    Left the house at 5:30am headed to Brownwood. I got her at 7:30a and started finishing the data cables. Between setting up the computers, the network rack, punching down the cables to the patch panel, and finishing setting up the PCs it was a long day. I left the site at 8:30p to grab dinner and go to the hotel. That is where I'm sitting now - hoping tomorrow goes much smoother.

    The Internet connection should be getting done in the AM so I can get the network connected to the web and then get the software vendor on the server so they can finish configuring their software. :rolleyes:

    I think that's what I'll end up going with. Hopefully I can have my truck up for sale within two weeks. Gotta get a few things taken care of first.

    As many miles as he puts down on a regular basis; yeah. He drives enough each week to really get the benefits of a gas saver. If I had the spare cash right now I would buy one of those +40 mpg Hyaundai-things. A guy I know has one and it is a nice car and it gets 45 mpg. Instead of costing me almost $10-15 a day in gas that would drop to $5-7.

    Pics or it didn't happen. Have you gotten that locker plumbed in yet?

    Only complaint I hear about duratracs is that they are hard to balance. Other than that people love them.

    So yesterday, a bro from northern cali comes in and cusses out a manager, the entire showroom and one of the guys out back calling him a fucking fa-jot. All because we can't work on his car because it had spacers.

    So today, he comes back in and we give him a free set of wheels.... :facepalm:


    I hate people......

    No :eek: I have no idea why we just gave them a free set. Something about we can't let them leave without it being safe to drive on :notsure: it's all a bunch of BS.

    Why won't you work on vehicles with spacers?

    Something about them being aftermarket so it changes the way the wheel sit on the hub. And lugs won't grab the stud well enough. And liability issues. If it's a factory spacer, we can work on it though.

    I never really understood why. I just know we can get in some major trouble if we do :eek:
