Lol...I used to have a Pondarosa Lemon Tree. I grew lemons the size of grape fruit. I used to juice them with that. Tree got hit by frost a couple years back and died. Juicer hasn't seen action since. The transformer....your guess is as good as mine!Not to change the subject, but I'm good at it, how does that power juicer work
And why is the door bell tranformer sticking outta the wall above the fuse box?

You wouldn't beleive me if I told you. I ran into a guy with a Big Dog that used to own a Chopper Shop. He offered his services as he still has all the equipment. I bought the tires and new brake rotors and brought them to his shop. I helped him. He argued with me about the arrow on the side of the tire several times. He had no idea how to use the equipment and he charged me $800! Thats just the install! Remember, I bought the tires and rotors elsewhere. Can you say NO LUBE!!! Never talked to the idiot again. Worse yet, he used dish soap to get the bead over the lip of the rim...IT ETCHED THE ALUMINUM!!! Lesson Learned!

LOL!
I want to know why Ker didn't catch it first! He's a fuckin slacker!

He charged $800 for a tire change? The rotor is just 6 bolts and when you already got the wheel off it's about 2 minutes to swap rotors. I hope you got new bearings?

I didn't then, because they had not been that old. I have since put new ones in. He even managed to reverse the rotors! I fixed that as well. He had no clue what he was doing. We worked on getting the rear tire beaded for over 2 hours! Mind you...he owns a Big Dog! Not a forum member BTW.
