The joy of being a business owner

[tmleadr03]

Last night I hit the button to close the shops garage door. Turned and went about the rest of what I needed to do to close the shop up. As Shannon and I are walking to the man door I notice something hanging down from my garage opener. The chain from the chain drive. Son of a bitch.

So here I am this morning. I have work in the shop to do, but I also have a car that was dropped off this morning before I got here to look at. Joy of joys.


Call is in to a garage door opener repair company. Waiting sucks. I am sure this is not going to hurt my CC balance much either.

Did they give you the typical "We'll have someone out between 8 and 4"? Sorry to hear- hopefully the rest of the month goes better and you get a lot of business...
Speaking of which, sorry to derail, but I've noticed that when I'm driving with no brakes applied below 20MPH in my '05 BMW 325xi, the left front axle squeaks... Did my former mechanic (laid off) not do too stellar of a job replacing my CV axle? Might need to make an appointment with you 1st of Nov.

I feel you. Our compressor went down a few months ago. Every machine in my shop except the pencil sharpener require air just to turn on. It was a mad scramble to get a loaner in here and then a $1,400 bill and a two week wait for the new unit.

Look on the bright side, at least you're the boss!

Housing coalition informed us one unit has some mold on the ceiling. Show up with some Zepp to clean it off. Nope. Entire ceiling needs replaced. Can't believe the guy didn't say anything! The floor of the unit above is likely getting replaced next time as well.

One of two things going on. 1) Pads are getting low and it is rubbing. 2) Backing plate is bent just a little.

If when it squeaks and you press the brakes does the noise go away you need a brake job. And if you just had a brake job, they went cheap on parts and you either have to suck it up till you wear through the pads and rotors again or get it redone.

The boss is a cranky asshole today.
