Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Cleaned the work area made a new punch out of a snapped Phillips bit and did a small restoration job on a small cross peen hammer USA made Stanley. Old handle was broken and it was very rusty . New handle is maple
The bolt is for my power steering pump on my AMX . The threads on original were way to warn to tighten up . The nut portion goes into a sleeve which was an odd size so I pined a nut to the rod rounded it and put two flats so a 1/2 inch open end can be used to tighten it . This also holds the water pump to the head .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I met my new neighbor today.
![]() I never do the OMG thing. BUT OMG! This woman is certifiably nuts. ![]() She stands in her yard and fights with people. But no one is there. It's just her screaming at the voices in her head. ![]() She has never said hello. We were on our deck and she started screaming at us. Not complaining about anything that we were doing. Just yelling about her problems. What the hell am I supposed to do?? I need to build a big wall and build it quick. Because this b^tch is crazy. Just my luck. ![]()

There's a memory kick...I used to make punches out of valve stems. I probably still have one buried in my old toolbox.

I was thinking Paul might want to get her number. She might be a future candidate. She seems to fit the profile of his past partners.

The woman next door really doesn't bother me. She rarely comes out of her house, and when she does all she does is yell at herself or her car. ![]() And my wife bought new patio furniture. And guess what? It all has to be assembled. Take a wild stab in the dark as to who got that job? But it will be worth it when I'm done. Today I had planned on checking out a 1973 International pickup. But my wife took the Jeep to work and I was at my house in Wofford Heights. I hadn't been there in over 2 months and all my cars batteries were beyond dead. I hooked up my charger but I wasn't going anywhere anytime soon. I didn't plan on being gone so long. Hopefully the old corn binder will still be there tomorrow, but if not it'll just be another one that got away.

I had a neighbor behind me for a while who was odd. Unlike your new neighbor woman, I never heard her speak. She was about my age and still lived at home. I only saw her when she skittered out the lane to the mailbox and back to the house. I do mean skittered, as if her life depended on making it out and back without seeing anyone. And more importantly, I'd guess, NO ONE SEEING HER! If I came out during one of her mailbox journeys she'd double up the pace. The color of her eyes was "straight ahead". Good luck on the Binder. Those are handsome trucks in those years. I always wanted to own one, a 3/4t 4wd. I also like the earlier ones.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
So far 3 hours Chasing down a parasitic draw on my 05 Accord . It was the aftermarket start alarm unit. After cutting taping and checking I just ripped the whole damn piece of crap out. Heat shrinked all the areas they cut and spliced . Hooked it all back up draw went from .15 to .01 so now I shouldnt have to disconnect the battery anymore if it's going to sit more than 3 days .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I went to the market today. Actually I went to 3 markets today, and my wife went to one.
Why? You may ask. Quick answer, I needed saltine crackers. I'm making Mexican Shrimp Cocktails for Superbowl. I've got to have saltines. No one had them. The most common cracker on the planet and I can't get them. They had all kinds of graham crackers, Goldfish, Triscut, Ritz and some weird ones. BUT NO SALTINES!!! ![]() This is a conspiracy. Someone is hoarding saltines. It's like the toilet paper thing all over again. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Who'd a knew? Saltine shortage. Can't tell you the last time I ate one. It ain't me hoarding! Grandpa loved those oyster crackers and I got hooked on them, too. But haven't had those in years either.
I want to report my issues finding boneless skinless chicken breasts at Food Lion. I've been stopping in for a week and finally got a pack last evening. They were about 1/2 stocked. Why Food Lion? The other places sell theirs for at least a dollar more a pound and I'm a hard head when it comes to helping those out who charge more for the same thing. Safeway used to sell them at the same price, until Albertson's bought them. Then, it was up a buck a pound. Maybe more now, I wouldn't know, don't even look.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The price of chicken has gone way up.
My wife picked up a bucket of KFC and the trimmings. No drinks. It was over 50 bucks.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Found a set of made in France Marchal driving lights in an old Hershey sell box . One has a minor chip in the lens from knocking around but are new . My guess mid 80’s ?
Edit: guess I got them from my uncles Jeep dealership . They were standard equipment on the 1982 Jeep Jamboree didn’t take long to find out on a google search

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nice find! Marchal lamps are like hen's teeth these days. The first 7" H4 headlamps I bought were Marchals, back in the mid-Seventies. Loved 'em right up until the reflectors eventually tarnished.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Cool find! I remember when Marchals and Cibies were the thing. I ran Cibie Bobis in my Woodland Green '72 Blazer
I figured out a router bit I have can make this old style shoe molding I've been paying out the ying-yang for by the foot. I have to route it combined with ripping a certain way on the table saw to create it. I just came in for lunch after making the first piece. I also dug up an oak 1 x 6 x 10' I didn't realize I had, just before coming in. I'll grab a picture of the store bought and mine together. I'm a happy boy! I paid $35 for an oak 1x4x8" a couple weeks ago. This is probably a $55 piece and I can make over $100 of molding from it
