You could put a mud flap on the fender to block everything

Truck related surprise!
Reinstalled the NV4500 in the 72 today after its rebuild. Came in afterwards and realized I left the phone in the shed so I ran back out to grab it and found a 5 foot black snake guarding the work bench. Good laugh for us that live in the country.

I felt like jumping off the thing and watching her crash. :haha:

So much for romance. :smoke:

You guys needed one of these :lol:

I sold my Jeep today. :buh:

Thinning down the herd. I never drove it. Now I'm down to 6 vehicles not counting my motorhome.

You know a buyer is serious when they show up with a trailer and cash. And no B.S. :)

The guy asked me if I was a rock star or something. :lol::lol::lol: I'm not kidding. He really did.

He's obviously never heard me play.

Got the Dodge differential done yesterday . Not an easy job wrestling a 11.5 AAM on the ground by yourself . The rear I put in looked like new down to the rotors . But I test drove it and had a terrible shimmy when I hit the brakes . Ended up being the rotor but I changed out the axle . Think they bent it taking it out so if the dropped it hard enough to bend it didn't trust the axle either.

Okay, I was just confused how dropping a full float could bend the axle shaft?

Wife had the day off so I took the day off as well. We hiked to a waterfall we have never been to before, went to the gun range for a bit and then had lunch. After lunch we played a round of golf. Tired but it was a good day.

:lol: The door's always open and the beer is always cold.

The only drawback is that you will have to listen to my dumb jokes. :eek:

Picked up a knee scooter to ease the pressure off my post-surgical foot. Stitches come out Thursday. $50 off CL, barely used. Now I need to paint some flames on it so it'll go fast. :rolleyes:

What did I do today? :confused:

I thought about cleaning the surface rust on my truck. Didn't do it.

I thought about working on my Packard. Didn't do that either.

I thought about cleaning my garage..Eh..No.

I thought about making my wife a really nice dinner. Then I ordered a pizza.

Then I thought about taking a nap...That one worked. :)

Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish. Was going to use it with their powerball but I wasn't paying $27 for it, so I bought "polishing" cloth and did it by hand.

Found my valve noise on the 496 in my Chevelle #6 exhaust valve lock nut was loose causing the adjuster to back off . Only thing that stopped it from coming off it hit the valve cover. Cam looked perfect so I adjusted all the valves started her and no more clacking. Little strange as the motor was broke in on a dyno ran flawlessly.

Was troubleshooting the salt cell on my swimming pool as I thought the flow switch was out. Installed a new switch but still not showing flow. In my further troubleshooting there were some sparks involved and now the cell is dead. Oh well, I had checked it and it was at 80%+ life expended so I came in an ordered a new one. Was just hoping to put that off until later in the summer. They only last 4-5 years and this was was on year 5.
