the grey-t escape
took the old 12’x6’ kennel panels & made a tractor shelter, just need to wrap it with tarps. Free up a little inside garage space.

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Ill have a 2.9 in that thing before the eulogy is read

Even if its just sitting in there hooked to nothing.

Just so i can claim victory

I will haunt the ever living sht out of you If you do that 😑😅👻👻


I want your license plate...
I really oughtta get those framed lol, or at least hang em on the wall. They've just been sitting in a box since I took them off because it makes me a sad panda 🐼 😔 I think enough time has probably passed now lol.

I'll manifest my ghastly energy in the form of a failed clutch fan the next time your 20 minutes from the closest toilet and about to have a mean case of the trots.

I uttered a curse word while changing the oil. Napa Gold oil filters are now proudly made in the Peoples Republic of China, a source of quality products recognized world wide.
I can get Wix from another supplier, and will do so next time. Open the box when you are in the store to see where the product actually came from.
Wix no longer produces filters for napa, haven't for over a year. O'Reilly still sells wix and the quality or country of origin hasn't seemed to change much since they were acquired by Mann filter

In all reality... I don't know how fast that truck will scoot along 🤔

The 2010 would do 100 with the wheeler on its flatbed.. needed to stick to 4th though. It'd top out at 80 in OD lol... but that truck had like.. 50% more whorespower.

Pretty sure I hit at least 90 in the 98 I had..

Once I have confidence in my brakes and that the front end isn't about to fall apart I'll do some testing 😋 and a functioning Seat belt..

...oh yeah suppose I should fix the speedo too lol

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

I buried the speedometer on the way out Wednesday. Tach (which is normally dead even with calculated vs speedo) was showing 3250RPM. In overdrive that comes out to 96.68MPH. Pretty good for a loaded (see: overloaded) 88.

Trying to get better organized. 3D printed organizers for all of the socket extensions, wobble extensions and even some of the random sockets I found in my old Craftsman set (star, 12pt, torx, etc)

The main blue and orange organizers were bought on Amazon. I'm thinking of replacing those with a more customized modular 3D set.

Fixed my dad's pressure washer as well.
