Greetings from Waikiki

 

jesus thats impressive.. my plan is to have a small 3D printer (desktop) and now a homemade CNC machine! lol

 

for sure. I'm sure we'll all be in touch.

 

My old boss made one, he was a genius, built the Knight Rider car, and a 2nd one for himself!
His cnc ran a router, and a plasma cutter.
He also made a vacuum molding machine, did sheets 3/16"x 4'x4'.

 

Ron with the jet bike he made V

 

I am. I'll probably pick up the parts & oil from sdhq this weekend, unless you guys know of a better place to get everything. How long do you think it will take?

Whatever is easier. I can at least meet up half way. Let's put together a game plan

 

Don't forget the lower shock bearings when grabbing parts for the rebuild. Like I said, that's the only thing wrong with them, but fresh oil and seals isn't a bad idea either. I got your PayPal by the way and will let you know as soon as they come off. Should be the week after next some time at the earliest.

 

Sdhq is a good place to get everything. Once you give me the shocks it will just take a few hours. I still need to get a new nitrogen gauge, and I'm move in a couple weeks so I may be pretty busy till the end of July.

 

I've done the "loop" a handful of times. Could you share the pins for those camping sites? I usually just pull off on a dirt road and find someplace. I need some epic spots for special occasions.

There's no need to change a thing! Life is ever changing, and as you grow in maturity and responsibility, you realize your family is more important than anything and you, sometimes without even realizing it, chuck the reckless living and mature.

No need to worry, cause at some point when you're old like me, you get to revert back to the 20's mentality!!!!

 

@Techoma for pimp of the year

 

I have broken 2 no loss chucks, the copper ring inside goes to crap and won't seal. I bought the Fox one this time hoping it will last longer

 

That's the one that I just broke, the fox one. Same shit as the other ones

 

Same thing happen? I wish they made that copper ring replaceable

 

I believe they make the part. I want to say it was on kartek or something. I think it was $50 so may as well just grab a new one.

 

On a new body weight only workout plan?

 

Good. More things I can show the wife. "See, honey, it could be worse...."

 

This first one is between Bryce and Zion, right outside Mt Carmel Junction, on the way to Zion. Overlooks My Carmel, and has almost full 360 views. It was an awesome find at 10pm, starving and tired from hiking Bryce.

Pics of camp..

This was taken at 9:11pm. It didn't get dark on that ridge until 10pm.

10pm. Right on the edge.

The next morning




We even took our first showers since getting our setup. it was very refreshing and freeing. Lol

The spot as seen from the main trail. Turn right off the trail, drive up to the edge, and there ya go.


Second spot is outside of Rockville, just West of Zion. This spot was amazing. The Smithsonian Butte byway was a great fun drive in. It was even kinda nasty in some places. 4wd may be required, depending on conditions and if pulling a trailer. It was steep, filled with loose rock, and off camber washed out sections. Once up on top, the area has a ton of trails and camping spots, one was recommended in particular, (thanks Ryan @RPS1030) head West on Gooseberry Mesa. It will be off on the right. Be sure to get the right trail.. there are a few out there. We got in around 9pm, couldn't see the views, what we climbed, etc and came to section i had to get out and walk to make sure we could clear it and it continued on to the edge. The section wasn't too bad. Some height is required, maybe 4wd depending on conditions and pulling a trailer. It lead to a very remote spot with fantastic views. We could tell it was a nice spot even at night. The moon lit up the scenery just enough, but we couldn't see far. The next morning was amazing.

Holy Geezus!!! Pretty sweet! Thanks!

 

One lady told me late last week... this is kind of a constellation prize for the misery you were put through. I thought it was an interesting perspective.... so I held my trophy for her to shine!

 

of course! gave me an excuse to do a write up. lol
