what are you working on?

[elpuma]

I'm working on getting laid...... JK.

I'm actually studying for my final exams coming up next week. I plan to improve my wire tuck. Gonna work on the conversion harness i'm using and just solder it permanently into the cars stock harness. Also hope i can work up some new dash kinda like this one.

[gfrg88]

that dash is gangster.

In keeping with my investment advice to anyone who will listen, I bought some property last year. ... I got it so cheap I should be prosecuted.

Just to contextualize this all, four years ago, I lived in the Bay Area and worked at a big Wall Street bank. I wore nice suits, lived in a nice apartment and drove a German car.

Now I live in a camper and worry about rattlesnakes. Life is an interesting journey.

Interesting. Regarding prosecution, what about prosecuting the banksters that caused the mess in the first place? Unless... you stole the bank, threw the German car to the SF bay, got facial surgery to hide your face (plus beard), and hide in the mountains protected by rattlesnakes and pterodactyles (that thing flying in one of your photos)...

I am not doing anything special; writing job applications, writing e-mails inquiring for positions, all that beauty that comes after being done with school...

My buddy and I welded up a frame for his generator today. He has $35 in it, and it's been used once.

Tomorrow, we're going to look at some retail space for a bicycle shop. Hopefully by this time next month, I'll be working on bicycles.

Working on beer #4 out of the 12 pack of Okanogan Springs 1516 the neighbor gave me for swapping the starter out of his van the other day (80's Chev. 2 bolts, 2 wires. 10 min of work), trying to get my printer to spit out the P2 visa forms I need for an upcomming show. Going to go drink more and heckel the magician and the techs working the show down at casinoland and call it a good roadie friday. Over the next couple days I am going to work on advancing some shows, finishing up the rebuild to the shop truck ramp, and learn all about the nifty new SWR and site analyizer meter we are getting at the shop in preparation for changing out 1400 or so communications radios.

Yee Ha.

Where's my damned beer at.

Is there any possibility of using it for hydro power? It looks kinda small so I'm guessing probably not.

I had thought of that, but the snow pack wasn't great this year and it's barely running now. I'm thinking of putting a few water tanks on the top of the hill and filling them from the creek or well and doing some rainwater harvesting so I can gravity feed the drip hoses for the garden. That's probably my best use of the creek. That and letting the frogs make their unholy racket in it.

Hey snooz that's a nice place you got there.

Thank you kindly!

Interesting. Regarding prosecution, what about prosecuting the banksters that caused the mess in the first place?

Probably not going to happen, which means that we'll all get a lot poorer and more desperate. At least until the revolution. Then it will get worse...

Which is why I'm in the hills now, hoping to be a long way down the road to self-sufficiency by the time that happens. I'm just hoping I can watch civilization burn from a safe distance and not be too impacted when it does.

Fat chance, I know, but I can dream.

I have many projects going at any time. Today was another turn at the koi pond. I changed the marginal ledge to better accept the depth of plant I wanted to place. This turned into a rework of the plumbing layout of the system. I've had the pond since 2007, its been through 5 major remodels and the fish still aren't too pissed at me. they range from 2ft butterfly to 18in standards. I have many brilliant beautiful species but I just like watching them eat. things turn into bloody piranha.

That sounds like an epic hobby. Post pics, please.

[mykwikcoupe]

of the pond or the bikes being modified. took on another project today actually. 2000 Kawasaki Ninja ZX7R, blown motor in mint shape. I happen to have my 900 motor from when I installed the 1100 into that frame. Quick rebuild and install. Seems like a pretty easy install. Thats usually when things start getting complicated.

[lostforawhile]

just spent four hours trying to break one of the "quick disconnects" loose on the fuel pump outlet, four different tools later it came free, who was the joker who named them that? I want to mail him a bag of dog shit

[stat1K]

haha, i feel you tim, a lot of times they end up being a bigger pita than just normal banjo fittings. same goes for battery quick disconnects if someone tightens them with a pipe wrench.

I've been considering doing a water feature or a koi pond for my parents house to try and increase the value of the home a little before they sell it.




EDIT:

neck and arms are tired from putting a skim coat of joint compound on the ceiling. Waiting for it to dry and then I'll sand and paint.

I got a single light for the dark corner pf the bathroom.

No shopping today, my friend was tied up supervising some construction. Such an odd skillset this guy has, he's former EMS, has had a successful motorcycle racing career, has done well as an importer, and has made a ton of money in the stock market. I have a ton to learn from him.

We did, however, get the race car moving under its own power today. I don't have video of that, but I do have cell video of the car running. It's a shame the mic really didn't pick much up, but it's a very loud car. Not bad for under $2000.

Race car running.

We plan on drag racing on Wednesday, so I should have some times available.

[Legend_master]

Currently doing a lot of work towards the 3Gee in preparation for my california road trip.

As of now, I just finished the A/C system. Next step will be to get my idle working properly, pretty sure the FIT valve needs to be cleaned. After that I need to get my cruise control working, and then I will start working on a custom front mount for the b-swap. Besides that I have currently been going through the entire car, and greasing all moving parts. I hope to get auto-up and down features added to both my windows, but that may be a future project after the trip.

[redneck]

damn oil filter stand gasket...lol ohh and axle seals! so no more leaks and new tires bout ready for the big show next month

[Vanilla Sky]

Well, the track is closed today, so we're doing more work on the car. I've also been working on the how to section here a lot.

[89T]

I traded a 92 camaro rs for a '82 HD sportster with a '72 1000cc shovel head motor. I am working on re-wiring the entire bike. It will be a fun little project and a first for me to work on a bike.
