Got the CV axle checked off my list tonight. I still got it... if I weren't filming, I swear I could do it in 20 minutes. Oh... the new impact took another prisoner today. It has some serious torque, and I still haven't put it on high yet.
Oh, I 100% believe he was trying to help the stuck people get a lower bill rather than trying to double dip. If true he wouldn't be the first to try to help people pay less on their towing.

Watch out tightening things with a battery impact. Those things will break off a lug nut easily!

This is exactly how alligators act in the wild. If you see one alligator in a river, there will be more nearby and when food arrives, a whole bunch will show up to fight over it. Kinda like chickens do when I toss out leftovers (or the god awful pumpkin pie my wife made this year, which is unusual as her pies are normally awesome).
Thanks noobs, appreciate it.

Brakes done. Used my old impact for that, lol. Now I need to go exchange a couple tools at HD. Broke my 17mm Husky ratcheting wrench and my Husky T50. I need those....

I had an interesting experience when I went over to HD to exchange my tools. The manager said "if you bring me the whole set, we'll just give you all new sockets and wrenches". LOL.... OK, DONE! The 20 piece ratcheting wrenches now come in a case too... so that's pretty rad. So for a broken T50 and a broken 17mm ratcheting wrench, I got this.

Well... now I'm baffled as to what to do. My friend just texted me that he's racing at the track by me today.... I haven't seen his car in person since he got it all back together... twin turbski 5.8 with a 6R80.

Hmmmm I think I know what I would be doing. After I finish flying this drone to find a horse I have to go fell an 80 ft oak that's leaning the wrong way in the yard. I would much rather watch a different mustang run 8s or 9s. Lol

I don't know, it all sounds cool imo.
