and a ''rant-ily'' clad tire tech

warning: this blog contains rant. if you are allergic to rant, too bad. nothin' i can do for ya.

*thud* an impact wrench gun hits the floor.
me: ugh, i can't stand these ''new and improved'' guns! hey John, another new gun died.
John: ''aw not another one...''
me: say, we go through a lot more of these new guns than we ever did the old ones.
John: ''that's absolutely right.''
me: and we have these new guns b/c of why? the old ones overtorqued, right? no, that's bullcrap. if we can put the blame for that on the guns, then i put the blame of misspelled words on my pencil ;-). naw, it's the nut behind the wheel that needs to be tightened down....real tight ;-)

and ANOTHER thing....this deal with scrubbing the hubs and wheels. if the stuff is bad to leave on the hubs and wheels to the point where it simply MUST be removed, then what about geman cars? isn't that stuff getting pushed right into the holes for the studs? if it's so bad on the hubs and wheels, isn't it just as bad anywhere else on the rim/hub assembly? and doesn't the corrosion/asbestos affect torque more directly once inside the holes for the studs? the answer is ''get back to work.'' lol my supervisors didn't say that, they agree with me, but they're not the ones making the rules. some bendejo in a suit somewhere is screwin' everything up and makin' buxxorz for it.

however, i must say this, although it's a complete waste of time and money to follow these new proceedures, no other tire shop will pay me what costco pays me. the benefits are top ten in the nation. and the folk i work with are A+ i don't think i'll find any better setup anywhere else i go to bust tires. so the old addage goes ''costco pay, costco way.'' it actually doesn't really bother me till the guns break one after another. i just rant for the drama :D
