Whatever

Got the gravel spread today. Luckily one load was enough to do what we needed.

 

Went to the bank. Not sure where this guy’s vehicle was. All 6 machines were empty as well.

 

Got some barb wire up to try and keep one of our goats from eating the neighbors trees. Two of them haven’t been touched and are luscious.

 

...noticed your Tokheim dispenser or pump recently.

 

Still in use too, about 400 gallons a day through them each.

 

Free ride the a fill up?

 

Sorry for the delay Jacob @FishnTx.

So here's my method. I'm using a heavy duty double face tape. There are cheaper versions but seriously, add up how much it costs to fill an entire headliner with patches then decide.

This

Some are thicker, thinner, flexible, rigid, heavier and yeah, some are light as a feather. However, I treated each one the same. I learned my lesson from last time. Do Not Scrimp On The Tape! Cover As Much Of Each Patch As Possible! Yeah, this takes forever but you'll be happier when you're done. I used a very small pair of sharp scissors which is key for all the nooks and crannies. I felt like it was better to cover to the edges and cut the little bit of excess off than cut it short and leave the edges able to peel off. Once that starts the whole thing will come off. For those few smaller patches, that fall into the very light category you really only need a single strip of tape.

Ok, so you remove the loop part and just leave the hook on the patch (if they came without anything that would look the best), and you apply the tape and using the little sharp scissors you cut around every nook and cranny to remove all excess. Now, go get your rolling pin, or a beer bottle, or something round and that won't break. Lay the patches on the clean surface (off of this can be done in the garage on a clean work bench, or your kitchen counter top, breakfast bar, etc.) and using the rolling pin or whatever, mash the tape into the hook. Yes, the larger, thinner more flexible patches will curl some but just flip them over and roll them again to flatten them out. I used this curling to my advantage on those extreme curved parts of the headliner.

Once you have them all smashed into the hook you're ready to start applying. Get a hair dryer or a heat gun (heat gun set to no higher than medium!). I would do this step even in the summer, unless it was 200 degrees out. Oh, you're gonna need a pair of tweezers. That tape backing is gonna be a bitch to get off now that you smushed them. I would take the tape backing off of the patch, and using the hair dryer, heat up the headliner, then the tape, then the headliner, then the tape. Then press the patch onto the headliner. Then I used the hair dryer to heat the patch up again. Then push it again.

Knock on wood, and doing this in a cold garage, I have not had a single patch fall or blow out the window! I also found that doing it this way allows me to adhere them to the moon roof panel. Now, I do open it manually very slow and there are some that kinda run but that is valuable space so I am using it.

I've also removed patches and using the heat gun, reheated the tape and those are still up. Not sure how many times this will work but if I have to, I will use more tape.

You mean like this ^^^^

 

Damn those goats did a number on those trees.

 

That would be boring.

 

It's good to have access to a dump truck.

This is real life.

 

No sir. My buddy hauled it and unfortunately I'm the lucky bastard that gets to spread it!
I think we were robbed tho, he told them 3 tons and that can't be much over 1 ton. Oh well, $30....and less to spread!

 

Yes. It was ok.

 

Well, I did see Johnny Depp as ST
