Un cuento de dos cerditos

[WrongsideDaily]

Stuck driving the wife’s Prius? The same thing that makes me enjoy your thread is holding you back, gotta focus on one. Otherwise you’re pushing 5 at a snails pace

I love(d) my Prius! Best $600 car I ever bought! When the hybrid battery died I bought a $400 Matrix XRS instead of bus bars and a few cells. I'm not quite sure if I have BPD, ADHD, or maybe

But I somehow ended up with this; 2zzge/c60, XRS rear disc swap that got derailed by me deciding I needed to go to GSMTR. Needs clutch/brake pedal assembly, fuel/brake/clutch plumbing, an MRS p/s pump eliminating bracket/pulley, and me to care again. CVs are bolted up, shifter and cables are mounted and functional. Like everything else, so close yet so far...

I played around in the junkyard with Yaris parts a bit and am fairly confident about being able to make it all work, but as you pointed out, projects on projects have been really shaking me down for the last of my farthings

All this project talk makes me realize I need another Cressida

Once rage quit a job with a good friend in Boston after we got s*** hammered and forced him into trespassing at the harbor to pour lipton in it. Told him we needed to get back to our roots. Being black, he said that wasn't his roots, so I snagged his bottle of E&J and hopped the fence and whatdya know, he was pouring tea in a harbor. Last thing I remember was checking out Fenway (a bucket-list for me) while waiting for the first thing smoking outta town across the street.

In other news, BIG UPDATE!

JK, dinduuffin but hammer a few of these while blaring 'More Than A Feeling' out the back of the green turd and trying to figure out the connection between Houston and Boston. I'm still confused.

Dude anything from Melinda’s is great! If you can do spice, this is magic. I mix it with Balsamic vinaigrette and do these smoked pork steaks or loins over shredded cabbage with Greek yogurt and sunflower seeds with that dressing combination for lunches quite a bit if I’m not smoking burgers. I absolutely LOVE smoking meat. I have officially reached old age.

We're going to need some specifics - is the habanero honey mustard and balsamic vinaigrette a marinade for the meat, or a dressing for the cabbage/greek yogurt? It sounds like the cabbage and greek is a side dish?

I used it as a binder here for the pepper blend. I've found the HEB garlic pepper grinder blend has damn near the perfect amount of salt for a great Texas style BBQ seasoning. Add a little 16 mesh pepper to even the proportions and it makes a mean bark on brisket and pork butts. I always have a hard time considering moving out of state because I've centered my eating habits around a Texas only market

I think I'm picking up what you're throwing down.
That sounds like a mean blend!

Any updates?

Almost sold these things but i couldnt do it. Life has been lifing. There's no budget, but f135 has entered the chat. This thing made a beer run two days ago in the 45 I helped yank it from so I know its a runner. Going back in time and swapping the JT outfitters discs for OEM drums plus the 135 feels right. Me on the road with your family amd farm fixed high steer fwels right. If we die, we die. Good luck fellow Texan travelers, just deal with my insurance.

Clutch is basically new. I need to snag some OEM clutch/flywheel hardware since this f135 had aftermarket bolts installed. The f155 should have what I need to get me by and I would like to inspect that clutch anyhow. Someone finger painted the rear main on this with silicone, but I think I'm just gonna leave those worms in the can.
