Idaho BS thread in the PNW

We have one of those here oddly enough....and a scuba shop in town. Explain that.

 

lakes.

lake diving is a thing, Like the reservoir outside of cody would be cool to dive. Small town at the bottom of the lake haha

granted..its also fridged cold so might not be so fun..

they do it in yellowstone in the firehole river too. Not the lake though. Way too cold for that.

 

Well shit. You know Wy has climbing up the wazzo haha


also..Just got hired to the job i wanted!! gonna make good money and spend all my time outside and a lot in the mountains in national parks!

 

Park county weed and pest control.

So i'll be spraying for weeds all day. But we mostly do gov land so up the south fork mountain area and beartooths and everywhere in between plus roads and other stuff.

Have to pack in weed spray packs and stuff. Im looking forward to it so much. Pays pretty dang good too. Outside all day and hard labor. My kind of gig.

Plus hours are 6am-4pm mon-thurs. So i have 3 day weekends every week. And lots of time in the evening to work on stuff. Or in my case, work a second job at the Gym again!

 

could be..idk.

Will want to do both at the same time..who knows.

 

there's still a chance people might back out of buying mine so yeah..

 

as in just recently or no more offers yet..

 

the guy that was first in line to buy just backed out and i havent got ahold of anyone else yet so yeah its in the air.

 

fuck 1/0 jesus!!!

re did all my wiring on my battery today along with an alternator upgrade.....

Battery to Starter 1/0
Battery to Alternator 1/0
Battery to Block Ground 1/0
Battery to Oil Can Ground 1/0
Head to Firewall Ground 1/0
Transmission to Transmission Tunnel 1/0

Now I have a Sequoia 150 amp alternator installed along with a smaller pulley will be north of 170 now! All I need now is my second battery tray, isolator and both my inline fuses to show up and Ill have everything happy happy happy

Also Ive secured a co-pilot for the end of may sooooooooo if work can get my shift covered I'm headed south

 

You should see the 1/0 wire I got in that group buy a while back. I measured it out and it's bigger than 4/0 wire! Seriously! Just over 1/2" diameter of wire plus 1/8" of insulation on both sides that make it just over 3/4" thick! Makes the nice 1/0 I have on the sound system in my car look small.

 

how would a regular 1/0 connector even fit than..... lol

the biggest pain for me was just trying to get it into the right places.....

 

Exactly! They even sent me regular 1/0 connectors with it and I am going to have to spread them open to fit the wire into it and them "crimp" it down on it.

 

id sneak to an auto supply shop and look at connectors first, honestly they are cheap, get the right ones... don't split them to fit.... the worst part is waiting for the torch to get everything up to temp to solder it all

 

Congrats Buddy.

 

Thanks man super stoked!

 

This summer is shaping up to be pretty interesting.

 

It's gonna be a hell of a lot more fun for me then last summer haha but bit poorer..still gonna be sweet
