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. ![]() ![]()

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. ![]()

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. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
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. orig 31 yr old caliper seized up. new calipers, pads and rotors, with a run back to the parts store for a defective new caliper... just for looks....some stainless exhaust tips 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... ![]() |

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.

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

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
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. ![]() on any of them, full thread, and stored indoors.

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. |
