started the day by removing the front tire from the riding lawn mower.  Its had a super slow leak for a long time.  cleaned  it and dunked it in a large bucket of water.  Found the leak and broke down the tire.  Decided to go tube.  Drove to town to get a tube and some fittings.

Installed my rapidair tubing in the shop, just a couple of drops for now. 

Painted one of the doors an espressor brown.  Now the trim looks like it needs to be painted a different color.

Today I laid another 28 bags of cedar mulch. And ordered another set of Alpine component 6 1/2 speakers for the front doors on the LB7. That will allow me to get after the replacement of the regulators with the new AC Delco regulators, dynamat and new door pull (drivers side). Eventually I'll get a 5 channel amp and a new head unit (double din conversion) and a single 10 inch sub.

Still doesn't account for voter turnout. Remember that Romney would have won had the same number of republicans turned out in 2012 that turned out in 2008. Trump set records for voter turnout. Hillarys campaign events have been dead and devoid of people. Our only hope is voter turnout. It's all about the SCOTUS.

Just finished watching Lone Survivor. Liked the book better ( esp since mine is autographed!).

I wish they'd have included the part where Marcus gave his bloody Texas flag patch to Bush

Truth be told I went down on a street bike at 22 wearing shorts, a wife beater, and no helmet. The flip flops were a slight exaggeration that is a throw back to my dad getting his foot in the spokes of my cousins dirt bike back in the day. Ate most of the meat of the top of his toes.

The u bolts were a bust today.  I couldn't break them loose.  So I lubed again and went about peeping the spindles for paint and deciding if I should replace the wheel bearings in the front hub assembly

Just don't use an impact close to the ground on those nuts and then leave your finger behind the back of the gun when you hit reverse....


I've heard of someone (cough) getting their hand pinned to the shop floor by the impact as it backed the nut off and being unable to reach the reverse button since it was on the back of the gun...  jus sayin

DDS thanks for the info. Think I am good at 12in drop in 20 ft.

It wasn't all that bad being lit up well and having the tyvek suit on. Did find 1 rotted out rat (used to have a problem with em, now have cats)
Jr thats 4x the recommended slope. DDS/plumber (wth???) is right. Waste has to float on/with water to make it to the sewer.

Make sure and use plenty of water

Toast the bun to help it stand up to the meat. Keep tomato. I'm with Bobby on fried egg but add the grilled jalapeƱo suggested by Done.

Step two. Take a tray of them to the local mosque.

do one side at a time or getting the axle back in the right position is a pain without a helper.  Get new U bolts.  I've always heard don't reuse them.  Torque is 120ft/lb IIRC. Go in a criss cross pattern a little at a time.

There are teflon pads to keep the noise down and I believe the spring back has a retaining clamp.  if a leaf is rotating out of line, then you need something to retain it.  The center bolt keeps them on axis but does nothing to keep them from rotating.  I think there are pics in the bus rebuild thread

That would be news to me Shawn. My mains at both houses only have one. Might depend on soil type?

As I recall, yes. Each sub panel should have its own ground rod

NEC says that when you run a sub panel you separate the neutral and ground and you should have a local ground with an 8ft copper coated rod driven into the ground and connected to the grounding buss in the panel.

So Tate is there a manual available that gives all the proceedures and specs on the AAM?

Wait, I bought all five volumes of the GM shop manuals for the 2001 back in 2001.  I'll be the drivetrain book will have the pics and specs and proceedures...I'll have to look at them this weekend.
