Well things are looking better haven't broken anything all day.
Got the new studs in my sons 2008 Impala left front wheel Finlay and he will bring a new or used rim to replace the one that he screwed up this weekend.
Couldn't get my kitchen drain unclogged the snake wasn't log enough to reach the clog so letting some sulfuric acid sit in the drain for about an hour or so and see what happens. Not liking to use it but my dishes are piling up.
I might work on the Scamp now that I think I might not screw it up. lol

So she said your snake isnt long enough?
 
Sulfuric acid in the drain ...
I sure hope there is no metal pipes in that drain system ...

What caused the lug problem on the Imp ?
 
Morning Mark , surprisingly rust not a big prolbem out here ,sure we have rust but nothing like you guys .
They love to put that dam brine down here. Brutal stuff. My friend used to work for the hwy dept putting brine on the roads. He said every two months they would have to replace the stainless clamps because they were rotted. Shouldn't be allowed and what's it doing to the environment. It has to get into the watershed and then into the lakes.
 
Thanksgiving letter from Grandma

Dear Family.......Living is still important to me.
If being in my Last Will and Testament is important to you, then you might consider being with me for my favorite holiday. Dinner is at 2:00. Not 2:15. Not 2:05. Two. 2:00! Arrive late and you get what's left over.
Last year, that moron Marshall fried a turkey in one of those contraptions and practically burned the deck off the house. This year, the only peanut oil used to make the meal will be from the secret scoop of peanut butter I add to the carrot soup.
Jonathan, your last new wife was an idiot. You don't arrive at someone's house on Thanksgiving needing to use the oven and the stove. Honest to God, I thought you might have learned after two wives - date them longer and save us all the agony of another divorce.
Now, the house rules are slightly different This year because I have decided that 47% of you don't know how to take care of nice things. Paper plates and red Solo cups might be bad for the environment, but I'll be gone soon and that will be your problem to deal with.
House Rules:
1. The University of Texas no longer plays Texas A&M. The television stays off during the meal.
2. The "no cans for kids" rule still exists. We are using 2 liter bottles because your children still open a third can before finishing the first two. Parents can fill a child's cup when it is empty. All of the cups have names on them and I'll be paying close attention to refills.
3. Chloe, last year we were at Trudy's house and I looked the other way when your Jell-O salad showed up. This year, if Jell-O salad comes in the front door it will go right back out the back door with the garbage. Save yourself some time, honey. You've never been a good cook and you shouldn't bring something that wiggles more than you. Buy something from the bakery.
4. Grandmothers give grandchildren cookies and candy. That is a fact of life. Your children can eat healthy at your home. At my home, they can eat whatever they like as long as they finish it.
5. I cook with bacon and bacon grease. That's nothing new. Your being a vegetarian doesn't change the fact that stuffing without bacon is like egg salad without eggs. Even the green bean casserole has a little bacon grease in it. That's why it tastes so good. Not eating bacon is just not natural. And as far as being healthy... look at me. I've outlived almost everyone I know.
6. Salad at Thanksgiving is a waste of space.
7. I do not like cell phones. Leave them in the car.
8. I do not like video cameras. There will be 32 people here. I am sure you can capture lots of memories without the camera pointed at me.
9. Being a mother means you have to actually pay attention to the kids. I have nice things and I don't put them away just because company is coming over. Mary, watch your kids and I'll watch my things.
10. Rhonda, a cat that requires a shot twice a day is a cat that has lived too many lives. I think staying home to care for the cat is your way of letting me know that I have lived too many lives too. I can live with that. Can you?
11. Words mean things. I say what I mean. Let me repeat: You don't need to bring anything means you don't need to bring anything. And if I did tell you to bring something, bring it in the quantity I said. Really, this doesn't have to be difficult.
12. Domino's and cards are better than anything that requires a battery or an on/off switch. That was true when you were kids and it's true now that you have kids.
13. Showing up for Thanksgiving guarantees presents at Christmas. Not showing up guarantees a card that may or may not be signed.
Love You, Grandma

What caused the lug problem on the Imp ?
Plastic pipes I live in a mobile home.
Lug problem I think was over tight I took the back tire off and put the doughnut spare in the back so I could have good rims on the front and it was way to tight I had to use a big impact to get it off.
Just what I think he just had new tires put on not long ago and I think they torqued them to tight. Not the first time I've seen that happen.

Crap sounds like me....
 
Didn't do a lot today. Did go out for a walk after lunch. Dull and overcast and a cold wind but nice to get some fresh air. Then I fixed our old vacuum cleaner. It dropped on the ground and had to repair around the swivel wheel at the front as it cracked the body. All fixed and works like a charm once more. Probably 25 years old (an old Sears model) and we use it downstairs but have a Dyson upstairs. That thing with suck start a Harley at a thousand feet.

Sounds like my last girlfriend. lol
 
Kid's car I have know idea but my car goes to be fixed at the shop I know and trust and I still check to make sure it was done right as much as I can.
My buddy works on my cars and I know it's done right the first time. There are mechanics and guys who think they are and know enough to be dangerous.
 
Seen on the road ...
