It was just one of those days folks. I swear anything I got near either broke, fell apart, was on backorder, shipped to the wrong address, was wrong or just plain didn't fit! I am glad this doesn't happen every day I'll tell you that much. Funny thing was I thought I had a handle on things and stole this job from Josh to have an "easy job," I could show the people. Well, you saw how that went haha. Till next time. -Eric O. PS: I seem to be getting an overwhelming amount of comments stating I did not put the rubber cap on the right side shock. You might want to skip ahead to the 22:45 😅

Pearls of wisdom from Mrs O.: “What’s *really* wrong? Nothing.” Love that the two of you are a team, just as it should be. If one’s having a bad day, the other’s there to help out, even if it’s just to lend an ear. You’re both very lucky to have each other, and it’s a genuine pleasure to see you both together.

The repair issues and errors that are made are very helpful to everyone. The best lesson learned is that not everything will go by the $25 repair book. Often it is these few extra steps that are needed to be able to complete the job and then some. It's one of the great parts of this channel in that these are included when they do happen, instead of often edited out to the night time after shot as in some others.

I had the chance to purchase an Exxon station back in 1985 as the owner was just too old to operate this business. I really wanted this station as it was located in a busy intersection. He had a great reputation for great service and long standing customer relations. About 2 weeks later I went back to make and sign a deal. I had two other great mechanics that I would bring along. The next morning the owner was rushed to a hospital with a stroke and passed away. His wife was there and I spoke to her about the business. She said he was over worked and the station was always open for service 7-5:00pm 5 days a week. Pump gas open 365 days 7-9:00pm. She said do I have children and said yes. She said he very seldom saw his kids or her. I decided right there it wasn't for me. I stayed at the dealership for 12 years and decided to attend college at night and earn a automotive degree. Once I received my 2 year degree I was offered a job with the state as an automotive Instructor. I continued my education and earned my Masters degree in Special Ed and social work. I continued teaching automotive and attended GM, Chrysler,Toyota and Honda. I earned 2 Masters with Honda out of Mt. Holley NJ. I finally retired in 2012 from the state and glad I took her advise. With your knowledge of automotive you could really benefit by trying 2-3 nights a week at a local automotive school teaching part time. I wish you the best and slowdown!!!! John

Great video as always. Love the screwups, the diags, and the interactions you have with Mrs O & Luna. It's always a good day when I see you've posted a new video.

You’ve got your health and your family. You ain’t doing too bad 😉 Keep up the good work. It’s when things start going wrong that people start a-rigging and cutting corners - which you don’t do (which is awesome) 👍

I was hoping Mrs O to give you a huge hug. Anyway, you know there will be many days like this. Just remember. She's got your back and that's something that not many people have.

Exactly. We all get to thinking no one's had the BS day we just had Then Eric O shows us a Ford V10 triton where all the exhaust manifold bolts break but not above the manifold so it can be easily removed. Gets agitated and starts making a video on the other side where not a damn thing went difficult As is tradition in Manifolds 200:5688 "And thou wilt break the knuckle whenst time has come to break the knuckle. It is the toil of man and by extension his resolve to not be beaten what powers the true lineage of mechanics." Ps: see also "gah damn pos thing!" And "She's about to loosen up *tiny!* FUUUU!" LMAO sometimes ya wave the magic wand Other times the wand is a bat coming for your some. So it is so shall it be

As a tech, these days do happen. Just one mistake ruins your whole day and it always seems to fall apart after. Sucks to see someone with more knowledge still have these days. Guess they will never go away
