also bought a honda civic with 300k on it to drive to work and back... it needs a new engine so I picked up a used one last week... hope to get that in this weekend. more pics to come...


also got a new 63 engine coming for the skidoo... pics to come... busy as s***...

Great s***-house Bob!



That is one hell of an upgrade over the old one!

I cannot wait to break that in up at the cabin!



Hows that '29 Model A pickup coming?

engine hit 100 hours... still has not blown up.... pic of the first run of the year (well only run of the year) up to my cabin!!!

Cramer is going to be here this weekend we are going to pound in that ARB. I got the rear axel all apart now waiting.... more pics to come of that...

 

[1973Guppie]

that smoker is really cool, nice work.....

 

[apeterson]

Well the weekend came and went..... great times....... got an ARB in the rear axle!!!!

I had this all pulled out before steve got here on friday!

the diff before and after the copper tube install

 

[apeterson]

back together

 

[apeterson]

I forgot to take a pic of the pump and switches all installed...

 

[apeterson]

since I had not ever welded on the tombstone soft line holders then we decided to do that and since we were doing that we decided run a new brake line on the rear axel.

 

[apeterson]

well......... now the fun stuff... hahhaha

I turned my other bedroom in to an office so Steve always has to sleep in the living room on an air mattress.. Since he is kind of a mousey SOB he complains if s*** is not just how he likes it…..

Sooooooooooooooooooooo since I was drinking a few cocktails on Thursday night I decided I would “dress up” his accommodations……………..



Planting the seed…….

Phone call…..

Steve “ya… why are you calling me.”

Me “just wanted to make sure you park in the back of the house”

Steve “ill do what I want”

Me “ well as long as that includes parking in the back you can”

Steve “why does it matter”

Me “stop asking questions”

Now knowing steve would get to my house before I got off work I figured he would need a little sign to welcome him…. (PS not a good pic of it.... I was nailed to a saw horse in the back yard)

 

[apeterson]

And there are signs along the way.... here are a few of them...

 

[apeterson]

Once you got into the house………. I had turned it into a “true up north weekend experience” but with all the comforts of home….. hahahaha…

Yes…. I have issues……

 

[apeterson]

complete with an indoor fire pit!!!

 

[apeterson]

and what would be complete without a fully stocked mini fridge.........
