What did you do today non-detailing related?

This may sound a bit gruff but celebrities are just people just like you and me. In the celebrities case they just got a few lucky breaks.
I recall being at work ( aircraft hangar at an airport) and a coworker comes up to me and says " hey Tiger Woods is right outside on the ramp”.I kept right on doing what I was doing.
There are plenty of regular folks I have much greater respect for. Wouldn't walk across the street to gawk at a celebrity.

Kinda my outlook too. I don’t get the appeal. Of “seeing” a famous person. There just doing there job. Or guys like Bezo’s. Appreciate Amazon but I’m not going across street to see him.

I’d rather meet one of you guys here and enjoy a conversation.

But to each their own. If hanging with someone because they’re famous, hang away…

Same thing I was yelling at her and her freakaziod posse.
If I hadn't have stepped in her dog would have died.
It was as simple as that

The owner of the aggressive dog was the only one who thanked me for getting them apart

I've always been told once a dog gets a taste of blood they'll always want more

I guess I've been lucky with Buster, he's been in a couple of fights where blood has been drawn, nothing major though, but he isn't more volatile after, he's actually calmer as we walk away. Three times while walking him in my neighbourhood we've had German Shepherds charge us, two were unleashed in front yards, and appeared to be going for Ziva, the smaller of the two, and each time he sat calmly till they got close and body checked them, knocking them to the ground, scared them enough they ran home. Both dogs were quite a bit bigger, but Blue Heelers are built different, they love full body contact. The other GSD was on the lead but the woman had to let go as her daughter was holding against her neck. That appeared to be a really serious fight, but both dogs only had each other's slobber on them. The woman was very apologetic and even gave me her number if I found Buster had injuries later. But he definitely hasn't been more aggressive or volatile even straight after these interactions.

FWIW I respect what the Vikings have done and I'm worried about our D because you guys have the firepower like we do but your D isn't as decimated as ours, we've got some awesome ends though, gotta play out of their minds though...and smart

Don't worry, based on the unnecessary close games the Vikes had, I think the Lions have a better chance of winning.

Honestly, I don't pay that much attention to the 'who's who' in football. I like watching the games, but I couldn't tell you who's good or bad...well, besides Jefferson (WR) and Hockenson (TE) on the queens seem to show up every game.

I ordered one of these today.
If it doesn't unlock their jaw, shove it in their neck

Never seen one of those before, definitely better than using your fingers.

I witnessed this bloke lose a finger doing that.
I know it's tempting, but a big mistake to stick your digits in a dogs mouth whilst he's chomping away at another dog's neck

Yeah I know, it was sort of a reflex reaction. The other guy wasn't coming to help fast enough.

I know someone who used the "finger up the bum" method to make a dog let go of another, it worked, but he already had a cut on the finger he used, so he had a few visits to the doctor afterwards.
 
Replaced the front control arms on my Explorer. The clunk and scary shake under braking at high speeds is now gone (known symptoms of bad bushings).

Surprisingly, the first side was easier than the 2nd. Usually it's the other way around. Had to break out the reciprocating saw and diamond blade to cut the ball joint stud because the nut would not unthread all the way. Luckily I was prepared since I went through that the last time I changed them.

I was also planning to replace the sway bar links, but the first one f'd up the threads trying to remove it. I was able to tighten it back down. Will tackle them another day. Was only about 25F in the garage, so I threw in the towel.

Walked into a tree branch on our hike today 😳 😔 😟 🙁 🙈
It was 1000% worth it.
Before we could get back to the car every single person (from several different nationalities/skin colors) wanted to make sure that I was OK
It helped restore my faith in mankind and confirmed this country isn't near as devided as some would want you too believe

The only discouraging part are those grey hairs in my eyebrow 😁

It's never been as divided, it's all about who controls the remote control and what they want you to see...the election proved that back in November

Hope I didn't offend anyone but it's how I see it and the people I run across all over Chicago, especially Mexican owned truck business...it's a wrap

I knew Hispanics would save us from ourselves.
I get along better with them than I do most natural born Americans
Same goes with Phillipinos and other nationalities that I have developed relationships with
If this country doesn't shape up, I'm shipping out 🚣‍♀️ 😀
