Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

That's not good when they haul the dozer in.

A couple years ago they hauled one in about 1/2 a mile from our house. They keep it over an hour away. In all my years as a volunteer fireman I never saw them bring it to our neck of the woods.

Where they brought it, it was super hilly and windy that day. Luckily they got it out without any structure damage.

Y'all be safe!!!

 

Fire danger has been very high here a few days. Dry grass and winds. I being a smoker (yuck and expensive dirty habit, I know) keep a small bottle w/water in my car...no ashtrays...thanks to all youdo gooder non smokers...just kidding. Wife has been free of them for 8 years.

 

Both my trucks have an ashtray and I use them..................to keep change in

 

New poll thanks to @tacotoe

 

Seems like many newer vehicles don't come with a ashtray though. I see it as some kind of option before though. Probably no more than my bottle

 

My wife's Suburban doesn't have one. I bought an old 4 door Chevrolet Lumina a few years ago to flip and it had one on each rear door.

 

None in either Tacoma, or Jeep or Impala

 

Lol, interesting to see results of poll.
I have to go build a couple of clamps today for valve team. These clamps are. Nothing fancy, get those knocked out then I can get some training done for my trip to another plant.

 

To be honest I would need to go look !

When I was young I tried it once said you need to be crazy to smoke never again.

Never was tempted again none of my friends did back in my younger days .

 

7/8-14 thread and 1" hole.

 

That is nice but my pin is 1 1/8" and I think the head (whatever it's called) would be too big to fit in some of my implements. I appreciate the offer though

 

Winch works, wound the cable back in. Lights work and the engine turns over

 

Got it right this time

 

Went and picked up a battery for the tractor and the four wheeler. When I sat the old one down I found the date code. G=7th letter of the alphabet so it’s July of 2015 is when it was made. The four wheeler battery cost half what the big one was. The new ones have C21 which is March of 2021.

 

Just cut these grips off, they remind me of burnt marshmallows.

 

I always liked Oury grips on my dirt machines. I just googled they still make them but they look a little different.

 

BMS Pacman?

 

I can remember exactly who was the peer pressure when I started, I was about 13 guess. Older neighbor guy I kind of looked up to. Stupid, stupid thing to start smoking. I've quit a couple of times over the years...even as long as 18 months. It's a tough addiction.

 

I have a friend who smoked, did drugs, and drank like a fish. He quit them all years ago. He said the hardest of the 3 to quit was smoking.
