hoverlover’s “there are many like it, but this one is mine” extra long title bs thread and build too

Probably should change the name of my build to strictly bs for a few reasons...

1. Building season for me is over
2. I didnt do hardly any of the building myself
3. It's for the good of the colony

Don't want people thinking there's actually useful stuff in there

​

 

Nothing much. Waiting on fender clips to reinstall my fender flares

 

For the colony!

Like a fire ant.

You going with the pocket style flares?

 

I ordered mine on Amazon yesterday and arrived today and new fender liner things.

 

Nah, factory ones trimmed. It looks cleaner, I think.

Mine are showing to arrive today by 9 pm, but the tracking is showing them having left Kentucky this morning at 7:25

 

I’m excited to see how they look!

 

Me, too

 

I like the factory trimmed flares better myself. Are you going to cut the middle out of them and plastic-weld them back together?

 

Not sure. I do want to figure out some bracing once they're trimmed all the way

 

Did you keep any of the tabs on the inner fender?

 

Only in the rear

 

I think it should be ok. My fenders are only being held on by 3, maybe 4 clips each. The tires keep trying to eat them. If you trim them so the tires don't rub too much and get the majority of the little clips in there I don't see why it wouldn't work for you. Do you need any replacement clips? I have about 85 left.

Hey Chad
Better day today?

 

Most definitely, thank you for asking! 12.5hr work day. Dropped off my pedal bike at the shop for a 1x12 setup and some other stuff. Then went for a run around the lake!

How you today brotha? I had one beer left in the fridge and man does it taste good rn lol.

 

I'm good on clips. I already ordered a bunch and they'll be delivered in the next 24

 

Hell yeah 12.5 hours on the clock is bad ass! Sounds like a pretty decent day, dunno about all that running stuff though... Something chasing you?



The day started off good with that River survey about 730 but went to shit about noon and progressively got more and more frustrating. Nothing big, just lots and lots of little things that kept adding up. And still adding up. Just cracking the first beer.

 

Shit yeah, I love my job even though it's a total PITA about 80% of the time and I don't make much mula.

Nothing chasing me just trying to get my mind body and soul right for once in my life (all 3 together ain't ever happened for me before, feels amazing to say the least)

What's a river survey entitle for you? Sounds right up my alley

 

Just saw your post in the SA thread, that's cray.

 

I hear ya. My job has a lot of hidden stress and a lot more goes on behind the scenes than you can imagine. And the pay sucks. But, for the most part, I love what I do so is it really work?

lol I know mang, just pulling your leg. My knees hurt just reading the "R" word! Kidding aside, I know how running can be super relaxing. And it can bring a lot of clarity when you've got problems to deal with. Good vibes sent your way, bud.

I flew mostly sideways with four doors off all down the SA River so some guys from the River Authority could inspect it for that crazy algae, illegal dumping, illegal dams, illegal anything. They really cared about the river and it's health. It was cool listening to the two of them talk about it.

And a huge plus to take one of my more advanced students up to see how I do work.
