They put the yee-ha back in your storm drains:
State and local authorities today searched an east Houston company that builds engines and transmissions for evidence of alleged illegal dumping of hazardous waste.
The search of Thunderbolt Products involved members of the local environmental task force, which includes the Houston Police Department, Harris County Pollution Control, Harris County constables and Texas Parks and Wildlife, said Capt. Albert Lynch of Parks and Wildlife.
The company is suspected of dumping waste products, such as used oil and anti-freeze, directly into nearby storm drains, officials said.
“It (the waste) goes directly into the local bayous,” said Capt. Marvin Tamez, with Texas Parks and Wildlife’s environmental crimes unit.
Come on, everyone, sing along:
If your transmission’s got you down or your motor falls apart
That’s the time to come to Thunderbolt; you don’t need a brand new car!
We still believe in value and we pass it on to you
At Thunderbolt we fix it right and we guarantee it tooWe put the yee-ha back in your motor and transmission!

I hope that they and we all can refrain from doing this type of thing. We have enough probs. with Galveston Bay and the bayous.
Hopefully they will clean it up. Doesn’t mean the owners knew about it. Skeeter has recommended them for years for the quality of work they do. I’d venture some time or another most of us have done the same thing around out house before we were more environmentally conscious.
That reminds me….Roger Gray was a voice on their commercials at one time. I wonder if he’s still doing talk radio in the megalopolis of Lufkin, Texas??

I am sad to announce that Roger Gray is leaving KTBB (Tyler TX) effective Friday, Mar. 30. Roger is working on a new media opportunity that he will be announcing in the coming weeks….

The owners know they are required to train their personnel to follow the law.
It took me 20 years to get my grandfather to stop pouring his used motor oil on the fenceline.
And ST, I don’t want to know that you still do it
But Hamous, it kills the weeds.
Man that brings back memories. Thanks for polluting my brain with this song - I’m sure I’ll be singing it in my head for weeks to come.
They also put the yee-ha back into the ta-ta’s.
Kills termites, too. Had that T problem 20 years ago with the suckers building their tunnel tubes up the sides of my foundation. Took crankcase oil & pored the concrete perimeter. My reckoning they wouldn’t find the oily soil suitable for launching their assault proved correct. EPA, schme-PA. Results are results.
The Wallabie Balloon Fire….
So did the investigators actually find any evidence of malfeasance, or is this just another hit squad trying to stir up trouble?
#6 Hammie: Naw, I only use it for mangy dogs now.
Works on weeds in a gravel driveway, too.
#13 ST - That’s funny! My Godfather had this dog named Rocky. Rocky was supposed to be a German Shepard I think but he was the hairless variety and lived under the house. I went over to their house one day and my Godfather was hanging out the window with a rope waiting for Rocky to crawl out one of the entrances to his “lair” so he could catch him and give him a used motor oil bath to cure his mange. I don’t think it worked. I always teased him that Rocky was the SPCA Poster Dog.
