If you don't curse at stuff how does it come off?

They must not use salt on your roads...

I definitely don't curse!! We don't use too much salt. Usually I use liquid wrench starting 24 hours in advance and pray.

That's the way to do it. Penetrating fluid and anti seize come out of my tool box before wrenches do...

A tip from an old guy, take transmission fluid and mix it 50/50 with acetone and put it in an old oil can or squirt bottle. Better penetrating fluid than anything you can buy.

Looking good. Doing everything right by cleaning stuff up.

Lol. I don't like messes.

Never work on your truck tired or angry... Do that at your real job...

I still have times where I hear my dad's voice in my head say "stop and calm down before going back to fixing it".

He was a smart guy.

Pictures look good. You were overdue for this project.

Sorry I tuned out for a while. Had to go somewhere. Then, the restaurant I stopped at was in a basement in a hilly town. Absolutely no cell service during dinner. Cute waitress though and the guy playing guitar was doing covers of old rock songs in kind of a mellow style. He's good.

 

[Dirtman]

He was a smart guy.

Most dad's are. You just don't realize this until your early thirties because you're too busy being right all the time... If I took all my dad's advice as a kid I'd be a millionaire and 100 steps ahead in life. And he knows it, and I know it.

You think you're smarter than your dad? Not possible... That man knows shit.

 

[Dirtman]

Remember the first time you stood up to your dad like ok we are fighting? Normally you get beat but you decide I'm gonna fight back? Come on you all got that one "dad" day where you throw hands?

That was the day I learned hard that you don't mess with decorated, 3 tour, veitnam vet. I got drop kicked in like a second and had no clue what happened.

 

[Dirtman]

He's 74 now and Im still terrified of him... He relaxed alot but we do argue... I'm always worried the man is gonna clock me at any moment. I think I could take him now, maybe...

My father frequently recommends insurance fraud as a solution for most problems.

 

[Curious Hound]

Never had one of those days with my dad. We had disagreements. But I never wanted to punch him. I dont6even remember any specific disagreements with him.

Seriously.... fists were like hugs in my house. My dad beat me if I left the cap off a marker. I don't have kids because I'm afraid of being my father. No kid deserves that. I am a grand uncle, and treat all me nieces and nephews (oldest is 25 now with her own 2 kids that's how I'm a grand uncle). Like gold. I buy them anything.
