Hey Billy boy. Try again. Ain't nothing there. :icon14:

You username turns a sweet orange. And you get promised decals that never arrive.

That's about it.

Also we're pretty sure it's just padding AK's estate, as he must have died from covid... no other reason someone could be so irresponsible as to take money for a product and then not provide the product.

Went to my brother's place and got his pool filter to use with my pool. He's taking his pool down.

My truck beat me up, and I'm feeling it. :icon14: Got the rear King shocks on. The King shocks are about 2.5" longer and are pressurized to 250 psi. I had to lift the rear of the truck up and have both rear tires off the ground. Bolt the top of the shocks in place. Then use a small bottle jack to lift the shock up so that I could lever it into place.

Got the front driver's side shock on. The front King shocks are about 4" longer. Disconnect the sway bar. Remove limit strap. Loosen up the master cylinder so that I could wiggle it. Jack the driver side up. Fight the old shock out. Start to install new shock. Jack the truck way up. Wiggle it into place. Mount the new remote reservoir. Had to move a ground cable to make room for the remote reservoir. The hole I was going to use stripped out. :mad: Had to retap the hole bigger and find another bolt to use.

I always hate changing shocks out on my truck. Not as fancy as yours though. I use Bilstein yellow/Blue. On my 2nd set.

Used, abused, and recycled reps. :tiphat:

The Bilstein yellow/blue was oem on my truck. I replaced them with custom valved Bilstein 7100 with remote reservoir. Now I got custom valved Kings. The Kings are massive. :eek: I'll post pic's tomorrow.

be strong dude.

I know that feeling. I didn't want to get out of bed this morning. My knees were not hurting. Can't say that now.

Yesterday, I was working on my dad’s house when a friend of a friend stopped by for look and was really interested in it. We texted back and forth a couple of times last night, and made arrangements for him to bring his wife by today, and she loves it! Says he’ll have a purchase agreement @ full asking price tomorrow!

The house is a 2,300 sq. ft. Bi level 5 bed room 2 bath, 2 1/2 car garage with added on car port, on 4 secluded wood acres, surrounded by 3,800 acres of state land.

My mom passed away 25yrs.ago and although my dad kept up with the major updates, ( roof, windows, furnace, a/c.....) he didn’t do much on the inside and that’s why I’ve had the paint and flooring done.

What makes this a deal is the kitchen needs a total gut and the deck that stretches the length of the back of the house needs redoing, in total about 45k.... but this guy is in the trades and can do the needed work for about 1/2 that.
His house is ready to sell, so he can sell his present house at the top of the market and get out of the city, and buy dad’s house at below market due to needed repairs, and we ( as the price would go up accordingly ) can save 20k in brokers fees ! Win, Win !!

:tup:

I'm feeling really beat up. Feeling my age and then some. :shakes head:

Morning Folks :hello:

Hey there fellas, how's it going? Good weekend - lawn got the first cut of the season, spackling in the bathroom, surprise party for my FIL. Wife surprised me yesterday by attempting to replace the window motor in the truck. Got a little stuck midway through and needed a hand, but still I'm impressed she gave it a shot solo.

That's awesome! Sounds like an amazing property, well away from people (the best kind)! I'm glad it's working out so well for you Rick.

rock on rick, this is good news.:tup:

Good morning everyone,
Thanks guys!

Got my Honda back from loaning it to my fiancee's oldest boy. I think he drove it 20 miles total...;)

Decided to put on the new wiper transmission and the new fuel pump module I ordered from Rock Auto a couple of months back. Well, things didn't go quite as planned. I got the old wiper motor & trans out, but broke the cowl piec that goes over the driver's side wiper post. No biggie, I'll just use some duct tape to hold it together. :tup: Swapped the wiper motor onto the new trans, and put it in the car. Wipers no work, trans no go back & forth.... :icon14: Cowl off, and double check... dummy, you didn't put enough 'ugga-duggas' on the nut that holds the trans to the wiper. Applied 'ugga-duggas' and tried again. Trans goes back and forth, YA!!!! Install wiper arms... no workie.... WTF? :confused::confused: Moved wiper arms to middle of windshield, try again. Wipers jam up, passenger one gets stuck on driver's side... WTF?!?!?! Take it all apart and try again. I did this for 2 hours until I got smart and looked at the Haynes manual sitting on my shelf in the garage... When I didn't put enough 'ugga-duggas' on the nut holding the trans to the motor, it was 180 degrees out. Removed arm, installed correctly..... :icon14::icon14: wipers work.... whew....

Now for the fuel pump module. Should be easy, it's under the rear seat......:rolleyes: All comes apart easily, going back together..... WTF? I spent 30 minutes trying to put the new retainer that holds the module in the tank before I grabbed the old one and put it all back together. :gtfo2:


I started all this chit at about 11, and finished about 2 pm. It should have been about 90 minutes max..... :shakes head::shakes head:

You have to figure that every job you do. Will take 4 times longer than planned. Yesterday I started to replace the shocks on the truck at 12:30. Got 3 on by 8. Figure that should have taken me 4 hrs for all 4 shocks. :icon14:

Very un motivated today. Schedule for the week. 12:30 to 9. :shakes head: Roy is on vacation. So Joe moves to cover for him. I move to cover for Joe. :shakes head: But I'm taking Thursday off to get my second covid shot. And taking Friday off too. Going to tell them that the shot made me sick. A lot of the people at work who got the 2nd shot called off the next day. I'm going to be just like them. :tup:

Watch out for those 'self-fulfilling prophecies'.... :icon14:

Wifey got the 2nd shot last week. She wasn't feeling good the next day. So, I figured it's going to happen to me too.

This describes virtually every car project I've ever done, most notably ones where I've told Megan it'll be quick...

There is no quick car projects. They all become an ordeal. :icon14:

Feels like I'm living in a Far Side cartoon. :shakes head: Can't wait for 9 to get here.

ssup dudes, fellow kin folk. :hello:

:hello:

And tonight’s featured special “The Train Robbers” :tup:

I think my dog is special.

Why do all my photos attach sideways? On my phone and when I upload them they’re correct. But after posting they aren’t.

JCHammond fk'd up the photo upload interface. Try turning your phone 180 degrees before taking the pic.

You have to quit giving your camera out and letting other people use it. :shakes head:

:iagree:

:hello::hello::hello:

Here's some pic's of the shock install on the truck. :tup:

Back in Zion with dad. Appointments start at 6 am with a covid test then a nerve block after that. Fingers crossed this works and he can stop taking the morphine. He is on a bunch and it shows. Staying focused on anything is a challenge for him.

On the up side he has a lot more energy and is not in as much pain as he was friday. No wheelchair to get in the hotel and he wanted to push the luggage cart. We only had to make 1 pitstop vs 3 on the way home friday and that was just for the bathroom and a fresh water. Friday he just couldn't take the bumps anymore and needed to rest.

I'll have about 2k miles logged from Thursday until I get home tomorrow.

Time for some shut eye. It's becoming a rare commodity.
