wood peckers like to use). The Mexican woodpecker expressed confidence that he could do it and accepted the challenge. The two flew to Canada where the Mexican woodpecker successfully pecked the so-called 'im-peckable' tree almost without breaking a sweat. Both woodpeckers were now terribly confused. How is it that the Canadian woodpecker was able to peck the Mexican tree, and the Mexican woodpecker was able to peck the Canadian tree, yet neither was able to peck the tree in their own country? After much woodpecker pondering, they both came to the same conclusion: Apparently, your pecker gets harder when you're away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pi7ot Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Having Murphy's Law interested in the project really tends to prolong things. I had spent the last year accumulating $3ks worth of parts to rebuild the engine in my E30 M3. This is my other track rat because the BMWCCA won't allow open cars (my Birkin) in their HPDE events. So in late may I start rebuilding the bottom end in my living room. Early june, I decided to buy some ARP Conrod bolts. Those arrived about a couple of days before the Cedar river decided to flush the sewers and proceed to flood the house up to the ceiling ( 9ft above ground). I lost most of my electronic tools, and am now still cleaning my hard tools and trying to repair my electric tools. I also lost some parts for a Megasquirt EFI conversion for the Birkin in the flood. ...And Summer is fleeing. :banghead: m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowss7 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 This one pecked a hole in the tree out back last year. Is this a Mexican or Canadian woodpecker? It sure was big and loud.
