On second thought, I'll ask the kid if he's up for replacing your timing belt and shift cable, Irving. I'll find out tomorrow, he's interested in those kinds of side jobs.
Good night fellers.

Thanks. No immediate hurry on this, but as I make bonus money this summer/fall from work, this will develop.
Get a quote, save money do it all at one time. Why double up on some labor charges, trying to save money. You need a timing belt / chain. Replace water pump, thermostat, and other hard to get to items, while in there.Quote:

You guys make me feel like I don't know anything about cars... And relative to some of you chumps (especially Jim, OBC, Z) I really don't.
Sure is a good skill to have though. I need to get under the hood and under the cars more often and start figuring stuff out.
Always have spare parts. A tuesday OOPS can turn in to 2 week OOS replacement. Oil & filter changes, belts, bulbs, basic stuff everyone should know. Pulling an engine to do a starter, it's unnecessary for the layman, to have the tools and expertise for it.Quote:

Everyone here should be familiar with that phrase, after all, it's what hos hear the most! [ROFL1]Quote:

This is how we operate at our shop for the fleets. It's retarded to tale half the front of the motor apart to get to ONE pulley.... do all of them while you're in there, or you could get hosed for the same labor in a couple of months to do "another" pulley. It just makes sense and saves money in the big picture. We really do take care of our fleets with decisions like these, our customers trust us and we never sell anything that shouldn't be done. We also take care of some stuff for free, believe it or not.Quote:

That's okay, you make me feel like I don't know how to build a planter box like a brick shit house.. lol I'm sure you're doing fine in your own right, brother.Quote:

Don't even ask, yeah, I'd do her....lol. Ed seems alright, has the chance to be as cool as you guys, but that remains to be seen ...ha!
I plan to take some small tokens of friendship to all of the immediate homeowners, exchange some ph numbers for emergency type purposes and stuff like that.
You know, a bottle of wine or something similar.
Anyways, gonna be packing up more stuff each night and hauling it to work, then get out of work and run it to the new pad. Try and make a larger trip with the trailer again on saturday morning, and then wait for the furniture to be delivered.
I also hope to get a free satruday to get down to the renaissance festival for some steak on stake and butt tons of beers, before they close that down for the summer. Nice cleavage down there..
:D
The best gift ideas for that neighborhood. Condoms, KY sensual lube (don't wanna be hip deep in a hipster, without Plan B) , rechargeable batteries. Now for Katie, mmmmmmmm subscription to Spikes TV?Quote:

How's the republic treating you, this summer?Quote:

Okay, tell him not to hold his breath for now. I'll get with you/him when I am ready. I get a company car toward the end of the year and it will be easier to part with the truck at that time.Quote:

Damn, the thunder finally started. That first loud one right over the house, that you were not expecting and makes you duck, made me duck. [Tooth]
Some of the ones right over the house make it shake a little. [hammer]
Must be the same thunder we heard over hear a few hours ago. It was good stuff.
Moderate, I think that large black item floating down the yard is our smoker. Or the neighbors mastiff.Quote:

Duckfer maybe, but that ain't no dickfer. [emoji12]Quote:

What is everyone up to?
Anyone do anything cool this weekend?
We went to the Renniasance Festival on Saturday and had lots of fun with HB Jr. The "people watching" there is some of the best around. Totally worth the entry fee.
My favorite part of the Ren Fest is the guy who insults you while you throw tomatoes at him.
I missed his face by about 2 inches. Totally worth 5 bucks for 5 tomatoes. The insults he throws back at you are hilarious.
I don't remember seeing you.Quote:
