Hit a fuckin pot hole of 400 on the way home and blew a tire. Had to change it on the inside median with cars shooting by at 70. Drinking now.

Inside median of 400? Wowser. I bet you had to toss your underwear when you got home! 

I was debating calling a tow truck but decided to keep my man card. I will say I have never changed a tire so fast. I would guess 8-10 minutes from getting the spare out of the trunk till car back on the ground. 

I've always wondered what I would do if I blew a tire on the Freeway.  I'd probably call a tow truck.  It's not that I couldn't change a tire (I've never once had someone else change my oil in any of my vehicles and will wrench on them when I can) but it's that the tow truck service is built into my insurance.  I just don't know what I would do.  I mean you could change out 3 tires before someone comes out with a truck.  I want the truck more less for the damn cherrys on top.  I'll change the tire out but I dont trust the other idiot drivers around me. Especially with them talking and texting with phones.  It's maybe different with me owning a motorcycle and constantly watching other drivers.  I'm glad it went well for you.  That's something I've always pondered...

I will do anything (that is not suicidal) to change my tire if it blows.  Ain't no spare on my car, so I call.  And I did a few months ago - got a sidewall puncture on a sh*tty new orleans road.

Must be tough mowing on such a steep hill.

This was from earlier during my workday.

Dig the concentration. LoL this wasn't supposed to be a selfie but, was focusing on a leaking boiler blow off valve & leaking black iron pipe work. 



And had to change out an evaporator and condensing coil (both less than 18 months old--- gotta love the salt air...job security). 

And OBTW the roof was well over a 110℉. Crazy Hot Today.

Um, if you're taking a selfie, you're not concentrating or focusing.  
 By the way, you take more on the job selfies than anyone I've ever met...excluding whores and strippers of course.

I've taken to wearing a hair net to work recently.  People think it's weird because I just sit in front of a computer.  Whatever.  I tell them it's actually a faraday cage made from strings of nano-particles, and it keeps my hair from clogging up the keyboard.  Then they go away.  Some days l like my job.

@nolaegghead ... well sure they walk away ... probably shaking their head too.  Everyone knows that a traditional, head applied, faraday cage has to be made out of heavy duty aluminum ... geez.

BTW ... if you want to store a spare key in your vehicle - one of those, keep it in your pocket when you start the car keys - then an aluminum foil faraday box works perfect.  The auto can't "see" the key, thus none of that "hey idiot, you left a key in the car" horn beeping.

Soooo.... You have any examples Caz?  Please share those selfies.   


Now, when B-Lake-E starts taking selfies and placing his hand on hip or surprised look or duck lips, I am out!

I am betting he meant to take a picture of the part he was working on an accidentally took a selfie. 

Because...ya know...his phone is always in selfie mode :P.

Getting ready for a spec review and complete a quote take-off... Couple hundred pages of specs and about a hundred pages of drawings.  Fun, fun, fun....

Our gov't can defeat the typical nano particle hair net.  You need something more substantial.  I personally use an old knights helmet.

Just catching up on this thread. Rickie put on a show on the back 9 at the Players. Never been a huge fan, but nice to see him win big after being labeled as overrated.

Just came in from the garage. I am rebuilding a 1937 Ford Tudor Sedan from the frame up. Going to be a Street Rod when I am done with it..

Waiting patiently on a guy that is supposed to start working on my 65 Chevrolet C10 truck.

On the tablet right now, but when I get home I will post a pic or two if I can figure it out.
