WDYDT (What Did You Do Today)

[Sammconn]

Sam, this really deserves its own thread. It will get lost here!!

??

Sam, I concur, and we do not have a wealth of diesel engine rebuilds. Please, no, pretty please make a thread for what you are doing.

It’s in the works chief.
In a word document currently.
Massaging it all togerther.
Hoping for an easy copy paste.

Great!
Looking forward to it
Calling it what, D-max on ice? Or perhaps, the abominable rebuild? OR diesel rebuild below the ice shelf?? Santa's duramax sled overhaul?

Sorry man ;-)

[Flyin6]

I really am looking forward to it!!!

[Sammconn]

So as not to junk up Shawns thread I had one of my millwrights make up seal drivers for me. I know…



They’re not super fancy and all anodized like the $200+ ones you can buy. But I guarantee the cost that to make. Lol. Will make the tappy tap tap a whole lot more comfortable. Front main here. Rear main still coming.


And now I have both.

Spoiled^^^^

Maybe.

But I call it using available resources.
And keeping a millwright competent on a lathe is a bonus for the company as well.
Our guys don’t get a lot of machining time. So when the opportunity arises they love it.
And it keeps their skills sharp.

Starting to clear up here some, ash is still falling. Pool is getting it bad, some on the truck.

It was that high going over Donner last week, at midnight!!

108 at the Ridge coming home Sat afternoon, just nasty and the smoke.

I feel for you, really.

[Sammconn]

You both can have those wicked hot numbers. Me, I’ll take the 55 we have today.
It’s early but man I’m much happier with the cool down.

[Bigdave_185]

We were in the 70s today and with the rain for two days I can kinda see the mountain peaks but the smoke is closing in fast

Driver error or did something help?

[KensAuto]

Finally headed to cool country for a short break. Absolutely nailed it, temperature wise. It's been raining up here for 2 weeks. Water coming out of the ground everywhere. Hiked to a small waterfall today, middle of nowhere. Beautiful country.

Young Arizona. Home of the Pleasant valley wars.

[JR]

 

There are little spots like that where I am, just not mine!!

[Farmer Jon]

Driver error or did something help?

First one was equipment failure. Bracket that holds the hydraulic cylinder to the 5th wheel plate broke and the pin fell out. Didn't even have it raised half way.
 Second one was all the way up. Some product stuck in the nose of the trailer and the driver didn't realize it. When he pulled ahead it just fell over.

Surprised with how cheap they are now maybe putting a backup camera or similar in there would help.

Things happen though.

Our farm dog chased her last car today. She's been run over a few times but this time she didn't come out so well. I wasn't real attached to her because I knew this day was coming. Still sucks tho.

I’m sorry to hear that Jon. It’s tough losing a dog. Even the ones we claim not to like as much, been there done that. Hope it isn’t too rough in the rest of the family

Sorry to hear, Jon. Wish it was a certain democrat instead. I like dogs much better.

That sucks Jon.
I’d say the same about some Liberals here too Charles.

I’ll just leave this here.

Sorry Jon, attached or not it is tuff.

Dems only chase cameras, they don't hurt much when you get hit.

[KensAuto]

Dang that looks sweet Sam!

Built a drive line for the employee.
Had to go from a GM 3/4 ton transfer case down to a Mitsu Montero front diff. Used a 2-1/4" od x 1-3/4 id tube to make it work, and it was to big for the lathe. The chevy stub was 1.95" and the small yoke was 1.8".

A machinist I'm not, but made it work in the mill.

[rpar86]

And a magician, too, making it stand up in the air like that.


(Yes I see the wire)

[Farmer Jon]

Had sign up night for the cub pack last night. I brought in a few older boy scouts to help out. Not a huge turn out but looks like we will have a few new cubs this year. Our new den mother is did a fantastic job promoting but the last one screwed the pooch so bad it's been hard to recover.

[JR]

We are the same Jon, recruitment is tuff and our cub pack has shut down so no crossovers.

[Sammconn]

Started working on this mess.
Man this thing is dirty.
Think I’ve said that once or twice.
And the turbo was no exception.

Gonna slap a WW in there too? With the manifolds it would be great.

[Sammconn]

Not right now.
I’ll regret it later if I decide to.
But I’m parts’d out…
And never thought about it.

[JR]

You at the perfect spot, wish I had kept mine.

Trash night, look at the ash inside this box that was under a cover in the back!

I hear you JR. Been using the leaf blower to dust the cars so the morning dew doesn't get the ash wet on the paint. nothing like a little lye to spruce up a clearcoat.

[JR]

Pool has been the real chore, nasty.

[Sammconn]

You guys are still burning that bad huh.
We were blessed with some rain and cool weather.
Our fires are back at least under control and the ash has stopped raining down.

yes, lye + rain = big mess on paint.

[JR]

Its nice here with just a tad of haze. Guess Tahoe basin is just socked in, events canceled and such.

0-50 air quality is normal. beijing avergages 38.6 which is considered polluted. we're at 139 today and hit 367 two weeks ago. couldn't see a half mile down the road. betting that's what Tahoe is like right now.

In the height of our smoke this year we were down to about 500 yards, was bad.
Light haze now so 1000% percent better.
I'm not a fan of the eerie orange when it gets that thick.

Smoke in Tahoe has no where to go and there is a fire in the basin!

Yep, that glow is strange. Current admin, strange days and they act like its normal.
