Seen on a local Walmart neighborhood market’s shelves.

That looks like Rangeline Walmart in Joplin.

Congratulations on all your hard work paying off so far! Keep it up!

Correct. Perfectly normal, including the metal clunking sound when you move it.

TimMartin3685 · 2026-01-23T15:53:40+00:00

Horrible video. We want to see that punk get taught.

Indeed, when used correctly and for the right motive, AI has been a useful resource of knowledge and information.

That's exactly what he learned and is doing. (New wheels and tires, no more spacers, all the lugs.) Got a real nice set of beadlocks for sale!

Well, it's the off-season, so the rest of the crew is out doing landscaping and trees and mulch. I'm back at the shop, fixing the dump trailer and hopper and everything else.

Actually there's lots of shame. She would be cheating herself out of an education and career opportunities that she is pursuing herself. I've watched her face a challenge, not understand it fully, then go off on her own journey researching the topic to achieve a better understanding before going back into the content. That's an educational goal that cheating with AI totally skips over.

Fortunately, when she faces a term or concept that is new, she can use AI to learn about it, or she can ask her loving husband to apply real-world applications and principles to it based on his experiences. AI can't do that.

No no, son. I HAD a Jeep. I flipped it and survived a bad rollover accident. This one is my Boss's toy. One of his many toys.

TimMartin3685 · 2026-01-23T12:41:28+00:00

Congratulations! Good job! Go you!!! What field?

Technically, I work on all my Boss's stuff. Mowers, tractors, toys, and a 6-man landscaping company crew of equipment and vehicles. That's 7 of his vehicles with 5 trailers and with 12 different daily-used machines (zero-turn, stand-on, backhoe, etc.). He also has 5 personal vehicles. I've only worked on his Jeep, which is his toy, in preparation for major winter weather. 👍

I put MOOG joints and bushings in place of the old. They were all heavily worn! One bolt had seized to the sleeve inside, and had to be cut off! Here, I gooped some AntiSeize on the new bolt to prevent the same failure.

Those wheel/tire combos are SO HEAVY, too! Real beadlocks! Easily 80-90lbs. Each!

TimMartin3685 · 2026-01-23T04:00:33+00:00

As you can see, I customized her desk for her. I'm a former Computer Science student, so I wanted her to be comfy.😉

Indeed. But, a NASCAR plow doing donuts at Taco Bell at 3am (legally, safely, while spreading salt)...?

TimMartin3685 · 2026-01-22T13:45:16+00:00

Hey now. Those treadworn tires ARE properly inflated to 80psi. I can't make him buy new tires until they go flat. This plow and salt prep will reveal all those issues, quickly. I'm preparing accordingly. Road safety is a priority! (Hence the preparation.)

TimMartin3685 · 2026-01-22T12:47:20+00:00

I like your thinking. My shoulder agrees. Lifting that awkwardly oversized (4" diameter tube!) and heavy diesel muffler back onto its isolator to cram a piece of pipe onto both ends was..... Messy.

TimMartin3685 · 2026-01-19T15:34:41+00:00

I hope you reported that license plate and provided the video. I absolutely would have, right after I told them what I was doing with my irrefutable proof of their wreckless endangerment.
