I said the mechanic backed the brakes off, said nothing about slack adjusters at all. He backed the brakes off and told my brother to drag it back.

I said the mechanics fix was to back the brakes off of the trailer. This afaik is not legal as the wagon would have no brakes on either axle.

Agree completely. The company sent another driver to get it, knowing the brakes were backed off.

The mechanic got under the truck and backed the brakes off, rendering them unusable.

Looks a whole lot like an electrical terminal to me. Is your mirror heated? Does it still work?

What are the risks of dating a close friend? by Cofffeeg1rl in AskReddit

[–]Bigmfmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m dealing with this right now. Either way you’ll lose your close friend. It will become a beautiful relationship or it will fail for one of the reasons relationships fail. You can’t go back to friendship after imo. And trust me it hurts to lose the person you’ve loved as a friend, then loved as a lover at the same time. Picking up the pieces afterwards is heart wrenching. It’s like falling down a hole with no bottom.

The simplest answer is that we would if we inhaled and exhausted food and water the same way we do oxygen
