Wisconsin area events, Tigerton next!!!

In the summer between middle school and high school a good friend of mine was halping another friend fix something under a car. The car fell on him. He died.
I take that shit pretty seriously.

 

I do my tires this way. But not my oil.

 

I'm really sorry to hear about this! I've heard of this type of thing happening, and it's scary to think about.

 

I could, but ..... nope!! I need to do an oil change and tire rotate before I leave. I'll probably drop them off at @Pixeltim on my way to Alaska.

 

Get yourself one of these!

What could possibly go wrong?

 

Mine work fine.

 

TBH, the base looks to be as wide as jack stands. So if you're on flat concrete, I don't see them going anywhere.

The only problem I see is how they limit access under the vehicle.

 

I'm sure it's all fine and stuff. But unless there is a way to lock that scissors part once up, I'd be wary of just trusting the hydraulics.

 

I looked at those once. They have a triangulated mechanical locks. They’re a neat tool, good for suspension work, rotations etc. As long as you have a space that let’s you lift that high. That made my decision to not get them easy lol

 

the quick jacks have 2 locking positions. the hydraulics are only for lifting and lowering.

 

3 members and beer, so I think it's an official TWWI event! Or does it have to rain too?

Rock and roll nerds at Turner Hall for some geezers known as Gang of Four. They are rockin'!

 

Looks like the makings of an album cover!

 

While you guys are having fun I'm at work watching The Water Boy on YouTube.
Doing alot of

 

My son got sick at his track meet yesterday so I think today's adventure is off the table.......

Those jackwagons in the bad advice thread got me going on this fishing thing.
Bought my license and a trout stamp last night.
Might go take a few early morning casts, instead.

 

I'm enjoying my Arbuckles while watching geese in the pond.
Coffee was made with bottled water. Part of the cost of a new well pump and pressure tank 3 weeks was a water test.
We got the results back Thursday.
Our water taste great and doesn't smell. Arsenic is almost 5× the allowable limit.
I informed my Dr's and had blood drawn yesterday to check for heavy metals and I have to do a 24hr pee collection, they gave me a nice jug for that.
Wednesday a guy from Culligan is coming over to show us options for removing Arsenic.

I wonder if this explains why I have trouble listening to @pearing giving me driving instructions.

Coffee tastes better with well water.
Just saw the geese doing it.

 

Btw im in for tigerton, did we make an event page?

 

Fire engines carry a lot of it... usually on the sides.. shhhh and the side compartments dont lock

 

This is the event page.

 

Must be the arsenic...
