50+ thread

I have several old automotive tools I had to look up what they were for from my grandfathers tools ( Buick mech for 40 years) I keep them in case I ever buy another pre 70s car lol.

Ya. Funny enough, I decided to look and I don't have any on the truck. Gonna ask the boss about that one.
So, for those wondering, they are called caging bolts and they are used to cage the brake can (manually release the brakes) on a vehicle equipped with air brakes when there is a malfunction and the brakes set and you can't release them.

 

Air brake spring release tool, or head-taker-off if not used correctly....

 

Just realize while viewing the thread that it is Labor weekend...
So excited to have a 3 day weekend, unless I have to go to work...

 

Good morning everyone,49* outside, brrr. Might have to turn the furnace on, wtf. Have a good one.

 

Morning all, the heat/humidity took it out of me yesterday, i had to skip the gym this morning...now I am worried that it was too easy of a decision.

I paid for Amazon prime for a year. I found the best price on my mud tires on Amazon and got them shipped for free, about $300 savings.

My old high school team name was warriors, they changed it 20 years ago to be PC. I understand Indians and redskins, but warriors? That's like knights or conquistadors

Hope you don't work. How is NO dealing with the storm? Pumps keeping up?

 

I only drove through 2 major cities on vacation and that was more than enough. This small town really has me spoiled with little to no traffic jams and just being layed back (or is that laid back....is one of those reciprocal?).

 

Good Morning (round two)

I just about had that word flushed from my brain.

Jimi
Wow, that's a great shot! Thanks Brother, Happy Friday back at ya!

Good Answer.

Jim, you too.
46* in my backyard this morning ... still feels nice out. ... until the wind hits.

 

I've been keeping an eye on the weather (even though they're wrong 50% of the time), as I usually do. And this forecast has changed several times except for that big wind spike...I have no idea what comes with it but it may be pretty interesting.

Good morning sir.

If you're headed this direction and that spike hits the Phoenix area, could mean a bit of dust for you.

Edit. Nope, it's more local.

 

Good morning all. Today is opening day of Wi. goose hunting, so I was sitting on my front deck having my coffee and watching some hunters across the road shooting geese. Now waiting for wife to come home so we can go up north to visit her parents. Nothing like a 4 hour drive with a noisy dog in back seat

 

Could be a trip with the dog and a noisey wife in the backseat...

Safe travels. Long weekends make for a lot of traffic.

 

Can't do shit here.
No gas!

 

My wife said one of the stations on Hood is out too...hopefully they'll bump.up deliveries for the area.

I don't know what it's like here today.

 

Mornin everyone and Happy TGIF !!

 

We just did the hunt for gas. One place had it but line is about 4 blocks long. No guarantee there'll be any after long wait. Took me about 40 minutes waiting last night.

 

Hopefully soon you'll find gas and fill up your truck and gas cans

 

Yea
I did have 2 plastic cans with me. One had a couple gallons in it which I put in truck. Now have 75%.
Cans should be here later
