Houston area (along with DB's not from Houston) BS thread

Lmao I hate y'all. I had to experience it myself. I've been doing this for like 3 years now and I still am blessed and love my job and life. But I know I am capable of better and can do better. Like the people I work with are just always so grumpy and pissed off at the world and blame everyone for everything and I'm just like nah. I'm not gonna be one of those guys. I'm better than that


So I got a text asking if I wanna goto Kentucky for 4-5 months this fall. Already got the start date if I for sure go which I will.

That job will help me so much to get out of the spot I'm currently in. I may still work at plants or similar but I'm gonna goto school again or do whatever I gotta do to move up next year.

 

Back to talking shit tho... does anyone in here ever get together anymore?

 

Vaseline is good for more than one or two things. Makes for a good seal too.

 

Never meet your heroes.

 

If they would let me do that, I would. But they won't even test you if you have a beard here. Sucks lol

 

Did you quit yet so you dont have to shave?

 

Fit test is on the 10th. That gives me a week to find a new job so I can drag up

 

For those who are making it to Jambo or a trip to SA, wanting to get something from @Biscuits but needing help with travels..could go to Jambo and handoff its way back to SA. If not will work out details after Jambo.

 

So, where'd DonutMan go? I figured he'd have to weigh in on vasolining the face.....

 

Got caught up yesterday. Master cylinder came in yesterday. I installed it. Rear wheel cylinder blew out as we were bleeding the brakes.
Let me just say, I hate doing drum brakes. I put off changing the rear shoes for so long. I could hear them rubbing. Lol well that was to late! Wheel cylinder blew out, no brake shoe left, brake shoe ate a groove into the drum, can't pull the drum off. Lol going to cut that shit today!

 

On top of that, my buddy that passed away, his mom is still trying to sue the shop for shit she thinks we have. Or better yet, for the stuff we already have her, but they were not in the condition for her to sell. To make money. So! Out of spite, I think I'm going to get my buddy wife to sue for the excursion this old lady took. Just because!

 

That definitely sucks. I remember seeing the same thing on one of my Dad's trucks a long time ago. The shoe had ground off about halfway across from grinding on the drum. Had to cut the retainers off from the back plate and pull the entire drum internals off with the drum.

 

Even more suckage! Too bad when someone's life gets equated to the "stuff" they have that the living tend to fight over. Messed up priorities......

 

Lol I knew better than to wait that long.

 

It's funny. No one wanted his stuff. We were just holding it for his son. And may be sell what he doesn't want and out it in his savings. My buddy mom is the one that wants everything. Remind you she is 70 plus. What is she going to do with her son race car? Lol I do want the excursion though, it's got that 7.3!

 

Something awful?

 

Awful?

 

...the english -> peruvian translator having problems with "awful" ?

 

Its mine!
