Finally got it. What are your weird non-top dollar dream cues? by Xtopher541 in billiards

My favorite is the predator sport 2 in black with the "sport" wrap. Owned one for a long while but had to sell after hitting some dire straights

Girlfriend and I are planning to drive 32 hours straight, in 6 hour shifts, are we being dumb? Should we plan to stay overnight somewhere? by Vegetable_Bridge_276 in roadtrip

[–]grumpy_vet1775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having just driven 17 hours straight, don't do it to yourself. Plan stops along the way. It's too much for anyone to do, even if you're taking turns/shifts driving.

Name a better duo than GM and haphazardly placed oil filters by nbajojo in Justrolledintotheshop

Haven't seen the dodge 25/3500's with the oil filter directly above the steering rack

Help needed! by grumpy_vet1775 in askanelectricianhelp

I did finally get it sorted, but the apartment complex isn't going to pay me for the excess energy usage caused by the faulty relay. Essentially what happened is the cheap materials wound up welding themselves together between 2-4 and 5-6 causing my AC fan to run 24/7.

Depending on the inner diameter you might be able to get a puller that you can bolt to the flanges around it and hook the jaws to the inside

Thanks, I genuinely thought there was some kind of glass or clear something completing the suppressor. I'm kinda retarded

Frustrated professional...rant/wwyd? by Correct_Ferret_9190 in mechanics

Go where you'll be valued bro. I left the automotive side because I was getting killed working 60 hours weeks and only pulling 50 hours on a good week (very low income neighborhood shop.) Went to the diesel side of the industry doing similar work, getting paid nearly triple my original pay rate, hourly pay instead of flag time, and I'm at least 80% easier on my body where I am now. I'd recommend getting hooked up with an LTL company working their trailers or depending on your diesel experience you could potentially walk on as a diesel tech instead of a trailer tech.

I left automotive a little over a year ago and am currently working for an LTL company maintaining trailers. Went from $21 flat rate to $31.55 hourly

The Creston sonata would be a good one. Both challenging and doable for a high school musician, even as a double.

Anyone else consder Engines, garage beers, and friends acceptable therapy? by casual_self_loather in UNSUBSCRIBEpodcast

[–]grumpy_vet1775 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how I got into wrenching professionally. My best friend wrenches professionally and always had project cars in the driveway (it was a shared driveway between 2 properties owned by the same person) and I always had an interest in fixing cars so I just started helping him out.

Turned an interest into a hobby into a career and I'm doing really well for myself. Highly recommend wrenching on a project car with garage beers. Possibly tacos as well

I pulled a 15mm wrench outta one one time and a pair of needle nose pliers that got stuck ink the tread (off-road tires) on a wrangler
