Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

I used the grey Right Stuff for the oil pan on my Tacoma worked out well

Have done a couple VW pans with Permatex Red. Works great, no leaks.

 

[Haywire]

Yeah, it's probably best to go with what Lee or Sean the real mechanics use, instead of the hippie wrenching on junk VW buses out in the yard.

I saw one of the brand new ones at a dealer in Columbus OH, looked a bit odd, but 20yrs from now it will probably be all the rage lol.

Looking good!
Took the ole crown vic out a couple days ago, also took the excursion out. That being said, I'm guessing there will be at least one more.snow/salting event yet this yr.

You talking to me

Matt gets it honest(the lacking of (replying to a specific post) .

Bark is not right for honey locust; plus no spears (thorrns)

There are thornless locust too.
Much like the antlerless bear .

Well, now I have a conundrum. Stopped at my dealer to get parts for the CS400 I'm fixing up with my oldest son.

I made a comment that he should throw in the new 462 sitting there. He said he'd make me a helluva deal. I asked him how good. He looks on the computer and says, "How about $800 out the door PHO?"

I had to leave quickly because CAD kicked in hard. After thinking about it I think I should buy it, sell the MS460 and have the 462 ported.

What say you?

I don't get it.

I dare you to tell my wife(CPA, CMA, CFM) that. Plus I'm of german descent and live in WI. Lots of us still haven't spent our baptism money!

Wait, you guys get paid for your baptisms, I had to pay for mine .

I did a thing...View attachment 1249733$832 out the door. I think this will be the one to go under the knife.

Okay, way to be a man! .
You got my number if she's too mad .

Real nice!

Some may disagree but I think jumbo perch are the best tasting non-salmonid freshwater fish out there. More or less walleye but sweeter.

I'm not a some, one of my favorites too.
Bummer is, I don't have it very often.

So, the other day I posted the 3 small buckets the boy and I added to the woodshed. After he quit on me(had a school meeting), the wife and I got 6 more.

 

[chipper1]

The woodshed looked much better, now we have enough for a month or so in there .

I think there's a few more buckets of rounds left in the round pile.

Think I am going to set my Bronco up to be my dad rig, riding my daughter around in my beater Corolla does not seem as cool as a beater bronco, plus that will give me an excuse to put some money into it and make it a better driver than it already is, things like a nice radio, new dash pad and carpet etc. I am planning to put a set of Tahoe 3rd row seats in the back to gain the shoulder belts for when she is in a booster, but the stock bench and lap works for the rear facing for now.

It needs a set of tires, I am stuck picking between these 2, I am leaning towards the one on the right

It is a '98. I bought it when I wrecked my squarebody years ago cause I needed something to drive while I fixed it. The tail of that one that you see is an old Civic wagon that was my buddies. I got this bronco, another bullnose that had been rolled, an aero nose bronco, 63.5 galaxie 500, Ford 390 engine, and several loads of scrap for $1500 from that same buddies neighbor's estate when he passed.

I am way west of the Hampton Roads area.

 

[MustangMike]

390 Ford engine ... one of my favorites. You could make them run really strong if you knew what you were doing, and you could beat the snot out of them, and they just kept on running!

Those are good cars.
I had a 86 honda hatch, also had a 95 hatch, lots of two doors, and plenty of coupes, oh also 3 of the first gen mini vans(the 4dr hatchback version), currently have an 08 odyssey. I like Japanese rides .
Beautiful area for sure. May make a run down that way to buy a ride this summer, we'll see.

I stopped by the neighbor's house today on my way home. He was cutting up what looked to be a big maple. He would then add it to a big bonfire he had going.
I said, "Hey, you know I could put that wood there to good use in my furnace."
He said, "The tree is dead that's why I'm cutting it up and burning it."
"Yes, I know the tree was dead. It was dead before you bought the place." (He only moved in three years ago.)
"Yeah, I know it was dead when I purchased the place. I just don't want to give it away."
"Why not? You're just burning it and I could actually use it."
"Well, it had bugs in it and I don't think it's safe."
At that point I said "okay" and left. I could tell I wasn't going to get it. But I'm not really sure why he wouldn't part with it to somebody who could use it. But the way, I looked at it, and the bug tunnels were old. There were/are not any bugs currently living in it.
