We have a Dog Issue ("YES, we WILL talk about Bruno")

I dabbled in pacifism once.   Not in 'Nam, of course.

As far as leash training it is very simple yet requires a LOT of patience.

Once your dog starts pulling just walk in the opposite direction. The dog will pull that way as well, but you must continue changing direction every time.

The dog will eventually give up and watch for you to lead.

I recommend a backpack full of beer for this training exercise.

Please people check out a gentle leader before you go down the pinch collar route. It is more effective than any kind of harness or collar I've ever used. I'm disgusted with myself that I used a prong collar on my dog in college.

I just want to say thanks to this thread.  I sold my recently deceased father's truck for cash, title in hand.  I kept the plates, registartions sticker and toll tag. We filled out the online transfer of title notice before handing over the keys.  Nice guy buyer sent me a picture the same day with new plates and registration sticker on the truck.

Square deal.  No BS.  Thanks Surly.

This pendejo had all that sweet downtime off the roofs with the ice storms and still no action. His phone Still doesn't work.
I'm starting to think think this guy is a piece of shit
I mean the first few DMs from others that also got burned kind of confirmed matters, but maybe he's just misunderstood?

Fuck face

So this shit still hasn't been taken care of? Jesus. On the upside, he's probably about to be flush with insurance cash fixing all the roof damage from the ice storm. On the downside, he's going to be driving all over town racking up tolls.

Did you ever sell the avalanche?

@Gil Bang Haha not nascar, we had a stint in transmissions, differentials and other driveline parts in the road racing industry for a bit. Manufacturing, distribution, sales, and service. The only thing I got out of that past life is a cool story, a near bankruptcy and a need to race cars before I die. 

Wait! Wait! Wait! Sooooo...tranny stuff?

Dude, not cool.

I had an employee that used the word “tranny” at work, he wasn’t well liked, I fucking cringed every time he said it. So yeah, not cool and true at the same time. Grrrr.

When I was first around car people regularly, I thought the same. And that was before it had any real gender connotations. It’s redneck slang.

I was just being an asshole, poking with it. Certainly not meaning to offend. It was a hanging curveball.

No issue but I reported you. J/k.  I have thicker skin than most of y’all realize. I generally can sense people’s intention. It was ironic though because I was struggling at the time and he would not stop. Keep in mind we would sell 4-5 new transmissions or transaxles per month and repair another 8-10. It was a front and center term and I would wince every time. 

I would reckon I've used tranny in place of transmission at a 25/1 clip.  Don't know why, but I know it's been that way at least 20 years and has not a single thing to do with the LGQBT movement.  I would also estimate it's me dog cussing a 4L60e, and now a 6L80e problem child about 75% of those times. 

Likewise, I refer to transmission as tranny all the time.

Still got it. I have too much invested to give it away for what other folks think it’s worth. My son is 13, so I’ll just keep it for his first truck in a couple of years.  I need to drive it more so the few original things on it don’t rot while it’s in storage. 
 

I fired it up after my dads funeral. Other than a dead battery, it ran like a top. The interior is unbelievably clean.

Correct! 

Just checked and the roofer hasn't posted since 1/4 and hasn't logged on since 1/5.

Poor Bruno.

How/where did you guys exchange the truck? Do you not know where he lives?

Nah, she seems like the type of gall who would strap one on and give it a go.

I would argue she has actually gotten better looking as she's aged. Mary Steenburgen is the same way.

So.  Been nearly a month. [mention=1009]ROFL BOX[/mention] is this over?
No this piece of shit can't be bothered to answer his phone much less do the right thing.

Surprising amount of DMs from people that have had problems with him in the recent past.

He probably dumped the dog or something equally shitty.

I'm discussing options with an attorney.

Might drive down to Drip later.

Look for the guy parked in the handicap spot?

 

He had some momentum, looked like he was fighting back.  I'm assuming he's not too busy for this board as he used to post here a lot.

I sent him a bunch of stuff from our interaction around January 4th...I am sure it's all a big coincidence.

Again not wanting to take sides but looking for clarity.   How many miles did you drive the truck before the engine died and you’re asking them to pay for your tolls?
