Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 06, 2021

Not in MY house! Not like THAT!

I guess that his computer keyboard will end up well lubricated.

Ask Siri, or Alexa on your phone Arlo.

Why does he need a cap?

I quit repairing my own car many years past. After spending many valuable 1960’s dollars replacing various parts to try and fix my British car’s unpredictable electrical system, a mechanic who knew what he was doing found a short in a wire in the distributer, and fixed it with an inch or two of electrical tape, adding – “you might want to replace that wire”. I was mortified.

Guys don’t get bent out of shape over a little dirt.

Arlo doesn’t realize the internet can come to him? Love panel two with the leap Janis did and the red shoes with that outfit.

Never interrupt a sleepwalker, Janis.

Arlo is Janis’ personal superfund site.

ARLO, NO!!!

She thought he was headed for the dishwasher.

Time for Saran Wrap on the keyboard…

What, no cheerleader outfit?

And the bad part is that he really needs the information he’s looking up before he can finish his work on the car, mess or no mess. Been there, done that.

The “whoa” and the “jump” were perfect. I’ve been on the giving and receiving end of those. Very accurate. He’s blithely in the moment, oblivious to all.

1964 Triumph Spitfire was running rough until mechanic peaked under the hood and saw sparks gaping between the distributor wires. No more cars with Lucas electrical systems.

Isn’t that what the camera on your phone is for? And if you don’t want to dirty your phone, WHY are you dirtying anything else?

You have taken me back to 1969 and my Triumph Spitfire. It was the best of cars, it was the worst of cars.

Well look how agile Janis is?

read the recipe before starting to cook. Guess that works for car repair, too

I see Lava in Arlo’s future (with pumice!) ☺

Many years ago I was running a small gravel pit in Alabama. One day one of the guys came in complaining about his wife. I asked what was going on? He said, “Well you know how I’m rebuilding the engine on my car? I’m ready to start assembly so I needed to clean the parts before I put them back in.” I said, “Bobby Joe, what did you do?” Bobby Joe told me, “So I put them in the dishwasher. Now the wife wants me to buy her a new dishwasher!!” I told him, “Bobby Joe, buy her a new dishwasher, you are going to do it eventually and this way you will save yourself weeks of pure hell.” “Next time bring the parts here, and after work you can use the parts washer in the shop.” “Women can be picky about having a dirty crank, rods and pistons cleaned in their dishwashers.”

How do I get grease of a keyboard ?

Alexa, what the hell is this thing???

Nice vault there, Janis, although I totally GET why you’d want to stop Arlo from tracking anything further in!

no one impressed on how Janis bounds over the couch? must be my age.

No you’re not!!!

Someone’s going to get a new car.

When I was in high school my best friend owned a 1957 Chevy. We tuned it several times a year using tools from his father’s work Bench.Time marched on…a cousin did tune up & sundry work on modern cars. Going into his work space….I felt I was in the Engineering Department of the Starship Enterprise.

Giving you a 10 for your great jump Janis!

And speaking of small cars; In ‘63 I once went out with a guy who had a Morris Miner. (I think that was what is was.) I had never seen a car that small before and I made the mistake of commenting on things I shouldn’t have. Full sized things in a small sized car, seats,windows. I wasn’t trying to be mean I thought the car was adorable. Needless to say, he never asked me out again.

That gal can get up an move when motivated!

Um…NO!!

Nice to see someone still knows how to spell “whoa” correctly.

Great move off the couch. Janis is still frisky.
