Very nice! I've always thought of owning a home with a heated floor like that.

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

Mini split, haven't used the ac yet but for a heat pump with no heat strips it did a damn good job keeping the garage at 62 degrees for the 2 weeks we had below freezing.

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

Got the 3306 from posts 676 and 679, put back together and installed into a power unit skid and ran over the last few days. I ran it on propane for about 2 hours to make sure that the oil psi would hold once the oil was good and hot. 40lbs at idle and 75-80 at 1600 rpms. All ready to go back to the field and run for 8-10 years non stop.

Gave my motor a paint job...:lol:

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

Excuse my ignorance but why did you paint the cylinders, lifter valley and pistons? :confused:

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

Um... Well, very thorough.

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

Those pistons look good though, don't they..:lol::lol:

Got that picture from another forum. Thought it was sharable

Doin' brakes next...

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

It’s the latest greatest anti friction coating, funny it comes in Chevy orange!:lol:

Man kinds’ ability to be stupid never ceases to amaze me. I think I’ll pass on the brake job:lol:

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

Picked up a new toy.

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

Real nice. 40?

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

You actually found a gun store with something in stock ???? :cong:

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

Didn't realize places were still having issues. All gun stores here have good inventory and ammo.

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

.45 auto and this store is only about 5 minutes from my house. Little thin on guns and almost no Ammo. I don’t really need Ammo though. I stockpiled that years ago when I got it on the cheap.

Bigger store in north Little Rock had the same gun but was higher and I prefer doing business local when I can anyway.

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

He has a idea like I did

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

^ That's pretty cool!

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

Last time I was in Big R about a month ago all they had was a few revolvers and a bunch of shotguns, and no ammo except for shotguns.

I don't really need any more guns but you never have enough ammo. I'm not doing any recreational shooting anymore.

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

Ft. Thompson?

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

Yep, you got it. I was surprised my local store was a bit less since it’s about 1/4 the size of Ft. Thompson’s. They are usually pretty good for price but their staff is hit and miss for me. Some put me off with their attitude. I’m not fielding any new calibers but just getting what I want while I can.

-
I went to a gun show today. I took $1000 with me but couldn't find anything that would buy....:(.... Prices were through the roof. Most vendors were $60 - $65 for a box of 50 .380's.

Bought a good used holster ($10) and 1 new Ruger brand .380 clip ($25).

Yep, the world is going to H&!!

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

CostCo in the morning. Then worked on cutting out part of a new wood carving I'm starting. Then onto doing a little clean-up and detailing on my '05 Corolla that I'm going to sell. Great little car, but the son who has been driving it bought a new '21 Canyon, so it's got to go. Too many vehicles. It was my daily driver for 10 years, and then I retired. Everything works, but the paint (Mica green) is toast. That color is famous for it- I've never seen one more than 5 or so years old that it isn't going bad. Should have bought the white one.

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

Maaco can make it look good on the cheap. It won't be show quality but won't be ugly.

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

Eh, I'm not going to ask for a lot of money, so the paint won't be a bargaining chip. I have enough white left over from painting the front bumper on my Astrovan and the roof of my truck that I could probably sand it down and paint it white, but I'm not that ambitious. I do want to save the white to eventually paint below the lower belt molding back to the original white. Needs a little body work down there- my FiL put a crease in the right rear, behind the wheel well.

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

I fixed this chair for our neighbor here @ the beach. Rhett & Hadley had a blast riding it. It works good now that I got the batteries charged up. The charger wasn't working. I used my 12 volt charger and got them chargered. They need a new charger. The light was coming on but not doing anything. :chevy:

Great that you help your neighbors:metal:

You better keep the vehicle keys hid.
He is a natural born Driver;)

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

Yes we do have to watch him. He already has backed the golf cart out of the building and was going over to Hadley's back last fall when I stopped him. He is only 4!:chevy:

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

Nice score! I actually had one of my toys out last night swapping pictures with a friend... since it’s on my phone I’ll post it up...

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

Yeah, the employees have an attitude.

I bought a box (limit one) of 9 MM a while back and the last time all I could get was a couple of cases of 12G shells from two pallets they had just brought in.

The ammo shelves have been bare lately except for obscure calibers.

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

Yes, and I’m seeing signs of inflation...

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

I've been trying to find some .30 carbine for months :(

Visited a neighbors orchard to see their maple syrup operation.

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

I made the 80 mile trek to the cemetery where my brother and grandparents are buried. Mom passed in 2019 and Dad passed in January, I bought a plot so their ashes can be buried together, forever..

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

Sorry for all your loss but good on you to be honoring your family.

On the ammo subject I purchased one box of .38's in all of 2020. Traded a very specific box of factory Remington .30-06 to a guy for some more .38's and some CCI .22 LR. I've also sold a few guns that I never use and replaced them with fewer items that have wanted for a long time. If I remain frugal in my shooting I don't need to buy any ammo for a good while. The main thing I am doing is waiting patiently to get the call I'm all clear and can pick up my suppressor. Got my trust and everything already set up, just waiting now.

I got too many hobbies and not enough time or $$.

57TaskForce - That's a nice piece of hardware. I've only owned one 7.62x39 and it was a Russian SKS. I didn't keep it long as I took it in on a partial trade for a jet ski. A buddy of mine was trying to get an SKS from every country that ever produced them and he didn't have a nice, machined Russian so I sold it to him.

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

Nice, I’ve got a surplus yugo SKS-M59/66 with the grenade launcher set up and tritium night sights that still glow, it’s a LOT more accurate than the AK is:lol: I bought it from a friend of a friend a few years ago still in cosmilene.

I’ve been building a 7.62 AR for a little while now. Getting closer to being done. I’m gonna buy the rest of the parts to finish it real soon. Seems like gun law changes may be coming.

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

I took my boat out on the lake today and it sank. Unfortunately all my guns were in it ;)

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

That is terribly fortuna.... I mean unfortunate:lol:
