This is what happens when you load all your heavy steel on the right and all your empty cardboard packaging on the left. ...and try to make the yellow light to turn left. (I had to make the light, myself [7 second light] so I couldn't get any closer pics]

I do love me some Bill. His storytelling ability is unmatched! *** Had this roll in today. A driver pulled into a customers lot and...his wheels fell off.  I'm not really sure why our field tech didn't grab the hub and tires, since he had an impact to disassemble the rims. He left the tires/drum in the customer's parking lot until tomorrow. [I think he was just cold.]  Our driver traveled 22 miles this way, back to HQ, with our tech in tow.

You must be some sort of...'psy-cat'.. eh? *nudge nudge* Anyone? No? Hrm. Yeah. My guy didn't pick them up today. "Tomorrow!", he says.

I recently bought a '93 Ranger (since buffed out and shinier): "I just had it tuned up!", he says.  It started misfiring today so I pulled a plug - expecting a coolant soaked electrode. This is what I found (thankfully):  I've read some info on several sites that say that the AWSF-32PP plug is no longer relevant? I'm going to go down to my local parts shoppe for some Autolites. Does anyone have a better suggestion? (Granted, it IS just a 2.3L 5sp Ranger). Should I just buy a crate 302?  Just wet myself.[Edit: checks pocket lint for extra cash...then remembers he has half a million in one of his mutual funds...] [[Edited Edit: The photo sucks worse than I thought. I'll have to re-shoot later]] [[[Edit Edit Edit: Yeah, the Gran Torino would look like this if it was done up right. I'm working on it - after the Ranger tune up. Just gotta clear out some space in the garage.]]] [[[[Edit the fourth: Anyone need a natural gas garage furnace? I got one that's just sitting here taking up space. Not sure if it works but, my dad brought it here after my great grandfather passed. It worked in his garage]]]] Mahnarch fucked around with this message at 10:39 on Jan 8, 2012 |

I ended up getting the Autolite single plats., along with a new timing belt and tensioner it runs quite swell, now. I also remember why I got out of the garage so many years ago. My poor knees and back... Eight plugs and Timing belt = 2 hours. I guess I still got it.

I'll find myself in Grand Rapids tomorrow... Then it's north to Newaygo. Whenever I leave Michigan, I end up in Chicago or Goshen. If you were to travel all the way here, I'd just give it to you (no guarantee on workage, though). It doesn't look that old, either. Grandpa passed in 2004 and it's been here since.

kastein posted:hmmmm. Closest I get to any of those is NYC. It would appear that the halfway point betwixt here and there is Rochester, NY. That's if I were to travel through Canada... ...I don't go through Canada. Erie, PA if I went down around the straights. But, that's too much of a drive to give away something for nothing (unless you have a hot, single sister, or something!).  [Edit] I have a friend that lives in Bradford, PA that I could mooch off of for a few days if I took the furnace in my Cessna. But, I can't fit a 3x3x3' furnace through a 2x3' cargo door.  Z98 to KBFD = 2:45 hours.

Guilty as charged! If you're going to go 'Experimental', it's best to start from scratch. That way you know what's what and how come. If you want something cheap, buy a Cessna C140. They can be had for as cheap as $13k to $20k. They're slow and old but, hey, you can't beat the price! My driver's license looks like a 4 Star General's uniform. O*, CDL**, A***, B****, CY***** - plus my PPL******, ASEL******* is a separate license. *Operators **Commercial Driver's License ***Articulating (Semi/Tractor Trailer) ****Whatever 'B' stands for (Extra duty straight truck/Chauffeur). *****Cycle Endorsement. ******Private Pilot *******Airplane, Single Engine, Land [Edit] OH, Snaps! I just looked up 3B0. It's almost an exact replica of Z98. 2/20 runways. 699ft msl compared to 740 here. Runways about 500ft longer. No tower. I would feel at home there.
