A bit different, but after 3 years and 2 months, I finally got back onto the slopes in New Mexico. You'll never find me paying $25 for a crappy microwaved ski lodge burger, either. When you're comfortable setting up a camp lunch in the middle of BFE, a 3 minute walk to the parking lot is like prime real estate. Coffee, OJ, beer, Mountain House, my dog, music... and no kids running wild because the parents are on hiatus for that hour of the day

I helped a friend who is new to New Mexico do the front bearings, hubs, and brakes on his Ford Escort.
Hopefully he brings his '94 Bronco to the meeting next month. Here's a shot of us at Fenton Lake a few weeks ago after the snow.

Ford Escort? I didn't think any of those lived past 10 years and it's been a good 20 since they stopped making them.

Them knuckle pics ain't from an Escort, I tell you what.
I didn't think so either. Maybe he meant Exploder or Expedition or Excursion. Dang Ford and all their E-names.
Back to our regular Toyota channel.
My radiator decided to start puking in Death Valley last weekend. It was weird. On the washboard it puked a lot. On pavement hardly any at all. A stop in Furnace Creek for some stop-leak got me home.
I decided "while I was in there" to also replace the belts, hoses, and water pump. I had one of the hoses, and a water pump in the stash. Waiting on AmToy for the other two hoses and belts.

They are absolutely from an Escort, because I finished installing the CVs, replacing a leaking caliper, and the rest of the front end tonight. Then I filled the MT and test drove it to bed in the new brake pads.
I know you have an allergy to being wrong, but that's what's happening here

It was a 1998. Any further questions or skepticisms? Sheeeeesh.

Wow, an Escort has a Pitman arm and runs BFG all terrain tires? Dang.

That picture was taken standing in front of the front wheel of the Bronco. That's a lower ball joint that connects to a lower control arm of a McPherson strut suspension. How old are your eyes getting Ash?

Nope. I'm satisfied and impressed. Now we can all switch to making fun of people that drive Ford Escorts.

My bro's 10 year old son has been asking me to help him build a rifle for his mom for her birthday. Since he had the day off from school yesterday I picked him up and we put her rifle together from parts from his daddy's shop. He put almost everything together himself. I just had to help with a few small parts in the lower receiver. He was sure proud of himself.
I bet I know what those small parts were in the lower receiver. Just went through that two days ago on a new build. Nice job. Was he able to test fire the rifle?

I'll bet you do! I tried to show him the way I do it, but he doesn't have the coordination. Yeah, he ran a mag out of it to test. Ran great.
My wife put this 9mm together last week. It was her first time assembling a "Lego" rifle.
I have another upper/lower set in 9mm that I am going to put together for myself. Got a bunch of supressors waiting on paperwork first though.
Half way on the AR-9mm. Form 1 in process (8.5" SBR). Upper and handguard are back ordered. I have tools that make that pin easier, but not fool proof. It still takes some finesse.

Way cool! I thought about doing my 9mm as a sbr, but I will be putting a supressor on it so I think instead of doing 2 stamps I will just make the supressor " permanent" by doing a blind pin on an 11.5 inch barrel and use the supressor to make up the rest of the 16" length.
I have a lot of the small parts for AR type rifles if you ever need anything.
