People who geek up their Rav 4, Suzuki Samurai, etc with Harley Davidson gear.

I used to work with a guy who had a custom soft top made for his 88 Samurai with a huge Harley Logo embroidered on the back window. I swear the top was worth twice what the vehicle was.

At 12:55 you find out there is a 3rd bid for the day that you did not know about. 5 minutes later a contractor emails you asking "How are you coming on this one-" My answer "Considering I just found out about it 5 minutes ago………………….. Don’t know if I can get it bid in time. Have 2 other bids today. How about sending Invites"........................... Response "Please try and get me something on this".........


Really. He went to the prebid on the 24th......... Waits until the day of the bid 1 hour before its due............... Effing Morons.

Break T fitting undoing cooling line. Break 3 motor mounts pulling engine. Break pulse fitting trying to remove line. Leak test motor to be sure front crank seal really is leaking (there is goo all over the place) and find out base gasket is toast too. Everything I touch breaks or falls off. I'm almost afraid to take a wizz.

Least you did not smoke a piston 10 minutes into break-in............... Looks like my summer is done before it started unless I can sand the piston and hone the cylinders. Already in to it for 1k.
 
I put a hanging bird feeder out on the deck every spring/summer. I was in the office and heard what sounded like someone throwing rice at the wall outside so I look through the screen door and it's a giant pigeon just beating the absolute snot out of the feeder trying to get the bigger pieces of corn and sunflower seeds out while ignoring the smaller stuff and flicking it all over my deck.

Stupid bird.

A little manual labor never hurt anyone. I poured 106 cubic yards of concrete yesterday if anyone wants to talk about manual labor. Heading out to dump another 35 right now.

17m old has had the worse diarrhea I have ever seen since Saturday afternoon. Every 10-15min spraying green water out.. I gave up on diapers and just wrap him in a towel and take him outside .. Worse part is him looking at me for help and nothing I can do. :(
 
This weekend blew (well kinda). Planned to trench our yard for sprinklers, got up early and picked up trencher-shouldn't have ignored the universe trying to tell me it was a bad idea.
1. Check engine light lit up in truck putting in limp mode after picking up trencher. (ran diag. w/ tuner and cleared-light came back on but no longer in limp mode)
2. Clean out kamado grill to smoke ribs while trenching-find crack in firebowl. (no biggie and warranty will cover but worth noting)
3. Get to trenching--have to dig and chop out about 2 dozen roots at least 4 inches in diameter along the way. (I like manual labor but this chit got old fast)
4. Found data/phone/cable line with trencher....at this point I was pissed. We called the dig line and had all the utility companies come mark their lines last week. I was instructed to hand dig within 2' of any painted line. The mark was 6' off where I hit the line and tore the cable out of the back of my house. (You can see the orange line in the pic where the line was supposed to be)
5. Had too many beers by this point and forgot sunscreen=gnarly sunburn
6. Went to buddies for Mayweather/Pacquiao fight which sucked and further reinforced that boxing has gone to chit.
7. Got "talked into" going to the strip club following the fight (HAHAHAHA not complaining)
8. Stopped at jack in the box on the way home from the titty bar only to have my order screwed up.
9. Had to explain to wife (out of town all weekend) that sprinklers weren't done, cable and internet are down, boxing sucks, stripclub doesn't suck, and now the truck needs worked on.
