They snuck Sand Dune National Park in on us, which added time. Dirty Mabel Resting while we did a Roadkill Funeral.

We had a great time! Finished 7th out of 30 some cars and 11th in Fundraising. There is a Buffalo Adventure Run Facebook page where all of the teams upload their pictures and videos but I will put a few here. The weather was difficult, drove through Tornado Warnings, baseball sized hail and...

Dirty Mabel is running as good as it ever has. We will change fluids tonight and take off on Thursday Afternoon. These are this years challenges. There is a Buffalo Run Adventure Challenge page on facebook if anyone wants to follow along live. The route I have mapped out is 1473 miles and...

Shop has a torn apart 2nd gen Bronco in it so I'm embracing my inner shade tree mechanic. Listening to Dave Alvin "Harlen County Line".

We made the decision this week to pull the plug on Willie for the run this year. Pulling Dirty Mabel out of retirement again. Last Night I fixed the wiring the rats ate and installed a new auxiliary tank. We are hoping for a 700mile range this year. Added another 32 gallons of range. Still...

Just tell him different colors and patina are in right now

That XB-450i looks like it would work good for breaking down tractor tires while still mounted on the tractor. I have 4 new tires I need to mount up on my loader.

Timing chain replacement. Never trust one of those old fiber gears, even on a 47k vehicle.

Got some work done this week on Willie. Mostly still disassembling and cleaning and buying parts. Trying to get a full set of tools in the new shop.

I haven't been buying much but if something super interesting appears I will go take a look. These came from a machine shop that is closing down. Can't go wrong with a diesel powered mower. Edit -- I also bought a 3phase disc sander but I guess I didn't take a picture. I will update this...

We had our first 100f on Sunday. I stayed in and did my taxes.

Actually my Willie is Sequoia Brown Metallic :)

It's a family event so we have to maintain at least plausible deniability. His name is Willie (insert your own joke here)

We got it moved and started our list of things that need done. I put 90s F250 wheels on with hupcaps and Beauty Rings. I think it looks pretty good.

Its time to get ready for the Buffalo Adventure Run, a 24ish hour charity run we do every year. This year we are retiring Dirty Mabel and running an entirely inappropriate race vehicle to Pike's Peak and back. I have this 1972 F250 that I have been wanting to get on the road anyway so we are...

Haven't posted anything in a while. Work has gotten really busy and I have been wrapped up in clearing up my dads estate. I just lucked into another shop. Where I work had this empty building that hasnt been used in years and I got permission to use it for a rediculously low amount. This...

The military books I mentioned earlier were used by guy of all ranks in various jobs. I dug out one of my old ones I used during my time with Field Artillery. "World Famous Romeo 5/11" We used the same books in the Navy. I wrote hundreds of pages in them while on watch as Petty Officer or...
