Where is everyone #5

That looks like a U-joint for a Volvo, but I’m sure it tastes better than one.

 

Haven’t had time to really dig into looking for brake lines for dads 80 model Ford. Did call this place this morning though, guy told me the brake lines are something they don’t have and can’t get. Said custom built will probably be where I end up….


Business Info

 

Well…. Found them after all!!

Bronco Graveyard, never heard of them but they popped up….

 

Went and seen Dad, he’s a lot better… pneumonia, Covid, and lungs filling with fluid about got him this time. He’s 80 now, sure glad he’s still with us….

 

What your guys opinions. Went into occupation health for a Wizz Quiz. Besides showing up needing to pee, and they were out to lunch. The nurse definitely did not follow protocol. Did not give you choice of cups, rushed threw paperwork, not in order, started to right my name of form. Now this is mostly for just discussion. But when exact procedure isn't followed by them, how do you know the actual testing procedure is followed. I have no concern for myself, but this system is suppose failproof, and we do read on here about issues. She just kinda half azzed everything.

 

Think there's a fight brewing

 

custom brake lines are cheap and easy to make, for safety and sanity add a bit to the length to compensate for losing a bit on each bend as well as a bit of loss at the flares.

There are better tools and better lines but this would get you started.

 

Most issues we read about on TTR aren’t clerical. I will read over everything I sign. Especially when it’s someone else filling out your info. And I want to see the mood ring cup change colors (hey, they may get a bad batch from Amazon with faulty mood ring tape..). I hand them their cup and it doesn’t leave my sight til it’s sealed and I initial.

On TTR, there are lots of guys who fail for S T U P I D reason.

“Walked outside to smoke/had a phone call I had to take/have performance issues and Binky is shy/temps wasn’t up to snuff and I couldn’t wizz for another two hours and the nurse practitioner wanted a live performance from Binky and that’s a violation of my rights as a sovereign citizen/ I am the executive, and the representative but not the person or individual who pissed in that cup…”

 

I get exactly what your saying. One time in 18ish years I had trouble peeing. It was my fault. Went before hand and assumed I could pee on command. I had trouble that one time. But drank some water and finally went. But my point is, if at the lowest level they don't follow procedure, how can you count on the system? I no doubt have been able to pee clean since I was 19. But one person's mistake could put me in that group of posters. They collect, and ship it OH to LA. On DHL. Lots of room for issues. Idk just my thoughts. First time in all the tests I've ever taken that wasn't more formal.

 

Kinda like what if the pee collector wants to Mark Furman your sample? You’re guilty until proven innocent with no way to prove innocence. I think the piss testing started in the mid to late nineties, and so far, I haven’t been Mark Furmanned.
