Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

doesn't paint a very good picture for me..nope not interested.

 

What's the fun in that?

 

Drove the Rubicon to work the last couple days. $40.00 in fuel for two days, my car is about half as much.

 

Adam! Just say no to that one, you could be scarred for life. I had a friend one time was with a partner that gave him more than what he bargain for. Some kind of warts, I didn't ask him for a look-see but could only imagine it wasn't good.

 

But then again it might -- better not enjoy too hard.

I struck out finding an exhaust gasket in town but they have one for me Monday. Couple of parts stores had other exhaust gasket for it but not the one I needed. Give that penetrant more time to work it's magic.

 

Get nut and bolt hardware too

 

Yeah. I wish that thought was sooner. I may call them shortly and see if they can get those too.
I wonder if these studs are spline type? Thinking they must be spline like a wheel stud for assembly purposes. Worst case scenario I can grab some 3/8" bolts from hardware store and use those.

 

Yea if they snap then you have something..

 

Well, ain't this just about a p-i-a... The power went off at 6:42, still in the dark. Takes out the water pump too, adventures in rural living.

It isn't the least bit windy, wonder if someone hit a pole.

 

we had a power outagge the other day no wind, sunny day

 

I live in the back corner of beyond on top of a mountain. The power is really reliable especially considering where I am.

I was in town most of the day, the lights "sagged" twice but didn't go off. The CO-OP outage map says 35 out of 675 customers out, 35 = my entire hill.

 

Maybe squirrels

 

FTFY

 

Years ago I heard a giant BOOM and the power went off, I investigated and found a violently dead squirrel below my transformer (each house has a transformer out here). The squirrel had bridged the hot and neutral poles on the 7200 volt side and blew the fuse on the pole -- blew the squirrel too...


The funny part is there had been an unusual amount - dozens of squirrels that year ripping around the yard and driving my Boarder Collie nuts, the day after the electrocution they were all gone.

Remember the Presto Hot Dogger? You stuck them on the prongs and plugged it in. Product liability wasn't such a big industry back then.

 

Saw a raven do the same thing as i was pulling in parking lot.

 

@Taco critter I’m sticking with the lime green theme

 

Saw this tree blocked off and in quarantine today at some shops, turns out a duck is sitting on her nest.
