    Either cheating on each other or happily separated, or they are super pissed and separated with a child in the mix, I’ve got lots of speculations, I was trying to get girl in green pants in focus better instead of looking at Ruth and P moneys gift to the world

    Hahaha I’m pretty sure a light post; the old man faculty that called it in talked to me for 20 minutes about what he thought it was, and what he did, and what the kids were doing as they walked by it, and asked me what used to be there, and if I personally removed it, and if so why did I leave the bolts there.

    Well normally I'd say "If you don't bolt it down"...but that doesn't seem to apply here.

    We had some kid bring in a fucking hole saw and drill through the back of an audio cabinet so he could plug his phone in.

    Dumbass kids.

    It was a whole ordeal. This was the end when I just moved everything into a metal cabinet.

    First time he removed about 20 screws and a piece of acrylic. Then when I switched up to torx screws and he ripped the acrylic off. Then I stuck a 3/4 sheet of ply up there and he brought the hole saw.

    No one caught him?

    I don’t know if I’ve told this story, for some reason exit signs are super hot right now?
    They found this girl with over 100 in her room! I imagined a exit sign fort, but not sure what it really looked like……

    That kid is determined. Maybe just buy him a 12' phone charger cable. Or cancel him.

    #1 excuse for the past 2 years……
    I’ve gotten strange calls from the brass, that I know are parents bitching and moaning, so I don’t put up any fight(not that I normally do, but I at least use some intelligence normally, which brass calls I know it’s nonsense but needs to get done)

    I really wanted to add the oil and begin the break in today. But, the RTV I used wants 12-24 hours to cure. If it leaks, it won’t be cause I rushed it, I let it cure.

    Oh no this was so he could play HIS music for the entire weight room.

    Which also reminds me the reason I found out he was doing it was because I got calls that it wasn't working. So he'd unplug the RCAs to plug his in and then not plug them back.

    Trying to be the nice guy I left an aux cable a nice XLR to 1/8" and this mother fucker stole it, then what I posted above transpired.

    Got a call one night from the softball coach he was there and had her get the cable back. He has the audacity to tell her it's his even though this dumbass didn't even take the label off identifying the input number on the mixer.

    Yeah, maybe. I have an OEM one sitting here. I asked the installer about that and they said, nooooooooo. There may be a better than paper OEM gasket, but I just used what came with the locker.

    I'm having a hard time seeing how this kid isn't going to drill a hole through the metal cabinet.

    Personally, I'd just remove the audio equipment or lock it up in a separate room.

    Who? Their advice is now suspect.

    OEM gasket is great.

    I'm an OEM guy and bought the gasket up front. Have you seen one? It's literally paper thin and probably perfect for initial assembly, but even when I got it I was, eew, OK. It was Frank at South Bay Truck that told me to run RTV. He's been working on transmissions and diffs since he was a child on WWII era jeeps. I don't think he's suspect. I think this is one of the cases where a rebuild seal might benefit from some more gasket material on compression. But, this is my first time with a diff, so I don't know.

    I was thinking about you yesterday, David. The kid needed wheel time and his mom didn't think he was ready for the freeway. I had him drive me to San Diego.
