Simply awesome.
I had a problem with the dust and the ethanol. I wanted an easy way to solve the problem

Dang Hummer,
You could forage dry washes in the wet season with that set up.
That's great, glad I could help. I've had this idea for a few years but when I had to find another small engine repair shop I ran into the right man. Bill, at BC Small Engine Repair in GJ is a veteran repair guy. He might have thought I was a little nuts for wanting a snorkel air filter but he was with me all the way. We first talked about a water or oil bath filter but it might have been messy. He knew of a lightweight alternative, and he had the hose on hand.Quote:

Note, my pic shows the paper cut away but the filter should be reversed horizontally to allow air in from the vac attachment.
The hose is simply zip tied in place. I use a nylon paint strainer bag over the filter to reduce larger dust particles on the filter.
Thanks! Ideas and technical know how came together. Somebody could make big bucks on it.....Quote:

Note the rivets and black silicone. Fit the cover securely as the original.

Kinda like my aluminum canoe that has balloon tires. Wait for desert flooding to ride the washes, then when the water tapers off, just roll the canoe across the desert sands. Right out of Edward Abby.Quote:

Purchased from member here. Always wanted taller safe. Rented a 1500# stair climber dolly to move it. It was an adventure.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6c928566f1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...24121a64d9.jpg
Nice safe. Good for you!
Cool rear seat driver ejector seat.Quote:

Of course, now that he has a new multi-speed bike with much bigger tires, he wants to go places my Florida beach cruiser won't comfortably take me. So I bought myself a new bike. Owned it less than an hour when this happened:

That's not a folding bike?Quote:

did the bike respect you in the morning, after the break in of course ;)Quote:

Bought this recently (in excellent condition, owned by an older gentleman that took meticulous care of all his tools ... except his heart :(. His widow is a friend of a friend of my mother and she sold it to me for only $600 ... including a snow plow and only about 430 hours on the clock).
Just mowed with it for the first time (this is the first rider I've owned and first lawn I've owned that was big enough for one) and it did a great job ... but I am now jealous of all my neighbors with their ZTR mowers. Although I do think I'm going to want to buy a grass catcher for it.

When I told my friend Justin about it, he said his father just replaced the Cub Cadet he bought in 1977 this year ... so I doubt I'll be getting a ZTR of my own any time soon.
Nice score!
(Sorry for the gentleman that won't need it anymore)
Those ZTR guys will be looking for you to plow their driveways. [Coffee]
I use Rotella in almost everything I own, including motorcycles. I was really excited when they came out with their Gas Engine line so I planned on using it on the other trucks next oil change. Just so happens that Advanced Auto had it on sale for $10.50/5QT, $2.50/QT. It?s Dexos II rated so I bought enough to do six oil changes for my truck and the old lady?s Terrain.

Also got the new trans cooler mounted in the work truck today. Dropped temps by 20*-30*.

Nice. I need to get some cameras for our vehicles. I really should stick one on my motorcycle too just to get cool footage of any near death experiences.
'guy just game me a mix of about 3-4 hundred cases and reloads of 45 Auto Rim since I own a 625 (so yhea, it's not really a "purchase").
I've always known about 45AR, but have never seen one in the wild in all my years of shooting. Kinda cool, an interesting thing to own.
Yes, I'm gonna pull the bullets on the reloads. Now I got to get a shell plate holder for it...
