Well, I've spent all morning thus far fixing other peoples f*** up's.

We have these fitting room panels that we are doing for a bunch of Nordstrom Rack's. The have aluminum sidings that have to be drilled out on the bottom with a 9/16" drill bit to fit a threaded insert. They are only supposed to be drilled in about a 1/2" deep.

So what I always do is wrap a piece of tape around the drill bit, so that the first 17/32" is showing, and the rest is taped off. Then drill in to just before that piece of tape and pull out before I go too deep (giggity). I've NEVER had a problem doing this.

Another guy in the shop starts drilling out some panels since I wasn't there yesterday. He drills till he touches the tape and then pulls out. Well, the problem with that is that it pushes the tape back just a tiny bit. Not very much, but after you do 50 or so, it's now pushed back another 1/2".

Of course he doesn't realize this and keeps on drilling. So now when you put a leveler into the insert and screw it in to raise up an end, the insert just keeps sliding further and further in. So now I have to take a hammer and a punch and make dimples in all 4 sides of the aluminum to keep the insert from moving.

This is gonna take a while....

Damn, Tyler, that sucks. I hate it when mouth-breathing retards screw up perfectly easy work. I feel your pain.

Adam, what do you do for a living?

I am full of fail. But I don't know why.

In this case, at least.

OIC. Very respectable, Mr. Bonk.

No offense, but I completely missed that part of all our introductions. I wanted to get everybody's last name and what they did for a living.

I work for the government, you see.

I saw doodie covered animals that Adman was smuggling in his butthole. Twas an epic picture to wake up from a nap to.

Mmm crackers. I threw up last night, a lot. My eyes hurt. Some Triscuits or Chicken n a Bizkit would be great right now.

What's up, Shad?

My downfall... chicken. I had some old wings at work. Not long after, i was yakking. I ran home (I work 3 min from the house) drank a huge glass of water, slammed some Pepto and went back to work.

Bwahaha. I love that you saw that immediately post-nap. I already called and bitched out the doctors office today. I am no longer seeing much humor in this. It has turned into extreme annoyance...

I can't fault you on the old chicken. I would've done the same.

Hot wings burn coming up. They smelled iffy but I just can't say no to yard bird.

What's up with the doctor?

Adam, I would like to note that I disagree with your paper wadding technique. Roll it, don't wad it!

Because I know no one ever reads the trucks forum, I appeal to the Learned'd:

Nissan gave a big :bigfu: to all Gen 2 Xterra owners by making the rear window wiper a completely prioriatery item. No off-the-shelf wiper refill works.

I have cruised the NICO sponsor sites including everythingnissan.com and no one sells the rear wiper. I'm tired of getting it from NAPA and paying like $30 for it. Anyone know of a hookup I can order from over the net?

Before you waste your time, yes, I'm aware that a google search for the wiper does give me some options, but I've not done business with those places before and I'm not 100% certain they aren't mistaken when they say there are aftermarket blades available (kiosk at local Wal-Mart will say the same thing, but their suggested blade in no way fits).

Got me on the wrong drug. Told me I'd feel better in 24 hours. Well, it's been about 20 and I feel worse than I did yesterday. Drug is for protozoa, not nematodes so it's not really doing anything for me. So I told his staff that he has me on the wrong drug. They "left him a note". f*** honestly, I just wish I could write my own prescriptions. I've been to the doctor like 3 times in the last 10 years, and every time my guess at my ailment was correct. So I already knew what I needed drug-wise. Could've saved a lot of time and money. f*** place is telling me they wont have results from testing until like Friday. And then the drug I need takes like 3-4 days to be completely effective. So it seems I'll be feeling like crap for about the next week. Which is complete s*** because I should've been on the meds I need yesterday. Damnit I hate healthcare. Good thing my insurance keeps raping my checks so they can get rich and so can the doctor that doesn't listen to what I'm telling him my symptoms are...

That big wad contained my latex gloves. Tried to diminish their size so they wouldn't plug the crapper on the way down.

I'd just like to say, for the record, that I love watermelon, ham/beans/cornbread, fried chicken, collard greens boiled with fat back, and black-eyed peas. And I'm so white I glow in the dark.

Soul food rocks.

Normally, I'd say $15K for a Kouki is date-rape. Not so in this case.
