spoken like a homeowner that's had tree problems ;) I don't like them next to a house either. Had 2 "incidents" before

Yes, Barnbuster, you are correct. The neighborhood where I had my previous home was plagued with tree problems . It seemed every home property had serious tree problems. If I were to ever be a homeowner again , one of the criteria I would look for would be no trees on the outside property at all. Trees Only allowed in the house.;):weed:

We are not allowed to use potable water to wash cars due to the drought.
We just had a rain shower, I was outdoors with a cloth and car soap.
I'm sweaty and wet to the bone but I can see the car again.

I have a little tip. If the black plastics and rubber on your car start looking faded, take a bit of baby oil on a cloth and wipe it down. It will clean out the dirt and refresh the plastic and vinyl without getting everything glossy and oily looking. You can use it in and outside of the car. Dryer plastics like the dash will absorb it faster so it may need a second coat a few days later to just top up those spots.... Also, it makes your car smell nice.

My wife likes to wash the car in the rain. I've done it a few times myself.

Yeah, there's no safety rules at this place. Don't have to wear glasses, can smoke anytime/anywhere in the shop. It's a small mom and pop place and they don't really give a shit about much as long as you're a good worker. Kinda the reason I like this place, it's very chill. Only one shift and I work from 8- 4:30, never any overtime and they don't keep track of attendance as long as you don't abuse it. Pay is pretty competitive for this area too.

Hmmmm. I know of a place just like that.

To be honest, I had a bit of Déjà vu looking at the pic.

I've been working on this POS S10 Blazer i got stuck with, for 3 days now. Had to replace the wiper/ high beam/ directional switch. Everything in this truck is wired thorough that damn thing. High beams didn't work, emergency flashers didn't work but it was clicking all the time, brake lights were on all the time, horn didn't work unless you hit the directional lever..Fucked up design. Then I had to fix the hvac flapper that the actuator arm broke off of. Everything i read said the dash needed to come out, they were wrong. A hooked pick and long screwdriver pried the arm off, I epoxied it back together, smoked a bowl while it dried, then was able to maneuver it into position and clip it back on with some long needle nose pliers.

Went to pull it out and clean it yesterday and popped the main brake line to the rear, :wall::cuss:. Bent up a new line, got it installed and couldn't get any pressure to the rear. WTF? Found a cracked fitting that was leaking, replaced it ands still no rear brakes. After hours trying to bleed it, I pulled the master cylinder thinking it was bad, even though it was dry. I flushed the reservoir, which was filthy, pulled the piston out of it and other than being a little dirty, it's fine. Then I hit the drain pan I was working in, flipped it over and covered myself in used brake fluid...:finger: So now I'm smoking another bowl, then I'm going to go put it back together, bench bleed the master, then work my way through bleeding the system again and hope I get brakes. I need to move this thing and make a few bucks, but all this BS work is eating my profit.

LOL Try that on a human, replace their aortic valve and everything south starts leaking once you've pressured the f'n system. So then it's goretex and more goretex LOL at least you can take a break we had to stick with the mother until he was off the table. Then what does he do? Takes up smoking again.......

Is this one of the s10s that you have to hook a scan tool up to get the abs mod to open passages so you can bleed it?
