AZ BS

Random pics from the last few days

 

I have this question also.

Sent emails to the three or so places google suggested. One response, talking me to go to Scottsdale, I sent pictures and said I'll come if we make a deal, that was Wednesday afternoon.

 

Ryan nave is the owner, he’s on the tundra Facebook group and who people recommend for wrap work, I’ve only ever asked for a roof wrap quote and wasn’t a bad price.

 

Heard good things about him… I need to reach out as well to get my roof wrapped

 

These came today.

 

If your looking for that hard to find replacement for your camper check out state trailer. They were able to get me a discontinued fridge door for a steal and found it for me within an hr.

Hmmmm so I have to bitch for a minute and vent. Before I do, I want to preface that I worked for a Toyota & Lexus Dealership for 10 years as a technician. I retired from that career due to health issues. Really enjoyed my career and took pride in my craft.

Took my “new to me” 2010 Tundra to Findlay Toyota of Flagstaff for a tire Balance, Alignment, & MPI. Dropped it off this morning at 9:00am with no appointment. Told the advisor to keep the truck as long as they need. I have a 2nd vehicle to take me to work.

5:00pm rolls around and I have not heard anything. I figured I would give them a call and see what’s up. They told me they do not know the status of my truck but it may be ready by 6:00 haha
Again, if they got it done today great and if not. No big deal.

They call me back 30 minutes later to tell me that the tech claims “inner & outer tie rods are so seized up to the locknut they are practically one”. Because of that they can not do an alignment. I would need new tie rods & steering rack. WTF. These is little to no rust on this truck, I just replaced the front shocks myself this past weekend. I even soaked the tie rods in penetrating oil just in case. So I call BS (see photo below)

I pick up the truck and I am grateful they only charged me for the tire balance. Then I find they did not perform an MPI. How in the ‘F’ are you going to do a tire balance and alignment and forget to perform an MPI. (Ughhhh)

I pay my bill and walk out to the truck. See the odometer is at 148,326 and the Repair Order states it was text driven 5 miles with a mileage out of “148,329”. But I brought the truck in with 148,324 miles hahaha.

Shaking my head I driveway and sigh. I get on Route 66 going about 55mph and a sudden clanging noise is coming from my driver’s front wheel. Before I could stick my head out the window or stop, a wheel weight comes flying out over the driver side mirror from that wheel hahaha

I understand shit happens and we have bad days but WTF……The level of professionalism in the dealerships is so low here in Flagstaff.

 

Yea, that place is pretty hit-or-miss

 

Wow, just wow. Sorry.

 

thats shit

 

Holy shit it's early May!

 

Not to brag or anything, did you see T town had the first 100 degree day, before P town!

 

Damn! I missed that too!

 

Thankfully at work, I’ve got keys to telecom rooms that are usually at 52-58 degrees!

 

I don't know about officially when or where the first 100-degree day was but it's been 100 here for a while.

 

4/18.

 

Well maybe I lied then, 4/26 here

 

I wish it were cooler.

 

Friday food fun... Vegan, vegetarian, omnivore. Whatever dietary restrictions you may have. Post up what your favorite breakfast meal is.

• Sit down: Country fried steak with two sunny side up eggs smothered in gravy, topped with two fistfuls of Sriracha
• On the go: Lenny and Larry's protein chocolate chip cookie and a Kirkland signature cold brew coffee can

 

I will second that country-fried steak!!! Always my go-to when I have time.

Most days I stick to 4 scrambled eggs that are cooked to a creamy texture, add some sauerkraut, throw in some refried beans and sprinkle garlic/pepper/salt. Wash it all down with black coffee.

 

Fried egg with pepperjack cheese on a toasted english muffin with mayo and onion x2. Eat this everyday nearly for years.

 

Only in tucson...

 

Wow! The ultimate traitor caught on camera.

 

Obviously, climate change/global warming is not real.

 

It’s 81 in your house? I’d be covered in otter pops!

 

Yes. Ceiling fans & AC set to 80 we still have a 310 AC bill.

 

Sweet Moses!

 

I can't do 80 in the house, we set it at 76. And yeah, it can get a bit spendy.

 

All his buddies at the bar can't understand how he's gotten 300,000 miles out of his chevy.

 

My wife claims it's cold. I can put up with it with the big ceiling fan.
