Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

What did you do to your Car today?

That's the wrong way to start a bon fire lol. I have a propane torch and I light that up and it shoots flames 5-10 feet and that starts fires really nice.

This is a fire from earlier this year that I had.

That's pretty cool, I've always enjoyed the clearing out brush then burning it process lol. I could never make trails at my uncles though, only 4 acres on that side of the river, half of that is open area seen in the pic, and the other half is all hills that are ridiculously steep. Like some areas you have to use the trees to get around. What's weird is its just in one place where there's huge hills. Everywhere around is all flat. Like how did that get there lol. My uncle believes it was from the glaciers coming through during prehistoric times I guess?

And that's a lot larger around than my fires lol. If I ever clear out on the large part of the property I will have a ton more brush, and a lot more space to burn it. I'd love to get a fire like that.
I do use gas to start wet brush fires but not like that video, holy crap lol. The gas I use is like 8 years old out of my uncles pickup, that stuff is kinda nasty and isn't explosive at all like new gas is. I've used new gas once and yeah its got a lot more force lol

when i went camping i used to take my roofing torch and a 20 lb propane tank, my ex was always like why are you bring that damn thing???? cause it starts logs on fire fast, thats why. leave it at idle, just flame under the pile and 5 minutes later its a full blown fire.

if you pulled the lever to full it sounded like a hot air balloon, and yes it would make the log light up faster, but was loud. who needs kindling and news paper? not me....
 
doing torch applied roofing will remove hair lol my legs were kinda hair less due to wearing shorts, and my forearms as well from crossing the torch over under your arms to heat crap up. got a few 3 rd degree burns along the way too. thos f ing hurt bad.
 
All the pulley talk is making me fiend. A little. Fire talk too, I miss the woods something awful. Been cool here, too. I bet Californians would freak on you-all's bonfires.

I finally washed my GTP. Used hand cleaner with a brush on the tires, they were brown plus there was a mess on the tire they patched. Parked extra far out at the grocery store so I could get a good long look at it while I walked out. Ah. Happiness is a warm Pontiac. Suprised a Mustang with it yesterday in the rain, that guy got super-mad, it was hilarious!

Glad one of my parts are going on the comp g! Lol
i took my car to my shop on my day off. Did a coolant flush and oil change in her. She's running good. Besides the occasional hiccup sense the maf is bad
 


No I live in BFE and work I park in the way back under nothing. I think it might have been a rock or I think I hit a bird this morning but I dont think it hit the window just the bumper.

It wont stay that small for long living on these dirt roads, I wonder how much replacement glass is going to cost....

Our Impala needed a new windshield. A shop near us charged 216 I think. I'll have to check the paperwork if that's parts or parts and labor.
 
Im gonna start getting estimates, I see safelite commercials but anyone ever use them? I'll have to find glass shops or something

avg is 200 installed for new glass, used a lot less.

some shops like the one i used some time ago like to just kick the old one out, then glass chips fall in the defroster vents, so ask how they remove it, if they kick it out, tape off your vents. or glass fly's into your eyes when you use the defroster.
 
That's nothing Russ.. You should see my windshield it's cracked all down the middle. How did it happen. No clue cars been parked in the driveway.. One day I was working on it and visible seen that it wasn't damaged.. Went out of town for a week.. Get back bam cracked.. Asked my pops if anything hit it and he didn't notice it until I mentioned that it wasn't cracked before and that I was working on the car prior to leaving so I remember looking at it.. Owell. When the time comes and I throw insurance back on it I'll have them replace it for free! Plus I'm not coming out of picked for a HUD windshield.
