Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Four wheeler, tractor light, and drilling some holes in angle. Got to get started on cutting some tubing so I can weld that together too. How about yourself?

 

Light should be simple, got to go get a bulb.

 

Poured some gas in the four wheeler (try before you pry) and it ran out of the carb as fast as I could put it in. The cutoff is also leaking at the tank, got to order one of those.

 

I like that the priorities are at the top of the list!
I’m working on quoting jobs we don’t have the capacity to even work into our schedule. I guess it’s a good problem to have!

 

Good morning crew. Not sure what I'm going to do today. Creed's 4 wheeler project reminds me of the dirt bike project I could go back to. I bought a replacement head and carb to try. I put a new ring on the piston and it fired right off but didn't run good.
I need to search and try to find a room to rent in Buckeye Arizona for when I go there to work, end of month.

 

Yep, that's here too. Some complain, I can appreciate job security.

 

My to do list is simple today.

Hurricane, bumper boats, lunch, glow in the dark mini golf, Hurricane, lazy river, and supper.

Sounded like we were going to go check out Top Secret Attraction. It's probably as horrible as it sounds. And looks:



Off camera to the right is a T-rex coming through the wall of the White House. Yeah, this is gonna be stupid. Can't wait.

 

Oh come on! That sounds fun! It's been several years ago but we took a summer vacation with kids and stopped at a Schlitterbahn Water Park in Texas, then on to Mustang Island for a few days at the beach. The kids loved it, we all did...except for mosquitoes the size of Apache Helicopters at the beach motel..

 

That Top Secret Attraction, looks a lot like “Wonder Works” lots of gimmicky science-ish illustrations and whatnot. Still a neat place to check out. I preferred the science center to it, lol
One thing’s for sure, you win the best plans for the day so far!

 

Has anyone figured out a way to clean Weathertech floor mats? I've got gray ones in the Tacoma and the mud stains won't come out. I haven't tried the pressure washer yet, that's my last option.

Zep Purple Industrial Degreaser mixed 1:1, a stiff nylon brush, and pressure washer. Always works for me. If they still look a little worn you might have to hit it with a coat of something like CarPro Perl. A little spendy, but you can use it on all kinds of vinyl, leather, etc.

 

I'll have to give that cleaning method a try on those floor mats. The stuff I regularly use called Tuff Stuff, it works in some applications but yeah, not there.
My plan first up today is shorten those rock rails at rear tire. I'd hate to chew up a brand new tire(s) something I know could be a issue. Plan to do Broken Arrow in Sedona while I'm down there, a few other places too. The stairs at Broken Arrow look like more a challenge now than 20 years ago.

If they're really dirty/hammed you can get a brush that attaches to a drill. Usually medium stiffness is enough to work. Detailing is somewhat of a hobby for me...

 

I'm planning a little vacation after my work out of town. As far as family vacation I'm not sure yet, we usually do something and the last 2 years was a camp n off road event. The wife and kids enjoy the ocean.
Where's a good place to visit ocean in the Carolinas? I ask because that's where my daughter might finish schooling.

 

WTF is a vacation? I usually just stay home. I have no gumption to travel anymore after 3 years of traveling all over PA working for a company that did industrial maintenance. The roll-over accident on the PA Turnpike really did me in...

 

Outer banks is pretty cool. Especially around the Wright Brothers museum.
