What did YOU do today?

[scotts90ranger]

First pic is one newer than I posted before once I screwed down the floor and started putting stuff up there.

Next is the crane before and after install... I think I'm just going to leave it as is for now and see how it works when lifting heavy stuff... my joists aren't standard, they're 4x4's so they're more stable than normal and I centered it on a wall. I got the crane deal used for super cheap so it didn't come with the telescopic piece or the winch so I bought one of the 110V 1300lb units on sale the other day and had to make the telescopic part with pulley (found a pulley from a come-a-long) and the bracket so the winch would mount to the boat winch plate... used more of the 1/4" plate I used for the bottom...

Just put in vacation requests for all the overlanding trips I currently have planned for this year.

Yes. I'm at work.

I just drank my first of many glasses of "blow out your colon cleaner". After of course taking two laxatives. All in preparation for letting some stranger shove a camera up my pooper tomorrow at high noon.

FUNTIMES!!!

Did that once. Don't plan on a rerun unless they can convince me that there is a high likelyhood of finding something wrong.

Never had one myself...

That doesn’t sound fun to me… but if you think it’s fun.

I’m not looking forward to the doctor telling me that day has arrived… everyone that I’ve talked to that has had it done, doesn’t have anything nice to say about it, lol

I'm about 5 years away and definitely not looking forward to that day either. To get back on a better subject...

Remind me what size this shop is. I know I've seen it before, but I don't remember and I'm liking what I'm seeing here. Dad has one of those cranes as well. Set up to mount on his flat bed trailer. Very handy. Used it to load up my spare 5.0 I needed to do the rebuild for my 99. Essentially used it like an engine hoist since the engine and transmission were mounted on an old first gen frame.


Today I did... nothing again.

Exhaust shop did not get to my Ranger last week. Headed out to the hunting club Friday evening for the weekend. Sat morning my gut said no. No as in I might be doing a Uncle Gump impression if I went into the stand. All was well sat afternoon, but got no shots in. Had three does run past me wide open, something spooked them behind me and all I saw was the white flag bouncing across the bottom in front of me. Pretty sure it was the *** with a loud exhaust and louder sterio ripping down the road a few minutes earlier.

Woke up this morning and dad wasn't feeling great so I stayed in bed. If I'd gotten up and hunted he would have too, and he doesn't need to push it if he's hurting. Got home around noon, ate some lunch, then it started raining.

I did similar. Overlanding trips, a regular vacation week, and a week of deer hunting.

I did round two last year. I'm on the 5 year plan because of family history. Not that they have found anything either time they've bore scoped me.

Wasn't feeling the small LED bar the previous owner installed on the bumper, so I removed it.

Installed a pair of Hella 500 driving lights I had sitting in a box...much better

That's the same outcome I'm hoping for.

I'm just damn glad I get to wake up early tomorrow and drink the rest of this stuff and do it again!!!

I kind of want to score a set of the old rectangular Marchal lights to sling under the bumper on my 85 when the time comes, but those fit the theme pretty well too.

I'll probably be on that plan too. Because they can get more money out of the insurance company, not because of family history. "Hey Jan, this one has medical insurance, think we can get him in ever 3 years?" I swear that even now half my doctor visits are just so that someone can bill the insurance.

I’ve been working on and off lately on editing videos and getting stuff set to upload to my YouTube. Been kinda sick and it’s been miserable outside all cold and snowy so it’s been a good excuse to sit inside and get this done since I’ve really been putting it off. I finally have a functional computer and some editing software on it so it’s been happening. It’s also a bit of a stupid time suck, there’s a lot of reviewing clips and trying to organize them and whatnot. Which I knew it was going to be and part of why I’ve been putting it off so long. But yeah, my channel is getting rebooted and videos are starting to drop. Go check it out and subscribe, lol.
