You sure we ain't brothers? It's almost like you can read my mind. 
Looks like San Angelo is most likely like my next home for awhile. Might have to get something going.

yep, reminds me of the incident that cured me of throwing things when i get mad. I was working on the motor in my first car (a 66 mustang) the bolt snapped while I was really cranking on it so of course i busted my hand pretty good. i was instantly furious and threw the wrench...which bounced off the top of the motor and put a freakin dent in my hood fro the inside . so i'm standing there thinking to myself "so, the bolts still broken, you're still bleedin and NOW you have a dent in your hood...dumbass!" learned on the spot to walk away for a minute and chill-out...so far its been 30 years without any more air-born tools :-)

Kinda opposite for me Wolf, I been wrenching on cars for 30 years and this is the 1st time I really blew up! I think it's genetic. My Dad used to throw tools at me. I can't say that I did not deserve it most the time though. You are 110% correct - just walk away - good air in, bad air out.

Left Side:
And the right Side:

Got the shocks installed and the brakes back together. I'm going to eye ball the alignment then take it down and get the front end aligned.
