Hey Connecticut, our backs hurt

Currently folded up in the back with the rails next to it. The rail clips are in a box.

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Friday eve.

 

Morning Connecticut
Hammonassett is on the agenda for next week but the weather not looking great

 

Good morning CT. Happy Friday eve.
Wake after work then I think I'm going to start working on getting my computer back together, it's been apart too long.

 

Thirsty Thursday!

I was starting to plan this as a summer trip in the miata, but then I quickly remembered my top leaks and I am not replacing it this year. So no multi day trips unless I know for sure there is no rain. So it is back to the drawing board for summer road trip plans! Maybe just keep it simpler and do a week in upstate NY with a bunch of hiking and camping.

 

Zombie Apocalypse skies once again.

 

I think the air coming out of my exhaust is cleaner than the air going in

 

You can watch it get worse as the morning progresses.

 

Kiddo's soccer practice later already got canceled.

Wife's kindergarten class trip to Beardsley Zoo tomorrow also canceled already.

It's rough out there.

 

I show up to my friends house to go to the wake and guess who’s late?

 

Today I made a phone holder based on the A pillar mod. So far it works great. I still need to run a charge cable but that will happen another day. It took longer to get the angle just right than it does to assemble the mounting stuff. Using the "elbow" mounting arm let me get it into the perfect spot far away from the turn signal with the perfect viewing angle. The sail panel is the only thing being blocked. No windshield blockage at all.

I got a 70mm M6-1.00 machine screw w/ large Phillips head. This bolt is fully threaded instead of the original bolt shown in the mod. I placed a lock washer inside the top of the ball mount and ran the screw through that and a lock washer at the bottom. These were tightened together with the first nut with wrench and screwdriver. By tightening down each nut with the previous lock washer as I built out helps keep everything firm with no chance of the ball mount rotating once the bolt is threaded into the A pillar.

Using the 70mm threaded screw let's you build the length easily by adding more washer and nuts. I first did this with 3 nuts but I decided It was to close to the turn signal if I got the perfect viewing angle. The factory hole has more than enough space to take in any excess bolt.

Nice! Just plan another weekend, bring duct tape and garbage bags maybe or avoid heavy rain and park in a garage for any storms. Had mapped a few route alternatives myself to ride down from SW CT, still not sure my ass could handle that much riding and i'm sure you'll have a stiff neck driving a miata for 30 hours.

 

he must be ignoring me
Not even a no thanks or a fuk off!?!


Ah well, TGIF CT!

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Friday.

 

Happy Friday.

 

Morning all

 

Morning Connecticut

 

Come in this morning and the motor for my overhead door caught fire overnight. Extinguisher powder everywhere.

 

What I saw coming home from the wake.

 

Trying to find a connector.
