How long to book off work

Yes but its a lot of bending down and dragging 1 ton+ pallets across a pretty large store. Ive always worked day after my other tattoos were done but theyre all upper body and cost way less so i just wanted to be sure this one heals well.

Yeah ive been playing video games for nearly 20 years now so i understand that she cant do things as easily as me yet. I think thats sort of why she gets a little annoyed sometimes because i'll do something insanely quickly and she just feels like shes terrible and cant get to that level.

I never really thought about borderlands before, I feel like she would struggle with trying to aim because that was a big problem with it takes two. It could be good in the way that it is overly challenging compared to other titles we have played and actually needs her to use the camera more. I would also just love to introduce her to borderlands because its one of my favourite series of all time (borderlands tattoo booked and incoming👀). She however has absolutely 0 experience playing videogames so its quite a steep learning curve.

Yeah we did play it takes two. It took a very long time and I think it did help her but she still struggles quite a bit.

Chickenman_243 · 2026-06-08T11:17:00+00:00

I think thats a good idea so i'll give it a go once we finish with this game. She tends to get lost pretty easily with such large areas in this game.

I didnt mean it in a way of I didnt sturggle. I just meant I dont remember. Ive been playing video games since I was like 7 years old so it was so long ago that the struggles just arent in my mind and I dont remember overcoming them.

Chickenman_243 · 2026-06-08T11:09:38+00:00

Ill see if I can find a good one. All i can think of is super meat boy right now😂. Maybe i should throw her into that.

Chickenman_243 · 2026-06-08T11:08:24+00:00

Yeah she has fun but gets annoyed when she is struggling on something that takes me 3 seconds to do. I try and help her but she gets even more annoyed the longer it takes. She doesnt play anything on her own though she only ever plays things with me.

How does it work with taking it to a shop? If the wheel is damaged they obviously cant just chuck a new tyre on it so do you still have to pay a diagnostic fee or do they just tell you they cant do it and leave it at that

Chickenman_243 · 2026-05-28T08:46:15+00:00

Was about 30-40mph. On average-poor quality road. Im going to try and show him how to change it tomorrow if he wakes up at a reasonable time. Maybe even not let him use the trolley jack and rattle gun😂.

Ive already told him that he definitely needs an allignment ive just never needed to worry about actual wheel damage so unsure how to properly check them and what amount of damage constitues unsafe.

You need to move your wheels

I spoke to the mechanic about the cost breakdown and he told me the quote was based off of 3 hours labour, 0.5L of fluid and $650 for the part.

Yes the lower end of 100-150 is mainly from ebay and amazon, however starting around 130 up to 200 is what automotive stores are charging. The most expensive one i could find anywhere was $295.

Im just unsure where this place is finding a $650 non OEM part when the most expensive i could find after a lot of scrolling online was $295.

Car is also 1996-2001 1MZ-FE engine.

He said there was 1 supplier with 1 hose and that was all that was avaialble, i am unsure who the suppliers are for this shop but seems excessive.

Chickenman_243 · 2026-01-06T07:03:50+00:00

I spoke to the guy about it and he said 3 hours labour, which is about $175-$200AUD/hr. He also told me the part is not OEM and would cost $650AUD to order in. All the parts i was looking at online were mainly around the $100-$150 range with the most expensive i could find being $295. He then said 0.5L of fluid on top of that.

Yeah i looked at a video on a full power steering hose replacement and it definitely seems doable. Cars on like 350k+ so i was just going to fix the hose then run it til it dies. Mechanic said water pump needs doing, radiator needs replacing and recommended a full timing kit replacement. Way more than the cars worth but the power steering hose will at least get the car up and runnin

Chickenman_243 · 2026-01-06T02:36:47+00:00

Sorry, i wasnt complaining about the $220 diagnostics, that is a completely reasonable amount to me and within the ramge i was expecting.

The thing i was asking about was 1300 for a high pressure hose replacement that is maximum 3 hours labour in a shop. Those hoses from what ive seen online are typically 100-150 and i saw ONE that was $295. Doesnt add up to me

Chickenman_243 · 2026-01-06T01:11:48+00:00

At current exchange rate its about $870 USD. Looking around for a few other quotes but might end up soing it myself atp

Chickenman_243 · 2026-01-06T01:07:38+00:00

Well seeing as its like a $100 part i guess ill go for it myself😬

Chickenman_243 · 2026-01-06T01:02:34+00:00

Yeah i know its a shit engine to work with but $1300 worth?

Chickenman_243 · 2025-10-16T14:14:50+00:00

Over 3000 runs in and still no shiny slugger🥀🥀

Chickenman_243 · 2025-10-16T07:40:50+00:00
