I was trying to decide whether to keep mine or not. The vacuum pump is so much easier for quick bleeding. But for a full bleed, the power bleeder is nice because you don't have to keep checking the reservoir.

It did make the job easier/faster until I stripped the reservoir cap on my Z. I guess I didnt have the bleeder cap secure. I ended up gravity bleeding my brakes.

I was thinking about those too before I got the motiv. Might try some next time I have to bleed one of the cars. Which one did you get/try?

What did you strip? The master cylinder reservoir?

One of the plastic tabs. Not too bad, just the corner of it, but it was enough to keep the bleeder cap from making a good seal.

Is this the feeling you get after being with the same company 20+ years? I could never let myself be with the same employer for that long.

It's a job, it is not supposed to be fun. I am working my arse off right now due to the Rona. Keeping a Wireless network up and running full steam ahead takes hard work and many good people. Folks are depending on us for their ability to communicate whether it is a phone call or any data application. Many folks are using our network to work from home. So yeah, there is lots of pressure on us to perform.

Performance pressure is a real thing, right Jarbooboo?

I remember a trip to NYC when I was in middle school (so 1992ish) the teacher told us not to make eye contact with people on the sidewalk. Kid had already been mugged in the airport when we arrived and lost nearly $1K in spending cash - lol serves him right, privileged fckr. My parents sent me with $40 spending cash for the trip
Anyway, I took that as a challenge. Even got one guy to say "fùck you" to me as we passed simply because I was smiling and staring at him with such an on-top-of-the-world-shìt-eating-grin. Teacher grabbed my arm and quickly pulled me away as I responded with "have a nice day". To this day it tickles me how shitty that guy's life much have been to just blurt out like that to a 12 year old

Nowadays, I look for the azzhole glued to their phone. Line myself up with them and stop 10 ft in front of them and brace for impact. Best case scenario is I have something to drop so I can just give them that much more shìt about paying attention to where they are walking. Or they just fall over from the impact (haven't done that one in a while )
