You could put a mud flap on the fender to block everything

Truck related surprise!
Reinstalled the NV4500 in the 72 today after its rebuild. Came in afterwards and realized I left the phone in the shed so I ran back out to grab it and found a 5 foot black snake guarding the work bench. Good laugh for us that live in the country.

So much for romance.

You guys needed one of these

She would have still complained. She was good at it... She had lot's of practice.

I sold my Jeep today.

Thinning down the herd. I never drove it. Now I'm down to 6 vehicles not counting my motorhome.

You know a buyer is serious when they show up with a trailer and cash. And no B.S.

The guy asked me if I was a rock star or something.

I'm not kidding. He really did.

He's obviously never heard me play.

Got the Dodge differential done yesterday . Not an easy job wrestling a 11.5 AAM on the ground by yourself . The rear I put in looked like new down to the rotors . But I test drove it and had a terrible shimmy when I hit the brakes . Ended up being the rotor but I changed out the axle . Think they bent it taking it out so if the dropped it hard enough to bend it didn't trust the axle either.

Okay, I was just confused how dropping a full float could bend the axle shaft?

I've definitely thought about it! Several times.....

Wife had the day off so I took the day off as well. We hiked to a waterfall we have never been to before, went to the gun range for a bit and then had lunch. After lunch we played a round of golf. Tired but it was a good day.

The door's always open and the beer is always cold.

The only drawback is that you will have to listen to my dumb jokes.

Dats Purty!

Gave the wheels on my F150 a good polishing.

**Steeveedee** · 05-02-2021, 11:15 PM

Picked up a knee scooter to ease the pressure off my post-surgical foot. Stitches come out Thursday. $50 off CL, barely used. Now I need to paint some flames on it so it'll go fast.

**FleetsidePaul** · 05-03-2021, 12:05 AM

What did I do today?

I thought about cleaning the surface rust on my truck. Didn't do it.

I thought about working on my Packard. Didn't do that either.

I thought about cleaning my garage..Eh..No.

I thought about making my wife a really nice dinner. Then I ordered a pizza.

Then I thought about taking a nap...That one worked.

Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish. Was going to use it with their powerball but I wasn't paying $27 for it, so I bought "polishing" cloth and did it by hand.

72c20customcamper · 05-07-2021, 05:13 PM

Found my valve noise on the 496 in my Chevelle #6 exhaust valve lock nut was loose causing the adjuster to back off . Only thing that stopped it from coming off it hit the valve cover. Cam looked perfect so I adjusted all the valves started her and no more clacking. Little strange as the motor was broke in on a dyno ran flawlessly.

67C10Step · 05-07-2021, 05:40 PM

Was troubleshooting the salt cell on my swimming pool as I thought the flow switch was out. Installed a new switch but still not showing flow. In my further troubleshooting there were some sparks involved and now the cell is dead. Oh well, I had checked it and it was at 80%+ life expended so I came in an ordered a new one. Was just hoping to put that off until later in the summer. They only last 4-5 years and this was was on year 5.
