Pretending to be a plumber day two is just as much fun as yesterday. lots of stopping and waiting for parts to cool. I'm also desoldering and reusing what I can since 1 inch copper is expensive. I also took apart the brass threaded fittings, cleaned them and soldered them since I dont have a need to unscrew them. Less of a chance of them leaking as well.

I'm a little more than half done but its getting hot in the garage.

 

The Tacoma's battery was replaced 2 yrs ago by Autoclub with another one of their batteries . Last year I had it serviced at a Toyota dealership and they tested the battery it was at 75% charge


The Camaro has always had Optima Red tops but the last two batteries lasted only 3 years ea .The current Red top is having issues with starting like it doesn't have enough amps

It is charged weekly with a battery Tender plus 12v-1.25amp ( designed for AGM batteries)

 

Like
These.. lol

I have 4 at the house and like 25 at the shop.




They start 3000 hp cars with one battery so a good 800 to 1000 cca battery with good cables
And the correct ignition lead should crank right up.
If not you can always put a hand crank on it..

Odyssey’s are fine..

'Crap' for the tire

 

Why I hate doing plumbing work!

:toyota: Hmmm? Jury still out.

 

Saw that.

Sun hugging a Toyota symbol?

 

What a great day!

I could use a 4th but don't really need one. Ruger GP100 and a pair of S&W's.



Do miss my Dan Wesson, should have never got rid of it.

Chipmunks have caused a lot of damage around here, and red squirrels. They don't get a pass from me for any reason. Ironically after years of living for deer hunting now I shoot them from the deck. With a camera.

Caught this one right after mama dropped it 2 years ago



Now I don't have to drag the damn things out of the woods after I shoot them

 

evening all!!!

need more pieces/parts for Annie's wheel chair.... gotta go to Lowe's after work

 

Happy Monday Morning All if there is such a thing
Sorry I missed your Birthday @Tacoma Mike. Hope it was a special day for you
@MTgirl Nice looking rig. The dealer ever deal with the shit show they out you thru?
The rest of ya. Hope All has been good.

 

Still not quite done with the plumbing project. I couldn't get the threads on either end of the UV light to stop heavy dripping. It must be the difference between the stainless threads and the copper. I used multiple turns of the pink teflon tape and T to 2 but it kept leaking. Any more torque and I might bust it.

I let it run long enough for my wife to catch up on dishes and for both of us to get a shower. I shut it down and drained it before any damage to the wall from the spray. I looked it up and it's no problem to solder copper to stainless steel so I will clean out the threads and solder it like I did with the brass threaded fittings.

I was just too wiped out to finish it tonight. I fell asleep on the couch and woke up at 2am. It will be worth it at the end.

 

Good morning all

 

Good morning everyone.

 

I would give my eye teeth to have back some of the revolvers ive bought and sold in my younger days. gave each boy a good one when they moved out. only rule was never sell it.

 

Good Morning All heavy T-storms last night. sunny with a chance of t- storms this afternoon.

 

Morning
My long week ahead of me...

Another tech has put in his notice..

The problem is these techs can do skilled warranty work.
So that just hurts the rest of us for the good jobs that come through.

Grass is not greener on the other side however not having to work late nights or
weekends is sure a big incentive to give it a shot...

Everyone be safe.

 

Morning everybody,

Have a wonderful Monday!

Idiot. Was out this last week dealing with kidney stones. All good now. Show up 230 this morning and my kenworth is gone. Paperwork gone. Look at schedule, wondering why two other guys running my routes this week. Look at vacation schedule, DAMMIT! Thought vacation was next week! Scampered the hell out of there before a supe showed up with a "since you're here..."
