    I...I think this chapter 7 gas tank skid is spent...it might last the winter maybe two, but, I think she's pretty toast.

    Found two in my toolbox that work. Going tomorrow to buy some stainless hardware. Snapped every bolt that was holding the skid plate up.

    We will see how motivated I am to pressure wash, sand, paint it and bolt this bitch back up. Ill send it for now I guess, but I need some of the UHMW in my life!

    I hate days like that. Usually being a bum and a decent night's sleep and I feel better the next day. Or I'll crank some music and start cleaning, that helps too.

    LOUD music that is. I love getting my home theater bumping. My dog looks at me like I'm crazy.

    If you feel like trying to salvage it. Knock off the chunks with this. Then hit the whole thing with a wire brush. Then just some rusty metal primer and paint and she'll be good as new.

    (didn't see this post until Rob commented on it)
