Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Sure seems they made a very simple thing way too complicated and ineffective. They need to consider giving thrives a reason to think twice in case they get caught. You know, consequences.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Other than an armed robbery they don't worry about small stuff since I guess all their merchandise is marked up a bit just to cover loss. Shrinkage. That store isn't going to lose.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
On a lighter note cut and split two of the four trailer loads of wood I picked up at the farm last week . Have at least 10 more for next week from this one area . I still have to go into the woods and get more that the loggers left two years ago .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Great to know you have all that wood. I should get back into these woods a friend had logged for the tops before the underbrush. It's been a couple years now as well. Only just was offered it. I'm doing work on the house, so plan to walk the woods to check access and make a plan while there

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went to do a little mowing yesterday. Had a runaway throttle. Took the carb off and saw this. (or lack of this) Pulled the head, knowing those screws went somewhere.

I bet the screws were pounded into bbs before they exited the chamber.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got home from work, went and got shop keys, I walked inside,
looked at my poor baby being neglected, walked back outside. Diesel prices have me reduced to 1 day a week from 5, so it's just stare at her, admire her, and dream about her the other 4. As for the 72, similar story, looked at where it would be sitting if she was home, obviously no work of my own is getting done.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Last year I had the fill valve go up on my washer. Yes, a top-loader, but to me that is just a washing machine. I built a laundry room in the back corner of my house, on a slab. So I realize the washer is still filling and go check. Shoot! water on the floor!! Took me an hour to dry it all up. Then I had to find a fill valve for the 35 year old machine. Ebay to the rescue, reconditioned used, 2yr warranty, $20 free shipping. And people were asking why I didn't just get a new washer. Cuz that would be dumb?
![]() Last week my friend had the same problem with his washer. The only difference is, when they built their McMansion they put the laundry room on the second floor. Always looking for more convenience, folks these days do that so they don't have to carry laundry up and down steps. I've been doing that all these years without a thought. Never bought a stair-stepper gismo for exercise either. So his wife who doesn't work, for some reason puts a laundry load in before going to bed. The fill valve fails, so the pace flooded down to the main floor and on down to the finished basement. He still doesn't have the verdict from the adjuster, but his kitchen is gutted to bar studs, flooring all pulled up, many other areas stripped to the studs, including the basement. I'd guess at least $60k in damage. Good thing for insurance, but he tells me his policy carries a $10k deductible. Yeeouch! I guess my hour of sopping up water and $20 part doesn't seem so bad now. Neither does walking up and down the steps!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I hauled another load of junk in yesterday. Everyone keeps screaming it's $400/ton but it hasn't hit here yet. Shred/junk cars is still only $180/ton. my load was only 2.5 tons but it's 2.5 tons of more crap gone.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Went over to the rental house to replace a light switch in one of the bathrooms. One of the renters has been unscrewing the light bulbs to turn the lights off. Dude, just call us and I'll come over and replace the switch! So, my wife tells me that the lights flicker in the other bathroom, and have since the renters moved in (according to one of the renters). I've been over there many times, why didn't they say something before now? Crazy. But the place they lived in previously had a slumlord landlord who never fixed anything, so maybe they think we're the same? I replace the one light switch (success), and then one of the renters tell me about how he can't find the reset button on the garbage disposal. I press the reset, the disposal is seized up. I don't have the tools with me, I was expecting to replace a light switch. I check the other bathroom. Yes, indeed, the lights are flickering. Go up for another switch, replace it, and now the lights don't work at all. I went home and got lunch and more tools, (and another light switch) and went over and got it all done. Another new switch, which actually works! We're in the process of selling the place, so I'm thinking hard about reducing the price of the house by $500 (snicker) and having the new owners replace the garbage disposal.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
What I did, not on but for "a" truck I "might" end up having some day, is go buy a pair of N.O.S. painted white mirror heads. I had to run clear over to the northeast corner of Baltimore. Shot a big hole in my day. But finding these was perfect. I have painted 69-71 mirrors I wanted to restore but the heads were questionable.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
It's funny. I usually get back from Carlisle still in prowl for parts mode. I don't look at FB Marketplace unless I'm bored. Then, usually just scroll down. But this time I went into "Auto Parts" and it was like Carlisle all over again, very old stock. I had all these plans for around here on my first day back. Next thing I know I'm grabbing a sandwich before heading out the door for the city where I was greeted with a traffic backup on a Sunday morning. I paid my dues there! The guy has a '51 pickup all nicely done and had an ochre '71 Cheyenne he sold to a friend because it sat outside. These are interesting because they seem to pre-date the use of below eyeline mirrors on new trucks. The box looks pre-67 and they were sold as an accessory. I guess they were intended to mount on standard stick mirrors?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That space is where the mirror arm slides in. I've seen them on the medium duty trucks a lot. Nice score on the mirror heads though Tim.
