"It still runs"

Sounds a lot like what happened to me. Whine and grenade is the double cardan joint letting go at the TC. I got lucky and had some wiring (repairable) and while the driveshaft kissed the trans, it didn't do damage to it. At some point you gotta make the decision whether or not it's worth throwing mo...

"There's my objective." https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-WSmRGsN/0/L/i-WSmRGsN-L.jpg Under the snow is a solid sheet of ice. Even with studs, once I'd lose momentum punching through a drift, sink down into the snow and get to that ice layer, forget about going forward again. Punched through one d...

I put in the one the local auto parts shop had that fit my pickup. :lol: Bought the new one from the store, hiked back to my truck, dropped it in (pulled the old one the previous night), drove to the hotel to grab my pack and check out, then over to the auto parts store to drop the core before I hea...

Alternator shit out coming home, fortunately made it to town just before it totally crapped out.

Did they give you a body cavity search? :lol: Flight out was 0530. Left the hotel 0400, coworker and I dumped the rental car and headed to the terminal. Coworker had a stack of sport cones in the truck that didn't fit in his bag without repacking everything, he asked if I had room for them. Sure, s...

Just wrapped up a week in SoCal teaching ATV/UTV safety. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-G6tzF79/0/L/i-G6tzF79-L.jpg Is that Lake Silverwood I see in the background of that picture? If it is, then you must have been on the Cleghorn trail (one of my favorites). Yup. Wish I was on a dirt bike/adv...

Is the rubber chicken a critical safety device? :lol: Yes :rofl: Turns out new climbers aren't very good at figuring out heights. I'll set working and backup lines, then have the students climb on hooks 15-20ft, set their work positioning and go hands-free, then climb back down. Cover the basics to...

Before you know it. There will be snow on the ground.

ugh... can't come soon enough. Summer sucks.

not sure i'd recommend punching a hole of that size through the seat mount... seems like a bad thing if it were to fail.
Clean job otherwise.

working all weekend
radio installs on a fleet of trucks

AC compressor clutch took a shit on me.

Road's closed for mud season. I have gate keys. Couple of hikers parked at the gate, "Are you opening this up for us?" No, you stay back here. :lockedandloaded: https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-5CC87MM/0/L/i-5CC87MM-L.jpg Open up the site gate, walkaround and make sure we're alone, open up the bu...

what a strange thread this has become

today

Buy a snowmobile. An expensive one. Ride it for a while. Like, hard. Race it for a couple seasons too. Eventually you'll wreck a bunch of parts. When you stab the track and ruin that, take it off and replace it. Keep the old one. Cut the old track apart and make it your mud flaps. That's what i'm do...

there's a PW down there

Work




.... "Work".

yeah it's not too bad. PW made it the 8hr drive, no issues. Nice to have the laptop stand, radio, stereo, etc back. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-QGsNd2Z/0/L/i-QGsNd2Z-L.jpg Got into Ouray a little later than I wanted, but not terribly late. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-pTP43SS/0/L/i-pT...
