Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

So far I'm pretty happy with the V6 in my Impala, near 165k miles and not a single problem so far. Routine maintenance is all, but I did notice the last oil change at 5000 mile mark it was a tiny bit low but no concern. Maybe a quarter quart low.
I'm fairly certain this V6 is similar to what's put in the new midsize Colorado & GMC version.

 

Their 4cyl makes more power than the taco V6

If you don't tow and just have a family of 4 that needs the space and a few mountain bikes, etc in the bed, that's a perfect combo.

Same. Would be great for the rat race M-F.

 

Just rebuilt the carburetor on dads snowblower. St1032 ariens. Darn thing is enormous! Leaked fuel from carb when running and had a fluctuating idle. Last use was 3 years. Spent 6.00 for rebuild,4.00 bucks on spark plug and 8.00 bucks on new fuel shut off valve. Started her up and so smooth!!! BUT still leaked fuel after a while.... scratched my head some, removed bowl again to gain access to brass float which I just cleaned and shook it.... doh!! Had fuel in it... rookie mistake. Been a while since a full carb rebuild. 9.00 bucks for new float. At least I can say I don’t have a Chinese carb on it ;-) will be picking up new float tomorrow and then wrap that project up. Also changed oil, greased and filled tires. Getting ready for the next snow storm.... actually preventing this from happening !!

 

I just found out that my milk has a date for Valentine’s Day!
Good thing my wife doesn’t believe in this “holiday”, so good luck to all of you!

 

Lol I don’t believe in it either!! Let’s do away with such “event” and bring in Super Bowl holiday instead!

 

We never had the brain swabs on our campus, but I had one a while back that was the little swab, now we have to spit in a tube once a week. Super gross.

 

Thank you

 

Reading about all these COVID tests I have never had to have one but I have had a vein cauterized several times in my nostril. I wonder which is worse to have done?

edited because my question didn’t make sense.

 

You got my vote!

 

I hope to never find either out

 

Good morning friends!

 

Good morning!

 

That's great!

 

Morning all

 

Lube tube deburr time. Took a piece of 1/2” rod and slit the end, put it in drill, slid in some sandpaper and wahlaa.





Before....



After...

 

Good morning!

 

Good morning everybody. Got some pointy ampoules shipping out today, also testing out my new phone camera (I dropped my old phone in a bayou last weekend, major dumb ass moment).

 

Paige, no!

That looks awesome, David!

 

Great... my hidden winch bracket has been floating around Orlando all week, it appears that UPS tracking finally realized something is wrong and told me to come back tomorrow.
