My left knee hit the door and took a couple of months to heal.

Ouch !

We got snow, and I cleared the driveway, a bunch of sidewalks and the road 2 houses into the sub.




I have to go down to my kids house today and do her snow, got a little over 7 inches and it's a heavy wet snow.

I had to break out the big blower last night, the little one was struggling too much.

You are battling snow and I'm hoping to go pick up my dads refreshed Dixie boat to drop in the river tomorrow.




It was supposed to be a Christmas present but repairs were a bit on the in depth side.

That's a nice snow blower, Phil. Looks like a Toro?

A couple years ago, I started modding my 20 ton hydraulic press. I added some casters, then welded some stops on the pins. Now I've 3D printed a permanent "release" **** for the 20 ton jack, and also printed a holder for the jack handle. Need to run over them with a little sand paper, and maybe buff them.... or just leave 'em. LOL

I think these would work on the 12 ton too.... not 100% certain though.



EDIT: Someone posted this on the Fox Body page.... I had to share...

oh boy, guy towed in an 03 4.6 that he took the cams out of to find a noise, and wants us to put it back together, i quoted everything timing component wise, he gave us the go ahead, that's not a cheap bill especially no guarantees that the truck will even run correctly when its back together

That's always fun.... my Buddy used to charge them more when people would bring him a trans that is disassembled. A couple times he had people bring him a box full of parts, and then he'd have to piece it all together to figure out what was wrong.

Replaced my front brakes on my Fiesta ST at 51k. Went with Motorcraft rotors from Rock Auto. 2 for $75 to my doorstep including shipping, tax etc. Got EBC Red Stuff from a contest on the Fiesta forum. Soo much better than the grinding that was starting to happen due deep grooves in the old rotors. I've read that these Red Stuff pads do not have the initial bite of the stock pads but in my case, I feel like the initial bite is stronger. I had to re-calibrate my foot so I don't put myself through the windshield. In the pic you can see where the outer and inner portions of the rotor were contacting the pad backing. Unbelievable how loud and obnoxious that got real quick. Now braking is so smooth as long as I remember to use gentle pressure.
