Busted the dang snow blower belt on a chunk of ice... O'Reilly came in clutch!

 

I was in Cleveland last week for my company's Leadership Awards conference. Wasn't a bad view from the 32nd floor. For Cleveland. In February.



Side benefit, my parents live an hour south, so I flew in early to visit.

 

Nice view... did you get an award too?

 

I did. Only those who exceeded their sales goal attended. I didn't blow it out of the water, but was about $300K over with $2.1M. There were some people who sold $30M, $40M, even one with $60M. Stretch goal for me.

 

Son of a.... that's mucho! Congrats.

 

Have any of you guys seen or uses this? I kinda like the 6 quarts deal. Easier to fill the truck.

 

Is it a bag?

 

I believe so... bag in a box.

 

Pass. I want the jug for the old oil.

 

So I was looking at the brackets on my brakes today and I figured I could get enough room on the clips if I flipped them around, which I did, and which worked. Unfortunately while doing so the line from the master cylinder to the driver's side snapped off at the fitting. Tried to flare it but it was just too rusty and kept cracking, and so...yet again... O'Reilly came through in a pinch...got the whole stainless brake line set for my truck for $130 at about 5pm tonight. Top pic shows new stainless for the front and old rusty painted for the rears right next to each other.

Decided to only install the front lines for now...drivers side and the abs line only took about ten minutes...line to the passenger side took an hour and a half(admittedly I should have pulled the skid plate but I got it in anyway)...finished up some odds and ends and wheels down, exhaust checks good brakes bled and checked...happy happy joy joy...still need to clean up the mud though.



oh, and when I went to O'Reilly's, I saw this sweet Olds in the speed shop next door...
