[DMCForum] Re: Removing ball joints to install Grady collars

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ah, true. I didn't consider that the force required to remove them
would wreck them. I also didn't know that John sold them for so much less.

I was stuck being the First Aid'er for a girl scout troup at
Baltimore's Thanksgiving Day parade. I kept pace near all of the "Mrs.
Maryland International contestants.

They were not all that and a bag of chips. All in all, I was very
disappointed in the quality of tail there today. Probably the best
one, was one of the troup's kid's mother. A real MILF. Tight jeans,
big rack, thick sweater. 'Nuff said.

Now, back to our regular programming.
