I do miss these places....

The Christmas after I turned 16 Santa brought me a set of 14x7 slots. Christmas is only 8 weeks after my birthday. I didn't even have my driver's license yet, let alone a car to fit those wheels. Santa must have shopped The Super Shops for that "Set of 4 for $99" deal. :lol:
 
Yep!

I will take some Keystone Klassics in 15x4 and 15x10 please. And a bottle of Carl T Hubers. If taking orders, Mike

I sold a lot lot of those Keystones. Damn no Starlight in Iowa. I have a bunch of it I bought at Starks in Prairie Du Chien
 
Lincoln rad fan changed, 45 minutes. Was easier than it looked. Then went and helped with the 50 chevy brakes. Damn wheel cylinder pins were too long. Chopped em off and rounded the ends. Good to go now. Another round of cheap aftermarket crap that will fit kinda.
 
Yep!

Love the uniform jackets. Having a professional appearance. Makes it easier to tell who works there and who's about to commit grand larceny.

I know who the *** wipe was that replaced my fan clutch last. I wouldn't take my busted bicycle to his shop to get fixed. :mob::mob::mob::mob::mob::mob:
 
I got it but I had to MacGyver it a bit. It is a screw on clutch and I've never failed to break one loose and spin it off by just tapping on the wrench handle. I stuck a couple bolts in the pulley holes and held the pulley with a pry bar so it wouldn't turn.

Speaking of Carlisle stories.
This one ranks in the top 5, and will be back this year.

So, for the last several years, I have noticed when working in the garage - grinding, welding, etc - I am the most prone to migraines. I got one Friday and again yesterday. Both times welding on my boy's car. Got me thinking....could my auto darkening helmet (cheaper one I got my boy so he could help but it recharges the battery from the UV light from the arc vs watch batteries like my good one) not be reacting fast enough and it it the flashes that are causing them? random thought
In a word YES. Never cheap out on a Welding Helmet. Get a good exhaust fan if you don't already.
 
My "good" helmet is a Jackson Next Gen. Almost 20 years old, but has LCD screen with many adjustments for darkness, time delay on, brazing, etc. I am going to bring it home from work and see if it changes things.
You only have one set of eyes and one brain box. Cheap welding hoods are not good. And good welding hoods are not cheap. I gotta beer says the cheap hood is root cause.
 
So I also provided RSO services for High School State trap tourney this weekend. We baked alive, north of 100 degrees F each day. Multiple competitors fell to the heat. We had a big reefer trailer onsite dialed down to sixty for cool down and repair on folks that got to hot. And man it was hot, standing on trap field ten hours no shade. I about died. Glad it is over, I took a nice cold shower and took my toddy in with me. There is just nothing more refreshing when you are covered in sunblock mixed with dirt than a cold toddy in the shower.
