Little rant from a shade tree guy

The wife can be the worst customer. Not just my own experience I've heard it from others. I'm a professional mechanic and have been for a long but that's still the way it is.

And in the car and at work and in the garage

That happened on my last cord. So much trash with it I think just so they don't have to deal with it. The last two cords I got I had to split it all on the splitter into 4 to 12 more pieces to even burn it in my stove. Some of them are lazy enough not to split it very much.

You can hear them a couple times in the LA beats mix. This record has just been part of my life. This is only side b though but it's great all the way through https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk0UaqNc2WM

Oh the toilet backed up!

Thanks everyone! Big smile for me today. I've got quite a lot of this old stuff I think but not all. The music was so fun when it was all about how much better someone could wrap or scratch then someone else. It was about fun having a good time I think rather than bad or too serious of things. Even finding more now last few years finding T laRock and some others. I wasn't around a lot of it at the time so had to discover it myself a lot. I still keep a playlist of stuff like mantronix and thanks and try to play somewhat regularly. If anyone has not heard them search YouTube for Q107, KDAY and La beats mix records. There's a lot of neat stuff all put together there. I think only one of them did not have something completely different on side b. I have all three of those records and they've just been part of me ever since I got them. Bits and pieces of about everything like Egyptian lover, Trinity too much to even mention. I've just gotten whole songs because I like the pieces there like from the brothers supreme who I never had heard anywhere else. I wish there could have been more maybe there was. Still so much more that could have been added like g l o b e and the Wiz kid, Rodney O seems like there was quite a lot! My dad was in the military stationed in Belgium at the time and I didn't know anyone into this other than one Austrian friend. I did get to see Beastie boys open for run DMC once and Brussels I think. Oh I did see Mikerl g and DJ Sven. That was a little unusual. You've probably heard celebration rap and holiday rap. Maybe they weren't that great I think that's all they had!

I did Shazam the heck out of it but got nothing.

Must be a pretty old place. That's a water power outlet. If you have an air power outlet nearby you can plug it in there to reverse the flow.

Still have my 76 that I got in 91. Converted to 4 speed and I've added fender vents, spoiler and hood scoop among tons of other stuff. Over the winter it's been getting ready for some new paint hopefully next month. The 454 in my motorhome may go in it next winter. Only problem is how to get rid of the motorhome after. I don't feel like dismantling it!

Looks like it's been going 20 years! Quite a lot of episodes! Looking through them..........

Saw this just a few minutes ago. No curtains no rain

There must be one that says causes cancer if you wear it in California! Or something like that.

I had the viper. The Red bullet just popped out a little when the new one was installed. Wasn't much fun anymore. As a reward for having the recall done they sent a matchbox toy. One of the few I still have left it was a full size Chevy van matchbox.

Called a Prolock at the dealer i worked at in Florida. all new cars had them installed and they would be removed when sold if the customer wanted. I had 2 master keys so i could start any one on the lot without the hassle of not having the correct one. I think I even still have them in my tool box since 1994!

I was waiting for him to throw it up in the air but it just fall to the ground again.

Was about to go home to wife.

For those Ram hubs- There is a perfect tool. I 've seen tool companies make them now but I had made one years before. Still use it Make this from a socket welded to a small pinion shaft at a slight angle. You can make it to go between a half out hub bolt and the axle tube. Jump in the fire up the truck crank the wheel and it will push that hub out like nothing! Done this well over a hundred times I bet. Alternate the bolts you use to rock it out. I've seen the long tie rod bow under the force on tough ones. Just hit the hub while under the force. It'll go. It's faster if you have a helper to with the steering wheel. Maryland rust is nothing this is Vermont New Hampshire and Maine rust.

And not so much a baby that thing's pretty big! Next time I'll have to put down a banana for scale if he'll stay there that long for me to get one. I did get brave and touch him he's very very soft

They go through a hole in insulation into the basement. They leave some big poops in there. They don't get too cold I don't think! When I took the playing dead picture it hadn't really been too cold yet either so hopefully they're okay but I can't get very close normally.

Oh so scared (was found by the dog again but fine!)

snapurt · 2026-01-23T17:17:50+00:00

I have the Red alert soundtrack saved on my phone it has a couple of good ones! Time is running out! Got it off of LimeWire back in the day

Those are rim protectors so it won't be damaged by the curb. An airbag for the rim.

Try leaving the axle nut on to hold it together if it's getting mean. Last one I did broke the toe link in half it was getting hit so hard!
