Good night everyone. I am Juking it down to Long Beach (420 miles) tomorrow at o'dark thirty with the Mrs. and our dogs. We are going to spend the weekend with Mom and Dad (while he still knows who we are). Not a nice way to go, that Alzheimer's.

With the proper tools, the "demon bolt" is not difficult at all.

Sweet ******* jesus.

All you need is (all in 1/2" drive...): a 3' long extension, a good breaker bar, a good 2-3' pole to put OVER the breaker bar to extend it, a good swivel, and a 6-point impact socket. I had Blades put his hand underneath the extension (so I didnt smush his plastic inside the engine bay), added the pole, pulled, and snap. Both broke with, really, minimal effort. Mine came out intact, even.

The mileage means nothing, it's all in how you approach them. Who cares if they break in the end, anyway? lol

Oh, I hope they didnt charge you obscene labor for that circus :-p

( Click to show/hide )

About two weeks ago I went to an opthamologist because for a month prior, my right eye (good eye) was watering up and not properly draining. They ran a test for blocked tear ducts, she said it was negative and gave me some drops thinking it was just irritation. I used the drops for a week. The day after I stopped the drops, I woke up and realized that I couldn't see as far as I used to. My eye is still watering up too. For the last few days, I've felt sinus pressure around the eye and today I can feel pressure all over my forehead. Today my vision seems worse than yesterday. I've been looking online for answers about this stupid drug. A doctor on a message board says that my symptoms worry him and that the drug should be out of my system by now and no longer affecting my vision. So, $190 later, I've got ruined vision and she wants me to come back on the 26th for another follow up.

I went to a regular physician twice before the optician. The first time they found a scratch on said eye and gave me an antibiotic to use for a week. Well watery eye was STILL there so she said it could be a blocked tear duct, so go home and do some hot compresses and massage it, I need to refer you to a specialist.

Hey Pint, I just pm'd you.

You didn't use the pole brush that they supply (complete with the dirt of a thousand cars), did you?

Good morning all!
