    A little something every chance we get.
    Morning Kevin
    Morning Scott - "Firewood King!"
    Morning Robert

    :pccoffee: Good Morning SA! Still got stuff to finish from the list, mostly greenhouse and plant related. Did get a lot done though. How about some gas grill mods? Sure, why not!

    Had two issues I wanted to address.
    1. I wanted to change out the grease cup from the stupid swingy cup that spills it all over the tank below it every time I roll it 1 foot out to use it.
    2. I wanted to get the tank out from under the grease spills, so that I can actually turn the gas off between use.

    Swingy cup. Yep, I have a spare. (Now I have two!)

    Modified to hold the same disposable drip pan I use for the Masterbuilt Gravity. Disposable! :yes:

    Rounded up some 2x4 and 1x4 scrap, and made a base for the tank. Got a new extension hose with a gauge from Amazon. Now, I can reach the cutoff.

    I did other equally ridiculous stuff too. Maybe, more on that kind of thing later! Have a great First Friday!

    Hey outside people's I have a question. Is there a good bird repellent? I got birds pooping over everything and might end up getting an airsoft gun or something.

    If it's because they are hanging out on something you can "armor", bird spikes. No, try bright and shiny 3d printed ribbon that moves in the wind to keep them away. I have done both, and about as effective as you can get short of the gun. Have the cheapest plastic BB gun too, but haven't used that in a long time.

    I've used the shiny ribbon stuff before, seemed to work okay. Drove me nuts always seeing it everywhere though :rofl:

    I’m thinking about this too. Maybe just the pads. Or Do you guys thing the Green Stuff from EBC is overkill?

    Make sure when you installed them to haul ass and lock the brakes up so they seat properly. Drilled and spotted rotors are odd lol. Working great for me now though!

    I think these are perfect price point, just a nice upgrade, I'm sure the EBC are good too, just more :spending:, but all depends how you drive your rig too :notsure:

    Pulled the trigger on a hood decal. Probably going to set it more off set to the driver side of the hood. Predator ( 1987 original film ) is my fav!

    Well, CRAP.



    And that's not crap, and it's not a well either.
