Z is driving again

Forgot to put on the styrofoam bumper reinforcement, but that's ok because I didn't have the upper radiator shroud handy, which means I'll have to take the bumper off again anyway.

Need to find a new RH air guide. Dealer wants $70 for one

I think I might try to shoot a coat of Racing Red from Prismatic over the white. They say to use the silver base but it cant hurt to try it out.

I pulled into a full parking lot at the office with the Z

Thankfully my uphill spot in the shade with the extra 5 foot aisle was available. They are installing 5G and tearing up the sidewalk out in front of the lot. I had quick conversation with the workers and the parking lot went from 7 cars to 3 cars

It came out quite pink. would need another coat to make it look better. I grabbed another piece of metal laying around (coilover spanner) and just tried straight up racing red on polished steel. Its currently baking.

This is kinda addicting and fun. I can already see a bunch of crap around the house thats gonna get sprayed that has no business being sprayed.

I'm going to be mailing you a box of parts to be coated along with a prepaid return label. I'll wait until you get a bit more experience though

That is a great idea! There is fingerprints on the parts and I dropped the tow hook once already after baking. Theres more screw ups too.

I can probably send plenty of practice items too if you find yourself running out of things to coat

Working late every night, studying on what the errors are, and then doing it again the following day. All for less money than the previous techs who left made. This job was great for the first year when I had actual help and others to work along side. Then they left and I am solely in charge of it all. Back right where I started.

Susan is getting mad at me because I am working more than being able to spend time with her. My mental strength is basically shot from just the amount of talks happening. And when I tell the lovely doctors that I am constantly depressed or stressed out, I just get told to suck it up.

Just a crappy day. Good little vent. I'll go eat a bagel and hopefully be in a happier mood.
I like these doctors...

tell me, when they tell you to suck it up, do they say dude on the end???

Let's at least put someone smart into office who can lie to my face so i believe it. Idc if it's dem or rep. Bring back the good ole' days when a compromised email server was the worst worry in the world.
i actually agree with you. 100%

You ever have a crane tip over on site.

Watched one go over at Ashland oil refinery in Canton Ohio. A big DeMag. They was lifting a big azz piece for a cracker unit. Almost had it in place. That set the outage back a month.
