geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Busy man you are, I like the way it's coming along though

 

Thanks man.

Definitely liking things so far man. Beats laying sod in the pouring rain.

 

Happy Birthday

 

Happy birthday!

 

Thanks y'all

 

Happy birthday sir!!! @geekhouse23 I will be making up a new batch of Jerky, I want me to ship you some?

 

Thanks man! Yeah. PM me and let me know how I can pay you.

 

No payment necessary.......consider it a birthday gift. It is going to take like a week to make then I am going to ship it out. You still live at the same address?

 

Happy Birthday, Bryan!

Have a great day!

Looks like you got a nice punching rig there. Hopefully you'll be hauling some slobs out of the grass this year!

 

Thanks assman. Excited to get out more and get on em.

 

I didn't realize you were so into fishing. Those gag grouper a few pages back had to have been fun!

 

So fun. We're hoping to get back out soon. Definitely enjoyed fishing for them and eating them.

 

Happy 25th Birthday!!

 

@geekhouse23
Happy birthday

 

Thanks

Thanks man

 

Small NTD:



Home Depot was out of stock the other night when I was trying to buy them with the mitre saw and track saw kit.

Forgot to mention that last week I got a new windshield put in after getting BEAMED with a giant rock. Fun times.

I think that's everything from the last post in March.

More house mods coming and hopefully truck mods. Need to empty some totes of parts that continue to collect dust.

 

It's been quite the birthday month. 10 days, 3 countries (one was twice), 2 new stamps in my passport, and a reset after the chaos of the last year. What an experience:




Quick updates..

House mods:
- slowing down; bigger projects planned but home feels where it should have been all along.
- flooring in the front living room is coming. Old flooring needs to come out and we need to prep the baseboards for installation.
- maintaining and upkeep of the property
- switching to interior mods mostly now that HOT (unofficial season) is upon us.
- will share as we go.

Garage mods:
- workbench shelf (need supplies)
- vise mount and new vise (need supplies and a vise)
- storage for husky bolt bins under workbench
- install better garage lighting
- mitre saw cart
- figure out what to do with 5 drawer cart after the mitre saw cart takes it's current home (mostly where to store when not in use)

Tacoma:
- gusseted spindles
- ECGS needle bearing replacement
- found someone local to do the work just need the time to get over there.
- rear frame plating and new crosse brace
- various other projects and cleaning up etc.
- need a grease gun.
- thinking of replacing the rear bumper with a non-swingout model. There is a local fabricator that's making a tube style bumper for 3rd gens that I like. If it can work with a 2nd gen (with some small modifications), I might go with that.

 

Forgot I rolled 75 almost 2 weeks ago:

 

Did some salt water fishing last weekend:



A couple of dinkers. Had a good time since we rented a center console and fished inshore. Bite wasn't really on because it was way too windy. Fun time at least and they crushed artificial.

Weekend goals:

1) Remove vinyl flooring in the front room for tile installation next week
2) work on workbench upgrades; need supplies and I want to try out my new mitre saw
3) remove 20" light bar and bench test; pretty sure it works and it's the switch that needs replacing.
4) bass fish some ponds

 

My light bar is dead too. I know its not the switch. I bought another cheapo, but this time 20" didnt mean 20". I have to find a 22" single row.
Not really at the top of my list because it doesn't need to work to pass inspection. I just feel like a poser because I have a bar there, but it doesn't work



2nd headache that I have, non truck related, is my stupid HOA tells me that my front door needs cleaned or repainted. OK fine, ill repaint. Asked for the color code so i can get paint - they respond with an Architectural form that needs 4 neighbors approvals. No, I don't need that, just give me the color code. They send another form and tell me that I need to fill it out even if Im just repainting the same color. Fuck HOAs
