Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I go to a new practitioner in January so we'll see if they do that or not.

I had to get a DOT physical one time in the winter months and I told the guy "good luck finding them, it's cold"

 

I have owned it for years. The frame broke at the end of last winter and the plow worked fine then. The pump is turned in that picture to give a clear picture of the kinked, bad hose. I just replaced that hose and only that hose so no chance of a hose mix up. And I had the pump upright when it was being operated. The return hose could be bad but it looks fine.

Off to work so away from the thread for awhile.

 

Do the left and right cylinders run off that pump?

 

When you push "up" the pump runs?

 

Greeting Wrenchmen, how goes it? My wrenchspace got an early christmas upgrade in the form of a nice big toolbox. Was able to condense 2 smaller toolboxes into this big tool chest/cabinet combo from Home Depot. It's 52" tall and 20" deep iirc. It was marked down for BF and was the floor model too so the hutch latch was bent. Got 20% knocked off on top of the BF deal, then when I got it home realized it was banged up pretty bad, including 3 rivets I had to fix. They knocked off another $100 for that and I got the thing for like $400-500. Pretty slick.
Then I decided after moving everything over to sell off the old boxes to a buddy and pocketed $160. So I came out like a fat rat.

When I got done I decided I'd take a look at my Ryobi radio that stopped playing music. Got it apart and tested the speaker, it was toast. So I said, time to gerry rig this thing. I removed the speaker, put a pig tail on the speaker connections through the side of the case, and hooked it up to a JVC speaker I had laying around from some old surround sound system and a junk sub we pulled out of the 350z. Now the garage has tunes again and I didn't have to buy another radio

 

Thank you, for checking with the Mods. Did you check with my new supervisor as well?

I'm already a certified YouTube Rocket professional. Though, 12 hour shifts, I'm not sure how it's going to work out yet.

 

This is exactly why I put my kids in the FJ80. At 10 miles to the gallon they weren’t going far. With the inline 6 they weren’t going fast. But surrounded by ARB Bumpers they were going to be safe. They drove that vehicle into the ground. I sure miss that rig…but it fulfilled its mission. Congrats

 

They seem a little young to be driving....

 

Yes I checked. Your supervisor said it's fine as long as you don't get caught.

He also mentioned you may have some "unsupervised" time in that 24 hour period.

 

Getting a free pass last time just means you're due this time.

And you're also due for...

 

I think you actually have to schedule that now. Co-worker had to schedule this outside of a regular visit. Although we have UHC so they do all kinds of shady stuff

 

Beats the Child Seats all to hell when it comes to the cool factor. Something they can show their friends with pride. Definitely a look Ma, No hands moment

 

What are these “Rear Brake Pads” your truck is keeping track of

 

When you meet your new supervisor, make sure and tell them how highly regarded you are on the interwebs and also share how certificated you are in regards to nothing relevant to the tasks at hand. They will undoubtedly be impressed. No need to put your best foot forward and show determination, resolve and ingenuity. Just talk the talk, should be enough.

This is 85% of the work force around me. "I'd much rather talk about everything I've done than you know, willingly contribute the slightest effort".

I'm very frustrated

 

Not sure but it’s creepin’ me out telling me it’s icy & how to drive. Could be in Wife. Mode setting.

 

I'll 2nd this. @My Name is Rahl you don't have to know what you're doing, you just got to act like you know what you're doing.

Until you mess something up, then blame it on the other guy*.


*Unless you're the only guy in the shop then it's all on you

 

New temporary poll for @My Name is Rahl

 

Ooooh another 1st!

 

Hahaha…never to young for learning. The FJ was like a good dog. It grew up playing with them when they were young and then gave its life protecting them as they got older.
