Haha yeah, that stuff was good. I just looked it up a minute ago and was surprised to see it is actually still around.
those places are popping up around here too, might have to check it out
towel in the floor as usual because I took my hand off the discharge hose and it popped out of the bucket. Added some clamps to mitigate that issue. As soon as this is done, theres 2 cars awaiting diagnosis and I am mounting up new roadie tires on my bike. I still need to procure a few parts for the 11 speed swap , but hopefully I will get that done in the next few weeks.I use 6% vinegar and hot water. Let it rin for 30 minutes. Flush all the vinegar out with cold water and then pull the screen filter and clean it as well. I am supposed to do it on 1-1 every year. Been a bit busy and got begind but its done. We use an obscene amount of water here with my wifes hair salon so I try and keep the hot water heater in tiptop shape.
I've found that I can tolerate coffee when it's something like that where the coffee is a background flavor and isn't overpowering. Such as Tiramisu as long as I don't get a lot of the lady finger in the serving. I know my Dad started drinking coffee from lack of options on the drilling rig and eventually started drinking Folger coffee everyday by the pot full. I enjoy the smell of coffee, but the taste is so different then the smell to me.
Thanks Mike!
I am looking forward to getting good use out of this!
Supposedly late May for delivery, I am having it delivered to a local Vermeer dealer my buddy runs so it can be offloaded with a forklift. If its truly here by that timeframe that puts it here in time for my June canoe trip which would be perfect timing. I did order it with cross bars for my canoe as well.
Agreed! I used the coupon code for an exterior molle panel for gear as well as rails that use these cool locking clips. We use them in ambulances and I like the way they can be used to mount gear so it seemed like a good addition. Especially when its free!
I am too. They reached out yesterday to confirm which side my kitchen will be on and to verify the clamps needed to attach to the truck bed.
This is the Autel TS900. Its wireless which I am really liking, and it worked right away on a land rover I have had issues with getting to read. This tool also does a ton of tpms programming which isnt super beneficial to me, but is good to have. I lookong forward to testing some of the tools new capabilities on some upcoming cars.This tool is marketed as a 3 in 1 with TPMS and diagnostics etc. Advance auto parts where I have my commercial account with has a diagnostic scan tool rep who is very deep into the Autel ecosystem, and this was his suggestion within my budget range. I had good luck out of my old Autel and hope this one does even better. I was not searching for one with Tpms capabilities either and when I saw the packaging I was worried this might not be what I needed, but it still does all the diagnostic things as well. I ran into Chrysler security gateway for the first time last week and this tool works with that so I hope that it can do all I need for awhile.
Scope is on the list too to pick up. A tool I avoided like the plague as a flat rate mechanic, but I feel can be indispensable now as I have gotten older and want to know, not just swap parts.
Well currently, Im out here working on a Honda, when Jeff is here working I get family time plus I run back and forth and help diag, find parts and labor and sell the work we do. When hes not here and theres jobs to do, I either get up before the sun and do it or come out after my wife heads to bed. All that to say, I still hit the sack at a decent hour and get enough rest to feel like a 40 year old when I wake up hurting from being in bed too long

Ever since my beloved streamlight disappeared, I have been on the hunt for a suitable replacement. These seem to be bright enough, will see how they do. The kids spring break was last week, and one day we ended up with 5 boys over here playing and hanging out. The wife brought up how our older son wants a space away from his younger brother which prompted her to get on me about finishing the room above the salon. I had told her stepdad about it and he showed up yesterday with poplar casings he made for the windows and door in there. We cut them to size and glued and clamped them up, then took them inside to install them. 
The wood river corner clamps were really cool. They do puncture the wood to hold it, but made for a super strong corner that turned out perfect. The polar turned out nice I kinda like the contrast on the wall, but I just need to fill the nail holes and prime and paint. I hear ya, I was in short sleeve shirt yesterday moving stuff outside.Look at this ****, 70 yesterday and I mowed in shorts and today I get this after a 3 am thunderstorm
East Tennessee weather, if you dont like it, just hang around a couple hours and its gonna be totally different.
Good news is its already gone. Bad news it is gonna be 26 degrees tonight. The snow was so heavy it was blocking my radar cruise on the interstate this afternoon. Had to drive myself home usong the gas pedal like it was 1995. Once all this cold weather clears its supposed to be 80 this weekend, so I can look forward to that.
I was wrong, it stuck and when the temp dropped it froze so there's a nice sheet of ice everywhere.
Such a tragedy
same.
