To get the old ball joint nut off I ran into a problem. When I turn the nut, the shaft turned with it.
I use my angle grinder to slice a hole through the top of the nut and the spindle post of the joint.
I wobble the joint around and it actually feels good.
The problem was someone probably didn't tighten the nut tight enough and the lower hole in the cast spindle is wallowed out.
So I'm still going to need a new lower joint but now I need a new spindle.
My unhappy Friday is getting worse.

I'm amazed they allow people to stand right alongside the road. I'm even more amazed that people would actually stand beside the road.

I donated 200 sq ft of carpet tile that I’ll never find a place for if that counts !He did them probono.
I believe its the 4th July coming up for you guys
Anybody doing anything exciting while I go to work trying to unroll a roll of commercial type vinyl then lay it. Its blo...dy cold here of about 4C without wrecking the walls in a toilet block. Could be a short day and I go home telling them to warm up the building

That sounds pretty damn nice to me. I bet they were happy campers.
Happy Fourth of July.
This video has nothing to do with the 4th of July but it puts a smile on your face.
.....see?

If that one doesn't, this one will.
I'm thinking my neighbors didn't like to hear that sound blasting through my walls into theirs years ago.

Drove to Phoenix. The van is a champ. The tires can’t handle the heat. In their defense they do have a snowflake symbol on them. Lol. Guess I’m gettin a new set tomorrow that won’t melt on me.

Those are your Coopers? I ruined some Goodyear tires, my Michelin Agilis I’ve read some bad reviews about longevity, the rears are chopping the reverse of yours on the inside, mine the full width, brought it to tire kingdom and asked for someone who knows a lot about tire wear. He said maybe too much tongue weight, I’m thinking too fast starts from all the red lights blocking my progress. So I’ll rotate them to wear evenly on the front.
that’s a lot of drivin from NC to AZ, you ain’t too old for that S#/+?

BF Goodrich’s. I never get the life out of them that I should even in colder climates but I didn’t think they would completely die on the trip. They are a softer compound and it is July and I did have some weight in the van so what did I expect! I was even rotating them religiously n everything. At least I got 20k out of them. I say that like it’s a good thing.
On the plus side I did see almost 17mpg from Memphis to Little Rock.
And yes, I am too old for this ****. The saving grace to age is I was smart enough to turn off the AC while climbing through the desert. You’re not gonna see me on the side of the road with my hood up!

Rentals not available?
I might be here for a while so I wanted my van so I have my tools to F around with. Build **** while the old man is in the hospital. And If he needs any medical equipment or whatever then I have my van. Or maybe it was the beaded seat cover. Lol
His brother is exceptional on the guitar.
.....
The little girl is just living life and she's goofy as hell. She's kind of become the star of the show.
That said she knows every move every note every word...... She acts goofy but when her time comes to shine she really shiny.
In this video she doesn't stand out front and be the star of the show. They visited this guy's guitar shop at another time. I'll try and dig that video up. The boy with a guitar is phenomenal.
Dang with a quick search it was easy to find. They've only been to norman's, twice. This is the first time.
@Mark Brown don't mock the magical powers of the beaded seat cover. There’s a reason cabbies love them. I almost drove the car. Kinda wishin I woulda but it doesn’t have cruise control either. You know I sure as hell was gonna put the seat cover in there for the trip.
The only ReStore near me closed down. Big bummer on that one.
The whole spiel about us only using 10% of our brains is a myth.
I'm currently trying to type with a cat who keeps getting up in my face and touching my face with his paws. He's been fed so he just wants attention.
Saturday I got up somewhat early. Mom wanted me to take her to the store, which was unusual. She picked out some tv dinners.
Later on we went to meet my cousin in Lafayette. She had her oldest daughter, youngest son, new son-in-law (no one was told about the wedding-- it was a private justice of the peace affair). I don't think my cousin's ex knows his daughter is married-- but it's none of his business after how he treated her. He was verbally and emotionally abusive to my cousin and both of the girls. His father was actually there too-- the whole purpose of the trip was so my cousin's daughter could introduce her husband to her grandfather. He's a very nice man and we can't for the life of us figure out how his son turned out to be such a turd. But then we remembered the son was raised by his mother and the parents were divorced. I swear the ex gives off serial killer vibes. The neighbors apparently thought so because they bought my cousin a Ring camera to put on her door out of fear her ex would try to kill her. My cousin's oldest had gone no-contact with her father. He would probably blow a gasket about her marrying a Hispanic guy because he's supreme racist. He once talked about how he thought we should just shoot all the Hispanic people within 100 miles of the border. I'm sure my cousin is counting down the days to her youngest child's 18th birthday so she will never again have to read an e-mail or correspond with her vile ex. I'm sure her daughter will be happy to never have to speak with him again. She's terrified of him. But she's too terrified to go to court to ask to not have to be forced to go visit him. She's afraid he'll kill her and/or her mother. Anyway, the son-in-law is a very sweet and intelligent young man.
Sunday was a sad day though. Got a call that the woman who was like a grandmother to me passed away. We were the first people the son called. All of her other friends already passed away. She would have been 97 this month if she'd made it to the 28th. We were hoping to visit her for her birthday. Just mentioned it to our cousin the day before. Still waiting for the burial arrangements to be made so we can pay our respects. I was closer with her than to my own grandparents.
Meanwhile, it's hot as hell outside so I'm staying inside.
