You work to hard even when your off. I wish I had done something. Did the kitchen stuff last weekend and cut the grass yesterday. Tfying to stay off the hip and knee. Plus The Urologly Dr wants me to take it easy from now to the surgery. After surgery will be a minimum of 3 weeks before I can pickup anything heavier than a gallon of milk.
I am getting grumpy, it maybe from the freeloaders on the couch. They will be gone tomorrow.

I don't know, The stuff I have to do always seems to be never ending.
The guy I usually do the transmissions with is going to be out all week so I have to do this one alone. He says I can do it and has no worries. Pulling it out and putting it in I have no worries, It's the testing and adjusting after the new one is in that I have never done.

Tonight hit me off guard though, I was told I always seemed stressed out.....never even talked to this chick but I know she notices me.... Not really sure what im doing right or wrong...

I am about 3/4 done pulling out the transmission, my hands are so sore this morning. They brought me a rebuilt transmission yesterday so as soon as I get the old one out I can put the new one in. Goes a lot slower when doing it by myself.
Jacob that's better then them running and screaming in fear.

Just about to pull the transmission out, takes a while to get all the hydraulic lines and stuff disconnected and out of the way.
I live in Cave Spring and work in Austell, can see the coaster at six flags from my work bay.

Thats fine with me. Its funny, because all my ex-friends in Georgia would get eaten alive by a real texas chick. They always wondered why I was such a dick, because they were all stupid.. But they gave me something to do.
I slightly snapped today....
I have a 15k toolbox, and it was covered in dust and sand paper and the sarge is using it as his table since hes working on a car in my stall, and he continues to blow dust and **** everywhere. I went to my body filler table, (very organized) lol and I just ****ing snapped at how messy the place was because of the sarge. Painter noticed and tried to calm the situation, then the sarge came and the painter rushed him out of my section of the shop.... He then proceeded to throw me under the bus to the boss, while everyone took my side.....
The boss is now really seeing the toxicity. lol
I made my point, I hit a level no one saw before, and it was still mild.... Being the happy smiling fun guy in the shop go to pissed real fast, they took notice..

Just about ready to install the new transmission into the truck. I think I am doing pretty good doing this one by myself. I still like tag teaming one better.
I was finally able to bush hog some of my property after work and my son took his first ride on the tractor with me and he loved it.
