Re: DRIVESITFAR IS GETTING ORGANIZED in his 9x15 portion of 2 car garage. DIY’s & COO Maybe the worms are a bit of extra protein and that's where your energy is coming from... lol. I won't be there in time to pick ours (I think the neighbor is going to get them) but in the future, I'll...

Hey Drives, Yep, I've been fighting the pic thing... I've been reluctant to commit to the hosting site concept because of the PB fiasco... I'd prefer to not have to deal with that sort of headache. As far as posting pics using the GJ website... I can get a pic to download but, once I get to...

Re: DRIVESITFAR IS GETTING ORGANIZED in his 9x15 portion of 2 car garage. DIY’s & COO Hey Drives, You're making great progress on the back steps and retaining wall! It's awesome that your bride is working the 'crete as you're mixing/pouring... many hands... We have a few blueberry bushes as...

Hey Rian, Your place was nice before but, after the past few months of hard work, it's turned into a show piece! The work on the barbie, deck, paving, compressor shed... and the orphan garden... absolutely amazing! And, I'm sure pics don't do justice! Wish I lived closer... would love to see...

I had considered that... would definitely save some time! My only concern is that the UV would deteriorate the fiberglass. As of late, that's the only place I've used those... maybe I should leave them there. I'm sure my misses could figure out some sort of hanging flower baskets to make them...

And... to get completely caught up with the farm happenings... A couple weeks ago now, lightning struck our TV antenna taking out our TV and internet. No pics... wasn't much to see... a little "transformer " that connects the coax to the antenna was blown to pieces... TV not working but no...

A few weeks ago (probably a week or 10 days after my last roof adventure) we had another storm front come through... we lost 4 ridge shingles this go-round. Actually, I think the shingle (that we lost the first time) fluttered for a while before it finally turned loose... and loosened up those...

Oops... I think I said I used grade 8 hardware... looks a lot like grade 5 to me... duhhh... Anyways, you can see the three abandoned holes. The new locations seem to have worked out well. A few pages back, Justin asked for an "after action report" on the cab mount bushings... I'll combine...

I didn't get any in-progress pics because of all the hammering and drilling... guess I was "in the zone" ...lol ...D Sent from my SM-N960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

One of the last problems I needed to fix involved the stops for the fronts of each overload spring. Shortly after i bought the truck, I replaced the bushings on the front leafs and had intended to replace the bushings on the rears. Long story short, I bought and installed new rear springs...

Dang... too much text?? Filler... Bracket installed Hanger installed Sent from my SM-N960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

IIRC, I mentioned, maybe back around March or so, that one evening as we were leaving Lewiston, I was pulled over by one of the county's finest. Stated reason for stop: no mud flaps. Actually, he was looking for drunks. He was a pretty nice guy... K-9 troop. Since that was my job for a...

Hmmm... looks like this may work... Another problem I had to address was to lengthen the tailpipe hanger. I previously mentioned that I was able to cut off/apart the OEM hanger and reinstall it... but it was too short. It would have worked were it not for my B & W gooseneck hitch. There was...

While I was working on installing the new exhaust system, I mentioned that the air tube was too long (and at an incorrect angle) to fit on the front of the cat... so I cut it off. Had to make several pie cuts to achieve the correct angle... Tacked and welded. I had to fab and weld on a...

I've been thinking about the problems with posting pics... I post using the app because I can't seem to post pics from my phone via the regular GJ site. When I post at the farm, everything goes via wifi and seems to work well. I don't have any sort of internet connection at my place here in...

I'm really not understanding this hit and miss pic thing... Bike Rapids ...D Sent from my SM-N960U using The Garage Journal mobile app

Finally... my buddy and I are back on the bikes! I definitely need it... I've definitely fallen off the exercise wagon. Summer before last, we rode over 1,500 miles. We started off riding 3 - 4 days a week and then quickly upped it to 7 days... unless one of us had some other commitment. We...

Not sure if Wyoming has more wind than any other state but I sure wouldn't want to be where it might blow more than it does here! 70 mile per hour winds, around here, is pretty much just another day. Can't even count the number of days I've been feeding horses when it was 40° below zero with...

Not sure I'm understanding what's happening. First post (of today) with pics seemed to work just fine... now, with this last one, no pics... I'll try again? House in Deer Lodge Continental Divide Entering Wyoming Wyoming prairie fingers crossed... Sent from my...

I've been making this trip for a number of years and noticed this house the first time I drove by. I love the "gingerbread" detail on the gables and have considered doing something similar on my own house. I've always intended to get off the interstate long enough to get a quick pic but I've...
