somebody on here recommended a good diff fluid, but I forgot

What should I shove back into that AAN rear axle when I slap on the cover?

Nope, economic guys are saying we are spending $1.8 to $1 taken in. Interest on the debt is more than the debt every year.

It will take years but our kids are going to pay big time.

Sam, my hearing doc told me the 357 is the hardest on the hearing of most any caliber. I can hardly hear without aids and they only help a little.
Funny part is, with all the shooting I have done, the 357 is probably the least shot of anything in the safe. Hearing protection is a great thing to use but in my younger years hardly anyone wore them including me. Can’t say my hearing is gone because of shooting but it didn’t help.

I’ll agree with you Bob. 
It packs a heck of a report.
My 300 is probably louder to me, but may actually not be.
I’ve lost a lot of my hearing as well.
Some from shooting.
Some from woodworking.
Some from work.
Don’t need aids at this point but don’t have a lot left before I do.

I spoke to the folks who built these (in Texas). They said they would handle deer with no problem. I asked about the mesh all over the middle, and they told me something I did not know.

For their customers who live in the Dakotas through the Eastern part of Montana, those states have big game birds such as pheasant. Those birds can and have taken out radiators, and that is the whole reason for the steel mesh being welded in there.

Would have never thunk of that!

Well, all this is going to start happening pretty soon. I haven't actually been in possession of my truck for weeks, since the accident. I should have it back tomorrow.

I have the diff cover on the floor in my office.

I will need to figure out what in the heck is going on with those airbags.

The tires are beginning to come in, so they will be getting installed pretty quickly.

I ordered the recommended Carli suspension which levels the truck, 2.5" front and 1" rear.

And just a little while ago, I ordered my bumper. After everyone's recommendation and some more thinking about it, I purchased a sturdy unit that covers the entire front end similar to the one Shawn has on his tow pig:

Good enough for me, and sound reasoning, everyone.

I placed an order for a sturdy although not particularly good-looking bumper.

I'll post pics of it on my Dually thread.

Yup, fed needs to stop spending and printing money.
Some would argue all this is by design.

Gets us in the bread lines quicker...or so they think.

Food Preparation and Cooking Techniques / Re: Corned Beef and Pastrami

If you were to choose corned beef instead the process changes.

Where I drained and filled with fresh water you would instead put the corned beef into a pot.

Cover with water and then bring to a boil.
It is cooked in water and then is done.

Pastrami is smoked.

I used sirloin tip instead of brisket.
Some may shun me for that.
It works with most cuts. Trying sirloin this time.

Food Preparation and Cooking Techniques / Corned Beef and Pastrami
« Last post by Sammconn on April 22, 2024, 05:08:08 PM »
So. As some of you may have noticed, a couple weeks ago I made some ham.
Once I wrapped that up, I broke down a sirloin tip.
It went into a pickle and today it becomes pastrami.

Now for those unaware.
Pastrami is smoked corned beef, well smoked, uncooked corned beef.


Here it is being broken down.


Much to my dismay here is the next picture.
It spent about 10 days in the pickle.
Last night drained it off and added fresh water to desalinate it some.
Today it’s in the smoker to cook.

It’s chilly today and the smoker needs some insulation. Current air temp about 25, but a good breeze killing the temps.
I’ll have a delicious smelling packing blanket later.
