Sure seems they made a very simple thing way too complicated and ineffective. They need to consider giving thrives a reason to think twice in case they get caught. You know, consequences.

Other than an armed robbery they don't worry about small stuff since I guess all their merchandise is marked up a bit just to cover loss. Shrinkage. That store isn't going to lose.

On a lighter note cut and split two of the four trailer loads of wood I picked up at the farm last week . Have at least 10 more for next week from this one area . I still have to go into the woods and get more that the loggers left two years ago .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Great to know you have all that wood. I should get back into these woods a friend had logged for the tops before the underbrush. It's been a couple years now as well. Only just was offered it. I'm doing work on the house, so plan to walk the woods to check access and make a plan while there

Went to do a little mowing yesterday. Had a runaway throttle. Took the carb off and saw this. (or lack of this) Pulled the head, knowing those screws went somewhere. :eek: Throttle plate was safe and sound in the intake. No damage to the cylinder. Both valves and seats are fine. They past my hokey leak down test. All de-carboned, cleaned up awaiting new head gasket, plug, and the all important throttle shaft screws. 17yrs something was bound to happen! ;)

I have good neighbors. They watch my house when I'm not here and nobody would want to mess with them. They are some rough boys. Nobody has ever stolen anything from this house. If someone tries to break into this place they ain't going to remember going back out. :lol: "Country Justice' :) |

That piston and head look like it ingested bb's. ;)

I bet the screws were pounded into bbs before they exited the chamber. ;)

Tried to find the problem with the clothes washer. It will randomly peep and flash "Unable to drain" drain it manually from the filter drain (front loader) start it again and it will work for days . Cleaned out the discharge hose nothing . Also checked the drain pipe to the dry well all clear as my Google search said if they were blocked or slow the machine would stop. My next step is to change out the pump .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The top loader washer we had at our previous house quit pumping. I bailed out the water in the tub, got a drain pan and caught the rest, and dropped the pump. It had a bobby pin stuck in the impeller. I showed it to my wife, who said, "I don't use those!". :rolleyes: As a result, every time I find a bobby pin laying around, I toss it in the trash. Neither I nor my three sons ever used bobby pins. I've been tossing them out for over 20 years. I think that they are breeding somewhere in a quiet corner of the house.

Got home from work, went and got shop keys, I walked inside,
looked at my poor baby being neglected, walked back outside. Diesel prices have me reduced to 1 day a week from 5, so it's just stare at her, admire her, and dream about her the other 4. As for the 72, similar story, looked at where it would be sitting if she was home, obviously no work of my own is getting done. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Last year I had the fill valve go up on my washer. Yes, a top-loader, but to me that is just a washing machine. I built a laundry room in the back corner of my house, on a slab. So I realize the washer is still filling and go check. Shoot! water on the floor!! Took me an hour to dry it all up. Then I had to find a fill valve for the 35 year old machine. Ebay to the rescue, reconditioned used, 2yr warranty, $20 free shipping. And people were asking why I didn't just get a new washer. Cuz that would be dumb? :cool:
Last week my friend had the same problem with his washer. The only difference is, when they built their McMansion they put the laundry room on the second floor. Always looking for more convenience, folks these days do that so they don't have to carry laundry up and down steps. I've been doing that all these years without a thought. Never bought a stair-stepper gismo for exercise either. So his wife who doesn't work, for some reason puts a laundry load in before going to bed. The fill valve fails, so the pace flooded down to the main floor and on down to the finished basement. He still doesn't have the verdict from the adjuster, but his kitchen is gutted to bar studs, flooring all pulled up, many other areas stripped to the studs, including the basement. I'd guess at least $60k in damage. Good thing for insurance, but he tells me his policy carries a $10k deductible. Yeeouch! I guess my hour of sopping up water and $20 part doesn't seem so bad now. Neither does walking up and down the steps! |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I hauled another load of junk in yesterday. Everyone keeps screaming it's $400/ton but it hasn't hit here yet. Shred/junk cars is still only $180/ton. my load was only 2.5 tons but it's 2.5 tons of more crap gone. :lol:
