OK, nobody here so what you see is what you get. Coffee, phoo and dew are here, dew is now on tap.

Quick question from last week. Who builds a garage that's too small for his toys?

Funny, Blake...


Mornin, DTR. Had a good time yesterday and last night. Got the Ball joints done in about 5-ish hours, then drank beer and ate good. I think that Chris might be staying longer than he thought if I keep feeding him...







I like these moogs. Took her for a ride yesterday after we got done, night and day. Both lowers were trashed...

Man, we made a mess... tools everywhere...



Give me a lever long enough, I'll move the world... Good thing for chain link fence posts...





Good times...



Someone was being funny... drinking my beer and what do I get?



Again, a big thanks to Chris. Couldn't have done it with out him or his tools... He taught me how to do it, so next time, I got it.

First of all, it ain't a 'garage', it's a saw shed. Key word being 'SAW'. It houses the SAW, don't need to kill a million trees to build a garage just to keep the weather off of the saw head. <Dang city people!>

Who the heck does mechanic work in SHORTS??? Shorts are for Joe Homeowner Backyarder mechanic wanna-be's!

You'll forget it all by next weekend, who're you kidding?

Morning all. Nice title Rick, now NO ONE will be able to find the place!

Morning all.

Nice one Rick, I can just imagine Chaikwa trying to back the mill in there!


Mark, you and Chris should be ashamed of yourselves. Never ever use antisieze when doing a job like that, it is supposed to sieze up solid for the next guy. Nice job both of you! Sure makes doing work like that more tolerable when you can joke around and have some suds at the same time.

Mark nice pictures, looks like you guys had a good time. How many miles did you have on the originals? I had 120K and the lowers were trashed. I ended up having to do more work though,mine need tierods, bearings, track bar, ujoints, and i did brakes too.


Morning dtr...almost noon here. Hanging out with the gf today, gonna go for lunch then we might head up to bass pro. Going to a truck pull at the county fairgrounds tonight.

changed the fuel filter on my daughters grand am. the "fuel" that poured out after I took it off looked like MUD. I added a can of sea foam and put in $20 worth of real fuel. the stuff that poured out of filter smelled like old fuel mixed with cheap whiskey....

Totallyrad

Yeah, I saw the shed but it still doesn't explain why you built it so small! (Anybody else feel like they're watching a re-run of the werewolf scene in Young Frankenstein?)


I see what you mean. With no references to sheep why would anyone look in here?


Youngsters always have trouble with the more is less theory.

And the best is yet to come. Better pick up a couple more filters.

Afternoon all. Mark, I like long cheaters too. I remember once helping my dad in the drive put ball joints on an big Chrysler. A ten foot cheater almost wasn't long enough. How many miles did you get on those?

Fronty Owner

Yea, Prolly...there was only about 1/8 of a tank when I changed the filter so maybe that was the worst of it...

Totallyrad

If you get it that low again you might consider putting a long piece of fuel line on the filter housing and sticking it back in the tank to see what you can knock loose, then change it again. Make it work kinda like a parts cleaner, recycling the gas back into the tank.

Hi gang - - quiet and peaceful Sunday afternoon in Florida. Nice rain coming home from church, but blue skies since. Got in a good swim and some rays. Son and DIL here for the weekend. He is off trying to find his friends and see his old haunts.

Hope your day is a peaceful as ours has been.
