What did you do "IN" your garage today?

[Outlawmws]

You're brother looks like a red headed Kurt Busch.

I see the start, or part, of a lantern collection too!

Rails came in before we had to leave for the evening, so I ran out and installed the new server and made sure it booted with correct specs.

Don't worry. Windows isn't staying on it. I'll be installing proxmox on Monday.

The new server is the one in the middle. I'll be repurposing two of the 15k drives from the top server for a raid1 OS drive for the new server.

Once I get migrated to it, I'll be respinning the bottom server to proxmox too.

Only 30TB of sata storage on the new box.

Plex movie server? Let me patch in!

 

[ToolsRCool]

Rebuilt a couple carbs

Those AFB carbs work solid. Have used them on most all of my builds, know them inside and out.

 

[niget2002]

I switched to Emby.

Today I replaced the front wheels on the push mower with some I got for Christmas.

Cleaned.

Put some 300gb 10k SAS drives in the new server for the OS, setup the raid and installed proxmox.

Brought in 10 buckets of firewood.

I don't see how you can make a beautiful piece like that and then beat yourself up over accuracy. That's really, really nice.

Maybe like your project, I didn't set out to make it or any of the components to a certain dimension. The lumber became the dimensions they were after planning, cutting and ect. It's all scraps except the hickory and walnut I used in the legs. The top is literally a puzzle made from my scrap pile. I just cut the pieces to work together. Their size, determined the dimensions.

In you project I figured each square was predetermined to have a desired dimension. Sounds like after I think about it more, our processes are probably very similar.

Started getting my cart loaded to change a radiator, water pump and all the hoses in my Jeep.

Also I had to explain to the Jeep why I bought the new Bronco.

That may seem silly, but Jeeps are very sensitive.

Been working on learning the art of tube bending. Its going very slow, so I phoned a friend and we cranked out a main hoop this morning. I've got a much better idea of what I'm doing now, so its time to get busy.

Probably why it started peeing coolant on the floor

Finally got around to swapping the brakes on the Expedition.

Rebuilt some dead LED tiki torch heads. Testing the charging systems on the remainder of them in front of a work light.

Quite successful partying the last three days. I’m pooped. 45 people, both past and current employees, from the place I used to work showed up on Friday evening and didn’t leave until 1am. Good grief lol. Saturday afternoon around 3pm customers of our seed corn business started trickling in and the last ones left around 12:30am. In all there were around 160 people with wives and kids and some random neighbors that wandered in. We sort of invite everyone and have a good time.

Saturday looked like this most of the time with almost all of the tables being filled at least twice. It was really cool to see everyone here. We hosted a taco bar and it was a hit. They devoured 30lbs of hamburger, 12lbs of chicken and 10lbs of pork along with 15lbs of shredded cheese, 8lbs of onions, 16 green peppers, 5lbs of sour cream, 2gal of nacho cheese sauce, 100 soft shells, 60 hard shells and 75 little bags of Doritos for taco in a bag. We didn’t run out of anything but came dang close on a couple things !!

Nothing in shop 1, didn't work on shop 2 I currently have under construction. Handed my wife a peavey, a hookeroon, a husky, 6 gallons of fuel and a wood splitter today. She did such a good job I had her take me out to lunch to give her a break.

So, which part of Mars are you from, and what dialect of Martian are you speaking?

 

[GreenIron]

Did some repair on the old Fluke 73 III.


All four post were broken, alone with the face plate.
Had to bond them all and replace the battery.





Glad I added the protective cover years ago.

Had you done that for me, you'd be posting from the bottom of the septic tank.

Has someone been using it for batting practice?

Don't threaten him with a good time.

They fall out of moving and unmoving service trucks all the time. A place I worked had them all uncased to save money, and they constantly lost them to drops. I ordered maybe 20 or 30 rubber shock cases for the herd. They lost maybe 1 in the same time they'd lose the whole herd.

Before or after you pumped it out?

 

[LeonardY]

Went into the garage multiple times because I couldn't find one tool or another. When I do jobs in the house I have this tendency to only grab the tool I need. That goes on and on. Until I have a bunch of tools scattered all over.
At the end I grab my tool bag and load them into it so I only make one trip to put them away. Yup, it's *** backwards.

I installed a couple of drawers in the kitchen. They had been sitting in the dinning room for a while.

Now I want a taco.

Working on Project Brownie today, the 1991 F350 crew cab diesel dually.



Got the roof spoiler off. Now I need to patch the holes from the screws used to attach it.



Got the rear glass out. Now I need to patch up two areas of rust.




Flushed radiator (drained block, too), changed all the belts and hoses, new thermostat, new vacuum pump, and vacuum line from pump to the booster. Brakes work much better now.

 

[kaymccampbell]

Before. I only have it pumped after the evidence dissolves.

Finished the passenger side front suspension on the Silverado. Now for PA safety inspection and front end alignment.

I do the same thing. At some point my brain realizes I've been grabbing too many tools and I somehow remember to grab a 5 gallon bucket. The bucket is used to carry all the tools back to the shop. Then all the tools sit in the 5 gallon bucket until I start looking for one of them and remember it's in the bucket. Then I finally take everything out of the bucket only for the next 'house' project to start and the whole process starts over.

This morning I went out into the shop and installed the KVM. It arrived too late last night for me to install it then. After that I did a bit of cable maintenance to make things look a little nicer.

I think my last project for the rack will be to install some side panels and make some type of door for it with integrated air filter. The current air filter is held in place with 4 spring clamps.

Too funny I had to go look closer and I do agree! He’s a guy I have known off and on since we were five up to graduated high school and started camping Close by/wheelin Together. Hes the guy that got me out of my dead end warehouse job into Millwrighting. I know he’s the only person that if I needed a bailout or shoulder to cry on, he’s first one there for me.

I see the start, or part, of a lantern collection too!

Yep my common law wifes dad gave me all those lanterns he’s had kicking around up at the cabin before he sold the place. One day I hope to restore them back to shape.

 

[PhantomEB]

Back to work I go after a Weekend of memories made. Got to get my truck unstuck after work, highway tires buried in solid ice around them ain’t making it fun. And I hate not having use of that truck when I need it or want to drive it.

woke up to a dream of me using the bronco to winch it out then was out wheelin with a bunch of toyotas….

said to myself no **** idiot….If you had the bronco mobile, you very well could of done that! As well I should replace my ATV in the next 2-3 years. Wife gets her Newer Honda or Toyota ( I am pushing for the Toyota RAV4).

Friggin UPS, now my dash switches and chrome won’t be here til Friday. Guess I better use this week to get some 110vplugs working around the garage.

I didn't know there was another way to do it!

those are beautiful, big drawers...what will go in them, and how wide are they?

Like you wouldn't have already had all the wood split and stacked.LOL

And bones melt inside it.

I now imagine you in an old western, and some local yocal judge telling you ''Dont be killin no one that don't need killin''

 

[GreenIron]

Has someone been using it for batting practice?

Not that I'm aware of.

I have dropped it quite a few times over the years. I think the most damage done was when I asked a co-worker to send the Fluke up to me while I was working on a RT Crane. Before I had a chance to lower the tool-bucket, he lobbed it to me. His throw was off by a few feet off.

 

[Jay__Dub]

Hunting for some metal to make a couple of brackets, and ran across these 2 from my, "I'll use that some day", pile of junk. Bolt holes are the right size, and line up perfectly. Just have to get a few bends in them. That is why I hate throwing stuff away!
