Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

"For want of a nail..."

I wasted the entire day away and a tank of gas trying to get ONE GROMMET. I need a rubber grommet with a 3/4" hole to route my main wires through the firewall. I live 45 minutes one-way from the nearest hardware store, so that's quite a trip for one grommet. But when I got there, they didn't have one! I went to another store that stocks them, but the bin was empty! Finally went to Harbor Freight and bought one of their 180 grommet kits. Got it home only to discover that the biggest grommet in the kit was too small.

Result: three hours driving, half a tank of gas, blew away an entire day looking for a simple grommet - that I STILL don't have.
