    New poll just for the heck of it.

    My in-laws, they're ok most of the time. We don't really have a lot to do with them or my parents though and they all live within 15 minutes of us.

    I have a suspicion its for anodizing work where you have to charge the water to get the colorant to stick.

    Crewchief buddy of mine had the new blackhawk pilot right out of Rucker out collecting exhaust samples in trash bags as they spun up the birds. Had to make sure they were tagged with tail number and which engine. It was fire season so they were spinning up the whole line. :rofl:Had a whole truck full of inflated trash bags when she was done.

    Sometimes/most of the time, my father in law actually lives with us because he’s a broke ass old man, and against my better judgment I let him move in instead of making living in his truck, he has a son as well, but the son learned everything about life from his dad, examples not limited to... making kids, not affording said kids, keeping a job, mooching off the system or as he currently is song mooching off his family.

    Got around to getting this rear rim off tonight. Stood on a breaker bar and broke a 1/2” extension. Had to get the hot wrench and the MAC air wrench out. I’m taking it to work tomorrow to swap out on the other rim, this one is eat up from calcium.

    As far as I know Lowe’s is, I traded a ratchet there about a year ago. If not I’ll get a MAC from a friend of mine who’s a dealer :thumbsup:

    This rim wasn’t bad on the inside, until I got to hitting the rust with a hammer.
