Ahh spring! Things are blooming, the weather is warm, the birds are chirping... WAIT! That ain't no damn birds, that's the ****ing U-joints in the rear driveshaft!

I swear I have been driving around thinking it was birds until I went through the bank drive- thru window and the sound echoed back at me from the wall. I only heard it when going real slow but today it really got nasty and downright embarrassing . I just got done putting a couple in and I think its OK now.

Shop truck was like that till it dropped the driveshaft backing up from the shop one day.

I know. I kept saying to the owner it was getting bad, but you know how it is.

I can hear the birds outside right now and it sounds exactly like a rusty U-joint. Tweet, tweet tweet, tweet, tweet.

I have to admit... I've sat at a stop sign, before, and thought for sure my fan belt was squeaking when they do that...

I guess we should be happy that none of them make a noise that sounds like a broken piston rod.

True dat we got a 800hp CAT sitting that's got a watermelon sized hole in the block that made one hell of a crash boom bang! We had a clutch laying around that had exploded, the whole housing was blown apart, that musta been interesting... i think the closest bird sound to any of that would have been a taradactal, if I'd guess.

Trying to make my money back after losing 500$ at the casino on friday.
And now I remember why I don't go to that place!

Hope that rate was for just you. $300 for 4 hrs would send me backwards. Pretty sad to say that but it tis what it tis. I hate having to pay the government.

$300 for four hours with even one climber and one ground man would send any legit outfit backwards. That's why this whole industry is going to sh!t.

Yeah I sure wish we had some industry pricing guidelines. Plumbers around here are $95/hr, same for a good mechanic, yet I get underbid daily when my target is $75. Largest outfit in town is approximately $50. Makes it tough but I'm not giving up yet.

Hell 300 bucks won't get me to leave the house most days, if I'm taking my personal equipment out. For example my neighbor asked for some work 2 guys 2 hrs if we put effort into it 3 if we bum around and my discounted sexy neighbor price was still 450 bucks and she was more then happy to pay that...
