Mornin Everyone !!!

Currently 1011hrs 84° clear skies and high temp of 99° today

Im still tired from yesterday even though I slept 13 hrs !!!!!

 

They make a turbo for the Kubota and lol tell your friends to look under the accelerator ..bolt assembly .. limited. Buddy of mine has the big 4 seater with bed . Not a speed demon but torque out ying yang compared to the yamahas we had on base. Bit things change so no idea . On the yamahas now.

It is hard to get them coyotes and cats to turn a bolt without opposable thumbs....

 

All I can say is when I take over the homestead up home two things will happen . The tractor will have a cab on it with heat and AC ! And there will be a rtv 1000 Kubota with can etc and attachments in one of the out building's just saying lol. The Polaris 4 wheeler can go live else where solid machine but long in the tooth well well kept but my shoulder does not like horsing the steering around on it at all !.

That heat will sap you pretty good. About the best thing I've found is at least one good balanced meal a day. Mine is usually dinner. I stay away from sports drinks all together. They make me thirstier and make me sweat even more. I try to get in at least half a bottle of water before I leave the house then I'll drink my cup of coffee on the way to the field or maybe an iced tea, but it's water after that all day and lots of it. An apple, a banana and jerky are my usual snacks I grab along the way.

 

On Tuesday the first day of working on the garage I got dehydrated , I could tell as my mouth was very dry . I drank a lot of water but more than likely not enough

Tuesday night after I got home I continued drinking a bottle of water every hour and the next morning I felt better . Wednday I made sure to eat a couple bananas prior to leaving my place and during the day kept drinking water every hour and making sure to take breaks in the shade and also have lunch

I felt much better yesterday but after I got home i fell asleep on the couch

Come to think about it , my dehydration was caused by me taking Naproxen 500mg for my knee inflammation , it's known to cause dehydration

On Wednesday I didn't take those anti inflammatory meds and wasn't dehydrated

 

Thanks for sharing Chuck. This is good information.

 

Well don't forego any meds, just take them into account and adjust fluid intake. Everybody has different dietary needs and what I mentioned above it primarily when I'm just operating with not much labor/physical activity. When I know I'll be more physically active I'll throw in a breakfast sandwich. I really like Belvita crackers. 2 of those in the mornings is usually enough to get me to lunch (there are 4 crackers in a packet). You just need to find what you need without starving or putting you to sleep.

 

A high pitched whine?

 

Both days for breakfast was (2) bowls of cereal and a banana along with a LG glass of orange juice

For lunch both days was a crispy chicken sandwich


The Naproxen 500mg I'm taking , there's many cases of dehydration listed among the side effects , some severe

I've had issues with this med before and have stopped using it and my doctor only prescribes a 2 month dosage

 

5 more min of lunch.

now where did those lines go ??
Aaaaa heck, makes no difference. Lol

 

Yep, of course! She lost the strap clip off of these so I had to take one of another pair so she could have these.

It was quite active here on the lake last night. Earplugs for me and and some soft, classical music for the dogs. They weren't overly excited. Just whined a little.

 

Ok, power steering question. 2002 Tacoma. What is the rubber underneath this clamp for/called? Friend's truck and it is pouring fluid.

 

good to see it still around, but, it wasn't from just me. Twas a group effort!!! We're all super happy for the great outcome!!!!

evening all

 

what to y'all think about this rack? I am not entirely sure if they are made at this Victoria shop, or if this a West Can rack, but this is the look I'm going for I like that the brackets on this one are quite long. One shop told me they attach to the sliding cleat rail, I wonder how strong that track is? http://allseasonsautoracks.com/headache-racks-victoria-bc/ at least this is on a truck like mine, for an idea of the look

 

Oh I know it was everybody but I figured you’d get a kick out of it being there still..

 

Steering rack bushing
But looks like a rack replacement too

 

...funny part it was at 107 when I started out and just got hotter. It's usually the other way around.

 

I got an old school headache rack with horizontal visor strips

 

I did some digging since I posted. So it's a clamp and bushing that is just holding the rack. I saw the fluid poor out there on each side and not the fitting. So, did the rack just spring a leak?
