the trivial complaints thread

I just erased my detailed story to get this down to the lowest factorial. I just messed up a helicoil into my Factory Pipe manifold enough that I've gotta pull the manifold and it get it to a machine shop for a repair

Instead of a half hour job done right I (With the help of my brother) managed to try to save 15 minutes and licoriceed things up royally. I had thought I learned my lesson years ago but I guess not. I'll be surprised if I can get this back together by Friday.

Small needle nose pliers and flat head will get your heli coil out in less than 15min.

Oh, its horrible alright. I start working at 5am at sunrise and am done at 11, after that its just a oven outside..lol.I have a evaporative cooler in my shop, but iit cant keep up after 11oclock.
Either have to be inside in the air con or up the river in the cold cold water..

Suppose to be 122 today... I guess the winters here make it all worth it.

Monsoon season starts here around the 1st of July. Then its humid too till around the end of September ....lol

Dont be lazy and adjust your bunks when you change skis... Tossed on the raider for a quick trip to the lake and the strap broke on the way up sending the raider into the side of the embankment at about 30mph around a bumpy turn. Surprising it did very little damage to the ski. But if I would have adjusted the bunks properly the strap wouldn't have had to work so hard. =/
 
People need to tie their stuff down wtf! That could kill someone. So how's your house get fixed, home owners ins or do the people come forward ? That's sucks man

I already talked to the neighbor, he is pretty cool and we get along. There isn't too much damage so he said he would definitely cover it, or if I claimed it he would pay the deductible.(definitely not worth claiming) If it was the neighbors on the other side of me I would have been over there at 3:00 this morning yelling at them. It was kinda exciting to watch it come over from his yard though when it happened.
 
Grainger said my frill bit would be in at 8. Show up 20 after 8 and guy says we dont even get our truck until 9. So now I am sitting and waiting for a drill bit so I can go back to work and hog out these cylinder heads for the monster 1/2 inch head studs I am installing. How stupid to sell studs and not include a bit to open up the heads. No where locally has a bit bigger than 1/2 in.

Had what felt like a light seizure Sunday morning. After pulling head and rolling around the piston started hearing a sound that just made me cringe. This is a very low hour ADR crank.... FML. Just cannot catch a effing break.
