I'm having problems with the forum software rotating the pics. I'm also having fun trying to get them from iCloud to another source.

The first pic was similar but included the lawn.

The second pic was head down, chin resting on a stair.

[ChickNorris]

In other news. . . There is a variety of grapes called 'Moonies' @ King Soopers right now that are really amazing. They are oblong- almost rectangular, dark purple- almost black & taste like jam right off the stem. Really unusual & only available for a cou0le weeks once every year.

Try them.

Ummm

[ChickNorris]

Tomorrow I'm going to harvest my grape vines. I have quite a few this year despite the old neighbor lady who likes to steal them & pretend she doesn't know where they went. I stand not 20 feet away & watch her pick them . . . She doesn't realize I'm right there because her eyesight really sucks.

I always give her about half of what I personally collect anyway so she ends up with the lion's share. I think she enjoys thinking she's gotten away with the theft just as much as she likes eating them. I dont think she has very many joys in her daily so I'm glad she's briefly happy.

All around fave.

Makes great sno-cones.

Phase one of six for deck complete. Ready for stain.

Gotta do a little grade work to prep for phases 2-3.

Pic tomorrow if I don't forget.

[buffalobo]

Trying to get phase 2 of deck done and log restoration/refinish done before end of year.

[ChickNorris]

Psst. . . Don't forget to take that pic.

That's not a deck, that's furniture! Very nice.

[buffalobo]

Gotta get the stairs next to Reba ramp so Mrs bo can get started with stain.

Tomorrow.

Today still have to finish planting couple trees and take Reba to vet for pedicure and check up.

Those grapes look like blueberry flavored hot dogs.

[ChickNorris]

Yep, little unsnipped purple peckers.

The grapes from my vines are big light blue balls.

Might make a deviant dessert now with cake & whipped cream.

What do you use to keep the birds, rabbits & squirrels out of your grapes ? Every year, a friend of mine’s grapes get devastated by all those varmits.

[ChickNorris]

There are very few squirrels or rabbits in my neighborhood. They don't have the opportunity to be repeat offenders in my yard at any rate.

Birds have yet to be an issue. Apparently blind old ladies steal less than birds & double as scarecrows.

[ChickNorris]

Ive had to put my boot on a raccoon's arse a few times too.


Figuratively of course

[SideShow Bob]

Apparently blind old ladies double as scarecrows.

What ? Tell the neighbor lady that you are going to help her cross the street, but lead er to the middle of your garden & leave her there ?

[OtterbatHellcat]

Displeased with progress on getting shocks ordered. Spotty communication, model deviation, specs not matching...bad vibe for that kind of investment.

I might just get some bilsteins for now and put the high end shit off for later...plus build time is 6 to 8 weeks out I think. I'm tired of looking into this stuff, I just want it done and done right.

6-9 weeks is too far out. Providing there's no other issues. You know how that goes. Slap the bilstiens on and call it good. There's 1 and maybe soon to be 2 shops down here that can assist finishing your project. Depending how large he builds his shop.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I dabble. Have the tiny Radian that I crash frequently. Currently down, last crash messed it up. Have a new chassis and need to either fix it or just get a new one and treat them as disposible.

[ChickNorris]

There has been 3 squirrels in as many days in the maple tree.

[Fentonite]

How ghetto is it to use my nail pouch to hold shotshells?

I’ve done the exact thing.

[Gman]

Redneck ingenuity.
Yeah, I started shooting while I was in high school with a basic single shot .22 rifle (Remington 514) that my grandfather could no longer use. My friends had tube fed semi-autos (Glenfields & Marlins).

We'd setup a bunch of plinking targets and my friends would blast away while I insert a shell, close the bolt, aim, fire, open/extract with the bolt, repeat. I hand-sewed a pouch together with heavyweight camo cloth, olive green nylon edging, a velcro top flap, with a belt loop on the back. The nylon edging held the flap open once the velcro was separated. Since the pouch had a wedge shape when open, the 22 cartridges had a tendency to sit bullet down. I could quickly grab a round by the rim without looking and stuff it in the chamber. Semi-autos can lead to a tendency of not making the shot count, so my friends would waste a number of shots and then they'd run out and scramble to reload. In the meantime, I'm destroying the rest of the targets one shot after the other. By the time they're ready to go again, the cans/bottles/golf balls are all destroyed and it's time to setup new targets. [Coffee]

[ChickNorris]

All females too which is weird.
If history is a predictor then there should be as many as 18 males showing up soon. Yep, average is 1 to 6 though that seems extremely unlikely.

[ChickNorris]

Might make for an interesting afternoon.

[ChickNorris]

Lovelovelove the weather today.

[ChickNorris]

Guess there won't be a squirrel horde after all.

[ChickNorris]

Okay, so 1 does not make a horde & it ran off before I could . . .

Scout?

[Gman]

Guess there won't be a squirrel horde after all.
If it was as windy up there as it was down here, the squirrels were probably just trying to hang on.

[ChickNorris]

If it was as windy up there as it was down here, the squirrels were probably just trying to hang on.

I wouldn't say windy. Light breeze.

[brutal]

Back 40 made me think of the TV show Dallas.

Did you know Dallas when aired in Germany was called Denver instead?

Source?

I was there 1981-1984 and do not recall that. However, memory is fleeting. What little TV we watched was usually more BFBS than German TV as we did not receive an AFN signal where we were.

Perhaps you're thinking of Dynasty which was a show set in Denver?

[ChickNorris]

Well, now its official, I'm old & remembering wrong.

But I was only 6 years old when Dallas first went on the air, 9 yo for Dynasty. Neither of which I wanted to watch but my Mom liked both.

So, yes it was Dynasty & not Dallas. Sorry for the bad info.

[Gman]

Life gets interesting past 40.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Jesus...interesting at least....ha ha.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I do have an enthusiasm for rc helis. One of these days.

I remember the thread you started about the cars, and those are cool too.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I dabble. Have the tiny Radian that I crash frequently.

I did this with the one that I did purchase several years back. I remember how much it pissed me off that I could fly the shit out of it on the game/sim....upside down and in circles around me.

Wasn't the case when money was on the line.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Okay, so 1 does not make a horde & it ran off before I could . . .

Scouting here has become infrequent. I think they communicate danger to each other.

LOL,

Wasn't trying to call you on it per se, just validating my own recollections.

Some of my time over there IS a big blur considering they didn't start doing urinalysis on us till I rotated back stateside in 1984. When I got there in '81, it was a one and done for a security clearance, then nothing for 3 years.

I dabble. Have the tiny Radian that I crash frequently. Currently down, last crash messed it up. Have a new chassis and need to either fix it or just get a new one and treat them as disposible.

Yea im moving more torwards electrics and multirotors. I've been flying RC plance since i was about 8. Just unpacked the stuff after a 3 year break and im trying to decide what to keep.

Any hos fly rc in dis bitch?

I do have an enthusiasm for rc helis. One of these days.

I remember the thread you started about the cars, and those are cool too. Ive done Heli's.......ok I've crashed 2 helis.[ROFL1]
Done cars and trucks too but the air is just a different world.

Yea Sims are misleading, for planes they come pretty close but helis are a pib for sure (pain in da bitch)


By end of 2020.

Take me with you please, I travel light witb only a wife, 2 dogs and probably a kitten soon.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Where is TBD.

Talk with GK....and, yours truly. We have an idea.

[Mazin]

In the meantime any ho's need some gas airplane motors? I only got 26 with only one plane left running gas. I might keep 3-4 but my grandfather hooked me up with his collection and dont need to hold on to them any more. Decommissioned 5 planes so im offically down to 5 that are rtf. Man tech has changed a ton in that relm! Thought my DX7 transmitter was the shit........now its DSMX, luckly they are backwards amd forward compatable with DSM2

[OtterbatHellcat]

Heya Mazin !

I'd love to get my shit together and be able to rc a heli. That would be cool.

[Mazin]

Where are you guys buying your stuff? I found most shits coming out of HK nowadays. Went to helipal dot com and they have a ton but shipping is crazy expensive. Hobby king, towerhobbies and horizon is all i remeber anymore. Btw RC forums are dead too. Wattflyer is almost dead and RC groups suck, rc universe is even slow.

[Mazin]

OBC brudda get some shit together and we will go fly! I'm renewing my AMA and my MAS (brightons RC club) memberships next month and should have access to their field soon (just past 120th and tower). If you want to get into planes or quads let me know!

[OtterbatHellcat]

I think once the fucker was off the ground I'd be okay, but every time I attained lift off speed, the thing wanted to eat shit and flip over right into the ground.

I got frustrated fixing it and donated it to goodwill.

[Mazin]

Lol dude that sounds like my heli experinces, try to spoll it up to trim and the minute it hits the air it was all over. Just a different flying logic. With planes you have glide (on most not all), you get into trouble with a plane you down throttle, helis you up throttle......i just think i dont have a heli flying mind but quads imho are waaaaaay easier

[OtterbatHellcat]

I gotta finish this truck first, but I can totally be down with getting an air toy after that.

[Mazin]

Nice!!!! Let me know when your ready, i have a ton of kits and can make pretty nice flying wongs out of foam insulation board so its nice and cheep to replace.

On a mission from God

[wctriumph]

Thursday morning, back from the gym, I must have bent wrong of something. Big pain in RH lower back, right knee and sharp flashes of pain down the right leg. This is not good, took some extra strength aspirin and another cup of coffee.

[Mazin]

Sounds like a pinched nerve

[Great-Kazoo]

Sounds like a pinched nerve

or a stroke, especially at "his age"

[wctriumph]

Nope, not a stroke. The aspirin has kicked in and I can sit with little pain but twisting side to side is not happening. The wife will not be happy with her duty ...

[Gman]

Probably a peripheral nerve around L4.

It's sad when you can hurt yourself while sleeping. [Coffee]

[buffalobo]

Probably too much fence/deck building and landscaping...

[buffalobo]

Now that it has the side stairs and some stain on it, I can start the next section.

It will be the technical one. Have to incorporate the fence and a gate on to the deck.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190919/103a1711a990e21ce2cb778360e3a204.jpg

[MrAK]

With the pain you’re describing, I’d try doing cat / cow stretches, and regardless of my similar love for coffee I’d pass on your next cup and have a glass of water and banana instead.

[MrAK]

I should listen to my own advice as well, it’s going to be a long day getting this roof ready for inspection of the OSB.

[wctriumph]

No bananas on hand, could not finish the second cup and I have been drinking water. The aspirin has helped a lot and I do some stretching in a slow and determined manner. I can twist enough the the wife is very happy but left the house anyway, has to take the daughter some laundry detergent. I guess I will not be at the gym for a few days in any case.

[brutal]

Driveshafts tomorrow, and shocks that will work for now way the hell down SW part of town after work tomorrow. Not looking forward to that drive home.

Swing by my place in Parker with those LED's and have a beer to wait out the traffic...

Very nice, but why do you want to close it all in?

[Hummer]

Working on projects at the farm, I located and dug out the septic tank lids to have the tank pumped. It's been 24 years since I installed it so it was time. Everything is in good shape so it should be good for -- a lifetime.

It cost $320, about half of what it costs in the mountains of Boulder County.

After it was pumped I covered the tank with a 3/4 yard bucket of wood chips to help identify the location and make the next dig out a little easier. The soil was replaced, leveled and reseeded. One more project out of the way, yea!

Ever had moonshine pickles?


My husband has a still for making cleaning solvent to use around the house.

*cough cough wink*

[Hummer]

That isnt Oleander ... what is it?

The tree/shrub on the left is Chitalpa, a cross between Desert Willow and Catalpa. It has flowers like the Catalpa but blooms much longer from June to November. The hummingbirds use it heavily. I have four in the yard and will plant more next year.

Over the leach field are the low growing Desert Four-O'clock with their lavender flowers. The hummers, butterflies and bees use this, and Gambel's Quail sometimes nest under them. It's vine-like and all of it above ground dies off for the winter but the roots are deep and regrow each year.

Very nice, but why do you want to close it all in?Won't be closed in. Will have a post/rail fence section with gate at north end to match rest of fence we built this summer for the princess. Deck goes to north end of house and across to other side and back south as far as the section in pic.

Will post few more pics.

Working on projects at the farm, I located and dug out the septic tank lids to have the tank pumped. It's been 24 years since I installed it so it was time. Everything is in good shape so it should be good for -- a lifetime.

It cost $320, about half of what it costs in the mountains of Boulder County.

After it was pumped I covered the tank with a 3/4 yard bucket of wood chips to help identify the location and make the next dig out a little easier. The soil was replaced, leveled and reseeded. One more project out of the way, yea!


78983Every time I see the book cliffs I wonder about the erosion that created them.

Western slope views will always be the best.

Looking out from Lands End or from our place north of Eckert over Grand Valley, GRV and Colo Monument. We called it the Grand View and argued how far we could see.

Four rail post/rail fence with 5' chain link. GSD proof so far and rusticy for Mrs bo.

Picket/panel section is just temporary as I could not run post/rail fence to side of house until deck built. The post/rail fence will be incorporated into the deck and will have a gate in it to access rest of deck that wraps three sides of the house. Reba will have access to section of deck in back yard only.

A great fence for dogs but that won't keep the buffalo in. :p

[buffalobo]

Hopefully just keep them out. If we end up staying in Colorado we intend to raise buffalo.

That fence will be 4 rail upset tubing. [emoji106]

[buffalobo]

I keep telling Mrs bo, beasts in the yard are pets, beasts in pasture are dinner. She keeps trying to get more beasts in the yard.[emoji1786]

[ChickNorris]

We used to have a horse that would put his head through the open window almost everyday & made it most of the way in the house once too.

His name was Jett.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Swing by my place in Parker with those LED's and have a beer to wait out the traffic...

I'd be happy to swing out your way, Sir. It would most likely be on a Friday though. Have lights, will travel....more so just to say howdy in the process.

I did get the shocks picked up, and stopped at the driveline shop to settle up with them as well. Shafts are installed and they are beefy, Man.

Be another long saturday. :)

[ROFL3]

GFL with that. Guy east of town in NoCo raised buffalo, or was it bison, anyway..... 1 crazy thunder storm later they were still finding parts of his herd between cheyo & torrington. Some out along the NE panhandle. Lightning hit in the pasture, they said screw this and ran and kept running..

I was just telling the puppy yesterday that he's essentially livestock and that I bought him. I told him that if he keeps acting up, we could eat him. [Sarcasm2]

Time to mow the yard.

Just not really feeling it right now.

As the dust from the recent shock intention settles, I am faced with unexpected fabrication again. Certainly manageable, just a pain in the ass. Bilstein doesn't have a stud/stud shock that goes 31-1/2 full extension, only stud/bolt.

I've got the fronts figured out pretty good...probably 3 hrs. I figure. Rear is kind of a mess that I need to read up on some stuff about.

Did get the other brake line adapter I needed, so I can finish plumbing all that and get it bled when I have some help. I still need to dig that gizmo out of the master cylinder rear line for the disc conversion.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Funny, .... I ordered and picked up the shocks. Never thought to ask the guy what color they were.

Of course the boxes have the traditional blue/yellow on em, and I thought....oh nooooo.

I was relieved they were brushed aluminum with black boots.... ahhhhhh.

Take off the boots. They just trap gunk.

It's just a road/trail cruiser and tow vehicle, but I've been happy with the 5100 Bilsteins on my Cummins.

P.S. rear disc... What are you doing for e-brake? Line lock perchance?

[ray1970]

Everyone knows the line lock goes on the front brakes. Makes for awesome burnouts.

[ChickNorris]

I noticed Tim K got a promotion. : )

[Grant H.]

I prefer brake lock outs for the rear. That way you can "drive" the burnout if you so choose.

A buddies toy (1967 C10 with an 850HP 6.2l LS) has line locks on both so he can do whatever he so chooses...

[OtterbatHellcat]

P.S. rear disc... What are you doing for e-brake? Line lock perchance?

This rear diff came out of an E-350. I have access to all the cables needed, and I will pilfer a left side cable that was somehow missing. I don't think it will be overwhelming to fab a similar frame rail bracket for the main cable, as the second cable operates off the first. The only trick on that is mating the new stuff to the old regulator and managing the excess cable in this application. With the lift involved, the excess isn't a bad thing.

If I can't use the OE regulator, I'll just mount the E series one in place of the OE. I should be able to make it work though, I'm gonna try at least.

There is one interesting thing about making a Frankenstein Vehicle.....remembering which parts you used from what to get replacements for later. Ha!

[OtterbatHellcat]

Um yeah...I need front pads for a 79 F 250. Oh and some rear pads for a 02 E 350. There's a lot of E stuff mingled into this build.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I'm kinda pissed off my main way to get to work will be closed until monday morning. This I-70 bullshit project is nonsensical from inception....let alone the inconvenience in the meantime.

I'm waiting to hear back from a guy who is selling off his late dad's items. He had a machine shop and the son just wants to unload everything. One of the gunsmiths in the area said they did a good job of cleaning him out last week.
BUT. there's so much remaining it would take a day or 2 to sort out what he has in bins, as well as out buildings. Throw in the son has no interest in any of it and willing to take any offer, within reason for it.

The high powered rounds are rough on the little berm designed for rimfire.

Did a little work to it yesterday to try and mitigate the close range high powered use.

Roof is up and passed this last inspection. My body is sore and a bit wore out right now, but at least I don’t have to put up the ice barrier today.

Mowed........hoefully only one more time after the leaves fall and ill be done for the year.

[Erni]

On my way to the range I went to Murdochs and wanted to buy the BirchCasey 8" plate with stand. Money in hand, hey where is the plate. Oh that, sorry sold out a while ago. When are you getting it in? Not sure whenever our buyer something something..
Sigh. Remind me again what these stores are in business for?

Perfect morning to do some rc flying, damn i need to get the memberships covered so i can try to have some fun with all the stuff i have. Been 3 years since i flown any fixed wing stuff and over 2 for quads......

[Gman]

Glorious weather today. You guys are wearing me out with everything you've been doing. Took the pupper to the vet this morning for more shots and shhhtuff. He threw up in my fairly new truck...again. 3 times. I told my wife that I'm going to have to rename my truck to "The Vomit Comet". Doggo is tired/stressed out and so are we.

[wctriumph]

I've been binge watching Babylon 5 and Justified on Amazon with my wife. We never watched Justified when it was originally on and my wife had never seen B 5 before. It took about 5 episodes for her to get hooked on B 5.

Gonna spread some Red Breeze this morning then spend rest of day abusing the small berm in my back yard and finishing up some builds/mods and get sighted in.Lucked out, "gravel" went down quick and easy. Was on the range by 1030 and finished by 1230, finally a good range day all around. Both rifles run like they should, on paper and ready to go rifle distance.

Pleased with the AR, gonna try and get optic on it this afternoon.

Hunting has been a real bust. I did go home and get my daughter though. We're camping two nights on very short notice.

Broke my phone all the way, drove all the way back home (the second time this week), to the store and I had to turn I am insurance claim and buy the cheapest pre-owned phone they had in order to lane the store with a phoneandget back to the mountain. Temp phone won't even run OnX.

Random thought after looking through the trading post...

Is reloading dying off or is the economy just that poor?

Some damn good deals on nice presses, and they aren't getting snapped up like I would have expected.

I guess the third option would be that everyone already has their reloading setups and doesn't see a need to upgrade...

Who knows, just thinking out loud...

[OtterbatHellcat]

Shit, I haven't looked in there for a while now. Your guess is as good as any I suppose, I already have duplicate single stage stuff and many dies as well.

Also, all my stuff is in storage and worthless to me for the last couple of years. Need to get it all set up again this winter.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Got the shocks completed today, and the brake lines as well. And trimmed out the carpet on the back of the cab too.

I'm really getting tired of drilling large holes in frame rails though....probably the last time for a while, I hope. Just gotta get goo in the diffs and Tcase, bleed the brake system....and bang!!! ...take that thing on a test drive around the block for real and see how it feels. Check steering, acceleration, stopping, handling and all that. I'm pretty excited to do that.

No it's not. Just hard for some to justify reloading (from scratch) when you ca buy ammo for under $250 per thousand, delivered.
However, IMO, those who are comfortable buying ammo, vs reloading. Might be in for a surprise as 11/2020 nears. If a R doesn't keep the WH. Ammo will be back $ $500 per 1 k pricing and reloading components will be a matter of knowing your local reloading store.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Yeah, we CV'd front and rear shafts. I did what the man told me do.

Thanks Brutal.....it's been years to get it this far. I have another pic of that drop pitman.

[OtterbatHellcat]

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

The OE system sucked to begin with, the drop pitman is kinda creepy...and I reverse chamfered the steering arm to go top side.

If any of this set up feels retarded or unsafe, I'll order a right side knuckle machined for an adjustable drag link above the springs.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I do have new front brake lines, just haven't installed them yet or made the mod for the rear line from the master. I'll do that stuff and get it bled.

Fair.

It does cost money to get into, and doesn't necessarily save money currently, I'm just astounded to see Dillons for the deals that currently exist in the TP and curious.

Nice. Now I see why that kick up was needed in the rear.

Yeah. I kinda blew the measurements though, both the front and the rear are two inches below the frame rail. You get what I was trying to do....I'm very pleased with those pieces however, they are far better than any of the aftermarket products available.
