C'mon, if it were you guys we'd be trying to help you out if you were in a pinch or needed advice. Last time I looked this thread didn't really have a "topic" to stay on track with......

No, didn't forget about it Mike. I also remember deleting all my posts to so it didn't clutter this thread. It's not just myself getting tired of it, it's several others as well. It's kind of hard not to read it when it's talked about in several different threads...not just this one. That's why I suggested maybe they should start a thread. Maybe use the PM option on this site. Just sayin...

No offense Joe. I wish the best for you and hope you find work so you can start living a healthier life.

I understand about Joe posting his problems in other threads, that was getting repetitive and was the reason I offered some advice. But, this was really the first thread where people were actually offering some advice/help or really talking about the issue. With that being said, IMO I thought what you wrote came across a bit selfish. Besides, it's sort of a touchy subject to be posting about Joe's problems in a dedicated thread for all to read. This "Orygun Guys" thread is sort of a catch-all for the handfull of guys that actually read it on a regular bassis and know Joe in person. Someone from Texas probably doesn't read the "Orygun Guys" thread, but they might read a dedicated thread that's titled "My Life Sucks" or something like that... Just sayin...

I do more reading then posting, but I must admit this topic has been brought up in many threads other then this one and it get's old reading. I guess my question is why is he wasting his time on a website complaining about it when he should really be out hitting the street trying to find a job? Seems like a no brainer to me.

I'm far from pissed Joe I was just venting because I see the same topic day after day. Then again, like Mike said, I don't have to read and who the F am I anyways. I understand your frustrations about the job market as I was there myself a couple years back. Don't stop posting on my behalf man! If it releases stress then go for it.

Its ok todd, i dont hold it against you :-) and tim it was just the tip that was broken off. The weld is now the strongest point in the spindle. It looks great and the guy that did the job is a superior welder. Besides it only really has to hold long enough to get the car up to my dads where it will sit for quite a long time untouched lol

Also, this really iant the place to be venting every fucked up detail about my life. I realize that its been goin on for a while and im not gonna post about it anymore just cuz i dont really want stuff so personal on a site for the world to see. It was my mistake to be posting it over and over and over again. ive never had this many problems before but things always get better eventually.

Well i might end up driving on it more eventually. It made a clean break and the guy that did the work said that it is welded all the way thru. A good weld should be the strongest point in the peice now from what i learned in highschool welding class as long as it was done by someone who knows what they are doing. Sorry tim, im just really hoping your wrong about the weld lol

I just picked up the spindel. It is a full penetration weld and it will be strong enough for what ever i need it for. U cant even tell it was welded at all. It looks damn good. Bad news is, i busted the speed sensor when i was removing the spindle so i have to pull one off my extra part.
