The New “What did you do with your Z today” (with off topic replies) XXXIX

NissanTracker · 04-18-2021, 10:50 PM

What a damn day. So i planned to install my oil catch cans for the 370, but my daily (2004 Toyota Rav4 @ 32K miles, but a rust bucket) decided to freeze a caliper a couple weeks back and i did C.P.R on it and the rear passenger side heated up big time... AGAIN! Turns out, e-brake cable was frozen. Probably why the caliper failed....

So... in order to replace e-brake cables on this... have to drop the gas tank. Phuck that. I just cut the old e-brake cable and routed a new one. Knowing this thing sat and just rusted... i PB blasted and heated any bolt I had to remove.. Summary... Had to re tap 5 bolts. Well, i then find out that the rear spring is cracked! Snapped a control arm bolt and now have to tow this P.O.S to get it extracted.

Anywhooo....

I drove mine too. Not as much fun as you but I was told my nephew loved how it sounded as I left. He's only 10 so it's a solid review

One area I drive there is one home off the road at the back of a field. I always wonder if they here and see me coming. I am getting all of it. LOL

Morning all.

Heading to check on dad in a few. Talked to the nurse and it sounds like getting fluids in him helped. They are giving him anti nausea in the iv so fingers crossed i can get him to eat today.

Going to try another coffee at the dunkin on the way. The top half was pretty tasty yesterday but the bottom was all grounds :shakeshead: everyone is incompetent and it's getting rapidly worse. And to think they want $15 an hour to not be able to run hot water over ground up beans correctly.

You know you can go to IRS.gov, type 'withholding calculator' in the search bar, and figure out how much you have to withhold so you don't owe the Feds. I double check every year to make sure I stay in the +/- $100 range.
