Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Yes! May even use the Discount Tire CC, it is no interest for 6 months I believe.

 

What brand are you putting on it this time? How is your wife doing?

 

Yeah, @My Name is Rahl , expensive, going to go with a little different size 265/75/16 in the all terrain variety. The MT looked cool and all but extremely noisy as they wore and not as long lasting. I knew this would be of course but....

 

The wife had another CT scan so they can compare with the previous one. We're all a little nervous even though no signs of cancer in biopsies. She's doing ok and going about every day things, just sometimes feels a lack of energy. She's trying now to get some weight off, changing eating habits. Carrying a extra 30 pounds she doesn't need.
Thanks for asking.

 

Going with BFG, I also have used and had great luck with General Grabbers but the price difference is minimal now. Used to be 50 bucks or more cheaper per tire.

 

Near death experience, I don't recall any but, for sure there have been times where I drank too much alcohol and had no business behind the wheel of a vehicle. Lucky I didn't kill myself or someone else. I share that because I've been sober since about 1994, all those years but several years (6 or so?) back I started in again thinking it would be different but that ended up being 2 liters of Vodka a day on weekends. Yuck, I've always disliked vodka but it was cheap, and I thought easy to hide. March 2017 is my new stop day lol....shared this because of a few other fairly recent post here.

 

Good for you for quitting again. I quit once for 2 years around 2004-2005 and then bought a 12 pack thinking I could drink one or two and that turned into 8 or 9 then heavily again. That was around 2005ish and quit again for good December 8th, 2011. I had several near death experiences while drunk, thank God I'm still here.

 

That’s why you can’t recall. Musta died a 1000 times before you figured dyin’ ain’t much of a livin. Glad you’re seein’ today, Bros.

 

Nice visiting friends. I've got to get on the road in about 10 minutes.

I will be retired someday....

 

Apparently .0005” press is too much

 

Morning all



Near death experiences, hmm that's a rough one. Guess I can recall the time we got flipped over on the PA Turnpike back a couple years ago. We were stopped for an accident up ahead and a semi wasn't paying attention hit the car behind us which forced us up an embankment. Everything was in slow motion and life flashed before my eyes. The driver behind us was killed, but not on impact. I unfortunately got to see and hear the guy screaming trapped in the car. Died half way to the hospital by air. How we made it out ok is beyond me... Still have the picture of the crushed Lexus, but will not post that one, just our van.

 

WOW

 

Oh, forgot to mention the semi driver had two log books and a stash of alcohol in the cab of the truck. Me and the dude about got in a fist fight because he was arguing with me it was all our fault. State trooper had to almost pull me off of him He was back to driving a month later; musta had a good lawyer.

 

Broken reamer? Yes, I can do that too

 

Is that a bigger size than stock?

That's some bull! He should have gotten Vehicular Manslaughter!

 

The sudden ones I lost count of. Last one was just a little while back when a 4000kva transformer decided to let go. But the worse was the 3 month arm wrestle in & out of a coma battle Western Equine Encephalitis laid on me. They said the antidote only works once so next time it’s for keepers.

 

Your boss must have to budget in extra when you do small diameter jobs.

 

It's been a crazy week last week with small stuff then with this job today. I had to use a drill and drilled these holes out line to line fit and still bending pins. I don't get it. It's like my first day here or something.
