The Official Status Update Thread: Part 93- Global Warming on my Driveway

Im always here for you brother, bend over, close your eyes, and wait for it.

Uhhhhhhh.....

Plus you get the satisfaction of getting down and greasy. I do my own work unless it involves reading something highly technical, then I give my landlord some beer and have him do it.

Getting greasy doesn't matter much to me - I help my friends with their cars and stuff - did an engine swap in a '67 mustang recently.

I've just not got much experience where it's just me and I don't have somebody there to advise me if I have a question but Google is a wonderful thing!

I did re-do the PVC for my sump pump a few weeks ago .

Judas Priest was actually great live! Of course all pale compared to early KISS live!

Thanks . I'm not super handy but I'm learning!

Going to start doing my own oil changes on all 3 vehicles.

I make enough money and my time is so scarce that I've always had the mindset, 'I'll pay those that are good at the job, to do the job, while I allocate my important time elsewhere.' I realized after a while that sitting ~1 hour at the dealer wastes more of my time than doing it myself in ~15 minutes.

Ordered the stuff off Amazon - have a prime account so it saves me the ~$3 in gas it would cost me to drive to the auto parts store... 13 MPG is no joke .

We roll through all 3 vehicles in the same day or weekend if we can.....rotate tires spring and fall. Tune ups, belt changes and most all maint except exhaust. Put wheel bearing on the front of the 4WD GMC recently.
Stay with it, get the tools.

Satisfaction of taking care of a problem with you own two hands.

Saw kiss 2 times as headliners but went to see Bob Seager open for them once and Kansas another time.

Admittedly I did the PVC 3 times [total cost was like... $60 including the tools/adhesive/primer/etc]. I now have a solid understanding of how to properly assemble something out of PVC which is a plus .

If I had to do it again - I could do it for ~$10 probably.

Mellancamp in the Bluebird, unannounced. Best show I ever saw. No crowd, he rocks, just can't handle his politics.

My favorite concert was Frank Zappa. That was great. Before I die (or before he dies) I want to see Neil Young. Widespread Panic is another one I want to see.

Best way to learn is having it cost more money than it should. Makes you do a little homework before you dive into it

First time around - I only primed the fittings and not the pipes - let's just say I had some leaks... and I had a joint that came completely apart [under pressure, while pumping]... I knew I was supposed to prime both - but for some reason... I forgot.

I went from dry to soaked in about 0.00032 seconds.

I think anyone that has done PVC has had that happen to them .
