Anything grind your gears today?
 

So I have a radio in the bathroom to jam tunes when I shower. I turn it on and college hockey is being broadcast on the college radio station. Screw that, so I turn to my back-up, classic rock which I guess to be playing Alice Cooper but it's on commercial. I hop in the shower and after the ads country starts playing, and it wasn't even good old-school stuff it was modern. WTH!!!! They changed formats! So here I am lathering with blood pouring out of my eardrums and I can't even sing along. Suck it 105.9!

PS, Shout out to Dr Johnny! Haven't seen you posting. You radio people have a lot of gall. :cuss:

I went to Costco bought everything for a nice tri tip BBQ. Came home put the shit away, seasoned one tri tip and put the other one in the freezer. Buttered, seasoned and wrapped the corn in foil. Peeled about 5 taters for mash potatoes, chopped and placed in water on the stove. Cracked open an ice cold Newcastle before I lit the fire. I go out to my patio and BOOM no ****ing charcoal. I stood motionless, like it was there. Kept blinking but nothing. Nothing worse then having to leave when you're all settled in.

Thoughts and prayers.

Thank you so much means a lot

This should have been a prayer thread.

So, I'd never even heard of a tri-tip until last year. Good stuff! What's weirder than me never having heard of tri-tip was that I watched an ep of Married with Children the other day and they talked about having a tri-tip in the fridge. Spooky.

I was really ****ing pissed off until my mechanic decided not to charge me $350 for another "new" alternator he supposedly "replaced" a busted one 3 months ago.

The fact that I've never seen a costco grinds my gears

How is this possible?

I dunno. I'm not in cattle country. My family always just ate "steak."

Back the first week of December I register for my classes. Got it validated and everything was ready to go. So come last week I go to the bookstore, on campus, and give them my schedule and they give me my books.
Went to classes and one of the professors has quit so I have a different professor. This new professor has a different book. Of course she will not work with me on the book I have which is one edition different. I was like this sucks but oh well. It starts snowing so they cancel classes for the rest of the day. So I show up for classes and everything is going along fine until my last class of the day. Of course a different teacher that requires a different book. Go to see my advisor to find out that she has already left for the day. Anyway come to find out that my original professor is now teaching only online. So the registrar just put me into this other seated class.
I can understand things change, shit happens and so on. What I can't understand is that the college in all their infinite wisdom couldn't even think to send me an email to notify me of these circumstances so that I am not blind sided by them.
Especially when 4 USED books cost my $680.00.

I'm pissed off that I can't buy any of those cars at the Barrett-Jackson auction.

I let my water boil too long and most evaporated and I only had a half cup of coffee this morning. I was a little butt hurt about it.

I am working with my bosses son
the asshole takes credit for all that goes right
and none that goes wrong

and of course he gets paid more than I do
and dad asks me if he is to hard on the boy

the ****er spend most of the day in the shitter or on the web looking for the gun he wants dad to buy him

I heard of it a couple years ago. Never knew about it. Friend explained that tri tip is Californian for BBQ.

No football tomorrow grinds my gears. They should do 1 game sat and 1 game sun. What am I supposed to watch tomorrow now?

Alternators are annoying to deal with. And if you're not careful it'll end up costing you a new battery as well.

Watch the Barrett-Jackson auction it's on for 10 hours tomorrow live.

Unless you don't like cars.

Wow 10 hours, that's a lot of auctioning

5 Hundred thousand dolla dolla dolla two dolla dolla dolla gimmi da to dolla now six six six lol

They installed a "new" alternator to replace the "new" one that went haywire recently. Apparently. So we'll see how long this "new" one lasts.

Fortunately Wal Mart is good about replacing batteries so I got a new battery and alternator for free. Pretty good day all things considered.

Why the **** are you taking your car to Walmart?

Most people do these days.

Then they deserve whatever problems that result from it.

Yeah I think that's where he ****ed up. It's possible for a new part to be defective though. I use to manage a parts store. It happens more than you'd think.

:spock:

is the new teacher good looking?

I got the battery there, that's all.

Something wrong with that?

local mechanic does the work.

Misunderstood you, I thought you were having them repair your car.

Not particularly.

dude
walmart?
diehard or interstate
same warranty , less likely to use them

Are DieHards worth a damn anymore? Seems everything Sears sells is crap these days.

no , it doesn't I learned to get napa parts
****ing autozone, o'reilly. andf checker suck ass

\i toook a bettery to autozone to be tested the guy told me it reversed polarity, and that happend all the time
told him red goes to plus

Funny you should say that. Where did I have my first tri-tip? California.

And, I hear you. For being the dead of winter, TV is crap right now!

God damn that's a funny... FUNNY movie.

you know what grind my gears chief cheerleader they won't let the public vote to pick the cheerleaders we want. I only want to keep suzie warpaint rider the rest should be fired.

not allowed to + you but would have otherwise, funny post

ROFL

My mrs but that's nothing new.

NO 200 lbs about 5' 5" 55 to 60 yrs old.

Similar situation here. I put my Donkey tears on the stove and most of it evaporated while I talked on the phone. Luckily, I see there's a fresh stockpile on CP again. :drool:

Argo'd hit it

:)

Wal-Mart batteries are the biggets piles of shit known to man.

It sucks when winter rolls around and they die overnight.

They keep drawing me back in by giving me a new one, no questions asked.

Today no I only have to deal with my dogs, they are bassets so they sleep all day till dinner time. Wife is working all day till around 10pm. I have enough beer to last Wednesday and it's all cold.

Y'know what grinds my gears?

That nobody seems to understand how to appropriately use an apostrophe.

It drives me ****ing crazy.

The wife and I went to a restaurant last night, a pretty decent local joint with a professionally designed menu and all (not a hole-in-the-wall, is what I'm getting at). We grab the drinks menu, and what's the special? "Smirnoff Martini's". Does a guy named Smirnoff Martini OWN something? If so, WHAT? That's kind of a cliffhanger, don't you think? IF THE WORD IS PLURALIZED IT DOESNT NEED AN APOSTROPHE, GODDAMNIT. This is just one of an insane amount of instances I see this bullshit. There was a sign on a plastic utensils dispenser at work that said "Please pull lever back up if it stick's down. Thank's."

Brick's were shat.

ROFL

Well for ****'s sake.

I thought all batteries were only made by a couple companies.

NO caffeine for you.

That wouldn't surprise me at all. I buy mine from a local shop that rebuilds them and I have less trouble than back when I bought the name brand ones.

This.

The "2nd Use" batteries (rebuilds) I buy from the local John Deere are great batteries.


It's too bad they don't have the side mounts, or I would use them in my Yukons.

it sounded perfect until she was old.

You know what really grinds my gears?

That Mel Kiper with his stupid Bevis and Butthead haircut and his stupid ugly face. God I hate that man.

Leave me out of this.:) I want to kick him in the nutts.

Yeah. I, wouldn't put a Walmart battery in black bob's car

Cheap Chinese shit.

lol my last experience at a NAPA was not good at all. I will never go there again, not even for a quart of oil.

It's 60 outside, but will only be about 30 on the holiday Monday coming up. Mother Nature: YOU grind my gears. Sure, I could be thankful that it's unusually warm today, but why find a silver lining when I can find a reason to bitch instead?

Where do you get your batteries?

Radio sucks... haven't you heard?

It is going to below zero up here so shut the hell up.
