All Activity

i had pork belly with sweet potato and brussels sprouts all slow cooked on the grill.

so true, but back in those days drivers knew their trucks, did not overdrive their brakes, and weight cops tended to leave loggers on log roads alone

I was running all over town trying to find a fitting for my Kubota, until "light dawned over Marblehead" that it was BSPP (British Standard Parallel Pipe). Never occurred to me it would be British, but should have because the Japanese use the British 1/8 x 28 taper pipe for oil pressure indicator port.

Yeah,,, that is just for my starter... I have a bunch of unused parts in my shop. I am actually listing stuff on Facecrook Mkt place, to ease my my cost's and loss's... My wife is.... well.... She is silent right now because I am cutting stuff loose.. I sold a Harley, and I have a bunch of Harley parts to sell,..

If I had only wasted $145... 😂

Bud.... I feel your pain... I am about to TRY something I've never done.. If I fail,, i'm out $145.00 and back to the drawing board I will go...

Who remembers the line from Top Gun. "We regret to inform you that your son died because he was stupid"? Ya, I regret to inform everyone that I'm stupid. 😆 All this BS dealing with getting a new pump, finding out it is tapped for banjo fittings, not NPT. Still having issues keeping fuel pressure, hard time priming, etc,etc,etc. It was the fitting on the inlet for the pump. Back story, original fitting was cross threaded but was good enough to fire it up before installation. After having issues again with priming I found an old fitting but the taper was "damaged, sorta. Tapped with a small hammer is my definition. It worked okay, I thought. I thought it was just the pump, ordered another one. Wrong fittings. I had to order some to try to get it to work, but that is mid next week. I am out today working on it again. Block heater is leaking(fk me). It is behind the starter and oil filter housing. No way to get to it without major undertaking. I googled crows feet(have a set of under 1") found a set 1"-2" on Amazon for $60 and can have them today(Sunday). They showed up and was able to unscrew the block heater and remove it. Yup, small gasket inside had torn and was leaking. Screw that, I am just getting a plug tomorrow as I don't have a need for a block heater. Into the pump, I thrashed through my junk and found a fitting!!!!!! I installed it on the old pump, installed pump, and instantly pumped up 20# in a couple pushes. That's the way it should be! I fired it up and it sat at 25# and when reving it would go up!! Yes!!! It's fixed. I had put a .010 shim in the relief valve so I removed it and it now is back to 20# and wiggles around that area when reving it. Can you see the sigh of relief in my typing??? I finished up the clutch linkage yesterday and got it painted and installed for good. Works too easy!!! I got the floor put back in, just need to cut a patch for the old Triplex opening. Sum bitch this just might come together for next weekend? Just waiting on one fitting for power steering 1" suction line. All other lines are installed and is ready for fluid.

Not a lot of room to play around mounting an alternator to the side of these blocks. This was my solution to adding a 100 amp, one wire GM alternator to my 220. Fairly simple to fabricate one. I couldn't find anything in all my scrounging to mount it, so I made one.

I just added 4 burger patties to the pan.. I had to cook them off by monday..

I have no doubt.

Geoff,,,That’s kind of weird … ordinarily most of the hotspots have better weather and are very expensive , but I expect not. Everybody cares about warm weather me,, I like it nice and hot and close to beaches I should have stayed in LA now I can’t go back.$$$$just a cracker box down there with no yard is 900,000 and up

Well,,, Just some leg quarters here.. Soaked in a seasoned brine over night. slow smoked to lock in the natural juices with brine infusion.. brought to you by-- Busch Light... an American Tradition... 🍻

I’ve had lousy luck with loves Winnemucca Nevada. They’re always shorthanded. That’s what a tow driver told meLast time. I was in there. I was right in front of the door there for four hours. Glad I’m done. They’ll never see me again two brand new F350 service trucks that never moved the entire four hours

It might have been Loves 🤔 Yellow/orange limited service! Spokes I could always do faster cheaper myself. If it is 90 deg a humid and I have an inner disk wheel, I am not doing that with hand tools if I don't have to.

Love's also!!! I Had to call an outside mobile tire man for a container after Love's said NO.. He said we will do it in the street in front of their shop so they can see the money they are losing!!!

Most of the QT's down here also carry non-ethanol.. It usually has a separate nozzle on the pump, usually the center bays, Like the diesel on the end bays.

Bozeman/Belgrade area has grown a lot. Location near to Yellowstone and the headwaters of the Missouri and the climate is better then other areas in Mt along with University and medical options all make it an attractive to "suburban" type growth. If you like living out by yourself it is a nightmare, if you want suburbia in a rural state, you'll feel right at home. Mostly populated by people from outside the state. I think I remember hearing it was one of the places in the US that was growing the quickest.

Somebody was telling me the same thing about Bozeman Montana. I used to run there occasionally. It was very small and I understand it is no longer small.

Oh one more thing it doesn’t end there they just keep building and building and building more and more houses everywhere they could find an open square inch It’s ridiculous. I wish I had the money to move out of here six matching numbers, baby. I would be packing today.

Yeah, I probably mentioned it before when I moved to Reno 32 years ago, there was nothing here now all we got is cars, lights, and too many people I don’t even like to drive anywhere anymore here

Gets giterdone every little bit helps.. bob

I’m priming the frame today

Traffic is ridiculous everywhere nowadays. I get out here to 460 and there's lines of traffic in both directions any time of day. We went by the Walmart store in Winfall yesterday. I had to pick up a prescription and I was sitting in the parking lot waiting for Zina, she had to pay for a few items that she picked up. Here's a random Walmart parking lot picture- I can get non ethanol gas at the Sheetz in Concord, I think it's 90 octane too. But of course it's the most expensivest gas. I heard that the issues with non ethanol is like Brocky was saying, vehicles that aren't run on a regular basis and the gas sits in them for a long period of time. That's why I use it in the generator, mowers, all the small engines. And from now on the Zinamobile.
