Hope everything is going alright over there. You been a little quiet lately.

Can’t believe how much it costs to keep a lawn mower running these days. I got a JD X340 off of Craigslist for about 1/3 price 15 years ago. But I guess sitting in the shed for three years takes its toll. First off I got the tires all patched up. Amazon sells these patches that are like screws...

One of the recent projects is to update the new boat trailer. Even though the trailer is built for 15 inch wheels it came with 14in. It’s hard to find companies with quality control. After a lot of back and forth I finally got the wheels. So time to stick them on the trailer. A little before...

Well finally I am on terminal leave from the Navy. Been home about six weeks now and been doing a lot of catching up. Anything with a motor i have been working on trying to get things back up to par. Will start posting shed updates and projects soon I guess. A lot has happened since my last...

Well not a lot of posts or action in the shed. The older cars have been replaced with newer ones and I have been working in forth worth the last three years. The shed unfortunately has been turned into a she shed while I been out here. I have plans to solve that issue when I get back but it’s...

That’s what I ended up doing. I done all the manual work from the house to the shed. And then I ran everything in the shed. It had not burned down in the last six years so I think I did something right. Only problem I have had with it is when charging the boat batteries the squirrels thought it...

Something I did a while ago. Got a space for all the fishing rods now.

Currently how it sits.

I see it’s a while since I posted. The job took me out to Texas and I been working out there still living in Florida. Not a lot getting done in the garage. Since I am working out there and the family is here I got some newer cars so not as much maintenance going on. And the boat is just sitting...

Decided to get better tires for the boat trailer. I been running the cheap bias tires from Walmart. At 60-70 bucks a pop it never bothered me. But now that they are almost 200 bucks I went and got better tires. I also went up to 14 in rims as well. Currently having the boat worked on have an oil...

Wow it’s been a while. I got busy with work with a lack of manpower from COVID. I was actually in Asia when it began and they had no idea what to do with me at work. Anyways, I will soon be retired from this job after 27 years and I will be looking for new work. Will post on that as the time...

It’s been a while since I updated. Mostly because I been using the **** out of this boat. Any ways I updated the boat and installed a Rhodan trolling motor on it. I have been able to test it in the creek but not offshore since installing it. The ocean has been just pissed. I took the trailer in...

Today I took the time to try out my new orbital buffer from chemical guys. It does a very nice job. I got the mustang all polished and waxed. Also need to clean the garage now what a dump compared to the shed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So I had a grinding noise while apply the last portion of breaks on my mustang. I replaced the Potts and break pads. Noice still there. I tore everything back apart and lubed everything again. Then I changed the wheel bearings and the noise went away for about a week and now it has returned. WTF...
