Ouch!! Spindle used $75 new after marker. $150-200.

At least you are expecting $2000. So anything less should be extra money to get nut pickers off the ground.

Gee. You are tightly strung.

My point was. Not to do it yourself. But why buy the part from ford?

But like I said. On the bright side. You are prepared for $2000. Gee.

Burnt out and awake at what. 1am?

What is it with guess away from the west coast?

Point is I really don't GAS as long as it's done.. Physically burnt out, not mentally burnt out. "What is it with guess away from the west coast"- Come on Beck you already addicted to the weed?

Everyone knows weed is not addictive. But iPhones and auto correct is.

Honestly chill out, gee..... I was rooting for a lower price. Like I said. More money for lice patrol. Not many shops buy parts direct from ford, heck. Even my ford dealer offer after market parts last year for a exhaust and cat on my f150.

You really are tightly strung.

Must be Surdi's van. Makes since.

You don't gas, or g.a.s. ?

Everyone east of the divide an ass?

Or maybe nip picking is a sour subject. Really I don't get it. Thought I was being positive.

Oh well. In downtown Seattle killing time till my son starts his 11th 1/2 marathon. 3 weeks ago he set his personal best. 1:45. 3rd place in his age.

I'm "high strung"? LOL Seems to me your more stressed out about what I'm paying to have my van fixed then I am. You turned this south if you go back and read.

Surti's van has been great to me, it has made me lots of money, best decision I have made.

Now back to Becker Blog of personal successes and random acts of kindness..

You are an angry little man, gee. Just settle down, pull your thong out of your crack.

Buying a machine is the best decision you ever made? How sad. :)

You reread it good ball, I was just sharing what I paid for similar work.

I'm starting to think you already started Lice-Out and the itching and scratching is getting to you.

I did not start anything ya dip! If you don't like waft I post. Don't read it, gee.

Hope the bill comes back 2500.00. Cuz ya clean for him, so it does not matter.

For whatever reason you have kinda had a bone to pick with me for sometime, long before your exciting new business venture. Not sure why.

But, I'm not here looking for love. Just entertainment, learning, sharing, and helping.

I guess maybe it's that your posts come across as condescending, though I think you start shit with me more then I with you.

I guess your right probably wasn't my best decision, but an 06' with 42,000mi. and a Apex with 978hr. for $23,000 is pretty damn good! Paid it off in a year and now it just makes me money.. The house I bought was my best decision for both my family and my business, and now it's worth at least $60,000 more then I paid. So, I have a pretty good track record on making good decisions with money.. Not sure if I'm going to start the other business yet, it's kind of a weird set up the company has to get one of their machines. If I do start it don't worry Beck I'll be making money!

That's great Keith

Hey we all make bad money decisions,

Repairs is one area where I suspect I lose sight and control of getting best value.

I typically place convenience and return to service first .

My mechanic drops what one of his guys is doing to get me going if I ask.

He's even come out on a Sat morning, towed my truck and put in a new fuel pump all before 2 PM same day so I could finish

Forget what the invoice was but I'm sure I got bent over

What, now your nothing going to start it?

No man, oddly some reason after you coming to WA to get Surdi's van with broken heat exchangers, you started climbing my shit.

Like I said. Don't know why.

The breaks have needed to be fixed for a while, so I knew that was coming,but Wednesday the bearing went out and it was not drivable. So, I called my mechanic and he said he would have it fixed by Monday. I finished off Wednesday with my back up, and did two other jobs(1 room and stairs Friday,and a water extraction Sat.) other then that I've just been relaxing.

I would have already started it if it was as easy as buying the machine. I will be getting a packet with all the info this week(it has some kind of franchise vibe) so I have to see if it will be worth it.. They say it's not a franchise so I have to read all the terms of the agreement before I decide if I want to move forward.

The Surti van had a low pressure heat exchanger that was broke, but I had them fix it(he had insurance since it was a lease) before I bought it.

So you bought a machine you can't use without a hook?

That sucks.

I ordered the machine, they confirmed the order, then they sent me a email saying that can't sell the unit to me. You need to take classes to get trained. This might actually be a good thing that they don't just sell it to anyone. I need to get some more info..
