People say I never rest, so I clearned my squedual and mind and just been hanging inside. 2 movies in & warm blackberry pie. Maybe later I'll go out side and work in my garage, maybe not.
Put new torsion springs in snowmobile, fabbed and installed a 65 amp alternator on my john deere tractor to replace toasted stator to power 4 headlights, rotating light, Wiper and running lights for night plowing, fixed broken glove box in truck , going to local brewery for dinner and home brew.
*** -42 degrees? as in NEGATIVE 42? I've NEVER seen it that low, even in my Navy career on North Atlantic cruise off Norway in Feb. It was so cold that we only had ONE of the SIX air circulation/ cooling fans running. Icicle hangig off the vent pipe about two feet away from the operating "super six hundred" PSI boiler. Wearing foul weather jackets in the operating engineroom just seems SO WRONG!!! Hey Ronnie, spare me a piece of that pie! Looks GOOD! Just need a little vanilla ice cream on the side. MMMMM!
Put the rear bumper back on the Riv, again! Dunno why I cant seem to get a correct fitting bumper. Sort of over this. After it got adjusted as well as its gonna get it had one "ear" on the top left corner sticking out about a 1/2" more than it should have and knowing better did it anyway, took a block of wood wrapped in a soft rag and a 5lb hammer to it. It did move closer to where it should be but also cracked the new chrome. Its not bad but will get worse over time. Another 700.00 down the toilet. After that I worked on the deck project until it started to get to cold outside. Hope to have that done by the end of the week. I'm all but over that too!
Been playing carpenter for the last week. Doing a remodel of the bathroom, living room, and 2 bedrooms. Which includes redoing the electrical. Hopefully I will be almost done this week as I have to go back to work next week.
Finished up the Gear Vendors OD install in the '64. Gotta pick up all my tools clean up the floor drop it off jack stands and take it out for a test drive. Got gears? I got lots of 'em! (thanks to LARRY70GS)
That's what I'm doing today as well, been wearing the carpenter, plumber, electrician hat on and off for almost a year myself,...probably have another year to go b4 I can hang that stuff up
Had a request for a new bedside cabinet. Been a while since I dabbled with wood but it turned out pretty nice. I had help. SWMBO would kill me if she knew I posted this
My 14 year old F150 was ready for one (but I changed both) u-joint. Saved at least a couple if not four or five hunert bucks. Spicer u-joint on Amazon $26; press $47.
Cleaned up my Fuel/brake line brackets with a wire wheel (after sitting in evaporust for a week or two) and then painted with a rattle can POR top coat. Well, it’s what I did Sunday.
Started work on my gauges I got from Autometer . This little guy was a bugger to get off but finally did it . Will be doing more after work this week weather permitting
I’ve been on vacation all month pretty much. I don’t do plumbing so I have a guy coming in to replace the toilet, sink, and tub ( going in same place) so it’s easy on the guy.
