the thread about nothing...

It happens man. Nobody should pretend it couldn't happen to them as well.

Good to know you are OK though.

That ****can definitely happen to ANYONE!

You doing a long drive or vacation?

Headed to get my daughter for the rest of summer.

I make this trip every year.

Just glad I was on my way and she wasn’t in the car on the turn around:

I’m now a believer in flying > driving.

Second major accident luckily my walked away from both unharmed.
Holy****! Hope you're doing ok bro. Cars can be replaced, lives can't.
 
I'm super good.

I'm not trippin off the car.

That's just metal.

I unbuckled and crawled out.

I have a real uncanny way about keeping calm in the absolute worst situations.

It's been quite interesting learning about pants online and in stores lately while I'm currently in search new ones due to weight gain. Styles have really changed because I got most of my pants and shorts in the 2000s. I also got a few during the early part of the last decade.

It's crazy how they don't make pants baggy anymore like they did in the '90s to early 2000s as I'm learning recently. Perhaps stupid skinny jeans caused brands to stop making the baggy style.

It sucks that Levi's discontinued the Silvertab style because those were hot in the '90s. I wore mine until I gained weight that no longer enabled me to wear them.

I know they have loose styles, so that should be suitable for my preference whenever I get new pants and shorts. I expect to go with Levi's going forward.



I'm not riding a bike to lose weight because it's my way of getting around. I just mentioned it was ironic I gained weight while I ride a bike when it's supposed to be an activity that keeps weight down in theory.
I had to find a new style of jeans for the first time since the early 2000s as well. Took a while but i settled on Levis 541 Athletic flex 🔥🔥🔥
 
Changed front brake pads in 45 mins. Ive only done the front brakes twice but feels like I'm getting decent at this.

Last time I replaced them, I had a buddy help me out with what tools I'd need. He offered up a tool to compress the caliper piston back into the housing. But when it came time to do that step last time, that joint actually moved back with only the force of my hand. So I wasnt even thinking about needing something forr that step this time around. And sure enough, that piston wasnt budging when I was trying to push it in by hand.

Thankfully I had a pipe that was the perfect circumference to put into the piston, applying even pressure to get it to retract.
 
Ain’t much else he can do now so I’d bait his *** to cross into my property and handle him.

When I went to the police after the threats, they literally said it would've been better if I got assaulted, since the threats weren't illegal and neither is lying to police so we couldn't entrap him with the audio recordings. Which is a shame because as I expected, he wasn't aware of the recordings when police went to his house and he ended up blatantly lying about all the threats even though they apparently used the exact quotes from the recordings.
Nowadays if someone rings my door after 6PM, I get my alarm pistol before going to the door.

If you have wide enough channel locks or a pry bar, either will work too.

For the channel lock, place one end of the teeth on the back housing of the piston and the other on the piston ring and slowly squeeze. It's ok that there isn't even pressure on the piston. It will compress evenly. But if you don't want to squeeze directly on the ring you can leave the old brake pad on the piston and compressor from the pad if your channel lock is wide enough.

For the pry bar, before you remove the caliper, take a pry bar and place it through the caliper inspection hole. Put the end of the bar on the brake pad that's on the Piston. Use leverage against the disc brake and pull on the bar to compress the piston in.
