Keystone State Thread

Unfortunately there's no way of getting to the drain tube unless ypu pull the whole sunroof out. The tube run through the a pillar. I already have the a pillar plastics off. Or I can just get a sheet of metal cut it to the dimensions of said sunroof and weld it in. But for a 25yr old car tape will do just fine till I get it on the road and bring it to my brothers hous3 and use his compressor. And once again it's too cold for my liking to work on the car. Came outside and instantly changed my mind lol.

 

Although I might put it up on Jack stands today and pull the wheels. Soak everything with pb and get some work done on it tomorrow after the interview.

 

Pull the edge of the headliner down and you should be able to see the sunroofs drain hoses where they connect to the ripples on the assembly. Tape works good too. LOL

As far as being too cold, I'm in the same boat, I have 2.5 weeks before my knee surgery and have so much stuff to get done before that happens but it's been cold and I hate working on vehicles in the cold. Cold steel tools and my hands don't mesh well together with my arthritis even with gloves on. When it hits above high 40's- low 50's I'm good but when it's this cold my joints hate me. The high winds we've had lately just make it that much worse. I'll still work outside because that's what I do but handling freezing cold tools sucks.

I'm going to go out in a couple hours to reinstall the Daystar cradles with the longer carriage bolts I bought for the bigger lift leafsprings. Probably change out the swaybar bushings and swaybar endlinks as well.

 

Happy late morning all
Loving week days in the 40’s and weekends in the low 30’s the older I GET THE MORE I HATE THE COLD.
I have tons of things I’d like to be doing out side but it’s so nice and warm inside .

 

I just cut boards to put the jack stands on so it doesn't sink into the driveway. With the top of the motor off I can't drive it out of the spot it's in. So I'm waiting for my father to show up to help me push it 3feet forward.

 

I feel like it's always like that. Could be nice during the week and than the weekend comes and makes everybody miserable with crap weather

 

Our 08 acura rdx(Honda crv) had the sunroof leaking before. When I opened all the way I could see the front drains clearly and shot some compressed air down there but the rears I could barely see and had to rig up some tubing to make a extension for air. Then I cleaned and waxed the gutter area around all the drains then I put so.e silicone paste on the sunroof seal , I guess Vaseline would work but knock on wood hasn't leaked since. GL.

 

Made some progress on the car. It's up on stands now. Glad I ordered all new brakes for it. Cuz these bad boys are shot.

 

And I'm done with the car today crushed my thumb and pointer finger when the bolt finally broke loose. So I just sprayed everything down with pb and let it soak till after my interview tomorrow.

 

Ouch.

 

Yea wasn't a good feeling. Took a chunk of skin out of my thumb. I said screw I'm done for the Day lol. Funny thing is 3 out of the calipers had 14mm bolts and of course getting to the last one had 2 12mm bolts. Gotta love Hondas man. Especially in the hands of idiots. I mean it works but what the hell. I remember when buying this car the kid saying it needs a muffler and he's right it's completely missing 1 but... the other one is completely rusted off.

 

Dual exhaust!

 

I looked up underneath was going to buy a newish exhaust from the cat back. Looks like it was already mistreated. They cut the flang off and just welded new pipe onto it. And it looks like shit.

 

Solid day today despite the cold… met up with a buddy and went for some early Trout.

Snagged both our limits pretty quick and was gifted 3 extra from another fellow, which, after a quick picture we headed home to clean up, so crossed off learning how to clean and fillet my own fish!

Now chores and a nap

 

Welp first mow of the season got done. Weeded the flower beds and burned off the burn pile. That's the extent of my weekend

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians and Othertuckystatians!!!

 

Good morning PA.

 

If anyone is wondering why beef prices are so expensive, cattle prices are way up.

Most beef plants are operating at a loss right now. If anyone is making money it's not us.

Off to murder inc.

 

Do you know the reason for the increase in cattle prices? The feed? The transport? A combination?

 

There aren't any. Herd sizes are at like a 1960s level due to drought out west. We're also losing dairies in the country at an alarming rate due to low milk prices and high feed prices.
