PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

We're only here until Tuesday and my cousin has her Highlander; I wanted to bring my truck but there's no need...

 

Maine is turning into California...

 

Re: those two pics of the huge holes a few back: My sister-in-law's Sequoia had holes like that in the frame. At least three of them. .Two right at the upturn ahead of the rear axle. Not sure of the year but I'm thinking maybe 2008-2010? It was amazing that it could still stand. Low mileage and immaculate condition otherwise. When she told me she was getting a new frame and I went out to look at it I was shocked.

 

Those holes are really good hide a key spots.

 

Nice

 

Finally remembered to snap a pic of that fan, thing must weigh 25 pounds. Thinking the base is weighted as its an oscillating fan, someday l will restore it.

 

Another example of the clueless.
Polyethylene bags are made from ethane gas which must be removed from natural gas. If it's not made into polyethylene or ethanol it's burned off.
One use bags are sequestering carbon. Plastic from the US does not end up in the ocean. 95% of the plastic in the ocean is from Asia and India.
So plastic bag bans are more stupid virtue signaling that's actually damaging the environment according to the people who ban them.
If ethanol in gas is good it could be made from the ethane in natural gas, but legally it must be made from corn, which is a net energy loss. Note that Iowa has a lot of corn farmers and an important presidential primary.

 

...and Fiat's too

 

Or Smart Cars...

 

Niiice..I have a couple of them. Always up for another

 

Does the fan work?

 

Good question as I never plugged it in, just stuck it up on the shelf figuring I would restore it some day.

 

Plug it in and find out!

 

I really dont feel like pulling that thing down off the top shelf again though, lol.

 

Looks like it is Pre-1950's fan, called a GE Vortalex.

 

Do it!

 

Or run an extension cord

 

I got it wedged up on a top shelf behind the garage door track with a bunch of other stuff blocking it. I probably spent 20 minutes today just trying to get it down from there to take a picture so I am not even sure I could get it to stand upright and an extension run to it.

 

Ahhhh. Can relate, we've been playing Tetris a lot lately. My brother in law's parents went to an assisted living early this year, more recently his dad passed away. Slowly cleaning out stuff is he and his sister's project, which I'm helping with at least in terms of moving stuff.
