How'd it go today?

[SeanKroll]

Damn, Stephen, I feel for you... one thing and another and another and...

 

[lxskllr]

Shitty time of year for car work also :^(

 

[Bodean]

Bum deal. Lot riding on it all.

 

[FireFighterZero]

What year diesel?

Might be injection related and not a serious mechanical problem.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Just threw 4 grand into that truck Jim. 1995 7.3. Rebuilt injectors, valve cover gaskets, wiring harnesses, sensors, glow plugs. Both computers sent out, tested and rebuilt. Been running great. Ran great Friday. Did not drive it Saturday. First start this morning all hell sounds broke loose. Need to pull the valve covers and see whats up. Sounds like on the passenger side.

Yah, mud and slush and cold.

Bum deal. Lot riding on it all.

Only vehicle for work I had running. Motor is still not back for the one ton.

 

[Burnham]

Sorry to hear it, Stephen. You just cannot seem to catch a break.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Seemingly.

 

[FireFighterZero]

Gawt damn son!

You sound like a farmer!


Haha!

Spotted a vehicle lurking around the neighboring property late last night, shining spotlight around backs of commercial buildings, etc.

Called the local sheriffs dispatch to ask if they had a car in the area. They said no but would send one to check things out.

Got a call from an officer about 5 minutes later, telling me it was him doing the lurking.

A little B&E on the side? 😂🤣

 

[pigwot]

Got our tree today. I need to go out to the shop and get a length of utility cord to properly hang the miniature Akimbo 🙂

 

[lxskllr]

Is that akimbo functional? Not for climbing I'm sure, but will it work as a mechanical hitch?

 

[Treeaddict]

Pat, where did that Akimbo come from? Material?

 

[pigwot]

Someone was 3D printing them. Pricey and it is mid-line attachable, but it is only quasi-functional (can’t adjust the bollards)

 

[lxskllr]

Things I saw today...

A bald eagle
A coyote
A hatracked oak that looked like it used to be a nice tree

Otherwise, not much. Some boundary work today, and I cleaned up a little wood around the house. I wanted to get kindling on the porch before the weather gets here tonight.

 

[Treeaddict]

Always makes me sad and angry to see a hat racked tree. 😡😩

 

[Fiddler]

Tried a couple tunes on the fiddle today. No dice...big pain
Looks like it's going to be at least another month or so.

Computer is acting up. keeps wanting to upgrade stuff & won't let me uninstall things. If she goes it will be summer before I can get another and I'm heard from again. Did I ever mention I hate Windows?

Not much else happening here.

Phone Dave?

 

[lxskllr]

I could send you a linux thumbdrive. Boot off of that and use it, and/or install over windows.

 

[Fiddler]

I'm super computer illiterate and short tempered with this stuff.
machine is ~22 years old.
Still running windows 7
I'm seriously thinking of running it until it dies and just swearing off using computers/internet anymore.
Might just be my curmudgeonly mood lately.
