There's an ad for a hunter DSP400 for 1500.00 local-ish to me.
I've got be really selective who I take my wagon to as it runs a Shim setup vs cam bolts
Someone who can at least out a medium truck on is the ticket imo. So yeah. A heavy truck shop is the best place to go to.
The Problem was he had to figure out what to damage and exactly how he was going to do it. That's why it took so long...
Sure any one could show up and do the job they are supposed to do, But what's the fun in that? It's more fun to be creative and figure out alternative ways one can achieve similar results that are close enough, but not exactly right...
Sorry, my sarcasm is acting up again...
Wow, 6 Hrs... I don't have the patience to wait that long. I am fortunate the guys I use are fairly good. But they also know I can turn wrench's too.

Swung by Midas this afternoon, assistant manager was there and his story is only store manager has the authority to do refunds.
He gave me the "certified mechanic" line.. snapped back, give me a ASE topic and I can be a "Master tech" in under a week or 2.. certs use to mean something 20-30 years ago. A legitimate mechanic doesn't do this type of work quality. He wasn't there yesterday so I didn't jump his case personally.. did mentioned the store manager doesn't seem to have legitimate credentials to being a store manager. And seams like a corporate type that no functional knowledge on how a shop works..
Says he works Tuesday through Saturday. They close at 6.. I get off work soon enough..
Should be able to do a charge back through the bank.. probably cost me 30-40.00...on a ~100 bill
2 guys for 2hrs on a 30 minute job they lost money on the get go
Oh Jezz, it was Midas... They are so bad even there commercials suck...
Yeah, I commented on that one too... I don't know how you guys have the pertinence for this crap.
Shit #39 I can't type..
Fine.
Here
I wouldn't claim I have pertinence knowledge in general in talking about myself ?
lol, Stupid auto correct on the Phone gets me every time...
Please, never forget what happened 24 years ago this morning. I know I never will.
Congratulations Tom, enjoy.
I'll never forget where I was when my science teacher told us what had happened... The look on his face was that of pure horror.

Whoops…
People can take these Renaissance Festivals very seriously. Went to one this past weekend, and I had a lot of fun just people-watching, checking out all the cool costumes. Spent most of my time goofing off with my grandson. Fun having a beer with my Son-in-law, too.
Roni dressed up, looked like a medieval Lara Croft, and looked stunning. Daughter looked beautiful in her outfit, too.
I ran into a group of guys dressed as monks as I was pushing the grandson in his wagon. So I joke, "You guys should've done the whole 'Monty Python' schtick." Well, they all bust out their forehead boards, including small whoopie cushions on the ends. They then proceed to go into a chant, and Whomp! -- hit themselves in the heads with the boards, making fart noises! Then the "lead monk" gives me a blessing, "May your flatulence be sweet, your smell be divine". It was Fricking hilarious! Made my day.

Roni's starting to put together displays for my retirement party. UPS gave that 727 model to my Dad after he brought their air business to our airport. Sat on a shelf in his office, and now I have it.Not to mention the 100s of balloons and other stuff she and my kids are planning. She has a binder going with ideas, drawings, lists. I guess she even has our son 3d printing a model of that pkg dropbox I placed on my route years ago. Oy vey.
