PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Plus it’s OBD2, which means my mechanic will work on it and inspect it! My mechanic Pete will not do major work on pre-OBD2 American vehicles, just older Volvos and some other European cars. Joe, who works for Pete, used to be a Toyota tech and does work on some pre-OBD2 Toyotas. One regular customer owns a 1991 T4R and another brings in a 1970s FJ40. The will do rudimentary work on older vehicles like tires, and A/C work if the vehicle is new enough to use R134a, but they generally don’t work on vehicles older than 1995-1996. Joe is not a fan of Chrysler in the slightest, but when I told him the car was $800, he said to go for it!

 

Amanda and I went to A-Day, at Delaware Valley University, which is where I saw the red 2006 Tundra. It's always been a good time, with my favorite parts being the live animals and the blacksmith demonstrations. A local generator dealer was letting kids color on a brand new Kohler natural gas generator in order to attract potential customers (the parents of said children)...

 

I am embarrassed to say that this was my first time seeing the inside of a natural gas home generator up close...

 

There was also a sheep herding demonstration with owners of the sheep and the sheepdogs sheering their sheep onsite. The dog in the first picture is actually half Border Collie and not a working dog, but he was too cute not to take a picture of! More on the actual sheep herding later...

 

Pregnant cow!

 

A very vocal baby bull!

 

I've always loved seeing the blacksmiths in action!

 

Whenever I see an anvil, I always think of the Animaniacs or some other cartoon where individuals are frequently hit in the head with them...

 

"An Anvil's black and shiny, it's very heavy too, so watch out my chubby friend, or one might fall on you!"

 

"It's made of solid iron, it weighs a ton or two, we know you'd like to meet it, it wants to meet you too!"

Solid thoughts plus she owns the asset, it's worth something regardless. She gets zero from renting.
