You know what I've spent most of my week doing?
Advising on Property Sales.
Everyone in this town is either buying or selling property or both and Realtors are just making cash hand over fist. Its insane.
Now we're getting close to the end of the year and people are concerned about how this is going to affect their taxes.
So...who you gunna call?

"Class IV...it's the only way to be sure"
"I can't get this oil filter off, can I heat this up with a butane torch?"
Uhh don't do that.

For me, the biggest one was the battery and alternator testers.
"Can you test this battery for me??"
No. I can see the sides bowing out, its frozen and if its frozen its pooched and if I hook that thing up to the battery tester...its going to explode. Just go buy a new one."
"can you test this alternator for me, I'm not sure its working!"
No. Do you know how alternators work son? You see a wee little belt spins this pulley here and it generates car electricity...like magic! Now do you see your pulley and how its seized and doesnt spin anymore? The magic is gone!
Thats your problem. Go buy a new one.
I had one guy come in one time returning a car-jack.
Whats wrong with it? I ask politely.
"Turns out I didnt need it."
- The receipt here says you bought it 3 hours ago along with....cans of brake clean and shop towels.
So...you used it, cleaned it up a bit and are now trying to return it.
"Yes."
Alright. Well at least you cleaned it up! IDAGF. Take it to the counter over there and she'll give you your money back.
