Hey Connecticut, our backs hurt

Morning all.
Meeting with a couple of realtors at the other house for a "market analysis",aka, see what I can get for it.
Goes on the market next and let the bidding war begin.
My turn now.

 

You got this....it will be very simple due to you having a 2023.....no issues with seized nuts.

 

even though, put anti-seize on the bolts during assembly

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Saturday.

 

Mowed my buddy's lawn, then did mine.

Gonna start mowing the other one I do as well in 2 weeks, when I go do my buddy's again.

 

Super easy.....just over 3 hours start to finish. An hour for alignment and road testing. Included in those times is a little bit of goofing off and joking around.







New leaf pack in the rear, old in the front

 

Cleaned the spilled coffee among other to do list stuff.

 

New machine.
It was a tossup between the Green or Yellow.
I went Yellow as there's a longtime dealer in Newtown I've dealt with in the past.
Still have my 42" Frankenstein mower at the other house. It'll come in handy at the new place as well.

 

Cut the back lawn this morning. Did the front Wednesday, so it's good until next weekend. Buuuut, still had the energy, so cut the front too. Now it's all on the same cut cycle.
Pulled the bed mat out of the Ridgeline - the mat is too heavy for the bed trunk lid to stay up on it's own. Gotta say trunk under the bed floor, pretty great thing.
Gave the Taco a tap, tap, tap as I walked by it - don't want it feeling ignored. We know what vehicles do when you ignore them. $$$
Spent the rest of the day cleaning up the parking spot I'm building. Even got the boulders moved I thought i was going to have to bury. Just needs a little longer.
Interesting - the dirt is actually flat & even with the driveway & the back edge is pretty much a straight edge - can't tell from the photo. The rocks really are as large as they look.

Anyone need a rasberry bush or some Rose of Sharon? They're in my way, so to me they're weeds.

 

Same one I have. Love it.

 

Bought a "Tub of Towels" on the way to work. Saw a 2024 Tacoma in the parking lot of Auto Zone.

Today I cleaned up the spilled coffee (using the Tub of Towels).
Removed the inverter, bed outlet and all the wiring. I'll need to find the part number of the grommet for the floor where the wiring went through.
Found that I want to get new bolts for the fire extinguisher mount (I'll stop by the hardware store tomorrow).
Cut off the clamps on the e-brake cable that weren't bolted to anything.
Added spacers to the clamps that are still there. Got the idea from looking at @crashngiggles e-brake cables (I need longer spacers and bolts).
Found out the source of two rattles that I have. One is a heat shield and the other is the R/R fender liner. Easy enough fixes. I couldn't get the nut loose on the heat shield so I hit it with some PB Blaster and I'll tackle it another day.
I had to remove the Passenger tail light to get the inverter harness out so I removed both tail lights, put anti-seize on the bolts and a small amount of lube on the pins of the lights.
I found a place to mount the unit for my remote start module. I'll have to fab up a bracket.

Cross stuff off the list and add more stuff.

Good night CT.

 

Morning all...

Happy mother's day to all the mothers out there.

I also need to figure out what to do with the stock suspension. I can't imagine there's a large market for it

 

Throw it up on the For Sale thread. I think 2nd Gen's get a slight lift out out of a 3rd gen's stock suspension. Can't be too many miles on your truck.

 

Do you have an hour meter on yours?
Mine does not, although I see a blank cutout on the dash.
Wonder if one of those cheesy ones from Amazon would work.

Sort of like this..

$18 Runleader LCD Digital Hour Meter,AC/DC 5V to 277V,Maintenance Reminder for Zero Turn Lawn Mower Tractor Generator Golf cart Scrubber Marine ATV Motor Compressor and Gas Powered Device

Yeah feel that's my only option, a very specific market lol. And I have just over 9500 miles

 

Good morning CT.
Nothing planned today. Just a nice relaxing time at home.

I have so many unneeded files on my computer for the truck. Going to sort through them and delete what I no longer need.

 

Someone will snatch it up. Try looking in the sale thread for what others charged as I have no clue.


Morning ct

 

Morning Connecticut

 

When I had the center console out there were two plugs that I installed and I forgot what they were for.
A quick check with the multi-meter and I remembered. They are for the extra two wires under the hood (future expansion?).
The connectors have Ignition, Ground and Illumination. All I need to do is add a https://www.ch4x4.com/ switch.

My Bissell upright also got delivered.
My old vacuum broke.

 

Morning everyone.

Happy Sunday, and happy Mother's Day to everyone's mom's.

Mrs is running a 5k this morning, followed by a drive to Stamford for the kiddo's game.

And it's also the kiddo's birthday.

Busy and fun day ahead, hopefully with a win!
