Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

Morning

 

I found out that this sheet is smooth on one side and textured on the other so I likely won't be using it but thank you everyone for the advice!

 

In case anyone is interested.. the 2024 looks pretty awesome to me

Id give it at least 2 years to work out the kinks.

I'm not sure how I feel about the new model Tacoma.
My first look at the engine bay on the hybrid model I would have to post one of 6.5's old favorite of Clint Eastwood look of disgust

 

Yeah, at least two years. I wouldn't want to take that hybrid engine on any serious off-roading out of concern for it breaking. I'm disappointed there is not an option for a V6 or even a V8. Just my humble opinion, but the PRO version should have a similar engine to what they are using in offroad racing, like in Baja. I doubt the racers are using a 4cyl hybrid for hauling ass across the desert.

 

i wish i would have been one of your kids. I was never allowed to be lazy. i was glad to have a roof and food .

No Daycare when i grew up . ( late 50`s early 60`s) Daycare was in the barn while Mom worked it did make crate training easier for me. School was the tax land owners paid that was always trickled down.

School meant not working i was dumb but loved being there. Sports were what other kids did.

The only collage level classes I saw were paid by employers in my twenties and thirties

There is no lazy when your a kid on a farm . By 10 years old it was sun up to sun down working in the fields i loved rain then i was in the shop no doubt being in the way those early years.

Then one has the normal every day chores morning and night feeding chickens and rabbits making sure they had water.

Lazy Overpaid Your kids never me.

 

Work rant. I was asked to draw up a kitchen plan for some apartments on campus. The current area is 6' x 7' and can't really be changed.

The range can't move because that's where the hood is ducted.

The sink can't move too much because that's where the supply and drain are located.

Maybe this is the 3 hours of sleep I got last night talking but the creative juices are absolutely not flowing for this one.



I didn't even bother trying to finish 2 and 3.

My personal favorite is option 4:



Get a skid steer in there and let them go to town.

 

X2 for # 4

 

I second #4.

 

#4

 

Evening guys, was an early start today and just never slowed down. Hope you all had a good day.

I think I’ll be doing some front end work on my old mower pretty soon, looks like my camber and toe are a bit off

 

#5 some gas and a match

 

Kindly bowlegged a lil bit.

 

Just a bit lol

 

Hows the grand babies?

 

I dug out the owners manual for my lawn mower and it had all the parts #'s like @RustyGreen mentioned. Looks like I can order all six spindle bearings for $20.00
I got to pondering if something could be wrong with the electric clutch but then thought no because the bog down stops when I disengage it. The bottom pulley on it doesn't turn very freely though. I didn't see any tube videos showing what it should be like.

 

Grand babies are both good, eating and putting on weight. Me and the Mrs. will go visit them on Monday.

 

great!

 

After only getting 3 hours of sleep 2 nights ago, I was able to sneak in a nap!

Unfortunately it was from 7pm to midnight so I'm awake when I shouldn't be again.
