Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Only thing left to do is change the oil and filter which is a pain on these as the front head pipe on the exhaust needs to be removed to get at the filter. But it’s already off so I’ll change it out even though it’s not time . You change the filter every other oil change . I started to detail it too since it was apart finish that tomorrow also

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Hey! Don't you be knocking on my Harleys!! Oh. sorry, I see you were referring to the more recent offerings. No thanks, it's go old or it's no go for me. For me, it's Evo or earlier. Yes, I consider the Evos old and they were as modern as a Harley ever needed to get. The beauty in the Harley was how they had survived so long with so little change in style or even general design. Like Jeeps and Vettes did... until more recently. All three came out as favorites for passing up on the fickle changes everything else went through. My dream is to rebuild a 66-69 (would consider '70-'72) Electra-Glide for touring this country's 2-lanes. I'd feel more secure with one of those than anything newer. Or build one off that frame design with an Evo/5spd/belt
Anyway, glad you got the bike done. Turned a nightmare into just a PIA The Firebird has it's look now! I bet he's happy. I got the shed roof cut back for the 32 1/2" barn move........whenever that happens. Poking at it here and there some and also nothing ![]() If I showed these somewhere already, sorry for a repeat

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Started to inventory the stuff on the trailer I picked up from an old hardware store. 25 type set boxes a US postal sorting bin from the local post office still has the peoples names on it . I also got lots of old boxes and new metal gas cans . And just a bunch of other odds and ends .
First three are of the base table top and sorting cabinet. Very rear to find all three . Tag is dated 1951

Nice score! You can get some fair money for the printer's drawers. Just steam clean them and list them on etsy.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got all set up to make trim for a job. The sun was hot so I set up the canopy. Thunderstorms were predicted and I almost got it all made up before the few drops of rain began as I stashed the last pieces into a building. Then, did it rain?? It rained harder and harder. I had ducked into the building the trim went into. I don't know how long it rained like that. Less than an hour I'm sure. The rain gauge read 2" when the rain let up

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
We haven't had measurable rain here in over a month but last night a line of thunderstorms came through here after midnight. All I heard was the wind. We got very little rain but plenty of wind. I spent much of my morning picking up limbs, again, and added them to the burn pile.
Of course, we are under a burn ban.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Getting so damned hot here the upstairs A/C compressor is struggling, during the heat of theand can't make 74 F. Holds at around 78F trying to get there. So, I have zip tied a soaker hose over both compressors. The fans throw the water on the fins. Keeps the fins cool which keeps the freon cooler which make the whole system run less.
We run the soaker from about 1:00 - 6:00ish...around the time the neighbor's house throw shade on the units. Of, course now...I have to attack the new skeeter population. Naturally...Iphone pics are sideways. . |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yeah, no shortage of green here. That's one thing great about that Suburban. I was able to stuff the two 1 x 8 x 12 footers in and slam the hatch to keep them dry. The storm passed and I was able to finish up. That was Saturday. Yesterday I got it all out, sanded, primed, and let it dry. Put it all back inside just before the thunderstorm.
Now today I got it all out and sanded it. More worried about earlier thunderstorms and now it's the pretty paint. I set it up to take directly inside on racks. And it did already come thundering through here a while back and still thundering. It's about time to fire up the grille.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I spent the last three days digging a 3' diameter hole, 3' deep for a new tree in the front yard. Several inches of imported topsoil, then native soil, then several inches of hardpan that took a diggin' bar to break up. Halfway down I found two old iron (or steel?) 4" water pipes running through the center of the new hole. Had to wait for the water company to verify they were abandoned. Took 'em out this morning with a sawzall. Hope to plant the tree tomorrow.
