Almost 10 hours of sleep. Almost forgot how great that feels

 

The best way to go imo, based on all the random shit I do it get a set of metric for like $20 on Amazon which will go from real small up to about

$13 m12x1.25 mm self-locking nylon insert hex lock nuts, pack of 6

m12x1.25 I think. I use these for cleaning threads mainly.

Then get a set of NPT pipe taps w bits unless you have a large drill bit collection. If so, get a 1/8-1/2 set. 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 is all you will need as a 1/2 npt us like 3/4 od.

Def get a 1/4 npt bottom tap as well. Very useful.

I’ve used Irwin, bosch and American drill (Amazon). They all seem to work the same.

 

Might be an early celebration, I cannot leave her at the house. Over the last three day I've tried multiple things to make her comfortable but ultimately she has some of the worst separation anxiety I've ever seen. I went out to the shop last night and left her in the house and she went insane, I was worried she'd hurt herself. She needs a 24/7 owner, and with me working for schools I can't make that happen.

 

Toyota WHY

wire coming off of coolant temp sensor is yellow with green stripe. I have 2 unconnected wires coming off the harness near the relay box but they are blue with white strip and black with yellow stripe. Spent all morning looking at wiring diagrams online and I think I'm OK if the heat gauge doesn't work for now lol

 

I did not commit murder last night

 

I adopted a like that too for all of 2 days. I went to work and she started pawing a hole through whatever she happened to be inside. No idea how to fix it without another person or animal around to slowly give them more alone time.

sucks

 

Fuck, that must be stressful for you and her both

@Kwikvette

Dunno about your metal supplier, but the one here offers a bunch of prefab items like plates gussets and even decorative items. Reasonable prices and a huge time saver. Worth keeping an eye out for when you’re shopping

 

I got over my fear of the magic smoke and connected each to ground to see if the temp gauge would move. I think I'm gonna have to add an aftermarket gauge lol

This is neat, I could monitor steering pump and block temp

 

If you're expecting more electrical gremlins, something like this sounds handy. Actual usage starts at 3:40.

But how many gremlins can there be in a truck that only has a dozen wires. Right?

 

Back when I used to volunteer photo work for my agent's pet adoption agency, they would tell people there was a general 3/3/3 standard with adoption. 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to learn your routine and 3 months to feel 'at home'. Of course it's just a generalization, and 3 months is a long time when you're dealing with that kind of extreme separation anxiety. I hope she starts to feel better soon

 

Even the tool truck tap and die sets are made by Hanson. So Irwin is pretty much good as it gets till you go indistrial for tungsten shit

 

The shoes really tie it together

 

Haven't been on TW much recently but I'm looking at replacing my LBJ's, has there been much talk about the Anonymous Fab uniball LBJ's? Like have people been using them?
