A Shed Downunder.

[1/2 Cup]

Fine grinder. I like the size of those work supports.

Hope you can take a video with sound of initial startup of the engine so we can all hear it.

Well if any arm twisting did go on who got the better deal? Oh yes a video of the first fire up is essential it is like the golden grail when you fire a new engine in a project for the first time.

Gentlemen, I have to admit that I got the better deal, at least that's my humble opinion..

Never fear a video of the engines first run is a must, still a little ways off yet.

It is the small things and detail now that seem to be taking a huge amount of time. Today I spent a couple of hours just remounting up the throttle position sensor, it had never been done properly and was basically just flopping around.
An hour just to remove the exhaust gas temp and O2 sensor, another hour or so on brackets and the list goes on
Need a new this or that, waiting waiting as it delays finishing something else.

Anyway I am enjoying the challenge an do not want to rush anything.

Have a good one..

Just remembered its New Years Eve here tommorrow and all the best for 2017..

PS I for one will be in the land of nod by then...

Pretty sure it's not new years eve until tomorrow 1/2 cup... To echo the others, engine looks great! Nice big grinder also.

Andrew, ooops lost track of days being on leave which is a good thing..

Thank you, its been great to get some QST and focus 110 % on the engine for a change.

The grinder runs so sweet and from what I can see it hasn't done a whole heap of hours, looking forward to adding it to the fleet ( space permitting )

Have a good one..

 

[BiTurbo228]

Happy New Year's too! For tomorrow of course

I do need to get cracking the the MG F. It is getting some love at the moment in the form of polybushes and a stainless exhaust, but nothing quite as extensive as yours!

 

[drivesitfar]

1/2: once you get on mine and Andy's schedule or (Crocodile Dundee's) the actual days don't mean a darn thing. every day is a Saturday except every 7 days you have a Sunday to fit in there.

I know you have been IMMERSED in an engine rebuild, but tip one tonight in your dreams at us that will do the same back to you when our time comes around to celebrate being above dirt for all of 2016 and looking forward to doing the same for 2017 and many years to follow.

hope the new TENANTS are doing more good things besides watering the lawns, but nice to hear that they are at least doing that. still crossing my fingers for you and Mrs. 1/2 on being landlords especially since it's next door.

cheers and again it's a joy following all your adventures. also you might want to get a new pair of sneakers with good supports once the new RODENTS get really mobile.

BiTurbo, great to see the MG F getting some TLC.

We are doing a poly bushing make over as well, the old bushings can be a pain to press out let me tell you, but will make a huge difference when you complete it..

All the best with it..

drives, I cant wait for the day that I have seven Saturdays in the week.

I am certainly planning on seeing out yet another year ( fingers crossed )

We haven't seen much of the new tenants as yet, they basically moved in one day and from what I understand they are away on holidays so it has been all good so far.
I do have to mow the lawns there today as was the arrangement I made with the property manager.

I must post a new pic of the rodents, you will be amazed at just how they have grown over the last few weeks.. They are upwardly mobile and as feisty as all get out...

Thank you yet again and I will take this opportunity to wish you and yours all the best for the new year...

Dan, that is just gold.

Thank you ever so much for sharing..

PS, now that has given me some inspiration as well when I get back to work, take one plasma cutter and a sheet of aluminium or stainless.

I remember all the Y2K hoopla. I had already set my computer clock ahead to watch it perform normally as it rolled over to the new year (IT manager said "why didn't I think of that?"). It was still of great interest to watch you guys successfully navigate the treacherous waters of make believe at 7:00 AM on our New Year's Eve. I did get up early to watch.

This year will be the uneventful ushering in of a truly great year, welcome to 2017!

Andy, I remember the Y2K well, the sun still rose next morning.

It will be a quiet one here tonight for this black duck at my age why would I stay up just to see a clock tick over and loose valuable sleep. We see on the news next morning anyway..

Never fear, the signature line is in my face every day and its a calendar event in my phone just to be doubly sure..

Andrew, the Y2K cost the world a whole heap of coin, we spent countless days and months preparing for it at work..

I did not realise that we have a leap second this year, unreal..


Thank you one and all, I am back to some QST

 

[oldironfarmer]

Interestingly, the Y2K corporate efforts I was involved in started as a study to determine whether there would be any detrimental effects of the clock change. It soon morphed into the bureaucrat's delight, certification of suitability. No matter whether the product or system could be prone to failure, or was it susceptible to failure, was it certified against failure. When it degraded to that point, which was only a responsibility shift to have Otis, Honeywell, or whomever certify that this model and serial number was suitable I bowed out of the committees I was on and told them they no longer needed engineering input, it was now an administrative effort. They proudly led the charge!

I circulated an email the first day of work after the blessed event which read something like this:

"Fellow survivors: We survived quite an ordeal. I actually overslept 1-1-2000 because my wind up alarm clock failed. I was scared to connect to mains power because I had not received certification from the Electric Utility in time, and likewise could not use my electric radio (certification in hand!) as my generator did not have certification so I did not use it out of an abundance of caution. The ice chest performed well, the one area I bravely elected to use a non-certified device in spite of my fears. The refrigerator I had was old and Sears refused to even consider offering any certification, and it would have required generator or mains power regardless. When we finally looked out of the bunker about 10:00 AM we were surprised we did not see any marauding inner city dwellers but we remained sequestered until the following morning realizing wisely that they might have not made it this far out yet. We finally tried connecting to the mains power only to learn it had not been compromised after all. But still, with no certification it was a very bold and risky move to make. We feel confident the caution we took protected us from unwarranted irrational fear of the unknown."

 

[Bob Heine]

I was happy to get out of the IT industry in May 1999. I was a contractor at AOL at the time and Y2K was no big deal. The real problems were in ancient legacy code, mostly COBOL stuff written in the 1950-70s. All of the data was entered using 80-column punch cards (or small pin-punched tags from clothing and other items). To save two columns, years were expressed as two digits, not four. The software that relied on punch-card input ran on 8-bit machines with 4K memory banks (they did look like bank vaults) so they didn't waste digits either.

The Y2K problem was understood and described by genealogy software developers in the 1950s. Those folks also knew that century years (1500, 1700, etc.) did not get the extra leap year day -- unless it was divisible by 400 (1200, 1600, 2000). Those years got the extra day. IBM was hiring back programmers who had been retired for decades. Much of the code, used for actuarial tables and other arcane minutia for Insurance companies and banks was completely undocumented and comments had been a luxury rarely used in that extremely tight code. Those elderly programmers had to inspect the code, find the date calculations and re-write it so it would continue to function after the millennium change. Most of the code written after the punch-card era was fine but the senior management at most companies (including IBM) panicked once they understood that they had no clue how bad the problem might be. Only news reporters were more clueless than those executives but they found every Chicken Little on the planet and interviewed them.

Be careful, or afraid..... 'cause I think they are checking your mowing height consistency . . . . Seems like a bit of shop steward leading going on there. And I'm sure if I squint just the right way, I can see a set of verniers behind one of them for gapping the edging!!!!!

Steve, guys, you're missing the opportunity here; This picture will make a great poster for the first dogs that can mow grass and detail it besides. They also can be billed as not needing dog food of any kind and able to fertilize without striping. Can you imagine what you could ask for such an animal? If you photo shop a picture of you in a lawn chair drinking a beer with the caption lawn care in 1/2 the time retirement could possibly be moved up a few years for the profit of it all.

Steve, did you pee out there? Someone sure did -- it's probably the only thing that would make them ALL stop and smell.

Bob, the wiring harness looks more complicated than it is, basically a factory loom that is designed to pretty much plug and play with every thing having designated connectors.

I just need to tidy it up a little and redo some of the terminations where is has been interfaced to the ECU.

No, I don't pee there its too close to the gate for all to see ( up the other end of the lawn is ok though ).

Pups look great Steve! But, some of those blades of grass look to be bigger than the rodents! What's up with that?

Coop, thank you.

My lawns are basically "Weeds with Culture". The long grass is Paspalum.

My front lawn is rotten with it and my mission this season is to use a selective spray and get rid of it once and for all.

I actually mowed the lawn a week ago then we had a real down pour and it just goes crazy.

i've wired several homes and that little wiring harness has me stumped so looking forward to seeing how you plug and play so to speak.

looks like mama is checking the gate in one picture to see if escape is possible so keep an eye on that gal she's a smart one that is for certain.

yep more QST.

i've discovered why I like ORGANIZING. it's sort of my version of ADULT TETRIS. here's a glimpse of my 9x15 garage after just re arranging for the old school fire cabinets. we also got 5 inches of snow last night and 20 minutes north of us my daughter didn't have any.

drives, seriously they do nibble on the grass at times but are a little too small to do the whole lawn.

Evie ( the pups mum ) is the gate guardian at the best of times, she certainly lets us know if any one is in the street.

I think I may have to get a couple of sheep, second thoughts NO I will stick with the Victa Mustang with the 19 inch edge to edge cut, my Atom Lawn Edger and my Mitutoyo Digital calipers.

The wiring harness is coming up nicely and will certainly be worth the effort in the long run. I will get a pic of what I have done today a little later.

Thank you for sharing your storage solutions, looking fantastic and very workable to I might add.
Even though mine is workable that's one thing I could improve a lot on.

Awesome pictures of the snow.

Now that sends a chill down my spine just looking at it says me with our cooling on..

Steve, thank you for giving me a more cultured name for that weed. I have them in my lawn as well and I have to use a weed spade on them. Paspalum sounds so much better than what I have been calling them. I received approval from SWMBO to hire out the weed and fertilizer spraying.

Bob, I am on a crusade to rid my lawn of this dastardly weed

I have tried digging it out in the past with limited success. The issue I have is that should I use a selective spray I am guessing that 1/2 the lawn will be killed due to the number of different weeds I have.

I have to start some where..
