Weekend just past, my brother calls me on the friday to ask if he can use my workshop to do “a couple of wee jobs” on his motor, so he doesn’t have to stand in the rain.
“Sure thing, i’ve a couple jobs to do but you’ll be grand.”
sat morning he asks if i’ve a jack and a receptacle for him to do an oil change.
“Oil change?! I thought you were doing a couple SMALL jobs, like wiper blades and bulbs?”
“Lol yeah sort of.”
Valve cover gasket. And of course muggins here did the majority of the job... over a 14h shift from Sat 4pm - Sunday 6am.
And here’s me modifying one of those stupid “E8” sockets because the profile was too large to fit into the gap the bolt was in...
don’t think i’m getting paid for this one, either... and was pleasantly surprised to wake up on Sunday afternoon to a picture in the family whatsapp group of my other brother out for a massive fry, courtesy of the one who’s car I’d fixed!!!
