Few pics from the car hauler gif today. There will quite possibly be more, as we found more issues while working on it.

Thanks for the info! I’ve not yet had a chance to actually get to fiddling with it. I’ve got a 13 month old and my wife is like 40 weeks pregnant and I work all the time. Wild times over here lol when I do get to it I’ll be sure to find the telegram! Thanks!

The work wagons on standby. I’ll be taking the truck today, gotta help Evan on repairing a car hauler. I’ll be the assistant, doing the grinding and rust removal so that he can get them sweet sweet beads laid down. Could I make some pretty welds? Sure, but I’ve spent far too many years not caring about pretty lol. He’s almost OCD about it whereas I’d be saying a lot of “eh, that’s good enough.” Lol

Thanks! I’m gonna do a nice walk around video once we get it knocked out. Luckily she’s getting someone else to finish the screened in porch and the electrical, which doesn’t hurt my feelings at all lol

My mother in laws’ Kia sorento spent months in the dealership because of an issue in the transmission control firmware. Fuck that. That’s why I’m so stoked about just getting my dad’s 92 F250 with a 7.3 IDI. One wire and some used motor oil and she’ll run lol

Little bit chilly this morning, had to throw on my lightweight hoodie to go load the trailer for todays job. Rained over night so that didn’t help. I’m ready for fall but hope NC doesn’t pull a fast one on us and go straight to winter lol

So, got to a good stopping point on that patio way sooner than I expected, leaving today (Sunday) clear. It’s also a pretty good chance of rain today so I guess that works out. Wife’s family is giving her a small baby shower for baby 2 (didn’t do a big thing cause we just had a big one literally last year lol), so after about noon I had nothing going on. Hit up my boy Evan last night and we made a plan to try and make some storage behind the seat in the F250. Hopefully it’s something we can put together relatively quickly. The packout fanboy in me was sorely tempted by the idea of mounting a bunch of the packout wall stuff to the back of the cab, but I don’t think that’s quite gonna work for what I want. To me, behind the seat gear is stuff you reach in and grab the item you need, think hammer, jumper cables, gloves, knee pads, struggle sticks (adjustable wrenches) etc. if I did a packout wall, I’d have to hang organizers and stuff and then would have to pull out a whole box, set it down, open and then get the item I need. Shelves are the way to go I believe.

There’s so many of these things out there. I’m cool with some mitigation (like exceptionally sharp corners) but at some point you gotta recognize that part of being a kid is getting banged up and bruised. It’s literally how you learn to have balance and situational awareness. Nobody said it was fun either lol

And this is where the patio shall remain until the new pool is put up. Not sure what tomorrow’s plan is, but Monday I gotta go crawl around an attic and move some dirt at another house.

I think of Greta every time I crank my diesel, especially if I have put some motor oil in the tank recently.

The patio as of yesterday. Just hauled 300 more brick for it today, gotta grab more sand in the morning and then continue on.

Damn right. At the very least a fully parallel economy but neither currently exists in a way in our area to have made anything less than giving my daughter a cross to near her whole life
