Nice press.

Mine's sitting on the bench, still not mounted or in use.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I laughed at unicube.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Hey OBC. How?s the vehicle coming?

Bad news on the T case, it's got some problems....around 2K rpm it has an excessive harsh vibration from the output shaft. Once it's rebuilt, I've got some driveshaft angle problems that need resolved.

I also have to cut the tacks on the rear diff pads and rotate it up a bit and re tack it. Tomorrow I'll cut those and get it ready for Jim to bring out his electro-compass. In the meantime I've gotten the front end torn apart and started bead blasting the knuckles and replacing the ball joints, get the knuckles and calipers/brackets blasted and ready to be painted. Bronco Graveyard screwed me on my kit...no axle u joints.

Diff shop boils housings, but it's not good enough to get it really clean so I'll bead blast the housings before they go down and I'll paint em when they come back. I reverse chamfered the steering arm so the drop linkage can come in from the top instead of the bottom, and that should help the geometry with that. I also need to drill new front spring rear shackles to get better spacing between the main leaves and the frame.

Gonna be a busy day tomorrow for sure, and a long one.

I'm a big .40 fan. I was sitting at the bench smoking cigars and working at the time. I don't smoke while reloading, but really want to. Usually I'm drinking though.

Yeah, someone might post up a pic for me. I found out today they won't fit in the first two areas that I was interested in but it was an afterthought to have extras made anyways. Initially there was only gonna be one just for the back of the truck.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Pulled a bonehead move this morning though.

Removed ball joints from R knuckle yesterday and partially blasted it. Finished blasting it this morning and put the new ball joints in. I was painting it and realized I put the fukin things in upside down.

[facepalm]

It only took ten minutes to fix it but I did mess up some of the paint and fixed that. Just trying to hustle and get as much done as possible, shit's gonna happen. Doh.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Irving, I can appreciate your personal assessment. The older you get, you'll begin to realize holding on to your youth....just isn't going to happen.

Keto and legs/cardio. Don?t worry so much about the appearance. You don?t have time to look pretty, just get the legs and cardio up. Bunless burgers, water only, get summer sausage and real cheese, etc.

Good luck on getting back in shape, Irving. I've found the injuries that I willed my way through in my yoot came back with a vengeance after 40. The bod just doesn't recover like it used to. I wish you the best.

I agree, sometimes health issues put a damper on things

In my 60's and after having a leg amputated i was more concerned about my body and muscles atrophying . I do 2-3x a week mild to heavy cardio workouts at the local health club

IMO, unless you're working out on a set schedule trying to maintain a physique you had in your 20's. Forget about it. Accept the fact as one gets older you get a little wider here, little grayer there. I'm not condoning weight where you're up 2-3 belt sizes, just know some things change. Unless you can maintain a set amount of time to the health club and keeping to a diet change. You have to accept it

[Irving]

I'm not quite as worried about appearance, but I just weigh too much.

[Irving]

Thank you for the kind words everyone. I'm just looking for a better minimum baseline of health. I was in the best shape of my life maybe only like 3-4 years ago, so nothing unobtainable at all

[ChickNorris]

Ive lost a number of lbs just training for & shooting midrange tactical in the last year. (Not going to say exactly but it was enough change that I needed to size down the wardrobe) I actually don't mind that a gave up a few of my girly curves for a slimmer profile.

Extra bonus over being more fit, I think I look damn good (albeit a different sort) & I love shooting for so many reasons. Ultimately I trained to be stronger so I could be a better marksman & it shows in more than just my waistline.

Dont think I've said recently: Can't believe I went my entire life not doing this. ;-)

[hurley842002]

It's pretty rough starting from the bottom. I'm really bad at doing things consistently, so we'll see how long this lasts.

I realize everyone's schedule is different, and yours sounds bad with all the traveling, but your above statement is the reason why I demand a daily exercise routine for myself, some days it's an hour and a half of weight lifting, other days it's just a quick cardio session. I've come to the conclusion I'm past the age of becoming an underwear model, but there is much satisfaction being in great shape, despite minor fluctuations in weight and appearance.

Start small and work your way up, I remember some of the workouts you were doing there for awhile, so I think you'll be fine if you commit.

[MrPrena]

So, I went to new Thrornton Batting cage near Riverdale and 91st. I haven't even hit a single ball since 1997-98ish at the batting cage.
I used 2 token at the medium speed baseball, and fastest (far left side) at the batting cage.

The fastest seems to be only at around [estimated] 75 at most.

[Irving]

Doubt I could hit a ball pitched that fast. Not with only a single token anyway.

[MrPrena]

6 token is $5. They give you a free helmet/bat rental as well. It is cheaper than golf practice range ball bucket.

What better is that usage of tennis court is free and doesn't require a reservation (first come first serve).
Whereas racquetball requires a reservation and need to pay $4.30 at the rec center.

[Irving]

Interesting finds on Craigslist (to me anyway).

I've been looking for a cheap stove for my covered back porch. Maybe this is it! https://denver.craigslist.org/atq/d/denver-caboose-stove/6943560324.html

I'd grab the stove, if you don't like it. It's worth that in scrap.

The camper, if it's still available with that price. As with any camper. I'd do a good inspection underneath and anywhere water use items are. Lots of people buy campers only to discover that good deal has a rotted floor under the sink or toilet area.

Do you think that the Brass Armadillo is just a front for a money laundering operation?

It's a place full of trash marked at insane prices. It'd be easy to source junk, mark it up, then let innocent little old ladies resell it to your foot soldiers so you can wash cash. No "sellers" are ever there and everything is coded in numbers. Seems like a pretty safe bet to me.

I found a neat old (overpriced) safe at one of the booths there. Like you said, no seller there, so I asked the lady at the front counter, and made a pretty low offer (there was a sign posted encouraging negotiations). She called the owner of the booth, he accepted the offer and we paid the lady. She looked through a box and found a card with the combo written on it. I think each ?booth? is rented individually and the house takes a cut of the sales.



Or it?s the mob.

I haven't been in there for probably 20+ years. How much do you think those little 'booth' rentals have to be to sustain the overhead? Rental + percentage maybe?

I always see a few cars in the parking lot, but just how many antique egg beaters, beaded lampshades & rotary hoe wheels do you have to move to see a roi?

Y'all are weird. Ive dry fired this bad boy for two days & I'm thrilled with it insofar. Perhaps I'll have an alternate experience @ the range & glean what you're talking about, but for now I just don't see a problem.

[ChickNorris]

Ive a 45 short throw safety which reduces travel, its pretty short on my setup but not so short that it'll stall after fouling from a couple hundred rounds. I might have to work it a bit more after I'm fluent with its operation. Can you imagine if I had to detail every 500rds. Oh yeah, that'd be practical. LMAO

That is the plan. ;-)

[brutal]

Have that in one of my builds, great trigger, but I prefer the rounded ones as the straight I don't like how my finger slips down on it after firing.

Had this not had the little hook on the bottom, I would have spent more for the round one. I have zero flat triggers.

https://i.imgur.com/jStw0xL.jpg

I have lots of other triggers, can't even recall which one is in which gun and sometimes I swap things around when I get a new one. I'm terrible at keeping track of this stuff lately.

Chick.N, shoot me a text about pickles please. I'm on my way to Ark right now, but have to leave by 11:30. I'm be back though town later though.

[ChickNorris]

Had you mentioned this earlier I would've been in the neighborhood anyway...

[ChickNorris]

Operation habanero pickle is underway.

Operation habanero pickle is underway.

I?m sure there?s some innuendo in that comment somewhere.

[whitewalrus]

If you have a burning pickle, may want to see your doctor....

[ChickNorris]

Silly boys. Just homemade pickles & Irving agreed to be the first to try them. Now I'm concerned they won't be as delicious as I had always presumed. Never occured to me the texture might turn out incorrect...

Won't get my hopes down just yet.

[whitewalrus]

Guess you will soon find out if they are good or not.

[ChickNorris]

Right

[ChickNorris]

You know what I've been missing? Shooting a shotgun.

I'd like to try trap again, or maybe skeet this time.

[ChickNorris]

For want of a better description I'm running low on percussive therapy.

[buffalobo]

Window shop?Shop in which we built window bucks for installation of windows into log walls and built custom shaped fixed pane windows for houses we manufactured.

Trigger therapy. Got 20 rounds on a 2.8lb trigger this morning at the range.

Geeze, a 2.8lb trigger must be a state record. And it took 20 rounds to kill it?!

[Irving]

It's been a while since I've handled a claim where someone created hail damage on a roof and tried to pass it off as the real thing. I forget how fucking furious it makes me every single time.

[whitewalrus]

Well might as well try if you get a few kids w/ ball peen hammers should be able to quick work of it

[ray1970]

Been years since I?ve been there. I should try and make it out one Friday for some sporting clays.

[Irving]

I've actually seen that before. You can tell every single time.

[Great-Kazoo]

Y'all are weird. Ive dry fired this bad boy for two days & I'm thrilled with it insofar. Perhaps I'll have an alternate experience @ the range & glean what you're talking about, but for now I just don't see a problem.

When you get up there in age and arthritis kicks in, get back with us.

[brutal]

I've actually seen that before. You can tell every single time.

Is it easy to distinguish fat guy wearing golf shoes hanging Christmas lights from actual hail damage? Asking for a friend.

[brutal]

Hot. Pickle. Skeet.

Must. Not. Make. Joke.

I like their course as it?s shaded most of the way with trees. Their skeet courses are as well

Irving,

What sort of footwear would you recommend?

Maybe these?

[Irving]

One trick people use is to cut the head off of a spoon and glue it to the bottom of their shoe. Then as they walk the roof during an inspection, they twist their ankle each time and grind out a mark onto the roof. Or they use a quarter or nickle to carve out a "bruise." That leaves a distinct mark though because the roof tar gets dragged over the top of the granules. One time I could see the striations from the side of the quarter. Meanwhile, total amateurs use a ball peen hammer, or a regular hammer, and stand in one spot so all the marks are in a big arc that just so happens to be an arm's length wide.

Good thing I didn?t let any of the endless stream of roofing contractors that came by after the storm on my roof.

[Irving]

I don't understand doing shit like that in Colorado, especially this time of year. There are houses that are completely BLASTED from hail. Why even waste your time, or risk the trouble to fake damage?

"I already got twelve other houses bought in this neighborhood bro!"

Great, go work on them.

[ChickNorris]

I need to get out soon as well. I?ll let you know if I head up to Colorado Clays

Yes please

[ChickNorris]

Pickles are great. Currently have the hiccups though because I are one too fast.

Yay. Glad to hear it.

Might have to give it another go & try more flavors.

[Irving]

Like milk, honey, and cinnamon pickles!

[Irving]

Fall is coming, maybe a nice pecan, or strawberry/rhubarb!

[ChickNorris]

I was thinking

. . . Bloody Mary w/bacon

. . . Ginger Ghost Pepper

. . .

[Irving]

Pickle spice latte!!!!!

CN - how did the trigger work out?

[Great-Kazoo]

speaking of tool's new release. One of the guys working the pizza truck is from the old town part of greeley, go figure.

[ChickNorris]

CN - how did the trigger work out?

I like it & while shooting offhand, slow fire & rapid fire alike didn't seem to be experiencing the same issue you all had with it. The flat face seems more natural to me actually.

I enjoyed the novel experience because I know MY rifle & there weren't any other modifications I really got to concentrate on just the trigger difference. My old trigger was like shoving a concrete block over gravel from the opposite side of a door. By comparison this new one is just as simple as opening the door. I see a difference in the groupings; less thrown shots because the concerted effort required to drag the old to the break, along with the hard break itself is now gone. (There is currently little over travel after the break because of the style of safety I have, which is where the modifications I spoke of in an earlier post will come to happen) I have slender fingers & I think because of it there doesnt seem to be any real estate conflict between the bad lever & how it appears to sit (didnt measure) just a bit more forward in the trigger well. Also tested this wearing my cold weather range gloves but not with my subzero wear as that's really n/a.

Since I'm a trigger trapper & right now the only thing I might miss is the hard 'spring' & subsequent very loud 'click' of the reset. It was so loud you could easily hear it after each shot in the recordings @ my comps.

Of course, I need to do more range work to really find & know the sweet spot & but I think I'm going to commit & make the mods to seat it properly so I can get to work.

Glad to hear it?s working for you, the problem is you cannot go back to a cheap trigger after you have shot a nice one :)

[ChickNorris]

Yay. I just worked it out to go shooting with someone from the forum tomorrow. Fun fun

[whitewalrus]

sounds fun, think I need to get out tomorrow too

[wyome]

Dont know if I've mentioned this yet but I have a new trigger to try later today. Kind of excited to see if I'll like it or not. It's a SD-E.

Nice

Once I went to Hiperfire triggers I really can't shoot with milspec anymore.
Tho in a few of my builds the crazy nice triggers dont add much to the fun. Cheap AR blaster builds dont need the good stuff....

[ChickNorris]

Hate to say my peace & quiet summer vacation is also almost over. Not looking forward to the confluence of idiot parents gathered in front of my house twice a day... the kids are rarely the issue. Denver public school starts in a few weeks.

Another hassle I get to look forward to is that someone always manages to hit my truck (usually in the first few weeks) while doing an illegal u-turn in the middle of the school zone just as school lets out because they are too lazy, stupid or both to anticipate & drive around the block. Since it IS going to happen I'd rather it be my truck than a child. At least I usually get to be an asshole (but still polite) to the person who hits the truck, it's cathartic. Kinda wish I could go all MMA just once though.

I actually bought an assortment of window pens (the ones used for prom, sports, just married etc.) & I fantasize about using them on all the folks' vehicles who park on my sidewalk, drive over my lawn, block my driveway, dump their ashtays in my street, park in front of my house on street sweeping days, hoarke my plowed parking, honk their horns incessantly, breathe, etc., etc., etc.

Still, I have hope that a few aren't little monsters in the making. I got a note once from a child who apologized that their ball went over the school fence & hit my truck & set off the alarm. No damage they could 'tell' but they weren't sure & a phone number. I called to thank them for their integrity & the parents didn't know the child had left the note until they asked the boy. Good kid.

How's that for random?

I'm thrilled with my truck. Driving in 4WD/Offroad 1 for miles on unpaved roads getting back and forth to the cabin and exploring. Spent a couple of hours idling with the AC on at Arches and in town. Stop and go traffic trying to get back on I-70 Sunday. 2-3 passengers and a bunch of gear. That 5.7l Hemi averaged 21.9 mpg for the entire trip there and back.

You're too nice. Me i'd do to them what i did to those church goes who insisted on blocking my driveway. Using the Oh we're only here for an hour bullshit. 1 or 2 rusty screws placed under their tires. Took a few for them to perhaps get the hint. Or it might have been my friends tow truck hooking up one of the monied worshipers land rover. By that time i could care if they all burned in hell. i mean just for an hour, right.

Now, I'm not saying that women shouldn't drive forklifts...

[Irving]

Did they build a Home Depot around your house or something? What's going on?

I was going to make a funny (I thought) joke about women drivers the other day with my daughter in the car, but opted not to because I have to tread a very fine line between things I think are funny, and things that will ruin her developing personality.

[Fentonite]

New neighbors next door (cool folks). They had their belongings delivered in a UHaul pod, and this was the retrieval of the pods. Driver decided to bring the forklift up our driveway and drive down the sidewalk (after failing to jump the curb, surprise). Caught our tree branch and ripped it off the tree, but got stuck in the process. Nobody got hurt at least.

[Irving]

This is exactly the kind of thing that scares me out of starting new side hustles. I think I'm going to offer gutter cleaning in the fall and in the spring when I'm slow though, starting this year.

[Fentonite]

That makes a lot of sense. You’re already doing the climbing, and nobody want to clean their own gutters. Sounds smart to me. Good luck.

[Irving]

Thanks. I'll be allowing board members the honor of paying me full price for services, once I figure out what those prices are.

Good thing I saw this dove in time. At first I thought it was a dog soft toy because it was sitting so still. Anyway, it was a good thing I saw it because I was a few stories up right over a concrete driveway and had I gotten closer without noticing, I'm worried it would have startled me when it flew away and scared me over the edge.

Silly place to build a nest, not that they are any good at building them to begin with.

Found a brush hog on CL for a good price, text the seller. They send back Call X #. I call the, seller says. I've been getting a lot of spam text & calls lately. If the text is real they call. Mmm ( sounds like a GD topic) Anyway . The seller says i'm on this street. Really where at i live on the road, also.

Turns out he's 1/2 mi down the road and says...... you're a neighbor come pick it up and bring it back when you're finished. All i ask is you top off the gas and replace the cutters.

Just ordered more business cards. Hopefully I spelled my business name correctly this time.

It says Roof Jumpers, this time. Not roof humpers, yes?

Cool story.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yep, that is cool.

[ChickNorris]

Night folks

[Gman]

Prolly too late, but good night anyway.

Found a person on Google maps without their face blurred.

Maintaining balance.

That's deep.

I hope it?s hot today. Going to be stuck in the office catching up on some reports so it?s a good day for it to be hot.

[ChickNorris]

Nope. Unless you think 80 is hot

[Gman]

I'm looking for a cooler day to get some yard work done. Supposed to be a high around 84 with a better chance for storms this afternoon.

...but right now is coffee time. Oh how I LOVE NEED coffee.

Come on, I could not resist

I'm outside bucking up some fire break wood, this morning. Then i'll relax in the climate controlled shop. Like a ying yang day

[BladesNBarrels]

Get the air conditioning cranked up in the shop and then stoke up the wood fired stove.
Just because you can

Then put a humidifier and dehumidifier in the same room and let them fight it out.

Had a really good time fishing and hiking last several days at State Forest state park.

Mrs bo killed it fishing and we now have trout in the freezer, destined for the smoker.

[buffalobo]

By noon each day people would be asking if she had limited out yet and could they have her spot.

[buffalobo]

Reba had a tough time having to be on leash all the time.

[buffalobo]

We were graced by a visit to the lake for dinner by a bull moose.

He appeared to be surprised that so many people were around. He was hesitant when he first arrived but soon decided he didn't care and waded into the lake to feed along the shore.
