It's hard to know who your true friends are until the friendship gets tested. Go broke, or say no to what someone wants is often a test. Your true friends will always stick with you regardless. That said though if I'm a sociopath, a narcissist and I abuse my friends, I will in fact lose real friends. We cannot expect anyone to endure our abuse.

My bird bomb story : 3 days after painting my 68 Camaro I went for lunch downtown and parked between glass buildings & under power lines. 1 1/2 hours later there was NO black paint to be seen on the roof that was baking in the sunlight off the glass. I was lucky & got it washed quick enough to save the paint job. Have a great weekend Lee & I agree with the others who are enjoying Isaac on the other channel!

There's often a difference between nicely made fabricated parts, and being well engineered. One looks wonderful, the other works wonderfully. The best of both worlds is what we hope for. Good engineering means the loads that are placed on the component are understood and compensated for in the design.

Lee, as I see it, mind you I'm not an engineer or car builder, just an old retired military electronics tech. The kit car needs to have either the engine or the diff repositioned to get everything on a dead straight line with each other. With a drive line as short as you have anything other than dead on straight will cause the same thing happening.

There are lots of mentions of pinion angle in many build video.
@dennissheridan15502 ай бұрын
@@Jr8key If I'm not mistaken the kit car has IRS, thus the diff is bolted in place. If so then setting zero pinion angle shouldn't be that hard.

I know where you are on this Lee. I was in financial services and a "friend" had a pop over an endowment I had sold him when it was in vogue to complain. It was established that he actually had a great deal and when subsequently I "had a pop back" at him over it, he said "well I had the opportunity to make some money off you and had a go"! Never spoke to him again and there were opportunities for him to make gains through my financial advice and I never gave him those. End issue is he lost out by a lot! Sadly there are few "friends" in business. Just make sure you know which ones they are!

I would never ask a friend to send something just because they worked for a delivery company. What a cheapskate! These kind of people are just users that take advantage of other peoples kindness, they are not true friends.

A place I used to work at had the carpark immediately south of the office building. Birds ( mostly seagulls ) liked to sun themselves on the roof of the office, then 'unload' themselves as they launched off into flight - right over the first couple of rows of parked cars...

Regarding bird bombs; years ago we were at a friends parents cabin at the lake. I mixed a fresh drink and walked back out on the deck. Within 1 minute a robin flew over and dropped a bomb direct in my glass. Had not had one sip from the drink yet. Poured the drink overboard and mixed another. You would think the birds are dropping smart bombs.

If I can clean all the plastic and glass of about 2 windows or a door , a day. Every day in 30 years in the window industry then it would not be a big chore to get a little warm water with a dash of washing up liquid and some jif on the tough marks and clean those grubby oil marks off that plastic. I will be having a camera fitted over the way so I can check it every day from now on.
