    More shit then I ever planned on doing
    Yeah it was from the workers.
    I’m there at 4:30am sharp every morning when the door unlock.

    Depending on who’s working I usually help the little petite girls carry out the chairs and tables. Can’t just stand there and watch them struggle with the tables that weigh as much as they do.

    I admit I had somewhat forgotten about H&G for a while as my taste in music shifted away from industrial, but I was happy to see that they’ve still been releasing albums. Uber Alles will always be my favorite though.

    I have been a victim of road rage myself on more then one occasion. Thankfully never shot at, but it has been a growing trend the last few yrs.
    Been run off the road a few times and always avoided accidents except one. the guy just whipped right into me. like demolition style. then claimed I had road rage. thankfully a witness behind us stopped and gave a statement. And that guy didn't have a gun. all I did was change lanes in front of him in busy stop and go traffic apparently he didn't like that I got in front of him, I then got into the left lane, for the next block he keep throwing his hand up and swerving toward me as we are side by side now doing 40mph. I had one more block until I was making my left and was just ignoring him. then bam he swerved right into me. I hit the brakes to try and avoid him but we were side by side. he smashed the front fender on mine and his back quarter panel on his. since then Im more defensive when it comes to road rage. I just back off, or let then go, if possible. not worth the hassle. still to this day I don't understand his problem. what's the hurry the next red light.

    Sometimes people are just dicks, or morons, but sometimes they are literally raging and you have to watch out for that. No matter how far you are willing to go in this fight (wife calls them car fights) they are always going to take it further because they aren’t thinking rationally any more. Might sound strange but the best thing you can do is attempt to remove yourself from the situation and let them rage on someone else.

    Damn! I have been the opposite. I've actually pushed back on two occasions. Major oops when insurance gets looking at it. Lucky for me I now have a co driver that yes at me all the time. And if I real screw up she won't make me dinner ether.

    For my LED back up lights mounted on my camper shell roof rack I have an on/off/on switch that uses two separate power sources.
    I can have the lights off all the time. Or I can have them on with the reverse lights or I can have them on whenever I want.

    They have amber covers so I can use them as dust lights.

    I think this pretty much covers all the bases.

    Read that a few times and I don’t see any mention of strobe light :notsure:


    How are the ladies going to dance without strobe lighting?

    That’s a good idea!

    I could have a strobe setting where all the lights strobe. Except the HID’s. I’ve heard they don’t like that.

    That person is just mad at the world. Obviously not short on time since he went out of his way to get delayed for 2 hours talking to cops.

    I like spicy too but damn, you’re crazy. I’ve had habanero and one hotter than a habanero but never ventured beyond that. Also never been a fan of the strange taste of habaneros. Too smoky? Idk, not sure how to describe it.

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Not arguing, just not understanding how preload spacers limit travel. Yes, they stiffen the spring which creates more resistance to uptravel, but it looks like everything can still cycle through its full range of motion. Just not wrapping my head around it....
