Lesson Learned

The Moral of the Story

There's nothing that a dude can do to feel more manly than use power tools. Today was spend cutting, grinding, bending, and drilling aluminum for my newest project: converting standard guitar stands to display snowboards! The project is almost done, gotta paint it and I'll show pics.

But it's been a total hands on week for this dude. Not just the stand, but a bearing in my truck blew out the other day. $140 of parts and 6 hours of playing mechanic later, lesson learned: repack your bearings often! And don't go 185k on the same set! And if you do, screeching sounds are bad!
