runaway parents Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 So I I was putting the last bolt in the bed to frame connection.. in the worst place possible place about 3 inches out of reach been fighting these things all day .with a torn rotor cuff attitude has definitely deteriorated. Dropped nut and lock washer for about the third time. And in a lot of pain. Came out from under truck cursing like a construction worker. While thinking I was buy myself didn't think any body would here this. But oh know standing at the front of the truck was two fellers dressed up in there black suits and carrying a bible. Needless to say I apologized for my explicit language and today was not a good day to stop buy . So I need to make sure when things are going bad make sure nobody Is standing there to here the melt down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runaway parents Posted January 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I forgot the kids gave me a sign that is shaped like a stop sign that says WARNING WATCH FOR FLYING TOOLS. Maybee should of nailed it to a saw horse and put out in front of the truck. At least it would of warned them (the guys in the black suits) of what they where getting into.

Carlos Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 That sounds like a double win to me. You got that out of your system, and you got rid of two annoying people coming to sell you crap you don't need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

runaway parents Posted January 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Did better today minimal amount of cursing. Started wiring the lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 You ever put all the screws on a compartment full of wiring you were working on, then go to use your work light somewhere else.........and see light peeking out from the cracks of what should be a dark compartment....

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Well, They heard you as they were walking up, If they didn't like the scene they should have left. I know how to be prim and proper when I'm out, but if you're in my space/territory/house then if you don't like what leaves my mouth when I'm under duress, that's your problem.

rpsinc Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Perhaps they just had some empathy and wanted to help you with your day, which was not going as well as it could be. I do sometimes appreciate when someone can interrupt the negative energy I am dealing with at a particular time, esp when frustrated with something I am doing. I often works! I try to remember to enjoy the journey but I have some years on me and sometimes forget, while fighting alligators, that the reason I got into the swamp was to DRAIN IT!

Pete Kildow Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Rebuilding a Loader Cylinder today. Have not let a cuss word out yet. But man it would make a preacher cry. I may have to use Ducktape in a few weeks. New Pinion seal, along with new air bags,shocks. And then the fun starts for sure. Air bags and shocks on the sleeper. If the bed was not on the truck, all this would be a walk in the park. But no can't get my Donut build gut in most of the spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
