    We should get together at The Halford here in Santa Clara. Just opened. 71 beers on tap. A great burger and finger food. Oh. And the selection is pretty good too. Google them on beermenu.com for an idea what they have.

    Well let's plan something out, hopefully better than the meet for Saturday!

    Im only off Sundays and Mondays so I need to know if it's going to be on a Saturday so I can make sure I've got time off.

    BTW, they just had a soft opening Wednesday. The Grand Opening is gonna be Friday. The menu is simple. I had a burger and fries that were pretty good. The food tends toward small plates that can be shared. You can find a beer menu here. Their website is a countdown clock until the GO.

    The Hamms is on nitrogen instead of CO2. Comes out smooth and creamy-not at all like the cheap beer it is. I had a Scrimshaw, another Saison, and a PB Porter mixed with Dragon's Milk-tastes like dessert. Good stuff.

    I did the rear today, pretty easy. Plan on doing the front and tc soon when I take off the skids and change the tranny fluid.

    Projects like this do nothing for the function of the truck.

    Bought this chrome honeycomb grill from @kingk0ng about 6 months ago. Rattlecan painted & clear coated it.

    It's easy man...just time consuming. Get good masking tape. And use a really sharp x-acto knife to cut the paint before pulling off the tape. I learned the hard way and...just don't look too close next time you see my truck. Lmk if you need help.

    my BAR complaint and investigation is done. Shop was deemed at fault but wont cough up any money. So the BAR found other paperwork and processes that were done incorrectly and will forever stay with the Manager and that store. Also leading to a further investigation as the paperwork led to some other "odd similarities" to my issue.

    Either way i have a replacement from a friend so at least my shits not looking homeless anymore.

    the owner and the Manager refused to offer any form of compensation, the BAR cant force them to do so. But the investigator said he informed the Manager and the owner that this could easily go to small claims court over something so simple and after reviewing your paperwork, i will fully back the customer. Having the BAR against you in a small claims court battle being an auto repair shop, does not look good.

    TLDR:
