I wanted to try something new. I think the QPR Permanent pavement repair stuff needed to be tapped allot more then I did. Then the Black Jack Crack-Stop Elastic crack filler would cost too much to use that product. So, I am trying Latexite Trowel Patch which was reasonably priced. It is brown when you open it.
I did not finish with one bucket but I think the results will be good.
Before I left it turned black in color.
Super coin jam. I am not sure if I ever had one this bad. $2.25! I know what you are thinking.
Someone left me some lawn chairs. How could the day get any better sleeping next to the dumpster?
It actually can get better if you can believe it. Five words: “Def Leppard” and “Instant Party Disc”.
Can you feel it? Can you feel the power from my ranch? There are 109 horses that live in there. This little car holds a lot of crap.
The internal configuration really lets you put about anything in there.
I kind of took today off, so did the customers.
I am surprised that this hose lasted so long, it was like this when I purchased it. The screw-in piece on the end of the boom cracked so it just hangs off the side. The third picture is how the hose goes through the boom. I did not have a hose that was 80″ so the hose it very long until I purchase a smaller hose.
I converted from the Coleman timer to the D/H timers that Greg sold me. The diagram for the D/S was terrible. Of course it was not “plug and wash”.
I had to drill more holes to mount the timer. I drilled three holes.
I fixed the latch for the lock and then I was done.
I never know where I am when I am driving and sometimes I get lost going home. So I purchased this Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS for my new car. I have a gps in my other car and it really helped me a lot. This gps is touch screen and is faster then my in car unit. The screen is small but it is very portable. The satellite pickup is excellent; probably better then my in car. It cost about 20% of my in car unit also.
Man this fab work is top notch. The bolts with the arrows (second picture) needed to be grinded down. Also the lip on the bar.
Now the lock actually fits! The only problem is the top of the lock. I should do something to make it look better?
Drilling into steel is a pain. Maybe that is why my crappy Skil drill gave up today? It overheated or something.
Greg posted a comment on my last Honda Fit post: “I thought you were cwguy? No self-respecting SS cwguy buys a car. You could have at least bought a Honda Ridegline. Only full serve owners are allowed to drive cars. It™s in the ICA rule book. Full serve also get to wear expensive Italian leather shoes. But most of them are gay, or at the least very effeminate.”
I like the comment but the car can get me to every car wash owners last resort (Home Depot) and unfortunately I go here too often. (Note to self do not wear Italian shoes around Greg. He might take away my Man card.)
