What did you accomplish today?

Finished, as of today, with the remodeling project #1. Ordered garage doors from the local company here and the guy came out and installed them.

I thought the old doors were OK, but when the cold weather came, the wind went right through them. New are insulated since I insulated the rest of the garage and put in a gas heater.

Brown to match the exterior trim.

Unfortunately, brown on the outside doesn't mean brown on the inside.

Fuckers. I was thinking of just painting them but my electrician buddy knows a guy who does murals of anything. He puts them on a thin sheet of plastic and can lay them over any surface.

So I'm thinking of the Dark Side of the Moon album cover on one side and something else similar for the other side, for a little '70's pizzaz.

Have to touch up where the old door hardware and brackets were, and I'm finally done here after a long 11 months.

8 months over original estimate. Lol. Rome wasn't built in a day.

I accomplished not cutting down my bonsai sized first grow earlier than I should... Also. Made it another day of being a useless bag of flesh. Go me!
Pics of this bonsai?

i have no family left ........i have no one that is car smart with all the tools (got buddies that could do a few things small engines some light work on a car)

so i use my maxness ......i know almost every way weed can be used made into something and i know how to make shine .......so i gift it out in return ppl give me a lower price on what i need Barter ....the money is just so they do not get fired for doing it

i had them do everything the car possible needed .......fuilds lights brakes tires filters senors .....everything was checked out .....i am going to do 3000 miles in 4 5 days so i wanted to make sure the car was 100% no worries ......i do not want the car to break down on the trip and i did not want the cops to have any reason to pull me over
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
I prefer, If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Hope whatever those oil monkeys touched doesn't end up screwing you. Good luck!

That's a damn nice dresser in that bottom pic ;-).


Please excuse my recently developed furniture fetish, sorry.

I'm putting the electric sander away now.

I know right. Last time I used them the girl got in my truck and didn't pull back on the shifter and broke the spring as she yanked in drive. They refused to pay for it. The shifter assembly was 100 bucks. It was just a compression spring. Auto parts store didn't have them said I had to order the whole thing. Went to the hardware store and found an exact match for 30 cents. I took about 20 back to the parts store and said "here, these will fit gm shifters they are 30 cents. Mark them up to five bucks."
I had a lifted s10 with 33's, I went there for an oil change. They put my tires at the door stickers 28psi. I almost lost control pulling out of their parking lot, like driving on marbles.. ass hats. When I asked why they touched my tires, they said they did a multi-point inspection and topped off my fluids. I asked with what, I had all synthetics fluids, they said... uh fluid. Cost me a couple hundred to change all my fluids again, I wasn't letting them touch it again.

For someone going on a long trip and doesn't know anything about vehicles it wouldn't hurt to get checked out. I do all my own repairs and maintenance just so I know it is done right.

Its like all oil shops. Some have some knowledgeable people working for them. Some have ass hats that have no business touching a vehicle.

I would do it.
Changed all the filters last weekend & she wouldn't start - preliminary investigation showed the HFCM was dry & pump not running during key cycle. Tore it apart on the bench & it had a bunch of sludge/paraffin in it - after cleaning the pump bench tested good but I didn't really like the sound of the motor. It's working well since but I don't trust it so it gets the hook when the new one gets here.

Before you guys talk shit about how dark it looks, this is what a smaller amount of it looks like pressed thin

I'm gonna talk shit about how dark it is anyway. You won't dodge that.

(I recently opened a tub of extract that went in the freezer the color of Mtn Dew. It now looks like real old Coke. So know the shit is recycled.)
