    I know, however, I'm kinda in a pickle. They are closed tomorrow and they closed as soon as I left today.....and you know how that goes. Plus, I'm going to take my first load for a new customer on Monday, so I didn't want to cancel. Just sucks all around.....like normal. So I'm going to get my new tires and wheels put on Monday first thing. Then roll over to the customer and load. While they are loading me, I'm going to check the hub level again. Then go from there. I just don't want to cancel a first load on a new customer.

    I'm not perfect and seem to always be able to f### something up on a perfect day. But stories like THAT is what keeps me going. I might break it, but at least I know who did, and they didn't get a dime lol.

    The problem is, hwy 12 is the only way from my place east. Which if you traveled that road (I'm sure you have) it isn't where one wants to be broken down. Limp into @RGN place.....lol

    Lol, don't worry, that will get old quick. We had an indoor pool and several outdoor pools. They are tons of fun at first. All jokes aside though. Super happy you found a place. I'm sure your place will sell quick. Moving is always fun....lol

    Yeah, I just need a shop. There is only so much I can do in my dirt driveway. Tearing apart an entire front end....isn't one. What really makes you cringe is when you see that about 60% of the bill is labor! Gees

    We all started somewhere with our mechanical abilities. The big problem pattern I'm noticing is the lack of giving AF. It takes literally no effort to just be conscience of what you are doing.

    The first couple years I'd actually sit in bed at night and stew over the day. Did I tighten the caps on the u-joint? Did I torque the right rear wheel nuts? This is all despite the fact I knew #### well my OCD made me re-check it at least twice before it left the shop lol.
