They won't pick up your package if it's not there to pickup.

Picked up the bolts to secure the base and found some old braided hose I can use to hide the cord from socket to the base, also going to pick up a lamp kit tomorrow to figure out how that's going to work.

Just got word cancer put down a friend. No good after sentence for that... just dang. That ol boy was something else I tell ya. Not a terribly close friend but trusted and there won't be another like him. Part of the over 40 discomfort is the increased frequency of that type news.

I dig the braided line, beats zip ties Russo.

Death is all around it seems. A guy my brother went to school with was killed last week in probably one of the most horrible ways you could die. He was 29 and left behind a 2 year old daughter and fiancee.

There is another guy who has actually been in the national news that was killed by ISIS in Syria, Keith Broomfield. He is the brother of a guy who is a vendor on some other forums I frequent. Mr. Broomfield was only 36.

Steam Summer Sale is on right now.

Dave, I literally own everything except FC4. I refuse to pay more than $20 for it.
 


Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

Meh, I walked out on a friend and his group of friends because this one person argued that, he supported anarchy, and would be okay if I killed him right there in cold blood, because I wanted to with no other justification.

I'm sorry, I cannot handle that. I may have all sorts of personal issues that might result in me having a lower than normal self-esteem, but I would never tell another human being with absolute certainty, I would be okay if you killed me at this point in time simply because you wanted to.

I don't know how many imgurians or redditors are on here, but some interesting stuff has gone down lately. The TLDR is, I can't believe that people are this evil, and enjoy the suffering of others this much. I am, and forever will be, naive at heart. I expect people to want something better out of life than, "I made more money today because I wronged someone else."
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

Iiiinteresting.... and awful. I was lucky enough to live through my early miscalculations of people and hot-headed actions, some are not that fortunate. Lessons learned, you gotta play a few moves ahead of the bad guys. The self-esteem / destruction subject is a place we needn't go and I'm steppin back on that.

My friend that passed had lived through a pool cue entering alongside the eyeball and bouncing off the back of his skull in a bar fight. Only reason he was alive was there was a hosp across from the bar. He was amazingly un-hindered by that but was always a little wild.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

Noticed a cop watching a stop sign/radar after I already went through it. Got lucky, I don't usually make a very good stop at the sign there since it really should be a yield sign with how easy it is to see traffic way ahead of time. But anyway just actually felt like making a mostly complete stop for once which is odd for me there. There wasn't even any traffic near me. I ease into WOT to about 6 mph under the speed limit before I notice him at all, hiding behind a building. Let off to a few under and hope he doesn't go after me, and luckily he didn't. whew. New spot for me to check every time I go through there now. When you drive the same route every work day, you know where all the cops sit. I check them all every time, it pays off quite often. Today caught me off guard as this is a new one to add to the list.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

I hate seeing those but love knowing where they are. Theres a church up by work where stateys wait, and a graveyard in town where they hide good too. One good thing about routine lol.

Took the sway bar off my dad's truck. Semi rust proofed with grease

Also poked around the other side, finding one weak spot. Greased that side too.

I couldn't grease the inside of the gearbox side since thee are no holes big enough to get a brush into, so I sprayed motor oil all inside the frame until everything was wet with oil. Used a blow gun and pump oiler.
That should make it last another year or two to keep the gearbox or idler arm from falling off
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

time for a new frame, or off to shop to to do a pro patching job. hes taking his life in his hands like that. i sure hope he dont load it up much or tow with it.
 
Re: Post Whoring Thread 3.0 - Bill loves zee Germans, forget you W-Body guys

+ me, on that. A small accident could have unimagined results with that much rot. When core supports become loose, the vehicle can't crash as a unit as intended. So if somebody was to run a red light and rake across the front or in the case of a multi car rearend hit or rollover... hood corner in face becomes a possibility. Maybe Father's day you could show him some potential other trucks, just to spur the thought process away from the danger truck.

I build my own turbo setup...I don't understand why it has issues.
