No worries whatsoever, there have been far too few topics in my thread lately. Sadly I do not know, we entered from the east side at Three Sticks Monument. Also a note, while looking at the map the name of that watch tower we were at is called Kiamichi Lookout Tower.
I punted, installed the new rear shocks then put the lowered struts back on the front. I was upset so didn't take any other photos though.
Well I had to do some kind of a tradeoff, there were getting to be so many cars and trucks here I'd spend an hour moving them to mow, or trying to move them. I try to be careful not to get too many, but I don't think it is working, I just can't pass up a good deal. I may be selling my Glock 22, it is the only .40 I have and they just aren't as common as I thought they would be 15 years ago when I picked it up, I'll likely replace it with a 19. One of the auctions I won was a Glock drum but it didn't fit my other win, oops, happy little accident I suppose.
I did have one other die on me during a gambler, but had a group with me that kept stopping and letting me jump charge until we could make it back to camp.I had an alternator go out on my 4Runner once. Was on the turnpike and still about 50 miles from home. Was a stressful drive, trying to get home before dusk so I didn't have to turn on the lights, which would have surely drained the battery.
Our company did away with the 9/80 schedule a couple years ago. They tried to make it sound like working from home a couple days a week was an even trade off.
I have sadly been there a few times, in the end this one wasn't as simple which I'll get into later. Luckily I still had the lifetime warranty on this alternator so was able to get it swapped out Friday and installed that afternoon, then things got more complicated.
I am curious, how does one go about getting (what appears to be) an Opossum out of your house? Did you live trap or just put on a thick set of gloves and go for it?Well it has been an entertaining few days, get a call from my wife that I needed to do some eradication in our mud room, this is what greeted me when I made it home:
He was a bit scared but got him outside unharmed, not sure how he got in but suspect it was either through the garage or front door, we leave them open on occasion depending on weather or if I'm working in and around the garage.

Sigh…….I’m pretty sure you could’ve gotten a two fer, on this thread, and the “what are you cooking today” thread!Before I've just grabbed them by the tail and gotten rid of them that way, this one was about 4' from the back door so I just used a broom to push it out. Our house is 95 years old this year and I suspect I'm not the first person to push a opossum out with a broom.

I'm glad someone else got as big of a kick out of it as I did.
You have a point there, it didn't even cross my mind, I've eaten opossum before and it isn't high on my "try again" list, of course that was 25 years ago so maybe my taste buds have matured since then.
I went the stab with convenient pitchfork route in a similar opossum situation.
That's awesome!I think I found my favorite personalized plate:
JB, it was great to meet you and chat. Thanks for the equipment addition to my shop, I just got it unloaded and in place.
I do have a pitchfork, but don't keep one in the house haha. Depending on the animal I try not to kill it if possible especially in the house, too much clean up.
Except for mice and rats, they can all die!Of all the vehicles to see it on a McLaren has to be the best, I didn't get a chance to talk to the owner but already think I'd like his sense of humor.
It was great to meet you and the family, he certainly seemed to enjoy the cars I have laying around, pretty high praise when a child says that, maybe next time we can take it for a spin.JB, it was great to meet you and chat.

JB was kind enough to show me and my boy around his shop and look at some of his projects. He even showed the boy his Cobra and let the kiddo sit in it wearing JBs shades.
The boy told me that it was the best day ever after we left.
I love it when the kiddos get those.
Thanks again,
Ed
Glad the balancer is going to a good home where it'll get some use.I have heard the same and even used the argument but have recently found out that at least one study has found that not to me the case, they do eat some, but they are not a large part of the opossum's diet. Either way I'll let them live and enjoy knowing they help keep nature in balance...outside my house.
I started to remove it when I discovered it turned just fine once the mounting bolts were loosened. I'm not entirely sure I didn't drop a spacer when removing it before but either way I'm swapping it out for another today and will go from there. I really want to get that car back on the road so I can get to my 1/4 million mile goal and send it to its next home.
Being a longhorn (and some of her genetics) she will never fill out body wise, but her horns are gorgeous, she gets to stick around for that reason if nothing else. Her calf is the white one in the first photo of the cattle and is just starting to grow his horns.Those horns
She was really sweet at first and walked right with me, later that afternoon she acted like I was a coyote and won't come to me at all, feeding them will help that though. We really need some rain, the pond is very low, the grass is just starting to green up some though and this is when we normally get rain, so fingers crossed.
If only we could get some of that moisture they have been hogging in California. The last few storms that went through this area missed my place almost completely. At least it is warming up, we are supposed to hit 90°F today, I'm loving it.
@zmotorsports, I think it would be really cool for you to just sign him up for it, it is a pretty neat program GM puts on to show appreciation for their customers. They have the 100k mile stickers at least up to 1,000,000 miles that I've seen posted, I don't think I'll ever get there, but have had plenty of 300,000 miles trucks even though I've only ever taken one over that milestone.
@OutlawDrifter I've seemed to become a little more attracted to them lately, or should I say they've seemed to be attracted to me lately. Of all the ones I've picked up the past year I only actually went shopping for 1 of them, the rest just cross my path and I adopt them into a loving home. If you aren't a member I'd suggest you check it out.
I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked out, without any real lines to go off of I would just make the turn, pick a spot on the fence line and keep the tractor pointed that way. About 1/2 way into it I thought I should have tracked myself with GPS just to see how it looked, probably a good thing I didn't. haha
It certianly looks good in the photos, but is much rougher in person, rusty rockers, a few dents/dings, clear coat peeling, and AC doesn't work this year. But it has averaged 36.2 mpg this year with a lifetime average of 33.53 mpg so I can put up with some silly things to save a little money. Also I've owned a ZX2 for over 20 years now and an S/R for 19, oh well time to move on to other stuff, it was fun though.Damn! That Lemon actually looks like something I would dri…….never mind, it’s looking good all cleaned up
