that one is for heat and keeps the slides from freezing up on brake calipers.

supposed to be another humid rainy day today to ruin everyone "down da shaw" experience.
temps only in the 70's, but with 90+ % percent humidity to make it feel like it is closer to 100.
yesterday morning it was only 68 degrees, but with the 82% humidity we were soaking wet from sweating within 20 minutes of unloading the shipping containers and trying to set them in place.

well, i just got to **** off all the neighbors. and man are they pissed off!!
looked in the mail box this morning on the way to moms. and got three code violations from the town.
one for opperating an unlicensed auto repair and dismantling business in a residentual area.
one for unlicensed abandoned and dismantled vehicles on property in a residentual area.
and one for running a solid waste disposal facility in a residential area.
had to tell everyone from now on they will have to take their cars to a licensed repair shop to be repaired, because i i can no longer help them, or let them do repairs on their cars here.
i have never charged anyone for anything but parts used.... so i have no idea where the running a business comes from.
and as far as the abandoned and dismantled vehicles goes, every single vehicle on my property is registered, insured, and runs except for the 65 falcon that is retting floor pans put in and the engine rebuilt.
and the solid waste disposal facility? i have 2 55 gallon drums full of rotors, water pumps, and other miscellaneous heavy metal parts waiting to go on a scrap run.

When I got turned in here made me put tags and insurance on all vehicles inside my garage. And they all have to run.
did the same to me as you. Even wrote me up for my snow tires sitting in the corner. Said tires are hazardous waste.
I ask the inspector how come you can buy crushed up tires as bark mulch at the store. He didn't find that amusing

I did find who reported me. Sad. Was one of the people whom I worked on his stuff.
I stopped that real quick. Not long after that his lawn tractor caught fire in the street in front of his house.
he was doing the work his self.
So. No need to pay HIM back
