    I had a similar issue with my SPC and Firestone refusing to attempt alignment due to the play in the ball joint. I had previously purchased a pair from AutoZone... Lifetime warranty... Still a pain in the neck to replace and realign after minimal mileage. Speaking of which I should probably order another pair for spares

    But now I have a spare set of arms. I'm having issue with the new six axis bushings too.

    It's very realistic and looks almost exactly like the UFOs I've seen but there's one small problem.

    If you zoom in and look really close, you can see wires coming down from it and going to a giant battery.

    Fort Collins started that trend a couple years ago. The lawn crews have been using electric powered mowers that aren't up to the task of clearing large fields, so it takes much longer and costs more to complete. They are great for small areas but suck at cutting a softball field.

    I bought a little Skil electric push mower for my front yard, it's only about 60x30. The gasser I use for the rough stuff around the trailers and stuff. The Skil does struggle if I wait too long to cut, but does decent. I wouldn't want to mow anything larger though
    Riding mower for the larger areas around the house and of course tractor with a rotary cutter for the 2 other 1 acre fields. The rest is tress/I don't care about haha

    5:15am flight out of Santa Barbara (literally the smallest airport I’ve ever seen - 4 gates total).

    Wake up at 3am.

    Get to the airport at 4:20am (haaaar, brah)

    Flight delayed at 4:30am due to rain (no notification from United).

    4:35am - the gate agent gets on the PA, “just want to be honest with you…there’s a chance this flight can be delayed for hours.”

    4:40am - my flight is canceled. The one runway is flooded (no real drainage).

    4:42am - all flights canceled.

    4:45am - airport officially closed.

    4:46am - I change my reservation to a flight out of LAX. 90 miles away.

    4:47am - get on the Uber app…. $250 Uber ride to LAX.

    5:15am - still waiting for an Uber driver to confirm they’ll pick up. Keep getting denied.

    4:47am - 5:15am (while Uber is telling me to fuck off) - looking at booking a bus coach from Santa Barbara to LAX. It’s only a 10 minute walk to the bus stop…

    5:16am - get on the phone with the bus agent. Informs me that the 10 minute walk to the bus “stop” is actually their office location. The nearest bus stop is 2.5 miles away.

    5:17am - rent a car from National in the Santa Barbara airport to drive to LAX and drop it off there. Gave the guy at the counter a pity party - only charges me for a sedan (drove the ultimate luxury minivan).

    5:20am - find another parent (we were there for a tournament) who is flying out of LAX (similar move I pulled). Their flight is at 8:15am. Google is telling us it’s a 2 hour drive.

    5:30am - we depart. Instantly getting flash flooding warning throughout the entire route. Fuck it, I have insurance.

    7:30am - drop them off at the terminal after driving through torrential rain… and even worse California drivers. Holy balls… four wrecks (like massive ones). Also fighting the goddamn drivers assist technology in this minivan. Felt like I was flying a P-51 Mustang.

    8:00am - drop the minivan off.

    9:00am - get to LAX.

    9:30am - get to the United Club. My flight is at 4:15pm.

    I’m gonna eat and drink all the complimentary food and beverages for the next 5+ hours to make up for this shit day.

    The drive was definitely dicey.

    I told the other parent, “if this turns into a Planes, Trains and Automobiles situation, I’m not sharing a bed with you.”
