Perusing Google Street View. Check out the sweet, modern wares at this computer shop, especially that rockin' monitor on the left.

I must have missed an epic K-mart thread
.On another note myself as well as some other members have been causing hate a discontent on the GMT Facebook page. I think I enjoyed it way to much.

LOL, well long story short. Timothy posted about replacing his ball joints and hubs and there was several comments about various times, and other user experience with the various components. This morning (at least for me, must have been 1pm) a guy posted about his experience. What is special about this is that the guy (we will call him JB) claims that he had the steering knuckle assembly and various components from other trucks. JB claims it came from a 00' Blazer, which most of us (for those that dont I will ad a photo) know would require insane amount of fabrication let alone make the use of GMT parts impossible. Well he felt called out by several comments which went off into pointing out inconsistencies in not only his story but the basic theory behind why it could not work.
Fast forward to a comment from a member who called out the BS when his thread was first posted about 5 months ago, same thing ensued with the banter and him getting upset that we did not believe his story. We asked for photos and they could not produced as he had already removed everything and taken it to the scrap yard. So some more trying to explain why it could not work, some cussing from JB and the promise to leave the page forever. He comes back asks why are we picking on him, why does no one believe him and blah, blah, blah. More back tracking, changes in story etc. We finally get to a point where he gives in and says he works on HMMWV's and tanks in DE. From the research I did the companies he listed do not have manufacturing facilities in DE, they are in MI and Indiana. Maybe a parts facility, but not the plants.
Its been 3 hours with no sign of JB.
Pic with jack stands is from my truck, the other is of a 00' Blazer. Not even remotely close.

Woke up to no heat in half the house. Wife is mad I'm not calling in, probably rightfully so! Needs a fuse, then we'll see what popped it. Yeah, our old house still has one round screw in fuse, and it's on the heater. I should've made it a breaker when I put that furnace in 10 years ago..........

Must be nice. I'm sitting here because I called in. Can't get up the 8% grade to get out of town - even tried following a plow truck. There's a good stretch of straight road, then a curve to the right, another smaller stretch, then a curve left... couldn't quite make it to the first curve. Probably doesn't help that I'm trying to scrape things together to get my 4x4 done up, this is one of the few times I would use it. Recently bit the dust, have a post on it around here somewhere
Then add in the rest of everything else I'm trying to get done in an 8 hour period...

Putting in a 12 hour shift that went from 0-60 in no time right when I punched in. I much prefer a slow start to Mondays.

Doing a bit of 
I was away for about 30 minutes or less, in the mean time the city plowed my spot, but then some random car took my spot. I'm sure I know what the car is for, there's a small home across the way that's used as a care place for a "special" individual, the spot on front of that house was clear enough but I guess not good enough for the standards of an Aveo owner.

Just take all the snow that was pushed up to make my parking spot appear so precious, and put it back where it was.
Go to a fast food joint and grab two food trays and put them under the aveo's front wheels. Push that fawker out of the way. be surprised how easy it will move

I'm not a thief type, or a "borrower" type if you want to use a so-called light term.
However, there is about a foot-tall drift behind, and a good 18 inches in front, as wide as the car and pretty deep. I just wish I could be up late enough to hear the cursing.

Update: Removed a LITTLE from the back side as a precaution, I have no clue who the person is so they could be psycho, but I DID manage to squeeze my TB between their car and the G6 Got about 2 feet of room on either side, the giant pile in front of the Aveo was my indicator on when to stop reversing so it worked out! No way I'm staying parked down the street, incidentally in front of the house the Aveo owner works at. I can see tire tread marks where they pulled up in front of their work house (which means it was plenty cleared), then deliberately flopped their little silver tin can into my spot. Last time it happened, that car ended up sitting there for like 4 days (a little further rearward, but still kept guests from parking in front of our lot).

I have an LG 700G "feature" phone, the word feature is a relatively loose term
night pictures don't do so well, even with night mode enabled, and it has no flash. If it's not right under a street light I can't capture it lol- Status
