1972mc Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 My hard luck story at the EM paled in comparison to Eli's -but I was the #1 contender for a while. Anyway, my power steering pulley started to wobble, making it and the pump non-servicable. Luckily this occurred at the end of the 470 mile trip to the EM. Ordered a pump at Advance Auto but the pulleys are not usually bad and it was not available. Rick had just changed to March pulleys and living about 5 minutes from The Kalahari Hotel, he went home, found his old pulley degreased it, painted it black and brought it back on Friday morning in time for me, Mike, Mike and Dave to get it back on in time to go racing Friday nite. Thanks a million Rick for going the extra mile to help out a fellow member. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Eckenfels Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I don't know about "RICK ROCKS," JoAnn might say Rick has rocks in his head. Anyway, you are very welcome Carl. Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 RICK ROCKS! Dave Dave, if it is Monte's Rock shouldn't it be Rick's Rock?... Now we are going to have to have a T-Shirt made up that says Rick Rocks to go with our Monte's Rock. rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mau Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Rob. Yeah, the confusion of the English language! To answer your question; "Rick" is singular, so he 'rocks', but for "Montes Rock!" (correct without an apostrophe), can mean that any Monte (singular) or any number of them (plural) does 'rock'. Adding an apostrophe in the word "Montes" between the "e" and "s" changes the statement to mean a rock that belongs to a Monte (posessive), or shortens it from what would otherwise be "Monte is rock!" (where the apostrophe replaces the "i" in the word "is"). To say "Rick's Rock" (with an apostrophe between the "k" and "s" in "Rick's") refers to a rock that is owned by Rick. Regarding a "Rick Rocks!" t-shirt; how would Rick look as a charicature ('tooned)? Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaCoop60 Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thanks for the grammar lesson Dave. BTW, you did very well explaining it...you can come to my classroom anytime. They sleep when I try to explain that stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Mau Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Thanks, guys. Nope - not a grammar teacher. My dad probably could've been one, though, and I recall "acing" my 7th grade grammar class. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
