...the only thing missing is the dude pulling out his cell and forcing you to look at pictures of all the cars he's mentioning plus his father-in-law's '89 Bonneville that he had put Crager mags on etc, etc,

Leroy is a charity client. 97 Intrepid. He's happy his car is fixed and just wanted to share that with me several times a day for four days running. Probably 50 texts in total from onset of problem to closure.

Good guy. Probably lives on $700 per month and his body is failing from several long term addictions. Clean/sober now but not a long time.

However, a little proof reading would go a long way.

Leroy doesn't compare to my ex-FIL who is the 87 year old version of the pesterer in the video. Stories, he's got them and I hear each one three times a week. He will "hold the flashlight" for me on a project for five hours straight though. He digs that.

I get people looking at my '47 Dodge truck. "I had one just like it, only it was a Ford."

The link is broken and I can't find it. I got some good laughs yesterday showing this video to those wandering into the shop.

I've got customers from CT coming in tomorrow to pick up some window frames. They are bringing cannoli from West Hartford, the best between Little Italy in NYC and North End here.

Courtesy bump. Please check out the OP's vid if you have not.

I feel bad as that screen shot of my Leroy conversation may have thrown this thread off track.

However, for those interested, I did install all four of "them stabilizer stuffs" on Leroy's 97 Intrepid this morning. He put $25 in the socket drawer. I'll grab that cash on Monday. Let it rest for a couple of days.
