Buddy came over earlier and put a new radiator in Darla. I guess I get my driveway back tomorrow if he comes by and takes it home.

I always torque my lugs to 100 ft lbs. I don't even use the impact gun to put the lugs back on, only to take them off.

As short as I am, I still don't fit in the back of a cop car. I guess I shouldn't give money to a deputy :-p

What!? [emoji1]

[StinkyCheese]

What!? [emoji1]

The money was because our other friend was buying the cop's girlfriend's old car. I was in the back because he's my best friend and had gotten his assigned patrol car back from the repair shop last night so he asked me to drive his personal vehicle back to his house. It was easier to just sit in back than to move stuff around up front, plus I've never been in the back of one. 10 minutes to the sub station still sucked, so little leg room.

Lmao! Okay, you got me. I thought it was more serious.

My friggin self instal kits from cox two days ago had the wrong instructions. Spent 5 hours on the phone over two days trying to get everything working right, hope the new instruction correct the problem

[SnakeEyeSS]

Nope, the real instructions didn't help anything, guess I did good enough "blind". Truck rollin in tomorrow, but the stories of cable guys trying to get cable cards to work are horrifying. Hours and hours, cards and tuners replaced over and over and its almost always some programming error at their end, but since they only train people on their overpriced and underpowered set top boxes and dvrs they never realize its something simple.

 

 

Whats funny is I was told I wouldnt get anything without the tuner, Im only missing 20 channels of 250+ without it.

 

They want $30 a month for their box " equivalent" to my TiVo that has fewer features and has lower end tech. If I wanted the newest box, The new Tivo Bolt is half that, upconverts to 4K, and includes a warranty as long as you have service.

[StinkyCheese]

Well I hope I didn't have anything on my phone's internal storage as I managed to wipe it while doing a clean install of my OS. Yay me. Manged to mess up a couple other things b/c of that stupidity but oh well, that's why I have a micro sd card right? So glad I upgraded to a 64gb sammy pro this read/write above 70 MB/s makes things go so much faster vs my old card that struggled to maintain 20 MB/s.

Ya there small try being handcuffed in them for what seems like an hour lucky last time the cops tried to take me down I was able to sit in the back of a Chevy Tahoe. They had me boxed in they came outa middle no were there was three Tahoe's one was all black a F250 cop truck and two cop cars they came from every direction completely boxed me in within seconds they didn't give me a chance to run at all.

Got myself a migraine. Why? Because I tried to upload a couple songs to my mp3 player. I could never imagine such a simple process could become a convoluted cluster**** of 3 hours. Unbelievable!!!

 

The PC had no problem just dragging and dropping files. The iMac won't play ball, I guess because it's not an Apple device. Played around and played around, and bricked the mp3 player. GREAT!! Kept saying the thing was full to the brim and to delete files, but then it would shut down. Had to dust off and hook the PC back up to delete stuff and get it to work again. The iMac downloaded a bunch of gibberish to it that took up all it's space. 1st problem I've had with this thing in nearly a year.

 

Remember how simple it was to just push RECORD on the tape player? The song took 3 -14 minutes (depending on song), but it was GUARANTEED to work. Technology. WTF ...

spec is 150, but you should be fine

Wow, really? Guess I'll remember that for next time lol! Here I thought 100 was a lot.

[StinkyCheese]

The sheriff's dept here is phasing out the impala for whatever the Ford suv is. Buddy can't wait to get one of those things. As far as unmarked everything with wheels is a possibility here.

 

 

Reading all these torque comments last few days makes me wonder how I haven't had any problems. When I've done it myself I almost always do my lug nuts on or off by hand using whatever those X wrenches are called. No air tools, no torque wrench. If it doesn't budge I stand on the wrench and it moves, I tighten until it's snug and then give it a little oomph to be sure.
