8675309'SS Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Locked myself out of my house. So just sitting on the deck enjoying the weather. Wish I had a beer..... falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcaineer Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Saw this yesterday. Laughed. He's either really, really worried about door dings, or is just showing off. Then, saw this today. Laughed again. Jeep people...... avimore, Mariner, ocdrifter and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Replaced the spark plugs and wires on my wife’s Fiesta. Car had all original plugs and wires at 110k miles so it was due. Plug number one had a gap of .050 when it was supposed to be .032, and plug number 3 was covered in fuel. Needless to say I believe it runs better now! falcaineer, ocdrifter and 8675309'SS 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianT Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Got the Firebird pulled out from the back of the garage and washed off a years worth of dust, dirt and god knows what else! Felt real good to take her out again! falcaineer, Captain Slow, mc2hill and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Pennsylvania no longer requires registration stickers on their license plates so when I printed off my new registration today, I took the plate off the car and removed the sticker, waxed the plate, and cleaned and waxed the car where the plate belongs. It's just a nice clean PA plate now. No green and white sticker in the corner any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 ^^^Nice. Agree with Chris. I like the black. Looks good, Dustin. Looks really good! Thank you! It’s been a project I’ve been wanting to do forever but the company that makes these overlays charges an extravagant amount and it took me a while to justify the cost to my wife... and myself as well honestly. It’s the simple things that make the difference falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathews31 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hey, thanks to every one of you for all of your concern , thoughts, and prayers. He's a mess to look at, but everything went well, and hopefully he'll be back in his apartment living the single life soon. Going to have to scalp the other side of his head now since they only took the hair off half of his head. That, or dye it purple and drop his pants to his butt. 21192199_10210391861453164_8929812130191605988_n.jpg Glad to see it went well thank God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PacificNWBuckeye Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Got my new rear bumper installed on my Dakota yesterday, after a little runaround from the person's insurance company that rear ended me. I got them to just pay me out and I bought a new bumper online and put it on myself. Not sure why it was going to take them a week to do it at a body shop.

BrianT Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Washed both the Grabd Cherokee and the Durango! And of course used Gaurd and Gloss! I also put the Firebird back in her resting spot in the back of the garage. I'm hoping I'll hav her back out in Nov. before the snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Swapped out all my exterior flood lights with LED lights. Old owner had used interior flood lights outside and I didn’t realize it until I busted one while moving my ladder around the windows while boarding up for the hurricane. Turns out that broken lightbulb was the only hurricane casualty at my house... as my wife LOVES to point out. Regardless, the LED floods are a nice upgrade at $11 a bulb. 8675309'SS and ocdrifter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcaineer Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Spliced a Cat 5e (yes, I know it's dated, but that's what's there) cable at a rental property of ours. Some critters...squrriels?...got into the attic space above the garage and munched on the cable, lessening the quality/speed of service via DSL. Cut the wire out, installed two female ends, then ran a patch cord in between. Full throughput + Smiling tenants = Success! Mariner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) About time, now all you have left to do is Garage LEDs , then you’re done lol. Check it out my friend. This is just the beginning but huge shout to Dan Wolf for his engineering wisdom and brainstorming to help me install and wire in my new Utilitech linkable leds. I still plan to work down the sides of the garage once I get more lighting funds but here’s the start, and it’s already a 1000 times better than the old single fluorescent fixture there was before.

BRZN Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Had the PA State Inspection and Emissions Exempt done on the GTO. It ran out at the end of September! Whoops... Guys at the garage I take it to were all full of questions, from is it a re-spray from stock, to was it wet sanded, to how the heck did you get it like that! Adam's I tell them, Adam's! Oh, and I get it inspected at an Auto Body Shop! 8675309'SS, LFairbanks, falcaineer and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8675309'SS Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Took my car in for some repair and maintenance. Then I moved about 1000 lbs of pea stone to get hauled away. My car desperately needs a wash...but my arms and back are not in agreement with my mind about that idea, right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
