No. Everything today has gone wrong. Angle grinder stopped working, fixed that, it then shattered its disc. Then a retained nut in the back started spinning, so had to drill that out. Then one of my airlines broke. Straightening out an exhaust bracket caused my bench, with vice attached, to come away from its legs. Then I had trouble with a couple of threaded inserts holding the fog lights on. Then my rivets weren't long enough, so got to buy some...


And did I mention my foot is killing me...

Well I suppose if you insist on Braking fixing everything else first, that's not bad going.  ;D  :-X

Would I be right in assuming it has been in frequent use "chastising" these rogue elements ??

Perhaps you should invest in some padded footwear ???   (or an anger management course  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D )

i have such days....  usually the result of other people's incompetence.....  always a PITA,   but not usually under a car....  usually inside a mixing desk,  or in a DAW audio editor ,  editing god awful recordings, of god awful performance, being told by the label/broadcaster/artist that they expect this sows ear to be a silk purse....

by the day before yesterday.....

oh, and we're not going to pay till 90 days after invoice...


(and being someone like Sony,  or worse,   Universal,  the largest damn label umbrella out there, worth over 4 billion,  they can get away with it, and they know it....   idiots... )
