Why yes, I am a Smart ***
Well, things have been going good for a while now. Today is a balance out day for the bad ****.
1. trying to do a simple brake job aint simple see here
2 the ratchet nub (the end that fits in the socket) broke shear off up in the socket extension Kobalt - Lowes lifetime brand - When the help article described the bolts as a PITA to get off and they are tight. They were not kidding!!!!
3 The new brake shoes are the wrong ones ( well they are the right ones, but the squeeler is to far away from the pad so it won't fit) -return them
4 rotors not turned and old shoes back on - job still not done
5 I look in between my two trucks and notice something looks out of place, -a shelf shouldn't be there.
The shelf that has been on the wall (over a year and never touched) holding paint cans, a large fan to circulate air in the garge, and other misc stuff has decided to pepper the hood of my other truck 15 1/2 full cans of paint and a fan. My hood looks like hail damage now. On the bright side at least the lids stayed on.
6 As soon as I crank up my digging machine, a hydro line blows - oil everplace. something else to fix.
----All this before 8 am
7 I need to get to my suppliers to get material for the Fri job
8 I have three contract bids I need to do today - yeh, I got time for all of it
Had to vent - better now.
At least I have most of my heath - damn pinched nerve
But I aint gonna touch the bike today - No Way,No How.
EDIT
As long as I am taking a break, I called University Motors About my shipment. The new Avon Storms are not there so will not be shipped today ( I had a feeling....)
Now Its Monday
