What are you doing today?

[Blckshdw]

Thinking after all this BS today it will be beer thirty soon!

Vodka 30 for me!

 

[tsmith1156]

SAI runs for 30 seconds at startup and does NOTHING after that so likely not your problem.

Hmm, so what do you think it could be?

 

[xavierny25]

At work today. After work I'll be picking up my freshly powder coated Hitchmate. Got her done in white crackle with a glow in the dark clear coat.(pic's will come soon) I also have to drop off a TV Stand for my lil bro that one of the tenant's left behind.

Busy day today. Left work an hour early to come home and conduct a phone interview for a potential new gig. Went really well, and now I have to have my game on point for the in person interview later this week. Need this gig in the worst way, so anyone who prays, please do so for your boy!! Need all the good vibes I can get right now.

After rush hour calmed down, headed to Lowe's (I think I know damn near the whole staff as much as I've been there in the last month) and picked up this high velocity fan. It got some good reviews for moving a bunch of air even on the lowest speed setting. I plan to use it to get some breeze in my garage when I'm working on the truck. Some people said it can cool down the garage drastically by itself. I'm currently testing this theory right now...

I got it setup next to the driver's door, blowing towards the rear of the garage/truck. Standing by the passenger tail light, I can still feel a good breeze and it's not insufferable, although still pretty warm. So we'll see how it goes...

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Working for the man and looking at stuff for car that i should not be

 

[Sparky]

Working extra late today. Have a bunch of network/system updates and upgrades to do after hours tonight. Hoping I won't be here too terribly late but you never know, last time I was here until 3 AM

 

[Stryker11]

Working solo now as my helper decided to take another job... No more lunches or days off for a while. Yay!!

 

[Blckshdw]

Being thankful I bought that HV fan and have a garage to tinker on the TB in, even if it's a little cramped and a challenge to park so I can open the doors on both sides.

A rain storm came in a bit earlier than forecast, and hit hard and fast!

Glad to stay dry, now I've got a load of laundry in, and some leftovers in the oven. Gonna press my shirt for tomorrow's interview after that, then chill on the couch for some DVR time.

 

[Mooseman]

After breakfast, heading down to Ogdensburg NY to pick up a ton of parts ordered to replace my cam and lifters. Probably will shop a little and have some lunch there.

 

[smt 59]

Checking in on the forum after not being here for a while. At work as well.

 

[$ Khalid ! 9130]

Fixing or trying to fix my mode door actuator on the TB

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

At work, but headed home in about 30 minutes

 

[Stryker11]

At work, doing some work, wating for the site to speed back up. All good now!

 

[Blckshdw]

Back at work. Had an interview this morning with a lead process analyst and director of special projects. Thought it went well. Spoke with my recruiter who found the gig for me at lunch time, she said feedback from the company was all positive and encouraging. They will wait to talk to HR who was out of the office today, before making a final decision but it sounds like it's pretty much a done deal. Fingers crossed!

 

[northcreek]

Replaced the damaged chrome "skid plate looking" piece on my wife new Equinox LTZ. Nice easy job on a hot day Mike.

 

[Mooseman]

Working on installing the stairs on the new deck after many interruptions.

 

[Stryker11]

Another day at work. Come on 5 o'clock....

 

[DAlastDON]

It is my free weekend from hanging out with mom at her house (were doing her elder care at home). Either going to the forecastle bourbon festival or maintenance on the envoy.

 

[littleblazer]

Replaced shocks on the vette and did a fuel filter change. Took way longer than it should have and everything fought me.

 

[DAlastDON]

Had a great time at the bourbon festival. Time to take a med that makes me sleepy so i had to come home. I may go back tomorrow.

 

[SnowBlazer]

Haven't been on for a bit but I did get fired from Zios Friday morning. I didn't do anything wrong, one of my floor managers lied his ass off in the manager notebook. My GM basically had to belive him over me since he's a manager. Spent the day trying to find a new job but it hasn't been easy.

 

[DAlastDON]

Im sorry to hear you lost your job like that. I bet the next gig you find will be better than zios.

That sux man. Sorry to hear that. Is it Zios the software program?

Thanks brotha! I'm trying to get out of the restaurant industry until I can leave for the Air Force.

That sux man. Sorry to hear that. Is it Zios the software program?

Nah, it's a midwest chain of restaurants. I worked there for two years up until Friday. It was my first job, walked out in tears. Mostly because it bothered me so much that someone would lie to get another man fired. Sad.

 

[Mooseman]

That sucks big time. Hope you find something soon.

 

[xavierny25]

@ work and trying to find a good deal on uca's and wheel hubs for the envoy.

 

[Sparky]

At work trying to get this blasted tablet system working again.

 

[SnowBlazer]

Well, I installed my new to me TCCM and that didn't cure my 4x4 issue at all. So I ordered a Doorman from O'riley that should be there around noon tomorrow. I also tried installing my light bar brackets and that didn't go well either.
Tomorrow's a new day, and we'll be back at it!

I also got calls for an initial interview at the Broadmoor Hotel (doesn't seem all that promising really) and an interview at the local King Soopers being a bagger/cart guy, which seems more promising.

Stay positive and aim high big dog! The goodies on the top branches taste a lot sweeter than the low hanging fruit does.

Thanks brotha! I really want the job at the Broadmoor. Mostly because employees are allowed to park in the underground parking garage.

Seriously though, who can say they've worked at a 5 star world renowned hotel? That's something that would look good on a resume

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

Working and looking at wheels n tires for the new car.

 

[SnowBlazer]

Pretending to work when really I'm looking at wheels n tires for the new car.

Fixed it for ya!

I'm going to go get a new dress shirt as mine has dissapeared in the past 24 hours. Also gotta pickup the 4x4 switch from Orliey and put my LED bar on...should be a good day!

 

[Mooseman]

Replacing the A/C compressor in my wife's '03 Accord. It's just the coil but it's tight in there to try and do it still connected and I have a whole compressor.

 

[Blckshdw]

Reading over the benefits packages and other goodies sent over by the new company since I accepted their offer today. So yeah, got that new gig, start in August.

 

[SnowBlazer]

Interviewed with the Broadmoor yesterday that went really well, so we'll see what they say. The lady said she has to send my interview over to the GM and he'll give me a call this upcoming week.

Today, I have an interview with Bass Pro so, we'll see how that goes.

 

[Sparky]

Putzing around until I head to Elkhart. Probably going to leave later than I originally planned because I'm puzting around more than I should be lol. Oh well!

FAIL! 3 out of 4 bolts were seized solid and of course, two of them were right behind the frame so not accessible by ratchet. Gave up and put it all back together. When I sat down in front of the car in disgust, I noticed that all the condenser fins were GONE! Only the crooked tubes were left but it held refrigerant. It would have been all for nothing.

 

[Matt]

Bottling beer, spreading more mulch around the garden, hanging fly traps etc etc.

 

[Sparky]

You SHOULD be in Elkhart

 

[Blckshdw]

Made a run to the grocery store, then hit up Harbor Freight for a deep well socket set, and some stepped drill bits since they were on sale with a coupon. Now at the crib, got some ground turkey and spicy ground sausage thawing out so I can make some spaghetti later.

Wish I could hit up the Elkhart meet (kinda far though ), I guess my inner meet bug is starting to feel fidgety. May put out some feelers about a fall bay area meet soon and see if I get any bites.
