So get this. Yesterday I ordered some grease on the O'Reilly Auto Parts web site. At the time it said it would be in the store this morning by 10:30am. So having not heard from them I call down to the store to see if it's in. The first call goes unanswered of course. The second time some smart-ass picks up and I explain that I'm expecting the grease in this morning by 10:30 to which he replies "It's only 10:17 boss" like super annoyed, like I was jumping the gun on them or something. He says "We'll call you when it's in" to which I replied "Okay, sorry to rush you guys </sarcasm>" and hung up.
Yeah, that's a guy that'll never go anywhere in life. Too many in the younger crowd believe themselves to be better than the position they currently hold. They don't get the nature of the beast, that one has to start somewhere and it's rarely at the top.

Did you call back at 10:31?...

Agree on the "going nowhere fast" thing! Nah, I had to run some other errands. The auto parts store was the last stop and if they didn't have it I was just gonna cancel it and get it on Amazon.

But O'Reilly is on the sucklist. I'll prefer Autozone before those Seawards.

Fortunately, the cunt that I talked to on the phone was on the phone when I walked in so one of the other (more polite) employees helped me.

I picked up this bad buoy while I was out.

After the BJs install the other day I was counting the number of things (zerk count over 10) I gotta grease, including the RCVs that take quite a bit of grease, and thought it a good acquisition.

Steveo’s shipping and receiving table. Also sometimes used as the dinner table. 😂

Rarely. :LOL: Pretty much only when you're down. And then only cleared enough for two plates. :CWL:

I think I finally did manage to get all the RCV grease off the table cloth.

Chance are the nitwit would've been just as polite. Too many telephone tough guys nowadays.

Anyways, the important part is that you have your Jeep lube.

Yup!

But now I'm reading about "grease incompatibilities" which means I might have to thoroughly clean out the RCV grease before switching to the Redline. I might just use the grease from the new non-FAD box.

Yeah. I'm just gonna bite the bullet now and clean them and use the Redline

Those RCV cunts don't even put any specs on the tube and it says "safety data sheet available on request". I'm sure if I emailed a request I'd never get a response. Fuck them.

It's "black moly" grease. The Redline is "red moly" grease and it specifically says "superior to black moly grease" on the label and it's a third the price, so that's what's getting smeared in there!

Plus, the red moly won't show as much on the orange boots and knuckles. Win win
