Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I finally caved in and bought the card table today.

And here's the ugly bench that I got in trouble for because I said it was ugly.

That thing is about as comfortable as sitting on a porcupine. But she likes it. :rolleyes:

Almost a lost art.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Surely you must have made her mad before hand.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

:lol: Indeed! That thing it hijous! (yeah, I know, hideous, but it deserves a bad spelling for such an ugly thing. Tastes do vary, though).

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Oh man, I don't know what you did this time but that's payback right there, plain and simple. ;)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Finally moved the old coffee table out of the garage and over to my place by the river.

The thing in the box on the right is a gargoyle. He's going on the patio tomorrow.

Could be that her taste is all in her mouth !!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Put the ugly bench in back today. My gargoyle seems to like it.

And the Blackjack table. Still a work in progress. That sucker is heavy.

cleaning up a few minor things on the kid's 'bird
came home the other day and i could feel the heat pouring off the fr dr brake.

just for looks....some stainless exhaust tips
Attachment 2210048

and like Boogs ordeal, 3rd times a charm for some hatch struts. no one local had hatch struts for a 31 yr old car so went online. first set advertised for 82-92 camaro/firebird hatch struts. got my money back, but they wanted me to eat the shipping and a 15% restock fee, they said i ordered the wrong ones. i sent them a screenshot of the ad stating for the hatch, what i got was a set for the hood. so they refunded my money for the struts, but not the shipping, but told me i could "dispose" of the old struts....naw, for $14 i got a spare set of struts if the hood ones ever fail. here's what they sent me...seems to be a little short

second attempt ordered some from amazon. they took my money and made me wait 2 weeks, then out of the blue emailed me saying they were refunding my money (?) which they did.
3rd attempt at getting struts was finally a success. prob one of the better things we done to the 'bird, that friggin' hatch is HEAVY!
no more broom handle...:lol:

I like the table think I might do that to the trolly I have

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I get a lot of comments on that table. I got it for $100 and it's easy to move around. :)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I saw that cowhide on the couch, and at first I thought that your GSD had gutted the couch...again. Then I realized that it was just a throw. :lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

A great pairing -- they look like they were made for each other!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My GSD has mellowed out a lot. Now I have to watch the Corgi. She's still got some puppy in her and she's very strong for a small dog. She chases my GSD around. He runs and hides from her. :lol: She is one little mean motor scooter.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

It fits perfectly. I couldn't believe it. It's like it was made for it. Go figure? :confused:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Worked at the track this weekend.....

Perfect day to get firewood … NOT.. You know it’s hot when the bar oil comes out of the jug like water. Have to get this pile out of the way as the fill keeps coming. I felled 4 fairly large oaks but couldn’t pull them out so they got buried . But there is so much wood at this location I’ll be cutting for years .

This was Saturday, too tired to make a post. My
7 hour trip turned into a 12 hour trip + cost me
an extra $552 I had not planned on spending...

*Purchased my trailer Labor Day 2013, guess it
was time to replace a set of tires. :lol: No Cracks
on any of them, full thread, and stored indoors.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

The caption on your tire picture could read "No Tread On Me" :metal:

:rolleyes:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

OUCH! That scares me. I have to put tires on 2 dually's and a Corvette.

16 tires in all. (sigh) That's going to leave a mark.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My recliner has (3) stepper motors. Head, lumbar and feet. The motor for the feet started working intermittently. More mittently than inter. So, I broke out my handy dandy meter and started checking the rocker switch and all the wires that I could access. Everything checked out fine.

So, I throw caution to the wind and decide to start tearing stuff up. The motor and worm gear / rail system are integrated. Just unplug the wire harness and pull to lock pins and it's on the floor. Double checked the wires and still good contact.

I decided "What the hell, it's no good as it is I'll tear the little motor down and see what there is to see". Well, sure 'nuff one of the wires inside the motor had been making contact with the worm gear on the shaft. The wire was too damned short to do anything with, so I pulled part #s and went on a Google Treasure Hunt.

Not only did I find a gazillion gizmos specifically for chairs, couches, beds etc. I ultimately found the exact system I needed...complete with motor, wiring harness and worm gear rail system. All for a smooth $ 110.00 bill. Bought it through...wait for it...Amazon dot com.

15 minutes after opening the box my chair, and me, was back in business.

Who knew?

The white mounting bracket you see travels up and down the rail via the worm drive.

Working at the track Friday night, we had a major explosion.....2 people were life flighted to the hospital.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Nothing wrong with that tire that a little duct tape and Fix A Flat wont solve.

I figure I've got another 5000 miles on mine. :sexy:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That blowed up real bad! I saw the blower sneeze off a TF dragster in '77; that thing must have gone 100 feet in the air! Nobody was hurt, though, fortunately. Amazingly enough, the crew overhauled that engine and made it back to the track for another run.

Hoping for a good recovery!
