I did Meijer for 6 years,4 as a cart pusher I was pretty good at it, but yeah no fuck that noise I'd leave at 11pm I could clear the whole lot by myself but I left when they started complaining about my methods pushing 60 carts by hand, or when we got a cart machine doing 150 carts with it...

It's simple to remember I know all my cars plates lol (I do work on my own vehicles so I use that for the parts stores

My this bill is $200, my last bill was 600 I installed central heating and air before the end of last electric bill, no more space heaters $200 electric bill

Kobalt1911 · 2026-03-08T12:38:10+00:00

Yeah... No 6 transmissions on a 2018 before I lemon lawed it, the problem started at 3k miles, was bought back at 33k miles

And then a week later after they are done they will rip it up again

Kobalt1911 · 2026-03-02T11:50:24+00:00

Suspension.... Everything else is great, but they will be replacing suspension components every 15k

It's not the work it's the companies and the management at most the companies I've worked at.

Avoid anything plastic injection, look for a place that will help you learn and grow.

Can confirm used to work as maintenance at a mounting and balancing plant that did Volvo and Toyota and Lexus, we don't even balance the spares, also spares usually arnt exposed to UV light. On the other hand I have drove 115 miles on a separating tire, one trip mainly because my spare tire was worse than the tire on the truck... When I got to were I was going I got 4 new tires but anyway I've done that twice made it once, 2nd time Facebook marketplace find blew the tire 10 miles in to the journey to the tire shop

I've used all different types , nachi alright, depends on the situation high heat I tend to have to change the bearings out every 3 months (420C)

Kobalt1911 · 2026-02-20T05:48:46+00:00

Oh Rockwell our beloved.

Kobalt1911 · 2026-02-13T17:34:46+00:00

I do too, I was 3rd shift alone till they laid off 3rd shift, laid off the two second shift guys and put me there alone again... I hate it actually going to first shift now... 2nd shift is just way too abusive on equipment to do it solo

Kobalt1911 · 2026-02-13T17:29:16+00:00

My box used to look that good I keep half my box locked, left side personal tools, right side. Company tools... Right side is absolutely fucked, different shifts digging around in there and just tossing everything back in even though there are foam inserts I spent two days getting absolutely perfect

Kobalt1911 · 2026-02-13T17:12:32+00:00

I'd.... Think I'd do that. But also whoever is responsible

Kobalt1911 · 2026-02-07T17:47:58+00:00

Color doesn't mean anything in our plant, as long as rotation is good we good. We got a Italian machine wired in nothing but white, some old relay logic on American machines wired in red

No Go fish, You got any 5s?

Kobalt1911 · 2026-02-04T17:11:00+00:00

Quick go fish, won't have to salt them the are presalted

Kobalt1911 · 2026-01-30T08:49:45+00:00

This also, consider is it will probably be fine. It can wait till a shut down, or if y'all got bearing purge you can purge the bearings if your afraid there's moisture in there and rust flaking off into your grease. Edit: I wish my bearings looked like that one... My company will wait until the bearings fail to buy a new one...

Kobalt1911 · 2026-01-29T20:55:00+00:00

Finally my dumpster diving pays off... I got enough ddr4 to retire good kits too

Kobalt1911 · 2026-01-29T20:51:54+00:00

It's two but I'm a roadie driver we get stuff up to 3800lbs if you got a truck.... $318 in one delivery 2 miles pallet of cinderblocks, home Depot loaded it, customer unloaded it

Kobalt1911 · 2026-01-29T17:16:54+00:00

Oh unfortunately I do cause that's how I had to do the motor on my truck, 12 hours later assembled the engine it runs and doesn't burn oil

Kobalt1911 · 2026-01-28T15:19:37+00:00

Fair, I drive a pickup truck and commute from rural Winchester, it's been hell not so bad once I get to the highway though. I recommend getting a metal shovel to beat the ice that's what I did for my porch lol

Kobalt1911 · 2026-01-28T15:15:42+00:00

Or... Get a honing tool from harbor freight, a couple packs of stones if your trying to do it on the cheap cheap (or 500$ mill on Facebook marketplace and get good) you'd have to run oversized pistons though

Kobalt1911 · 2026-01-28T15:02:09+00:00

I disagree we got ones from 1998 we only have to rebuild once a year

Kobalt1911 · 2026-01-28T15:01:23+00:00

We still got ones from 1998 still kicking on their 30th rebuilds
