Finally back on the #HugeDeck project, and to be real honest, after nearly a month of being at home with the wife and kids, my heart ain’t in it today lol. But, gotta keep mining that fiat or you fall behind, so here I am. Loaded up a trailer for the dump, still got at least another load on the ground waiting. There will likely be more as I finish off the fascia and the handrails also. Real close to having this job finished.

Ya know, I keep thinking I’m gonna lay out all my tools like this and take a family photo…but then I realize how long that would take, so this will have to suffice…

Have officially driven the diesel on 2 gallons of waste oil and about 16 gallons of diesel. Smokes a little more on start up (not gonna lie I kinda like it lol) but seems to run a little smoother and also seems to have a little more power. This is all purely anecdotal, but it’s definitely at least as good as straight diesel, and honestly probably a lot better for the specific engine I have because ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel) isn’t ideal for engines from 1992. The front tank has 3 gallons of waste and about 17 gallons of ULSD. Gonna do some experimenting and see what the best ratio is to maximize savings. So far it’s saved me about $40 in diesel. The filter system has almost paid for itself in just two tanks of fuel. Good shit.

Also, filter head and basic filters arrived yesterday for the coolant filter system I plan to add on the truck, and I’ve got a truck box meant for a Tacoma that I’m going to build a shelf in the bed for. I’m planning on building the truck out to be what I drive for metal work and automotive work, with basic tools for home improvement type work (I’m still planning a trailer for the home improvement stuff because it just takes up so much more space and is my main money, so being able to use either the F250 or the Pathfinder is ideal…now to find a 5x10 trailer that people don’t want stupid amounts of money for lol).

Here I was, just me and the eldest daughter. It’s 69 degrees F outside. I was gonna take her to run some errands and maybe hit a park for a while to tucker her out before my wife and mother in law got back with the youngest from the tongue tire revision, and she’s been out like a light for 2 hours now….hopefully she’ll rise here soon.

I too, have become such. And also varsity trash bag removal, cause for some reason they start smelling in about a day vs taking a couple. And we even put all the poop diapers in doggie bags to attempt to mitigate the smell.

Speaking of doggie bags…I gotta go buy more of those cause we go through them twice as fast now too….

Usually they were the ones breaking up with me. If you get far enough into knowing me I’m fairly easy to get along with, in a way. I was also basically an old man in a 22 year old body, I worked all the time and just wanted to be at home and work on my own projects lol.

I mean, this was when I was in my late teens/early 20’s, so it was more open ended. If it worked cool, it if it didn’t I wanted my $30 hoodie back dammit and didn’t wanna have to harass nobody for it. Lol

I went so far as to make sure the hoodies my girlfriends stole had my name embroidered on the chest (they always wanted the fire dept hoodies from when I was a volunteer) cause I was sure to get them back when we broke up lol

My 13 month old daughter grunts every time she bends over either because she thinks you’re supposed to or she’s making fun of me. Being she’s a redhead and also my daughter, either option is completely plausible.
