Shadetree Mechanic

Auto repairs. Home repairs. Sanity checks. Bounced sanity checks.

Did tie rod ends on the Brotherinlaw’s van. Simple job, less crawling around than you’d expect. Inner tie rod ends, to be exact. A nice job- 10.99 each for the parts. Local store wanted $480 to do the job. Fucktards.

BIL helped me put up some badly needed trim around the garage door, and some painting. Huge deal to have him around. His wife, of course, is cooking here, which is insane tasty. Perhaps the fill not happening last tuesday was god’s way of telling me “Mangia! Mangia!”

Birthday parties for the family today. Damn, a lot of us are born in august.

The fun never ends

I have a vibration in the Exploder. It’s been there a couple months. It’s similar to a vibration I got with a bad front wheel bearing a couple years back.

So i replace the other front wheel bearing. same noise I replace the rear wheel bearings. Same noise. I replaced the original front wheel bearing. Same noise. So tonight I went out and replaced the Ujoints. Same noise. I suspect it may be a tire, but I can’t afford new tires at present.

Gaah.

Fun never ends.

Auto repairs again.

Helped my optometrist fix the brakes on his truck and his wife’s car. A couple hours.

Went home and had to pee so bad I went without even bothering to wash. So I got brake dust all over my pecker.

Later, in the shower, I grabbed the GOOP and rubbed it on, thinking, I hope this shit don’t burn. It doesn’t.

Felt kinda good, actually.

Hope I can stop it.

Used four cans tonight.
