My waterfront isn't physically attached to the lot my house is on and is considered an unbuildable lot. 143 ft of waterfront cost me $15k and the taxes are under a hundred bucks a year. Oh, my trivial complaint is that the serpentine belt just blew apart on my truck. Luckily I was very close to home so it was a short walk on a sunny day.
I think I did permanent nerve damage to my hands from trying to get my driceshaft outta my pump stator.. Still wouldn't come out. My palms are aching and I lost all grip strength and my hands feel so messed up. I wore gloves too. All that and it didn't budge. Lol

What were you smashing your driveshaft splines against while holding the stator with your hands? Lol...

I might be partially responsible for that decision, lol. I talk about using gravity but even I had to break out the blocks and hammer this past week.
A block of wood. At least 50 hard smacks. Even had my dad who's super strong try and he couldn't get it. Put it in the freezer, then heated it up with a map gas torch and wacked it against was block of wood a couple times and nothing.
Put it in between two blocks of wood, heates it up, grabbed a brass hammer.. Couple of swings and it just popped out perfectly lol

I do the hand hurting method. But I wear two pairs of thick gloves and stuff some rags on the stator to soften the impact to my palms.
Piece of plywood or 2x4 on the ground and smash away. Usually two or three solid hits pops it right off. You have to follow through (like hitting a baseball with a bat)
If I save three or four pumps to do at once I bring them to work and use the press. Then I work like a man instead of a "cave man"
Your trivial complaint should be that your arm muscles were too small to pop the stator off.....lol

Brought some fish home from the lake. One was still alive when I went to filet it. I hate when that happens. Creeps me out and I feel horrible.
