Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Torque wrench on spark plugs, we need answers so cast your vote now

My wife and I got into one of those deep talks last night and I ask her if I was the only one she'd ever been with. She said yes, the rest were nine's and ten's

 

Bigger is better when building receiver hitch parts!

I always use 1/4" wall then I make a few extras .

 

SOG has treated me very well also I snapped the pliers off being stupid I admitted with the return .

They fixed it for free serviced the complete tool .

 

Just poor quality .

Then plastic and aluminum don`t expand at the same rate so after so many thermal cycles most times the plastic or the gasket fails

 

She settled!!

 

I know, I know....not the most reliable commuter vehicle no practical, but for a toy...meh
That's why she's leaning towards a Toyota car / crossover whatever. And I did look at near by inventory the other day and these Rav4 are showing a dealer adjustment price of additional $299.00
Better than the Mazda's $1,000.00 though

 

New car game is gonna be a shit show for a while now. Everyone says it will get better, but I'm very doubtful. If she can find one for just a little bit of markup it might be worth a shot just to go for it!

 

Now to figure out how I want to wire it and paint it.

 

That cable needs some love. Got the ol' rusty trombone thing going...

 

Moms a/c went out last night. Guy I work with put some freon in it this morning , but the unit is 15 years old. I told him to go ahead and replace it. He gave me the " friends and family " price of 4 grand.

 

We bought a RAV4 in 2021.They are nice cars and get good gas mileage.

 

Something odd going on here...
I had 4 XJ Cherokees with the 4.0 and added up put over 400k on them. All were purchased used.

I had 1 water pump fail, the coolant had been neglected for a long time, I replaced 2 radiators, one on the same Jeep.

 

Pretty good deal . I told him I'd help him install it.

 

I'd say that's a pretty good price nowdays, I paid 4 grand for mine about 15 years ago. It's a 3 ton.

 

2 ton a/c unit and a gas furnace.

 

We have an old man that comes by and takes our scrap. We don't even fool with it.

 

Yes sir.

 

We did for awhile , but his wife didn't like all that junk sitting around.
