Rescued my dad from potential impalement one day couple months ago. Boy do I have to keep my head on a swivel with him these days.
Glad you’re doing well Don! Gravity sucks
Seen that setting multiple times and love the waves at sunrise and sunset.
If I could have that along with the country sounds of the whipper wills and owls at night, coyotes and turkeys gobbling in the spring I would be set. I’m a sucker for...
Yes.
Been a little back and forth on whether to paint or powder coat. The powder coat would be a lot easier, but they will eventually get scratched and scuffed, so I’ll probably just paint them so that it’s easier to apply some touch up when...
Bobm knows!
Any of you guys running catalytic converters?
I have heard that they cut the sink down.
I have also heard people following me in another rig say me ‘stinky’. :( I don’t like that!
Updates:
Door weatherstripping installed.
Door plastic moisture barriers installed.
Swapped a couple of door cards from Rusty.
New tires and wheels- Toyo 255/85R16’s
Guess I’ll make a quick post since we’re nearly through September.
Straightening of the hood is as done as I’m going to get. Pics don’t really do any justice, so I’ll just hold off until there’s some paint on it.
Went ahead and made my own 5/8”...
I did a thing on the pig this weekend...thanks to all of you who provided a good filler neck reference; I went with the 2” 90° super elbow unit from filler neck supply.
Also, I came across a nice grommet (w/ shipping ~$20) that mates well for...
I believe the switch from R-12 to R-134a began in the late 1980s early 1990s.
Look for R-12 to R-134a adapter fittings "45° to O-ring" and then you could replace all the hoses with newer barrier hose and fittings but unless you're updating your...
a little update.
had a little fall, spent a week in Hospital, a few broken ribs, yada, yada, yada. Home now getting better, off the oxy, feeling stronger everyday , a ways to go. Stay off Ladders after 70!
@riderjgs Oh that is the next chapter of the story I am not in a hurry to read
We keep about 3-4 full cords of wood ready to go… no longer a necessity. It’s easier to tell Alexa to turn up the heat than carry wood.
That doesn’t mean I can ignore...
Just turned 79, headed toward 80 next year Used to say 70 was the new 60. Now thinking 80 may be the new 90. As one of my favorite singer-song writers James McMurtry (son of Larry) says..."It's a damn short movie. How'd we ever get here?"...
Should have papers soon for my daughter to start driving Uncle’s (RIP) 2014 Avenger, only 26K kms on it and still good shape despite sitting six plus years.
Today was battery, oil change, bleed a litre of new brake fluid through it.
I've been working on my meat rabbit coup off and on all Summer. A little steel, welding and a lot of paint. We're real close to getting the rabbits. I had to stop on the coup and cut up some firewood, wore me out all week, now comes the...
I welded a receiver tube on the front of my trailers and have a 9,000lb warn bolted in a cradle, so I can more the winch around to different vehicles, trailers, etc. Works great on the farm, that way it isn't just sitting on one trailer doing...
Got one spring pack reassembled between ESPN Game Day and the afternoon games. I'm very pleased with the end result but these springs are quite the undertaking. I stripped them with those side grinder stripping wheels. That works much better...
Thanks guys ... we are going to paint in the new week or so !
I'm glad you guys appreciate the roof ... of all my builds over the past 15 years this one has me the most excited.
Dash is going for machining $$$, we are also machining 2 new hood...
