Want to paint the wife's new ride that same way it looks killer ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Got a slipped belt in a tire on my pickup. I thought the bad carrier bearing was causing the vibration at 70 mph. Fixed that now it vibrates like hell at 40. Smooths out around 60. Pulled the rear tires and re balanced them. One tire stayed the same the other was off. Put them back on the pickup and no change. Put it on the lift and and ran it. I could see the one tire wobbling a little bit. Tires are worn down enough I cant get just one but got plenty of tread I don't want to buy all 4. I cant afford a $1,000 tire bill. I ll take it in to the tire shop monday and see what they say. Firestone transforce A/T with 20,000 miles on them.
Tex doin' business on the border. Oh boy, I could have a bunch of fun with that one!Nice paint on the quad. Very nice....I wonder if Don could learn from that. lol

I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Well HH6 and I took the dogs for a walk at the beach. We both commented how it seemed colder than earlier. Even the dogs weren't all that cool with it...Turns out were under an extreme cold warning. Wind chill in excess of -45 to -55...Yeah it cooled off some...-15 this morning, -30ish base temp overnight. I'm fearing what Mother Nature has in store for us now, being November was so warm relatively speaking.
Got home and did a little cleanup around the house and barns.Truck needs better defrosters! hard to see out side windows, but better than sitting out on open tractor!8" more on Fri and 4" on Sat.! Better run to the gas station!
Something about those turbines liking to be warm...I can agree to that today. Still wicked out -30ish with wind chill around -40 to -45. I like the cold, but not so much THIS cold.Put me in the zero plus or minus and I'm a happy camper. Truck not happy today either. Found my bypass filters weeping, and coolant from lower rad connection. Need to source new o-ring for that, hasn't been right since the last time I changed antifreeze. Brr...
man.. thats a cool ol chevy!
Had a little accident yesterday. I always tug test before raising the landing gear but I was on snow and the wheels just spun. So I raised them up and pulled ahead on dry ground. Better to drop it in the yard than on the road. I even visually inspected the jaws to see if they were closed on the king pin. This truck sat out in the last snow storm turn out there was ice in the 5th wheel preventing it form locking all the way. 20 years with a CDL and never dropped a trailer. First time for everything.

I'm fearing what Mother Nature has in store for us now, being November was so warm relatively speaking. I've only seen -29 one or two times. One in Korea and one in Afghanistan up in the "hills"Had to fly on that day in Korea. To get the aircraft fired up we had to attach a herman-nelson heater to each engine fuel control, and the hydraulic pumps and reservoirs. It took a couple hours to heat it enough to get it to start without fear of blowing some shiny hydraulic line off some manifold somewhere
Lord help ya!Got sick on oneGot a lifelong gift (pre Ranger) on another one!I no longer go anywhere warm!
Well, booked a cruise today. And it wasn't the chill that brought it on, we'd been debating something for our upcoming milestone. Doing a seven day Caribbean for our 20th anniversary, never done the cruise thing so will be a new adventure. We miss it by a day technically, but close enough.
My cruise attitude is linked to the story of Noah - get on a boat to escape peril, get back on dry ground as soon as possible! Now, I might do one of those "River" deals.......figure I can swim to shore there if necessary! ;D

We were told you could drop a trailer on them in the middle of winter and they wouldn't break. They were right.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

LoL this subject of a cruise just came up between my wife and I not long ago. I suggested we book a cruise, man I got a evil look, and then the following.... "No way Mr, I am not stepping foot on a likely sinking slowly, broke down motel 6 with a propeller. Remember that house boat you rented? Remember when you said swim for it? Remember the Mississippi stained my best bikini as we attempted to survive the leaky plywood box they called a boat?...never again. Why don't you book a trip for us to tour N Korea, maybe we could go to Cuba, hey how about I sign you up to ring a bell for the red cross at the truck stop.... no cruise nope." To put it into context, that discussion happened while we were at a parent teacher conference.

Plastics have come a long way from back in the day. Not sure what I'm into/done with the cruise, not sure about trapped on a boat...I have no issues with boat, just the trapped bit. We've always talked about doing one to see. I did get the drink and I think food upgrades au gratis. Don, that's funny your luck and blessing.
