Yahooo....Today is my Friday

[buffalobo]

Crap, I hate when I do that. Spaced out stopping for fuel when I needed to on the commute this morning. Ended up pushing almost 25 miles further than comfort allows. Made it to fuel station but probably burned a weeks worth of good luck.

[HoneyBadger]

Hey Hos, miss me?! [Tooth]

Anyone want to give me some feedback in my thread regarding a Pelican 1740 case for 4 rifles and 4 pistols? I added some pictures from solidworks with the firearms in place showing the overall layout.

Thanks!

hey! Just last week I was asking about you!

How ya doing?

[BuffCyclist]

My phone sounded an alarm last night around 2am. Apparently, the National Weather Service issued an "It's Extremely Serious and Totally Gonna Happen Flood Warning". When my wife checked her phone after I woke her up accidentally, she had the same thing but her phone didn't sound the alarm.

Then around 330am, the house was smelling very strong of smoke. It wasn't the forest fire kind it was the your house is on fire kind. Got up frantically and ran around, not that much unlike this: [panic]. But quietly because my wife and sister were asleep. Went outside and didn't see/smell anything on fire, so I'm wondering if the evaporative cooler was making it worse or if my evaporative cooler fan motor is about to die.

[BuffCyclist]

hey! Just last week I was asking about you!

How ya doing?

Hey HB! How's HB Jr doing?

I'm doing well, finally finished the 5 weeks of 3, 1 week long work trips. Got bronchitis, so that sucked. But now I'm healthy and back to my regular working everyday schedule.

[HoneyBadger]

I woke up with a smoky house when the Black Forest was on fire... That was scary. I went apeshit.

HB Jr is great. Starting to say lots of words, running around and enjoying being a boy. We spend a lot of time outside. :)

[HoneyBadger]

Mrs. HB officially has 1 week of work left and she's DONE! [WooHoo]

[BuffCyclist]

Awesome about HB Jr. I visited my niece last week when I was in VA and I am amazed at how much she is speaking (she's 4.5). The last time I saw her was about a year ago but she has improved so much!!

My wife is excited, she only has 3 more weeks left of work then she gets to sit home for the rest of the pregnancy with her feet up relaxing!

[BuffCyclist]

You're welcome!!

[BuffCyclist]

My wife is doing well, pregnancy has been a piece of cake for her aside from swollen feet. Rest of my family is doing well too, not too much to brag or complain about so that's good!

[BuffCyclist]

Awesome. When is she due?

September 6th.

[HoneyBadger]

Awesome. Boy or girl?

[BuffCyclist]

It's a girl and we're excited! :)

[HoneyBadger]

[WooHoo]

Congrats! I'm terrified to have a girl... lol Boys are easy.

[BuffCyclist]

Haha, the only kid I've ever been around is my niece the last few years. My wife is scared to have a boy, she says they're difficult. I'm like, seriously? when I was a kid, my mom would buy me a small pack of legos (the old ones in plastic bags for like $3 they don't sell anymore) and that would keep me busy all day. I used to sit on the side of the tennis courts while she would play in tournaments for up to 6-8hrs a day. I would sit there with my snack and legos and never whine, fuss, or even make a noise. How much easier can you get than that?! [LOL]

[Great-Kazoo]

I woke up with a smoky house when the Black Forest was on fire... That was scary. I went apeshit.

We had that Ft collins fire 2-3 yrs ago?? 11 am perfectly clear. 11:30 you couldn't see the sidewalk. We're 30 miles away from where the fires were. It's hazy up here today too.

[Irving]

Our daughter is the best behaved kid ever, even since birth. I see a lot of young boys with a lot more energy than her, and that would be difficult to maintain.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Graphics Designer... LOL

Howdy fellers.. :)

The wifes clamp on fan...mounted on the head board of the bed, smoked the motor in the middle of the night a year or two ago.....scared the shit out of me. Wake up at 3:00 in the morning smelling electrical/burning odor and smoke. Wasn't enough to set the smoke alarms off yet, but I'm actually really damn glad that *while asleep* I woke up because of the smell.

[brutal]

I am SOOOO happy this week is pretty much over for me.

Got all the heavy lifting work I was stressing over wrapped up. SAN encryption DONE! DR test DONE!

Managed to get the jetski's all cleaned up and pics taken for the sale. Neighbor stopped by asking about them so they may go to a good home.

Still have to finish sanding and polishing the gelcoat repairs I had to do on them. Damn my ski had a lot of major dings. Kind of pissed that one I paid a shop to do was done half-assed and needed a big touch up.

[wyome]

Nailed an interview today...already have a decent job, looking to see if I have options here in a few days now

Well of course, you make her cut the lawn with a rusted up dull bladed 1940's push mower. Who would have any energy after that ?

[HoneyBadger]

...Just got home from work. KMN.

My current elephant becomes a constellation next week. What is normally a two month planning cycle is now a 2 week frenzied flurry of freak-out.

We get a new elephant later this month. Hopefully he's going to be an OK boss.

With the 4 July time fast approaching, there are parades, rodeos, BBQs, and other craziness still happening.

I got my letter from Colorado Bureau of Idiocy today, I'm happy about that....record cleared up, but I'll share some wording in from it with you guys....might shed a little light for anyone you may know of in the future that has this type of problem that I've had to endure again...this time around.

[Great-Kazoo]

Whatever the wording you have a right restored, that should never been taken away.

[OtterbatHellcat]

This isn't the entirety of the letter, but there was some law change that happened within the last couple years that apparently turns OLD ass cases into a new status of some kind. Highlights are from me for the purposes of this post.

Reads:

You were initially denied in 2013 (the Bushmaster AR platform 308) and again in 2014 (S&W M&P 40 Shield) for a conviction on your Colorado criminal history for Misdemeanor Assault on Police Officer. Under Colorado State Statute, the offense of Assault on a Police Officer carries an additional sentencing enhancer that would have prohibited you for the purchase and possession of a firearm.

Supplemental research has been conducted by the CBI and it has determined that the assault case was based upon a municipal code violation and was heard in Municipal Court only. As such, any potential sentence does not included the additional sentencing enhancer that would be needed to prohibit the purchase or possession of a firearm. And entry has been made on our database to reflect this information and this issue should not impede any future firearm purchases.

Sentencing enhancer? Um....evidently some people are seriously going to get hosed by the "enhancer".

I cleared my problem up with them at least 15 years ago, and it came back to haunt me a second time due to the "new statute". This stuff is getting pretty scary what "they" can do to you....for things now, or in the very distant past.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Whatever the wording you have a right restored, that should never been taken away.

Amen, and praise the good Lord for that, Jim.

[OtterbatHellcat]

FTR...in my case, I was being assaulted by the police officer in the first place, and I defended myself. It was a felony arrest however, and I ended up being convicted of misdemeanor assault in the end. Served my punishment and fines all that happy crap.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Anyways, all that aside and cleared up for good now, hopefully... I hope everyone has a fantastic Independence Day tomorrow, like I said earlier, it's the bestest holiday of the year.

[OtterbatHellcat]

We had probably the worst week of our lives this week. At least I hope it was. I don't want to experience a week worse than this one.

Flyboy, who's fault was the accident? Also, good fucking luck getting a pizza place to cover anything. Let me know if you have any questions.

Shitty that everyone has had such a terrible week.

Yeah Buddy....'Mericas birfday !!!!

And there's nothing better than shooting pistols on Independence Day.. a good time was had. I really like the Sheild, it's gonna be a very nice carry gun for this water weasel. ;)

I guess our guests will all be hanging out inside today... :(

Hang an OUT OF ORDER sign on the bathrooms. That will eliminate the tourist, from true friends.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I mean, unless someone reports it, peeing outside really isn't illegal...right? Just be careful.......anything more than two shakes constitutes pleasure and carries a far higher level of prosecution.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Headed over to watch Thorntons show tonight....we'll be in the Three Margaritas parking lot by the condos I lived in a couple of years ago....nice vantage point, and 104th is a circus with all the folks heading to the event. Every so often, screeching tires and contact. Nothing like assholeing somebody else with a crowd of folks looking on, and then all the insurance jokes from the audience. ha ha.

Loaded up the truck this morning with guns and ammo, set the Juice on Redneck (lotsa smoke) and headed for the range.

Got some new optics dialed in, spent 3 hours farting around all by my lonesome and then ate some Birthday food a the the clubhouse.

looking at the hole in my pocket. Trying to figure out how i got roped in to buying a police trade in S&W 4" Model 15 revolver. Make matters worse, showed the spouse. First words out of her mouth. OH that looks real nice. Not only do i have a hole in the pocket, the Model 15 has some how drifted to the spouses collection. [facepalm]

Stripped the oil plug bolt on my Focus. Letting it soak in Liquid Wrench while I figure out how to get it out.

Anyone remember the name of the oil plugs that use a lever instead of a screw? I want to get one for each of our cars...

[Great-Kazoo]

Stripped the oil plug bolt on my Focus. Letting it soak in Liquid Wrench while I figure out how to get it out.

stripped as in rounded off or stripped as in cross threaded in? IF you cannot get a flat jawed Vise Grips (R) to work, while applying low heat to pan. . Plan B center punch the plug, drill through in 2-3 increments, then use a GOOD screw extractor. See if bobbyz has a snap-on spline type extractor. Ir not i can have one down to you monday-tuesday.
This is choice A

Oh hell, I was in that thread, don't have time to get one before the trip. Fumoto valve.

Jim, I've got some easy outs, but am worried that if the bolt is so tight that it'd round off the head with a wrench, that an easy out won't have a chance.

Don't think my first thought wasn't to drop it off at a Firestone...

[OtterbatHellcat]

What is everybody up to?

Made my first trailer load of my crap to the new pad, financed a new bed set from Innomax..[facepalm]...it gets delivered and assembled next Saturday. Helped the wife unload 1300 bricks in the 90+ heat, that was fun.

Bummer on the oil pan woes, Irving. If you weren't heading out on a trip, I'd help you get the plug out. I'm unclear if you rounded off the head of the drain plug, but that's what I'm thinking happened? I have some socket rails designed for shit like that.

Don't think my first thought wasn't to drop it off at a Firestone... was it one of those butt holes that got the plug too damn tight in the first place?

What do you mean by that statement about the valves? What are the downsides? Seems that it would make changing the oil much simpler and cleaner for a commoner like myself.

As far as fires go, I grew up having them every weekend in Michigan, just to keep the dead wood on our 4 acres cleared. I love it. Last night, I kept lots of wood on it to keep it really hot and bright. Also helps carry the smoke away.

[Irving]

Got the drain plug out. Fuck you Ford/Mexico.

OBC: I was the one who put it on so tight apparently. Which is weird because I know better.

HoneyBadger: I would put one of those Fumuto valves on my daily driver street cars, but not on my Amigo. I'd probably break it off on a rock on a trail.

[brutal]

Decided to upgrade my the RV pull out umbilical cord to a cool watertight 30A twist lock shore power setup.

I knew I would have to build a larger backing plate to go from the round hatch to a sealed flip open square cover but ended up also having I had to fawk around with the shitty POS marine 30A shore power connector from CONNTEK.

JUNK,, GARBAGE POS.

To top it off, I get 3/4 of the way in and determine this POS must have been an RMA return item and one of the screws is busted in two.

I rigged it up with some spare parts but it cost me half a bottle of JD afterwards to calm myslef.

every thing made has a weak spot. Those levers................ Remember Cardboard is maintenance free.......................Till it Rains . jes saying.
IF you know / learn how to install a drain plug, oil filter etc correctly. HAND TIGHT then 1/4 turn or as directed on the filter package. You should not encounter a problem removing it. I've had vehicles come in where we needed to air chisel the fvken filter off. Low pressure of course. Hand tight MEANS HAND TIGHT!.

OBC has many a year in repairs. I have well,.. a few behind me ;) Seeing what works over time and what doesn't, on a daily basis, it's easier to use stock items.

looking at the plug. If something were to happen (for future reference) I would have ground 2 flats on each side, to give the flat jaw vise grip better purchase. You want to try getting the vise grip as flush with the base of the plug as possible. That area is less likely to round off. One other item for you DIY's USE a 6 not 12pt when removing hard to budge nuts.

Sometimes going metric vs SAE or visa versa and tapping it on a little with a light hammerfor is a trick that can work as well. Like you say, just get a good purchase on it first. Using an impact socket that won't split may be advised as well.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Thanks for the pic Irving...yeah, I have a socket rail that would have taken that out in no time. Brutal is right, sometimes tapping a metronic socket onto stripped standard size head will work great.

HB, I wouldn't use those oil drain valves because of the concerns that Jim, and Irving mentioned about his Amigo on a trail. All you have to hit with your car, is a dip you didn't know was ahead of you..... and that thing will get broken off and you're hosed. Seriously, if you smack something on the highway or drag an oil pan with the stock plug, you'll most likely be able to get home and deal with it later. I understand the good idea about it, but that's why I wouldn't outfit any of my cars with it.

Hittin' the hay and hope I sleep well....I cheated myself of decent sleep last night, shouldn't do it two nights in a row..lol.

[Irving]

An impact is exactly what rounded that bolt off so cleanly. I tried going down in size from 13mm to 12mm to pound a socket on, but it wasn't having it. I should have tried pounding on a 1/2in socket. I considered filing it flat on a side, but I wasn't sure why. Filing for vise grip purchase makes sense.

[HoneyBadger]

Thanks for all the thoughts on the drain valves, everyone. I think I'll definitely consider it for Mrs. HoneyBadger's daily driver. I'll have to take a good look under the Xterra to see what the situation is and how protected that area is, and then I'll decide if it's worth it.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Good morning.

Sure HB.. :) Yeah, if the oil pan drain is higher than the lowest part of the engine cross member, you'll probably be alright.

Glad you got the plug out, Irving. I can't find the sockets I'm talking about so you can see what I mean...but they're knurled/curved in a reverse fashion, and have sharp "teeth" that drive themselves into the sides of the stripped bolt head. As you apply pressure to back the bolt out, the teeth dig into the damaged bolt head and it comes right out 99% of the time.

I can take a pic of them tomorrow, they're pretty neato.

[buffalobo]

Today is repair/service the autos day.

The Mopar gets new shocks and tire rotation and the Toy gets a new brake line that has a hole from rubbing bracket.

Wish I had the $70 for custom fitted steel braided lines instead of spending an hour fabricating/bending the tube from parts house. Need it on the road tomorrow and can't wait for parts to ship in either.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Good luck with everything, Lobo.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Alright, raise your hand if you've ever come across a big spider web in your yard somewhere, and then actually looked for a little bug to toss into it. Spiders can do some cool shit. lol.

[pick-me]

Many times. One of the minions favorite activities when out here is to find/collect bugs.

We have captured Wolf spiders 4" in diameter(across body and legs)and build very tough web lined homes in the cracks that form when our clay soil dries. Not much fun to feed, when they detect you they tend to wait/hide until you leave then dart out and attack prey.

Some sort of Spotted Orbweaver, they build large webs(18" + diam) to catch flying insects and are fun to feed, catch bug(small grass hoppers work well cause they struggle so hard and really vibrate web) and throw against web.

Even an occasional black widow, which are put in gallon jar(with some dirt, grass, twigs, etc like a fully furnished condo) and put in cool dark place. Hole in the lid with tape over it allows bugs to be thrown in.

I should probably install these new brake pads on my truck.

I also need to get it out on a buddy's rack and change the oil.

Hell, I think I've got over 15K on the diff fluids now too for that matter.

[Irving]

Obc, I actually stumbled across a socket just like you decribed in my tool bag last night, but for 10mm.

HoneyB, the drain plug on my Focus is on the back of the pan, but on the Amigo it is right up front.

I did a surprising amount of vehicle maintenance yesterday. Well, not a lot, but just stuff that really needed done.

[buffalobo]

Only about half the stuff gonna get done today.

While I was eating lunch the wife came in and said she wants to go to the range. Says she wants to see how the new contacts and new glasses work for shooting. So see ya bye. [AR15][Beer]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Woo hoo !....those rib eyes are really damn delicious. I snuck a few pieces while removing fat and cutting them up for the lunches.

Lobo, hope you had a grand time slingin' lead around with the wife this afternoon...hotter than Hades out there though. There are some really cool spiders/insects out there.

Brutal, I think 15K is too early. Even if you're just using 90 wt. hypoid w/friction modifier in the diff. Our fleets cars weigh 10,000 lbs and are severe duty, and get the shit beat out of 'em....and 25K on Trans/Diff changes is adequate. If you Diff(s) are synthetic, you're good up to 50K. IMO

I had a hard time finding those sockets on the interwebz for picture purposes, don't know why.

WD marathon still going strong....I think I'm a WD Whore too... ha!

Thanks, you're probably right and I'm being overly anal about it. 2004.5 2500 RAM Cummins.

It got changed by the Dodge dealer after the first break-in (15k?) and I've only got just under 45K on the clock. Most of that is running around 21K total. It's all synthetic and with the LS rear, has friction modifier in it. I change my oil on time (2x/year) and never hit the miles.

The trans fluid got changed when I put on a deeper pan with a bung for a temp sensor shortly around the same time and it's never cooked so that's GTG. The only thing I keep putting off is installing a larger rear diff cover with bung and temp sensor/gauge but now since Dipricol went out of business, my gauges wouldn't match and I'd have to buy all new.

Wife was rusty and impatient [facepalm](only to the range once in last 3 yrs, used to be every other week) but liked the new springs and trigger job on her revolver. New eye gear was to her liking as well. She even put a few mags thru the Glock, contrary to her "tupperware is for leftovers, I shoot stainless revolvers" snobery. [blah-blah]


So now I gotta go finish some more of this service/repair work. [Rant2]

Somehow the wife thinks is this some influence from me. [Muaha]

[OtterbatHellcat]

Brutal, there's nothing wrong with being overly diligent about your vehicles fluids...just a matter of your time and money at that point. A maintained vehicle is a happy one, for sure.

10 to 15 K is kind of a standard for break in period. It's not a good idea to use any engine oil additives during that time btw.

Hell, I hope Roberth is doing alright, haven't seen him in a long time. Good guy.

OBC, are you a mechanic? I need to have some work done on my Amigo soon, and was going to contact Zetnik, but you are likely closer. I'd like to try and do the repair myself with someone who knows what they are doing. If I get desperate I can take it somewhere and pay with my credit card though.

No snake oil in the oil for me. Nothing but RotellaT 15W40 dino oil and Stratopore filters.

I do like to run wonder whiz (MMO/PS) mix in the fuel but I've been remiss the last few tanks. Quiets the injectors.

Amigo needs timing belt, and the shifter cable and a bushing on the auto tranny replaced. I tried to pull the shifter cable myself, and broke the plastic ears off. It will shift into all gears but park, which means you have to put it into neutral to start it. There is some bushing behind the gear selector sensor thing that is letter tranny fluid seep out, and that causes some issues as well. It is actually a common issue on this vehicle, but it is beyond my abilities. After I take care of those two things, then I'll work on going through the drive train and suspension on my own. Oh yeah, there is a very small coolant leak around the intake manifold. You can smell anti-freeze, but it leaks so little, that I've had to fill the coolant reservoir once in several thousand miles. The last guy that was going to do the work for me said it'd be easy enough to take care of while doing the timing belt.

Again, I'd like to be able to do it myself with help, but if it is going to be like a 16 hour nightmare or something, I think I'll just pay a shop.

[mcjhr]

That sucks Irving! That's how my f150 was....old n rusty. Wanted to do the water pump.....glad I didn't. Took mechanic 2 days.....

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yeah Irving, pay the shop...that's more shit than you want to take on yourself (with some help) I'm thinkin'.

[OtterbatHellcat]

On second thought, I'll ask the kid if he's up for replacing your timing belt and shift cable, Irving. I'll find out tomorrow, he's interested in those kinds of side jobs.

Good night fellers.

[Irving]

Get a quote, save money do it all at one time. Why double up on some labor charges, trying to save money. You need a timing belt / chain. Replace water pump, thermostat, and other hard to get to items, while in there.
Same for intake leak. While shits off, valve cover gaskets. Each repair requires removal of like items. Had to replace pan gasket in truck, and intake leak. Required removal of motor. 125k on odometer. Pan's off, do rear main, intake,removed AC compressor, and alternator, cover gaskets ,water pump etc.

You guys make me feel like I don't know anything about cars... And relative to some of you chumps (especially Jim, OBC, Z) I really don't.

Always have spare parts. A tuesday OOPS can turn in to 2 week OOS replacement. Oil & filter changes, belts, bulbs, basic stuff everyone should know. Pulling an engine to do a starter, it's unnecessary for the layman, to have the tools and expertise for it.

This is how we operate at our shop for the fleets. It's retarded to tale half the front of the motor apart to get to ONE pulley.... do all of them while you're in there, or you could get hosed for the same labor in a couple of months to do "another" pulley. It just makes sense and saves money in the big picture. We really do take care of our fleets with decisions like these, our customers trust us and we never sell anything that shouldn't be done. We also take care of some stuff for free, believe it or not.

Don't even ask, yeah, I'd do her....lol. Ed seems alright, has the chance to be as cool as you guys, but that remains to be seen ...ha!

I plan to take some small tokens of friendship to all of the immediate homeowners, exchange some ph numbers for emergency type purposes and stuff like that.

You know, a bottle of wine or something similar.

Anyways, gonna be packing up more stuff each night and hauling it to work, then get out of work and run it to the new pad. Try and make a larger trip with the trailer again on saturday morning, and then wait for the furniture to be delivered.

I also hope to get a free satruday to get down to the renaissance festival for some steak on stake and butt tons of beers, before they close that down for the summer. Nice cleavage down there..

Got done with work just before 3. Went and got new tires and alignment. Going on a road trip and need them. Glad it was cool out today. Had two roofs. Yesterday was two water losses and it was hot as heck.

Howdy howdy, everyone.

That's cool, Irving, I'll let him know you're kind of in a holding pattern on that side job for a bit.

Gotta pay some bills and get some shit boxed up. Lost some time messing with the wifes trailer wiring...test light checking fuses and some other shit after her license plate bracket fell off, figured something was blown....the damn plug adapter wasn't plugged all the way in, damn near just fell out. *sigh*.....she tries.

Gotta get moving.....literally, Ha!

later homies.

[Irving]

Standing on roofs all summer will keep the "eggs" plenty warm.

thankfully, the 'busy' is outweighing the 'stupid' . . . . .

I just filled out my portion of the report card, too....

Damn roofer just fell and scared the hell out of everyone.

Finally got to finish my latest AR build, it's been in progress for nearly 2 years... :/

Gas tube wouldn't line up with the gas key. It started out moving the gas tube up a bit by the barrel nut. After a little light bending, I was able to get rid of that movement, but then it would jam up the last 0.25" and the only way to get the bolt to close was with the forward assist. Well that's not good. Kept tweaking it with light bends and finally got it to close perfectly. The gas tube doesn't even move now when the BCG slides forward. Wish my scope mount would arrive so I can take it to the range and test fire it!

everyone OK?
Yeah, fortunately he just fell, and didn't fall off. Gave everyone an elevated blood pressure for sure though.

Howdy,

Hope the dude that fell off the roof didn't break his neck or something else.

Congrats on finishing up your build, BC !

Visited with Lobo today for a few minutes, that was cool.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Oh good, he didn't fall off the roof. How did I miss that post.

Hi Irving.

[BuffCyclist]

Thanks OBC, I'll be posting pics probably on Monday. My scope mount should be here on Friday so with any luck I'll be able to get it mounted up once I finish installing the handguard (need the scope mount to align the handguard to receiver).

[HoneyBadger]

I arrived at work 13 hours ago. I'm still here. [Puke]

I don't remember seeing you.
hahaha Don't you think I would have recognized you? I would have hit you for sure! ;)

[OtterbatHellcat]

I look forward to the pics, BC

Yo HB....we're still trying to get down to RFestival before they close it up for the summer.

[Great-Kazoo]

There's a woman's section where you could get closer and throw.

Thanks again for your help. Didn't get to work on it today but will try it tomorrow.

[HoneyBadger]

Just got home from work. 16 hr day. And I have to leave the house at 5 again tomorrow. :(

Didn't even get to see HB Jr today and I only saw Mrs HB for about 30 mins all day. Today was her birthday. :(
