GraveYard Shift BS

Hear that, tgif.
kids don’t have daycare tomorrow so I’ll be starting my day at 7am won’t get to sleep until 1230-1 when they go down for naps.

 

I don't even know what I'm doing this weekend. I just know I won't be here.

 

Night shift till June, is this where I need to hang out now?

 

Everyone’s welcome as long as you can convince @gixxerphil to buy more shit that he doesn’t need.

 

Welcome.
The posts don't count and the rules don't matter.

 

Payday, sweet payday.

 

Bout time to pay rent, too.

 

Woot! No mortgage payment this month, just closed on our refinance and the first payment is due in October.

 

whats it mean if your tshirts are becoming to small? Im 6'2" and still am pulling off a large...

 

Means you need to eat some more cheeseburgers.

I did the large Tee thing in college (02-06) til when I first met my wife 11 years ago. Then slowly I stopped giving a fuck and wanted to be more comfortable. Xl/2x is the way to go now.

 

I'm buying maintenance shit now. The cb drop didn't fix the sound/vib, so I'll be at the shop 1st thing this morning. I'm done guessing.

 

I was looking at selling to carvana as a possibility to get out of my lease early and they’re getting stupid money for 3rd gen Tacoma’s... some 18-19 sr5s are listed for damn near 40k

 

So maybe dumb question. Today I tried replacing my bedside Trd decals and the adhesive residue was obnoxiously stubborn. Used goo gone for a while but didn’t seem to be getting anywhere. So I used rubbing alcohol and got it all off, which I’ve used on plenty of decals on my other vehicles.

Later I read somewhere here on TW that the alcohol can damage/soften clear coat. It looks fine but now it’s nagging at me. Do I have anything to worry about?

 

If it didn't damage it earlier while it was still liquid, I won't damage it now since it's all evaporated.

I'm actually quite surprised that rubbing alcohol would actually remove the decal adhesive. Most of today's off the shelf chemicals are so neutered, they don't do shit.

Are you sure you didn't read acetone could soften the clear coat?

 

should be fine but I’d throw some sealer/wax over it just in case.

 

No they said alcohol for sure. Wish I remembered where I read it here. Surprised me bc I never heard of that before.

And yeah. 91% alcohol has never let me down yet when everything else has. That was absolutely the worst adhesive I’ve ever dealt with though. And I used to own a small car lot so I’ve removed a lot of dealer stickers.

 

For sure.

 

You'll be fine. IPA is super common in car detailing.

Just starting it up. Got bumped to the day shift for the next dozen. Le sigh.
