Not that there's anything wrong with that. Anyway, I hear ya about working on the wheels. You got 'em now. So why not play with 'em if they aren't on the road? Understood.

Saturday I was working in the shade of my canopy then had to go Junkyarding , got there just as the smoke all blew away so I got fried in the hot sun (108° F) and nearly passed out in the Junk Yard , had to grab the *one* bracket I desperately needed and left the rest for next week . None of the Shops and Dealerships I I ever worked in had AC back in the day , now I occasionally walk a shop and marvel at the cool , dry air , color me JEALOUS ! .

Affordable Air Conditioning
The sounds good to me ~ .
I have a 1923 flat roofed house (!BAD!) so I put a foam roof on it , this helped immeasurably with both heat and cold . A few double pane windows was another big help as was putting a large box fan in a window to draw the refrigerator's heat out ~ a trick I figured out 40 years ago . If ever i get off my duff i think an aircon window unit on the far side of the house should work out fine , the window fan will draw the cooler air through it . Of course , if I could afford that , I'd prolly have my car (one anyway) re painted or buy parts for en engine overhaul.... You get the idea I'm sure .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I pulled an all nighter last night just in case those prowlers wanted to pay me another visit. I was hoping to be able to stay up all day also but that didn't work so I ended up taking an unplanned nap!
I did though, get some work in on my new windshield washer pump bracket. I nearly have it finished and should be able to get it bolted to the bottle bracket tomorrow. |

Yesterday (Monday) I got something done. I finished up the bracket that holds on the new windshield washer pump. It came out pretty good...oh it's not perfect but it'll do the job. Tomorrow I'll put it onto the truck and hook it all up in a few days (the plan anyway)! Last edited by In The Ten Ring; 07-26-2016 at 01:50 AM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I have a HUGE pile of small parts sitting next to my blast cabinet that I just cleaned and refilled with glass beads , It sits in my 10X24 tool room that's been over 100 degrees for a few weeks now so I installed a new A/C-Heat unit in the wall and I can finally get back to some blasting myself . How does that pile of parts GROW SO FAST ?
