Tommychu posted:Fuuuck. Rear knock sensor in beatertruck ('00 GMC 4.8) is not removable- the hex just went crunch and started spinning. There's too much mud and crap around to safely pull the valley pan, there's not really enough room to get any fun extraction tools in there, Google says I have to hammer and chisel it out fuel-sender-lock-ring-style but I'm not sure the stud is going to take much of that. Anyone know a trick for these? The knock sensors thread into a boss in the block, not the valley pan, anyway. You'd have to destroy the valley pan to get it off with a knock sensor in place. So yeah, destroying the knock sensor sounds like a better plan.

OK that makes sense. I'll head to work tomorrow and grab a couple chisels. Pretty sure I'm going to be snapping the sensor and drilling that stud out though, please tell me that's a blind hole

If there's any sense to how the engine's designed, it should be a blind hole, yes. It may even be necessary for it to be a blind hole for the knock sensing to work, i think? GM, though...

Goddamn. Mini rant here. Boss knew it was Memorial Day when he wrote the schedule - knew it well enough that he took the week off. But didn't know it well enough to know he should schedule extra staff. We got demolished, and it was just me as a driver, and a fresh-out-of-training shift manager who was in tears at one point from all the angry customers calling and demanding to know why it's taking so long. 23 deliveries in 5.5 hours, and those deliveries covered portions of 4 different cities.  The only bit of my normal morning prep I got done was taking out the trash (usually I also make all the pastas for the day, make pizza sauce, and prep wings), then the poo poo hit the fan. I got the gently caress out of there once the evening drivers showed up, no way in hell was I staying for more of that (I stayed late as it is, and I wasn't about to tell the closing manager I didn't have IOP due to the holiday). Made some decent coin, but I was already feeling like poo poo from not eating all day.Can't wait for my new phone to show up. This phone did somewhat redeem its shittiness a little though - the battery was only down to 28% when I left work, after using Google Maps all day. Nearly 3 hours of screen-on time, that's pretty impressive (then again, I guess it doesn't take much to power a 3.5" LCD). The N5 would have been recharged at least once and already almost dead again after that much use. I left work an hour and a half ago, and made a few calls since then, and it's only down to 25% now. It has an adorable little 1500 mAh battery in it... InitialDave posted:Yeah, but that's with a cup of tea (six sugars) in one hand and a bacon buttie in the other, yelling "ORRIGHT LUV" at a female corner marshal as you swerve to stop that minicab wanker behind you from overtaking.

(directed to the thread in general) Wix/OEM/anything-but-Fram? They're all within a few $ of each other. I generally use OEM or Purolator, whichever happens to be on the shelf at WalMart. Since my car uses a cartridge filter instead of a spin-on canister, I thought I'd try Fram - there's nowhere for cardboard in my filter, and no drainback valve for them to gently caress up, so I thought it was worth a shot. When I pulled it out during the next oil change, the filter had collapsed in on itself.

They're all within a few $ of each other. Wix are p. good for the price. O'reilly's house brand is actually made by wix at the same plant and is a few bucks cheaper normally (disclaimer, I work for the green monster so my preference is biased. I still use wix over our house brand though). Bosch, Mobil 1 and the like are all a small step up in quality, K&N is shiny poo poo for magpie minds and not worth the price despite the nut on base of the regular filters being a p. awesome thing. There are some royal purple filters if you just wanna toss your money into the trash.

Okay so the previous owner on my bus thought duct tape was the right way to go for wiring. Also he directly wired 12v to the antenna line (intentionally, used a spade connector and homemade adapter and everything), which explains why the radio didn't work anyway. This is getting interesting.

If someone killed my dog I would probably go on a similar rampage. I miss my Anna Banana stinky butt every drat day. Her leash and collar are hanging from my window blinds. Trip report. Been over a week since I stopped smoking weed. Weekday nights and all day on the weekends are boring as poo poo. Luckily my Xanax script and booze helps me fall asleep. Emailed my resume to a few local companies today that do what I do. I'm just sick of making literally half of what my old job paid with no bennies at all. Give me $20/hr, a service van, a 401K and health bennies and I will bust my rear end everyday. So depressing. Super Aggro Crag fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Sep 8, 2015 |

Enourmo posted:drat, I didn't realize they made schedules that far in advance.    They're  supposed to be written at least a week in advance, and posted by Thursday (our workweek ends on Monday night). In reality, they usually get written Thursday or Friday, and posted Friday or Saturday.Still a serious fuckup on his part, and he's going to have to answer to both his boss and the owner. Unfortunately, the opening manager will also have to answer to them, as I took two triples today (that's a huge no-no). Both of them meant the 3rd customer got their order a good 20-30 minutes earlier than they would have if I had to drive all the way back to the store, since I was already in their area, but the orders were still late as poo poo. I'll probably have to answer to them as well, since one of them was dispatched using my password. We have a huge delivery area, so when I took triples, it just so happened that the first 3 orders were going the same direction, and were all lined up along one road (... just split across 2 cities). Since our delivery area is so big, we're budgeted labor for 1 driver for 3 deliveries per hour (corporate owned stores tend to have denser areas, and budget for 1 driver/4 deliveries per hour). I whacked 6 deliveries in an hour at least once today (according to the computer), and averaged 4 per hour through my entire shift, including the time I was in the store. I've hit 7 per hour once at this store, which had both the owner and area coach asking my boss "how the hell did he do that?". mariooncrack posted:Do you not have a car charger? I like to keep a power bank like this on hand: I did have one, but it crapped out. My head unit has a USB connection, but it only puts out something like 250mA. Something so silly that it can't even get the lovely ZTE phone to charge. And the battery pack I was talking about is very similar to that - it's also Anker. http://www.amazon.com/Anker-10000mAh-Portable-External-Technology/dp/B009USAJCC/ I don't leave home without either that or a smaller ~2500 mAh no-name version.

Two of the triples I saw as "has to be done, otherwise everything else gets kicked back at least 30 minutes". The third I had lined up because I knew it would work, but we were caught up enough that the opening manager was like "no, hell no, I'm already going to get an rear end chewing as it is". Worked out for the best, they hosed up the order badly enough that it took TWO remakes to get it right (the 3rd try was coming out of the oven as I walked in the door). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 02:31 on Sep 8, 2015 |

Your area sounds like it's a lot nicer. Mine is about half 70s starter homes, the rest is really wide spread out stuff. Lots of former farmland (and current farmland). Covers primarily east Allen, part of Lucas, most of Parker, and a tiny tiny part of Plano. We're giving serious thoughts to actually moving the store - the current store is old as hell (closing in on 30 years old), and poo poo is constantly breaking. It's also at the far western edge of our delivery area. We'd love to build a new store right in the center, once they finish some roads nearby. That will also allow us to serve all of Parker and most, if not all, of Lucas, instead of parts. I'd say 90% of our orders are east of the store anyway, very very little goes north or west (and the western boundary of our delivery area is less than 1 mile away). If it does move, it'll probably be in a year or so. I really do like the orders way out to the eastern border of our area, even though it's a long drive - it's all flat here, but it gets me out of the city and into a half step above rural stuff. 2 lane roads with lots of curves, get a good look at the lakes while I'm driving on those roads too. e: if I remember, I'll do a west to east video tomorrow when I go to pick up my paycheck. It goes from suburban to "burger stand in front of a ranch that also sells fresh steaks" to "hey cletus, you want some worms for that there fishin line? I got some chikin fried steak from yesterday too" pretty quick. I've never seen a street go from 2M+ houses to 30+ year old mobile homes in a block before working here

Covers primarily east Allen, part of Lucas, most of Parker, and a tiny tiny part of Plano. Not really, most of the area was first laid down in the 70's and 80's with a bit more construction in the 90's. Farther north of here is where most of the recent construction has been. Once you cross north of county line, it gets kinda desolate until you hit the crystal river area, then it just turns into farmland once you pass SR 44. SR 50 is basically the northern limit of the tampa/st pete sprawl. Its kinda terrifying how quickly it goes from fairly developed suburbs to ranchettes and dirt roads.

I've done a ton of deliveries in a short amount of time before, but I'm not sure what my delivery per hour rate is. I do know that there are days where I'm not in the store more than 30 minutes out of an 8 hour shift. AI: Content - I deliver parts More AI: Started watching Narcos. I'm pretty sure there's a 83-86ish Ford in a parking garage in a scene that takes place in 1979.

Yes, but about 5 minutes later you're cheering for the hellish shitfest Wick rains down and it doesnt matter anymore. TBH it's the basest of audience manipulation and normally that's stupid. Not in this case - in John Wick it's simple and it puts you square in Wicks corner in lusting for bullet flying revenge. There's simple and then there's well executed. Wick is one of the truly rare examples of when both happen.
