Being Friday, I decided to take into the drink last night. I woke up this morning to discover the alcohol fairy had visited and left me a gift. One and a half coils cut off the front springs and everything ****oned up nice and snug. Somehow she knew I had just ordered some lowering blocks for the rear. I sure love that fairy!
Good to see you working on a car with tools while intoxicated... Your co ordination must be spectacular
Been a while since I've been there, but there were always two kinds of Americans on the BMW plant tours: the ones who were absolutely amazed that the German ***embly-line workers got beer, and the ones who were amazed that anyone would think that was unusual in Bavaria... Personally, I find one gl*** of red wine does an excellent job of getting me past the "should I do it this way, or that way, or this other way, or..." stage and into the "that works, time to just effin do it" part of the process. No more than that, though.
What is the sence of swetting all day welding in a qut. panel patch if you can't reward your seld with a little of gods own brew. The best thing about it is you don't even have to wait to the end of the job!
i'm reading it a bit different than most of you , that maybe it was done as a gift while he slept it off maybe the original poster will clarify
I guess that is better than waking up and not knowing where you are or what happened. Don't ask me how I know.
Used to do my best work in the garage after 10 PM,and with 2-3 beers in me. Didn't say it was good work,just good for me. That was in my younger days. Now,I don't drink much of anything except Diet Coke. Maybe that's why my work ****s more now.
Hope we're wrong. Heard about some really painful consequences when alcohol and working on cars are combined at the same time. Alcohol AFTER is great.
I've noticed my power tools dont know half of what they need to after a few swigs. When I found out how much diamond plate alumnium was I quit cutting it up like it was free, even though I cut up some old truck boxes they were throwing away at work.
Miracle: Unexpected event...garage revelations...the next morning? An immigrant from the Emerald Isle, upon seeing fists exchanged outside a bar in Southie, "Is this a private fight, or can anybody join in? The OP crafted this just grand! 5 stars!
LOL Thank you all for your concerns. Fortunately, I can hold my drink quite well...usually to the dismay of most of my American mates that ask in disgust "How do you keep yourself so together" as they roll out of a bar falling down and puking. Just to clarify (and retain some slither of respect), I had planned out the coil chopping weeks ago. I made sure to do the "dangerous" parts of the job first before the demon took control of me. The original post was a little tongue-in-cheek. I'm actually rather **** when it comes to safety aspects of working. And I never embark on anything too ambitious without a clear head.
Christ, I wish mine did! I proposed to my 1st wife while intoxicated .........and the sobriety after sure felt like an execution!!!
if I add beer to a wrenchin session it always turns into a nothing getting done session. more so if I add in a buddy or 2.
I ripped this off from someone on here but I like it. "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy"
Back in my youth I drank A LOT. Was drinking with my buddies one night and we were pretty lit up. One of them asked me to cut the top off his car. I grabbed his cutting torch and made it happen. He drove it for years after that. We laughed about it often.
