Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Just know that there are some of us totally interested in these things if you ever choose to share more!

 

I didn’t think any of you gave a fuck about an old grumpy old school master tech..

LOL…..

 

Well now you know better!

 

We were supposed to go to a wedding today for one of my wife's coworkers. My wife decided to use a new lotion and she had some kind of reaction to it - sweating, a bit of a rash, sinuses were congested. She got back in the shower to wash it off then took some Benadryl and decided we weren't going.

So I showered for nothing and need to go mow since it's only 85 right now instead of 94 tomorrow.

 

Oh crap.
Better check the ingredients…

 

They are not going to believe these are the same balls.

 

I looked at them but it all read like "high triglycerides" and "anodized unobtanium".

 

Well, IMHO.
The other lotions are ok so just observe those ingredients. That’s all you can do. My DIL is allergic to some stuff too.
Not fun…

 

What a day!!! I just woke up from a nice nap!!!
I thought I wore out my kiddos. More like they wore me out!!!! lol

Crappie fishing was great. It was a little on the windy side, but the captain found them hanging in the channel. Got off the lake by 11:30am with a nice bag a fillets.
Then took the kiddos to a public gun range to shoot the 22lr, thankfully the range was empty so we had it all to our selves.
Followed up by my favorite sandwich from a Tavern in the town I used to work in.

An awesome day in my book!!!

 

Siri/Bixby can type while you’re telling the story, just the thought

 

Are those Greek? They ought to sell Americans’ product with English descriptions and labels.

 

Fun, fun, fun

 

Smart!
You got out before you were buried in it.

 

I’m a low key fanatic when it comes to this type of stuff. One of the many reasons I when back to school to get my MechTech degree.
I’ve been studying all things automotive since high school. When all my kids are a lot older and I have time, I’m going to design and fab something radical. I’m talking from every aspect! Suspension, Powertrain, Chassis, Body design. I’ve got so many ideas in my head that one day will formulate into a great creation. Think AWD - 1200Hp - Miata Size - Viper/Corvette look - and AMG/Porshe handling. Probably 75% custom fab and reverse engineered.


This Guy does computer renderings and probably come close to expressing my artistic vision and feeling in cars. Just imagine something like this Boosted pushing 1200hp AWD, but actually being able to control and handle it on a track!!!!

 

Nice crappie!

 

Some of us have tremendous respect for a certain grumpy old school master tech.



Just what I have read here you have done some really cool things along the way!

Anything you have time to share we are glad to listen.

 

I hope the wife feels better quick.

IMO any wedding you don't have to go to is a good one...

 

Awesome ideas.
I had plans too.
I got so burned out I said forget it…
I really don’t like working on my own car now.

 

The 240Z is one of my favorites - if they made a new version I would have to go down with the checkbook!!!!

Spoiler: Payment calculator

...and loiter about the showroom getting the stink eye from the salesmen until I left.

 

Re: Phil's dreams of a customized car -
There's a redneck genius in the hills of North Carolina that I see at a thanksgiving car show with an S2000 with the 6.2 supercharged 650hp ls that is in 2016+ zl1 camaros that I'm just amazed at this little tiny car and how much power it makes. Hes not super nice, just matter of fact, I asked if he's done a pass down a strip and he says don't need to it's the fastest thing around here. I asked what he had to do to make it fit, he's just kinda like aww shucks just kinda went crazy on the gear tunnel with a mini sledge and eventually it fit.
