X2. I would have thought the rear would be the place to start. What was the cost of the kit?

I'll look into it Tex
Only reason I stay away from messing with the rear is that 70%-80% of suspension articulation occurs in the rear. I need that with the nature of the off road I did yesterday and 2X times a week. But a smaller rear bar might not adversely affect that since this is mostly a on road truck and the country road driving it the predominate negative to the feel of the thing.

Who has one? Addco?

and whats the verdict Charles?

About the salad?  Very good. Gotta work on the dressing a bit. Less dill and more acid. Gonna try lemon juice as the acid with the oil

And this weekend



Went lighter on the rub and added apple cider vinegar to the apple juice for the spray. Also smoked with pecan this time.

Good, but needed more rub and I like hickory better.

Good looking boat Tate. Those 4.3 mercruisers are pretty solid. Had one in a 20 ft that would do 57 flat out on a perfect surface.   Buying used makes all the difference.  I had mine for 3 years and only lost $2000. Sold it back to the place I bought it from.

Highly recommend what is called a "topsider".

Works wonders on oil changes.

^ true. And spend our money with like minded people. And tell them why we are so they know they are supported.

What happens when the break Sean?  This one was right for the money. Walks out with it for $900 as opposed to $1200. Good enough for what I have to deal with.

I'd lean towards Idaho. One of the few remote places with adequate rainfall to support crops with out additional irrigation

Blaine. No way that was just left in the field. Really for how long? 

Great looking project. Good father son time. Prayers for your son.

When they are old enough to ride in the front seat for the first time.....

Man,  it just hit me today riding into town with my youngest sitting in the front seat with me.

A new chapter.

That seems like a smoking deal.  I have the manual trans 3901L and I like it.  FEL work is more deliberate.  Mine had 202 hours and I paid 18 for it.

Nate nice unit and great pickup. what's the temp diff between main and side chamber?

Could you cook ribs in the side while a butt or brisket on the main?

JR, may He give you the grace to handle this correctly and set the example for your family.  Prayers sent.

It's gunna take more than an ice maker.....

And now you see the true genius of the whiskey.....It'll either help her like you more or make you not care.....

Ken, :stickpoke accepted.  Thanks for the PM.

Sean sorry I created a DOT feeding frenzy....

I'll try to be more constructive.
 You're smart enough to cover the basics  so here are a few added extras I like.
zip ties, lots of zip ties.
disposable packable ponchos
a portable battery pack for electronics (like a brick with a USB port that will charge multiple phones while hiking or away from AC power)
I like to carry some freeze dried mountain house food.  On the night of the arrival and set up people are usually really worn out and a quick boil of water will put food on the table in less than 10 minutes. You can cook the rest of the nights.
books.  Real books on paper. camping is, for me, a time to read a fiction novel.  I usually only read leadership books, history or biographies (or books by crazy piluts) but camping lets me check out for a while.
playing cards.  I beat my wife and kids mercilessly at rummy.
smore sticks and smore fixings.  Try one with a Reeses peanut butter cup and marshmallow between two graham crackers.....stupid good

Actually mine is black and the larger model.  Had to do over again, I'd get the small one.  No real need for the big one.  that just hapened to be the one that googlefu turned up first.

Uuuuhhhhh.....my ice maker in my RV is handy for roughing it. And a stack of styrofoam cups for my whiskey

Phil when is the next launch?  I was considering taking the girls to see a launch live.  (I'd like to see it too!) We take space travel for granted.

OK, tried something new tonight.  I get so busy at work that I walk across to a greek restaurant fairly regularly to eat their greek salad with beef and lamb gyro meat.  That gets to be expensive multiple times a week at $20 a pop.  So I thought I'd try to replicate the salad at home and see if I can save a few bucks.

Leg of lamb:

4.5 lb leg
7 cloves minced fresh garlic
zest of 2 lemons
juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup EVOO
1/3 cup red wine
2 tbs chopped fresh oregano
1 tbs grey poupon mustard

Salt and pepper the lamb, rub with the marinade and marinate 3-4 hours or overnight.  Place on shallow roasting rack at 375 and roast until well done (the only way the greeks eat their meat) or about 155 internal temp flipping about 3/4 the way through to get browning on both sides.

Salad:

Rough chopped iceberg and romaine lettuce
sliced red and green bellpepper
thin sliced purple onion
thin shredded purple cabbage
thin sliced radish
grated carrot
Chopped fresh oregano
Later when assembling the salad:

Add quartered roma tomatos, pepperoncini, pitted kalmata olives, capers and feta cheese.

Greek dressing:

1.5 cups good olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tbs good balsamic vinegar
1tbs grey poupon mustard
1tbs dried dill
1tbs dried oregano
1tbs black pepper
1tbs sugar
1tbs salt
1tbs garlic powder
Juice of one lemon

place in jar and shake well and refrigerate


To serve.  Place salad in bowl, add tomatos, capers, olives, pepperoncini, and feta cheese.  Drizzle salad dressing and toss.  Slice meat very thinly and place on top.  Serve with fresh lemon wedges.

In the processes of trying to locate a clogged washing machine drain. All I know is that this drain does not run into the septic tank. It has its own line on a different side of the house, into what I'm assuming is a dry well. So I am wondering, should I cut the line here at the elbow and keep going with the shovel or go rent a mini-ex and replace the whole thing? I have no idea how long or where the line goes from this point. I'm leaning towards the mini.

Its not uncommon for people to discharge grey water away from the septic to keep the volume down.  Legality is suspect in certain jurisdictions, but if you know where the line ends, it may just be easier to replace as that looks like a 2 inch pipe?

Nuts. ^^
