Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Sorry to hear about grandmother. 92 a pretty good long time. If grandfather still with us, hope he will do ok.

 

Sorry for your loss, condolences.

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

Condolences that’s a trip

 

Morning all
Next batch of bacon smoking

 

Thanks all. It was expected as her health was in the decline. My wife and kids got a good last visit in a little over a month ago while she was still herself. So we’re thankful for that.
Her grandfather is 94 and is not doing so well either. He’s a WWII vet and has a lot of great stories that have fortunately been well documented.

 

Yeah, sorry for grandfather.
A guy I helped change a lawnmower belt last week, his mother passed then father just gave up. They were married a very long time also. His father quit eating after wife passed away

 

You take the old radiator out, you put the new radiator in, you take the new radiator out, because the shroud bolt holes are punched 1/4 inch off, sound like the hokey pokey...but not as much fun....
Break time, must eat something

 

I find beverages in brown bottles help to reduce the pain.

 

Except then you won't be able to drive to the parts store 5 more times...

 

Exactly... send the missus.

 

Well at that point I'm screwed. Single (and ready to mingle) FTW (or FTL depending on how you look at it)

 

Saw this with my grandparents..though my grandpa was 93 when my grandma died.

Breaking it sounds like fun

Nah..it's how you look at it yourself. Some people are happier one way versus the other, and there's good and bad to both.

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

Careful!!!

I got it whooped finally.....I think....

Also lesson learned; because I had to take the radiator back out of the vehicle, I ran the shroud bolts in the stamped holes while it was out. Much easier than getting the first one that would line up started from blank. I used air ratchet to run a bolt in and my die grinder to massage the shroud bolts.
Edit; massage the shroud hole....not the bolt.
Oh boy....he said shroud hole

 

Calling it a day. Radiator replaced, new serpentine belt while in there, motor oil and rear differential oil changed on wifes Tacoma. Wound new string on weed eater in there, wife mowed and did all yard work today. Now relax, going for pizza. Think I'm going to stream A Quiet Place 2

 

Oh!! Forgot to mention I diagnosed the charging system malfunction on my quad!
The voltage regulator is toast! It's a 2005, I wonder if they just go bad? Suzuki King Quad 700. Going to online shop see what they cost

 

Decent movie, saw it in theater.

I saw the Forever Purge last night

 

I used to work at a dealership and sold those when they were new. I loved those things. If it’s still going and not burning oil due to the air filter issue I’d put a reg in it and hammer down!

 

That all depends on your consumption rate and tolerance.
