I've been avoiding my neighbor for 2 days now. He decided to try doing balljoints in his boxtruck Monday. I told him what to remove, how to do it, lent him some big wrenches....He decided to take a sawzall to the nuts to get them out, trying to remove the whole knuckle/ spindle/ rotor/ caliper as a unit..:roll: Now the the truck is sitting dead on jack stands, ones that are much smaller than what they should be, on a broken/gravely/ uneven driveway..:o. I suggested putting boards under them, he didn't want to jack it up again. I told him to take the knuckles off and I'll press out/ in the bj's for him with my BJ press, but I'm not touching it like that. He wants to try doing one at a time on the truck, by hammering them in/out, even though I told him multiple times it can't be done...:wall:He's was by the house at least a dozen times yesterday, without any progress on his end. He's good for tearing shit apart , then begging for help. I told him of a shop that does big truck work and can tow it.

It annoys me greatly when someone asks for advice, doesn't take it, then asks for help after its fucked. :finger:

No shit.
About 8 years ago my niece was looking for a new computer and asked me for advice. The first thing I said was "avoid HP", so what did she do? Yep, she bought a new HP tower.
It died in the first week.
Why the fuck did she even call me??? :wall:

Try being in medicine and having your family ask advice. The first time you give them the benefit of the doubt and offer advice. So what do they do? They follow the electrician's medical recommendations o_O After that you simply smile and walk away. Hard to watch people you love commit slow suicide.

I took a few minutes to customize the back of my new truck bed.

3 old king size bed comforters, a box full of bungee cords, ratchet straps, gloves, flares, glow sticks, an 8 X 10 tarp still in the wrapper and a tire pump.

A cargo bar to hold everything back there and 3 old milk crates for small stuff from grocery store.

Sealtest was the best milk. Since they were bought out, those warnings of prosecution for stealing their milk crates are now invalid.

Whew! I saw the pic and was gonna post you to paint/otherwise obscure them. Last year a neighbor of my ex- called the cops to report some vandalism at his house. Cops come, see a stack of milk crates, ask him if he works for the milk outfit, no, arrest him for theft
