Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It seems to hit me the most. But I've seen it happen to others, including you, Dale/Old Blue, and Ryan/Dieselwrencher. I have no idea what could cause it. It's been suggested that my pad on my laptop is being extra sensitive, picking up on two taps. I'm hard headed and really don't think that's it. I should get a message telling me I have to wait to post the second one, it's only on particular threads, and why does it take so long to post only in those threads?

Looks like an AG tire with big fat sipes, maybe for wet road braking?

Should get along in the mud and snow pretty good.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went to my best friends house, and mocked up all of the front sheet metal, and fit the doors, for him on his 68 firebird, a lot of new panels, and a slightly bowed hood I had to get flattened out a bit...a little finesse, and some patience, shimming, tapping with the body hammers here and there and its looking strait and ready for final priming and blocking out...I know whats coming on my next day over at his house!:lol:..i might as well put my sanding blocks in the truck now!:lol:

Rain rain rain all day. I didn't have things I needed to get things done that were only inside. I did break out more concrete around the drain pipe in my 1st floor shower so I can set the drain lower before starting tile work. It was raining heavy, so couldn't mix up the thin set outside. Just getting into this shower job that has been sitting many years. A winter project I didn't get to. Moving forward on it now |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Oh man. I've got plenty of those to do things myself. Just getting up the drive to do them is my problem.

Yeah well the wax will do more than make it shiny for sure. Keep up on it like that and it will be looking great a very long time. Just don't forget to scrub the mud off the tires :lol:
Boog, like I said, that shower has been out of order many years. Curtain pulled shut and I just go in there to pee. I don't even do that very often. I'm usually upstairs or outside. I need to get serious about my two major projects, moving the barn and the cellar dig-out/lay-up block ones. Both are pretty far along, but to have them off my slate will be enormous. I look at small things that need done and tell myself I can't be getting myself too spread out. I do try to always have a smaller task I can jump to when a big project gets stalled. But the shower tile is pretty big for a small one. To have that done will also me enormous. As it's been, I don't even think about it. I want to not think about it because it's done! The more I do the closer I get to nothing better to do but mess with my trucks. They, too, have had to be waiting. To move that barn I had to build a pavilion to store things from inside the barn while doing the move. I built it last year, about a year and a half ago. It's only temporary, made to easily disassemble and reconstruct somewhere else (as a carport). I was thinking what a good thing it is that I did that last year and not this year, with the way the cost of materials has gone up. This project requires a lot of temporary construction, temporary support posts and beams, cinder block connector walls, cross-beams from wall to wall, and misc. bracing. Probably more spent on temporary materials than permanent. et this done I'll be able to move back in freshly organized, get my slab work area back, and gain a carport for my '72 K2500. Then it's get all the cinder block stacks to disappear into the cellar. I stay motivated to see these things through, so I can start talking about something else :lol: |

We have 10 acres and I would use it to mow down some of the chaparral we have around here, for a nice big fire break. Could also till the lower pasture. Oh well, enjoy it!!!

My neighbor has a tractor. He used to clear the brush and keep the dirt road smooth, but he's pretty old now. He really can't do it anymore. I offered to buy his tractor but he won't sell it. He's a tough old guy. He's not ready to give up yet. I admire that. |

Went and did some bartering, agreed to put the front grill and bumper, Etc... on the front of this S10 for dual exhaust on my C10. Yes there were other parts given to the person doing the exhaust. He didn't have time to figure out how everything was supposed to go back. took me 3 hours. This included cleaning and painting, otherwise it would take me less time.

Back flushed the radiator that came out of the Chevelle found the cause of my overheating issue. I thought it was rust but it turns out to be what looks like a rodents nest. Backstory car was apart and either the mouse got into the rad through the inlet/outlet or the engine itself . Totally my own fault so I called the builder to apologize that I blamed him .
I used water and 60 psi air after I took the petcock valve out I bet there was a lot more that missed the bucket |

We went to my Mother in Law's to watch the exchange of her 1999 trade in for a 2014, and then go for a drive with her as co pilot. Then I took my granddaughter next and my Wife last and I could have just kept driving. :chevy: She had bought the 99 in 2000 and was sad to watch it go . But the 2014 only has 21550 miles was a one owner.

I love helping people out, your right on tim about being involved with things you like to do, and be able to help make things happen for others.i spent 3 years worth of weekends on and off rebuilding my kitchen, and painting the house inside and out, and swore I would make this a year for my truck stuff, and just do upkeep and maintenance on the house this year.the guy who owns the firebird, has been a friend of mine for problably close to 30 years now, and this is the second first generation firebird I have helped him with, super cool guy, and would fit right in with the crew here, except he is kinda anti computer:lol:...today was spent putting in a new shelf for my wife in the utility room , shes been bugging me for awhile about it... and guess what... more body work...I put in new cab corners, and rocker panels on my youngest sons 76 c10, I will try and get them finished tomorrow, the weather was great today, to do this work outside, no mess to clean up afterward, in my garage:lol: |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Today I went out and hit the swap meets and a flea market. Got some good stuff Then had half a good breakfast of Huevos Ranchero's with my lovely wife. A very nice day.:)...At first.
I say half a good breakfast because my damn front tooth fell out of my mouth right into my eggs. :dohh: :lol: I really didn't feel like finishing my breakfast after that. It was kind of a buzz kill. I was eating sunny side up eggs, probably the softest food on the planet and my stupid tooth just fell out. :confused: If I didn't look bad enough before? Now I've got a missing tooth. Very attractive. The good news is that I have good dental insurance, and I can whistle really loud now. I guess my tooth got sick of listening to my big mouth and committed suicide. |

I have one that keeps doing that. I just glue it back in. The last time it happened I was eating some of my wife's home made peanut brittle..... :( I can't believe I haven't swallowed it yet. It might be a little hard to glue it back in if that happened.... If I could even find it..... :uhmk:... :) LockDoc |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I had an implant for a molar that got loose. It would pick up and rotate just enough that when I bit down it was too high. An awful feeling, sometimes it hurt. I had to be real conscious of it. Then it came loose, as in all the way out. So I'd just pop it out to eat and pop it back in when done. Then I was eating somewhere I felt it was bad manners to eat with a tooth next to my plate, so I left it in. I really should have gotten that fixed by then. This time it popped up while chewing and it broke the molar above it. Great!
Years later the opposite molar was in bad shape and the dentist wanted to pull it. I asked about getting an implant and he said, "Oh, you don't need that last molar. You'll be able to eat just fine". I told him a prior dentist had put one on the other side and he said that was a waste, "I'd never put an implant there". So, double great!! Broke a good tooth with a failed implant that never should have been put in. I have other stories about the same dentist. That guy sucked! |

It's Sunday. I'm going to call the dentist tomorrow. I am so terrified of the dentist. That's why my teeth got this bad. I've got the insurance, but you have to hog tie me to get me to go. I guess that I just have to bite the bullet with my remaining teeth before I sneeze and they go flying out of my mouth. |
