I'm not a huge dog lover but this was a principle thing. If the dog was shot by a neighbor for doing something he shouldn't, I wouldn't really care or blame them. It's my own fault if the dog were chasing cows or killing chickens or something like that....but he wasn't.
The Life and Times of the Dumbest Pony in the world. I bought my kids a pony....It was fine when the kids met it, but hated me the minute I loaded it to bring it home. The kids could hang on her, ride her and no issues, but she'd run by me and try to kick me from behind, or push into me when I was leading the kids.....blatant disrespect. She hated me and I started hating her back. Brideowanian tells a story about the time we were walking in the pasture and the wonder pony kept running by trying to kick me. At one point I got mad and tried to spin kick her in the face when she ran by....I'm sure it looked ridiculous like it sounds when I type it. every time I showed an act of kindness, she punshed me for it. I'd tie her out in good grass, and she'd pull the stake and run off. I'd feed her apples and she'd do something stupid like bust a gate open. I spent a 100 degree day building her a new pen near my pond and she swam around the fence and ran away and tore up a garden. Her worst mistake was biting me hard enough to draw blood when I was trimming her feet....it was hate after that. Then she started getting out and running away....and I'd go find her in a pasture with other horses and she'd run away. Crap like that. Twice, she'd find the biggest hippy in the area who do things hippies do like grow vegetables for farmers market and stomp their garden up.....so I'd pay for it and bring her back home. Several times the only reason she lived was because I knew my kids loved her. It was escalating......I'd have put that bitch on a Malaysian airliner to be an al queda sex slave, but I sold her to a cowboy who breaks horses, for his kids instead. A while back the former owner asked me where she was and I told him "I sent her to hell where she belongs"...and then confessed the truth. Stupidest horse ever. |

I'm a fairly decent mechanic and have done some advanced stuff. It's always the simple parts that piss me the **** off.

No I didn't pay. I told him to give me my ****ing dog. I guess you could say my tone was unfriendly...the wife brought the dog over, he stepped out of the way and I took the dog from her. I don't think they said a word. I'm not positive but after I picked the dog up I think I said "have a nice day" or something like that.
I don't know but I think it was the smartass way he said "maybe you've heard of a finders fee" more than asking for $20. If the dog had just ran away and they'd have found him near their home, I'd have offered to pay them before they asked. I don't expect anyone to handle my responsibilities or feed my animals. Pretty sure they hadn't. It could have escalated quickly. I wasn't paying and I wasn't leaving without the dog after he said that. |

There is some absolute hilarity in that shit. Thanks for sharing. I'm not much of a livestock man myself. I'd rather dick with a motor than an unruly fourlegs. But I do have a lot of respect for legitimately good livestock guys. |

As for mechanic stuff and home repairs it is almost always the small thing that is the biggest headache.
One of my isues is always getting the traps to not leak when I'm putting in sinks. |

Have you checked the cable(s)? How about the speakers themselves? Does the left speaker work when plugged into the cable that's providing sound? |

Ironic timing.
I swear every time I go out of my way for an animal.......... So, the same pup mentioned above....due to the cold I brought into the garage. I went out to get something and check on him....and I find a pair of $200 hunting boots chewed up and a seat from a tree stand destroyed. He's lucky one of my new years resolutions is to be slower to anger, or he'd be tied out in front of a korean buffet in 10 minutes. Guess I should have left him with where he was. |

Seriously, there are no Koreans around anyway. A teacher friend is from Cambodia. When he was a kid, he had a dog. His parents gave it away to someone. He went to see it a few days later and the guy said it was 'gone'

I also see he got into some hand warmers and has black dust spread all over behind my truck. What an unappreciative asshole.

Try working on a 15 year old jeep. Rust is a bitch.

On some intakes you can only break it loose and get the cap past the o ring then unscrew it the rest by hand, just watch the socket to intake clearance as it unscrews
