Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Rant::::

Having my morning coffee and watching the local news, Green Bay.
I am getting sick and tired of hearing the weather forecast every 7 minutes. But what really gets me is hearing this nonstop Heat Index. This "feels like temperature." What a load of crap! The heat feels different to everyone.
It's freaking August.
Before yesterday, Fond du Lac had only 2 days above 90°. That's according to the official reporting station.
It's freaking August.

It's freaking August.

It's freaking August


The same thing happens in the winter. The freaking windchill.
If you don't like the windchill, don't stand in the wind.
It's freaking winter.

Rant over,,,,,for now

 

It's freakin hot!

It's Freakin HOT!

IT"S FREAKIN HOT!



But did you die?

 

I mean, like it's not hot right now, but it damned sure will be in an hour.

 

So, if it's hot and the wind is blowing is there a wind chill?

If it's cold and humid is there a cold index and does it feel warmer?

Maybe I should buy a T.V. station. That way I can write the script that the actors read.

Turn off the oven and close the door.
There, problem solved.

 

The Mrs. mentioned that the outside of the house needed a cleaning. I started at 8:00 and got the back finished by 10:00. Started to get a bit steamy so I stopped. I'll finish tomorrow.

 

You sure picked a good day for it!

 

Anyone ever bent .125 aluminum without a brake?
For $150 (unavailable) a guy could make this cubby compressor mount for less than $50.
0.125" x 24" x 24", 5052-H32 Aluminum Sheet, Mill Finish w/PVC https://a.co/d/0d3xu1i

 

and put the holes on spec for mounting compressor and set holes to mount to truck/thread them?

 

precisely

 

Isnt it cheaper to order from Expedition Essentials?

Perhaps, but they are sold out.

 

You did notice that it's unavailable, and has been so for a while?

 

Yes, but figure it was because they are on vacation

did not know it has been for awhile..

 

That's the one from the pic I posted.
No, it wouldn't be cheaper otherwise, I wouldn't consider making one.
It's just a bent pc of metal with some screw holes.

 

I have...but smaller stuff. If I were to do more, I'd make some form of die to use my press. That would make the bends cleaner, more precise and more accurate.

 

A good score. Do the majority bends with the grain....a little heat, if needed. It's doable.

I might have access to a press just have to double check.
It's possible there's one at work.

 

The holes for the truck will be easy to drill and viair compressors need different holes drilled in bottom panel for mounting.

 

Update: I had issues with the Jeep this morning, go figure

It wouldn't engage gears outside of park, likely due to an issue with the hybrid computers. Just made angry robot noises and I had to restart a few times.

 

Operating system by Microsoft?

 

Eh, I heard that was normal.
