Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

Un packed my bumper today... everything made it. Start this week. Get to cut some on the truck and then weldy weldy. Hardest part is going to be remaking the skidplate that we made a few years ago with this years crop...

 

That’s funny. Went to that place 25 years ago right before it changed hands and became Jalepeno Loco. A few years prior to that it was something else for a few years.

I figured that restaraunt wouldn’t last past a few years, and here we are lol. Was it decent? Must be, if it’s been around for that long!

 

It's a good Mexican restaurant. My brother, Bob, was a dishwasher there for awhile back when it was Ashley's

 

My calendars arrived today from @Pixeltim. Fantastic work, sir! Thanks for putting these together for us!

 

You are very welcome! I’m glad you like it!

 

My mom and sister visited a couple local WI museums yesterday and my sister shared some pictures. When I saw this one, I said damn, that's us 100 years ago!



Guy on the far left is James, mixing up the old fashioneds. Tim and Pat are making some food next to him. The rest of us are bullshitting around the fire. I'm the bearded guy. Jonathan has his brimmed hat on and the far right guy with the pipe is obviously Dave.

I think we need to be on the lookout for a time travel machine while on the winter run coming up...

 

I guess I need a different hat.

 

Know anyone looking for a tacoma?

There's a AC taco w/ fiberglass cap on the used lot at the ford dealer in Kenosha.

 

These straps get inserted through the cores of 2 (1600#) rolls of paper to prevent them from separating in transit.

Thinking about fabricating some limit straps out of them, somehow.

 

dont, just grab some regular limit straps. They’ll have the stretch factor listed and they’re cheap.

Well then, I'll find some other use for them. I hate seeing good things go to waste.

Thanks.

 

New poll on the event thread!

Just mentioning it here in case anyone else's notifications don't always show up.

 

Mine don't-can we complain to the moderator about that???

 

I would.

 

I didn't bust out the loop, or anything, but I'll have to say that is a fine quality print.
Does your digital need to lay down a primer, 1st?

Like, Dean said.
Thanks for putting it together.

 

USPS delivered (finally). Mighty fine (as usual)!

 

Did they fold, spindle and mutilate it?

 

They tried...but it was too well packaged!

 

Before I get too carried away with limit straps, I think the shackle flip is adjustable. (mount and hanger have 3 holes ea.)

If there's too much flex (yes I said it ) at the center position, would backing up the hanger to the last notch reduce it?
