Who is it, @vssman maybe, that has the nice weather station?

 

Oh ..........ONE.

 

same over here. I had to bring my utility bill that shows address and name.

 

yes it is @vssman

 

Mount and balance snow tires.
Okkk.
Mount and balance and put the car out.
No problem.so I thought.
ASM comes up to me.
Cust is pissed.
I PUT THE TIRES ON WRONG.
Walk out and he is standing next to his car.
Says you know what directional tires are ?
I say yeup. New about them before you.
And he says “well you put these on backwards”.
How do you figure I did?
See these arrows, they are pointing towards the rear of the car.
I started laughing..
I took the keys and moved the car 2 1/2 feet.
Look at the arrows now SIR....
Wow they are facing FORWARD. And it says direction of rotation.
He had this blank expression on his face...

No apology. No nothing.
As I was walking away I said “Some of us actually do read”....
I’ll be waiting for a call from the waaaambulance.
Fuckin Morons..

 

That is bad, even by my standards.


If he gets a flat, is it only on one side of the tire?

 

You Sir never fail to amaze me.....

And you wonder why I now that my "Office" is a truck cab.... no more blithering idiots crying at me

 

back to work for 2 days. then off for another 5. evening all

 

I actually had one girl ask if she needed Two spares because of the different rotations.
I actually thought it was a good question and said for a spare any tire the correct size would work.

 

Thank you Sir

 

Ehhh, six of one, half dozen of the other... West Haven - yup, was my ol' stomping grounds in college. I'll keep junior in check.

I have a Ambient weather station WS-1001-WIFI. Uploads to weather underground without any additional modules. iPad has WunderStation app that displays all of the data so I don't have to lift my fat a$$ from the recliner.

 

Took today off. My favorite day of the year. Christmas is over and time to relax. I went out and played with the truck a bit.

Installed the Tech Deck extreme duty


2 Ram balls


And the arm extension with X mount for phone



I ordered the X mount for the Magellan TXR7 Christie gave me for Christmas so when it comes in I can get it mounted. I have alot to learn about the GPS it does regular driving and off road trails as well.

 

Evening Everyone !!!!

Hope Everyone had an awesome Christmas!!

Just got home from my Brothers home in Huntington Beach and glad I'm back home . Yesterday I left to head down the hill at 0830hrs and just missed being in a 55 car pileup at the top of the Cajon pass . It was snowing and then t storm dumped hail all over the top of the pass going both directions which froze the road and cars spun out all over the NB lanes and some cars ended up in the SB lanes blocking traffic

Even before I got to the top of the Cajon pass on the SB side I was sliding around just trying to stay in my lane . By the time I was able to get passed the accident scene and head down the pass I could still see cars sliding around including my self

When I got to the middle of the pass CHP was rerouting NB traffic onto hwy 138 . That traffic was stopped and was backed up to the 210fwy 25 miles away

Finally got to my Brothers place about 1130hrs and had fun . Later we enjoyed the big meal prepared by my SIL who's a Culinary Chef . She even showed off by Sabering a bottle of champagne .Later we got to watch our favorite movie which National lampoon's Christmas Vacation

About 2000hrs I was just about to leave to head home when a friend of mine called to inform me of 15car accident on the Cajon pass at the summit in the NB lanes . So after that stayed the night and enjoyed a nice Breakfast

I left his place at 1245hrs and the traffic was light until I got to the 210/15fwy interchange .I've already been on the road 55 min and traffic was backed up from the 210/15fwy all the way up the Cajon pass 35miles . It took me 2 hrs to climb the pass which normally take half hour

This time I was caught up in the NB traffic headed to Vegas . I'm so happy I'm home now , the traffic sucked !!!!!

 

This is accident footage of the massive pileup on NB 15 top of the Cajon pass

That would bug the crap out of me being around the shifter..
