Oh yeah.... Cats..

Doesn't anyone take responsibility for cats ? UGH... Makes me mad...

 

My .17 HMR will give them a permanent home and the neighbors won't even hear it happen.

 

Insensitive hater

 

I would rather have cats than rats.But then the Coyotes keep the cat population down here.

 

that AMC looks savable, and that '66 Plymouth, a buddy is putting one together (for the last 20 years), and my late Uncle coulda used that old Chevy truck for parts.

 

I think I know what would happen If you hit the lottery

 

naw...I'm count'n on Publishers Clearing House!

 

Every 2 years I do a complete electrical system maintenance program. I call it complete, but it's mainly the fuse panels and battery connections that get done. Since I live in the "Rust" state, moisture, and salt air is the enema.

So, I remove all the fuses, clean each fuse location with deoxit, clean each fuse tang, spray some deoxit GOLD in there, and put it all back together. Hard to imagine, but it does need this every few years.

Same goes with the fuse panel and connections under the hood off the battery. What a PITA.

Oh well, mostly done for now. Peace of mind in return.

 

Man that is a lot of work! Reckon how many hours you spend doing that? It's a shame that is required up there.

 

It has been snowing up here everyday for a week.
So I removed all my 1st gens from the road last week. I don't drive them on the salty roads, I take the winter to work on them and get them ready for next spring/summer.
The '95 workhorse is now the daily driver. I need to clean it up and hit it with some oil again.

 

spent 4.5 hours so far. Figure another hour or so to finish.

 

Snow?!? It's been unusually mild here, in the 80's. We carved a pumpkin last night in shorts and t-shirts, a first for Halloween for me in my 52 years.

I swapped my after market gauges from my two pod Banks dash pod that sat on the right and a single to a 3-pod that sits on the left. Much nicer! For one, most all the gauges are together now and 2, it is now in my line of sight. Nice to have 5 gauges all together and easy to glance at.

 

Hit 61 here in MN today. Also dropped my rad off at the radiator shopped to have it cleaned and inspected.

 

One of the tribulations you must endure if you want to keep your old iron in good condition while driving it year round.

I need to do a bunch of maintenance on patches next summer....mostly exterior paint and surface rust starting. Now that I live up north with long winter months of driving I have to keep up even more with the OCD maintenance of the vehicle....like T-man.

 

i usually give mine a good rinse down after I back it down onto the beach. that saltwater can do a number! in other news, my grids have yet to cycle
