    That's great pictures. My first truck had that style of front axle. I forget what it was exactly but 3/4T 1969 Chevy.
    Oh happy humpday all.
    I've got some training to get done today.
    Will find time to make a spacer to fit in the alternator bracket of project car though.
    Valve team also has requested some type of tool they'd like to have fabricated.

    I hated them dam things. I’d start one then they would pull me to do a drivability diag on
    a white and tan Camry or something. I’d always tell them it’s a bad move.
    I was right…
    They do sure look purdy when new though..

    That’s why I like my old stretch springs. Has a safety cable running through it. Can change one in about 10 min. Those “revolvers”, not so much. Lol

    Good morning, all.

    One of the numerous things I've been tasked with doing lately.

    Looking at, and taking a picture of, every transformer on campus and noting if it's overly tilted or leaking.

    For reference, this one is fine.

    20220913_125812.jpg

    The plan we have for where they're all located from the power company is at best a suggestion but I'm getting it figured out.

    I've made it through 57 of the roughly 100 transformers.

    On the plus side, I can sneak my way into places like this while I'm wandering.

    That's the outdoor practice field so no fans.

    There's also the indoor part That's still under construction.

    20220909_145328.jpg

    This is where the locker rooms, weight room, recruiting room, etc. go. Still no games so no spectator seating.

    Home games are played in the Fargodome.
