So this afternoon turned out to be a rough one.... ugh.... I still manage to screw up the simplest of things...

Thread the drain bolt in by hand, start turning it in with my big rachet and socket, and the little ****** decides to break in the last crank to get it in tight!!! Fuuuhh.... I swore so loud!! :banghead: C17844B7-C416-4F7B-A60B-504FE3EC5376.jpeg 737AA8E0-B9AE-4A35-A2F3-0EB9FBCFBC46.jpeg
So I call my long time client that owns a big mechanic shop who I do washes for every week. Who I just so happen to be washing for tomorrow. He’s like fill it up with oil and drive it the mile or so to the shop. I take it over and thankfully he will handle it first thing in the morning for me... really frustrating though...

Well shop came through. Had the broken bolt out in no time. Only lost a quart of oil when they pulled it, put the new bolt in and filled back up with oil. All good to go thankfully. And all it cost me is two washes, one of which I took care of on the owners F350 this afternoon. I’m good with that haha. Thank god for connections!

One hand washes the other, and both hands wash the face! Am I right @Galante :secret:
