Things I hate...

Reds is the worst place to shoot in Texas.

QFT, it was better when it was Cook's. My dad took home so many bowling pin trophies they limited him and his buddy to three rounds per magazine... And that was when they were both still mid-level IDPA marksmen!! 

[CAP1]

i'll repeat.......
ENGINEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

only had 2 vehicles that needed to be done today at work. easy, right?

NOT!!

1)98 F250superduty, 7.3 powerstroke turbodeisel. this friggin engine actually had a MISFIRE!!!!
so what fixed it? a new valve cover gasket  , a new under valvecover gasket wiring harnes, and a new injector(also under the valve cover.)hours of waiting for parts, and hours of disassembly, just to replace a lousy injector. ontop of that, i had to buy a special tool to remove the injector with.  who the heck decided that the old mechanical injection, that's been on 7.3's for YEARS wasn't good enough anymore? sheesh!

2)98 montecarlo. needed a power brake booster. can't find one anywhere, not even the dealer. finally one of my parts houses finds it. problem? 3 HOURS to r&r it!!!! why? because some engineer decided that although simply bolting the booster to the firewall has worked for 50 years, it wasn't good enough. so thisone has a lock tab, which requiers a special tool to remove it. i couldn't find the tool, so i had to spend an hour or so making one. get the old out, after removing cooling and fuel lines, and of course i had to remove the mastercylinder and abs unit too. new one comes, and is wrong.

 sorry for ranting, but it's been such a fun day, i thoughi'd share.

Things I hate.... Everyone.

[texasmom]

Sounds like someone has issues. 

[Skyeho]

I hate people who cant see their own faults and everything bad that happens to them is not their fault.

[texasmom]

I hate it when I'm watching a great episode of what not to wear and Stacy & Clinton pull out one of the EXACT shirts that I have in my closet & start bagging on the gal for owning it.

(No way! That's, like, one of my favorite shirts!)

Been going to reds starting in the early 80's. We do need a good outdoor range in Central Texas.. Some days i really do miss Hill country shooting range with that old crazy guy Richard..

WOAH, HOLD ON NOW!

YOU WENT TO REDS!?!? DUDE, THAT'S RIGHT BY ME!!!! I took my pellet rifle to have a scope sighted there once! Do you, by any chance, shoot at any of the local IDPA matches?


(Sorry for caps)

Which Reds? And is it the one in Texas? I go to the one in Pflugerville, by my sister's old house.

Wait, I had no Idea there was more than one Red's. And yeah, that one.

...Pflugerville...

Sounds like something from "Out of the Silent Planet".

It's almost like a tumor on top of Austin...

A really big, loud tumor with a kick-ass High-School football team.

Engineers should be made to work on the front lines servicing the crap they design before they are permitted to even LOOK at a pencil.

I hate waking up and you just realize you had a crapload of homework, or maybe when you realize you have to pee real badly, the only bathroom in the house is taken and it is negative 3 degrees Celsius outside. I also hate hating the little things in life.
