    Crap. Had to refuse my AMD order.

    Main floor folded over, transition pan had a bent up corner. Firewall looked ok but I refused the whole order. Hope they get me replacements soon.

    Just ordered $1200 worth of AMD sheetmetal for my Notch.

    New full floor pan, new back hump pan, and new firewall. This boy is stoked!

    New floor pan: Should I get from AMD, Jegs, or Summit?

    Getting a new full pan for the Notch. Looks like it's about the same price+shipping between the 3.. any horror stories to stay away from one, or any deals from one of them I'm not finding? Thanks, Ron

    Bought a 'new' parts getter.

    2010, V6 4 spd auto, 3.92 SG rear. 220k miles. Runs great. Trans is a little slow to engage in reverse. Tires almost new. Was a local electrical company truck. They're known for following factory maintenance, and washes often. For a 10 yr old truck in Wisconsin, rust is very minimal. $1,500...

    Been learnin' a new machine the last couple weeks.

    Got a good deal on a Brother CS6000i a couple weeks ago. Been doing a lot of reading, watching videos, and learning. I'm at the point where I have enough for me and my family. I'm gonna start cranking out masks for the medical workers around here that need them. As a side note, I'm also...

    The boy did it!

    I had my doubts the last 12 years, but he got it done.. proud of this guy. School had a drive through graduation today. Was the first graduation I've been to that didn't take 3 hours.. didn't miss sitting through endless speeches, lol. He lettered 4 years in hockey and golf.. yes, he's Happy...

    Finally gonna do something with those damn doors.

    I've had about 7 or 8 house doors floating around in the garage for the past 10+ years.. the wife uses them every year for a rummage sale she has (uses them for tables). Told her I'm not moving them anymore, we can get fold up plastic tables if she needs them. Broke out my saw and going to make...

    Got tired of messing around with gas weed whackers.

    Bought a Remington battery one. Delivered yesterday, let the kid open it up and put it together.. he's excited, seems like a nice setup. Waiting for the battery to charge a bit. Anyone else use electric ones? Seems like it'll be nice not to have to worry about mixing gas, separate gas cans...

    I've been a 3+ pack a day smoker for 35+ years. Haven't had a smoke for 45 hours.

    And trying to quit for good. Hardest thing I've ever done. Hour at a time. Every hour is a win. I can't really tell the kid to make sacrifices with his life without making my own that he can relate to, so here I am. Drinking beer is another thing.. but crap, I need something, lol.

    Been busier than a one legged man in an *** kicking contest. Hope you are all doing well.

    Just wanted to say, I haven't had time to be on here lately, much less working on my car. And I hope you are all doing well, and taking care of yourselves and your loved ones.

    Green painted water pump?

    Were any mopar engines painted this color? I found this in a box from when I parted out a '76 motor home a few years ago. Looks like it's been used by the gasket material scraped off on the back side, but seems good.. bearings seem fine. I don't know if it's factory paint.. some kind of...

    Working from home. This is the view to the left.

    If reincarnation is a thing, I want to be a fat house cat. :)

    Crisis averted.. no audio from the entertainment center.

    Wife flipped on the Blu-Ray player.. picture, but no audio. I flipped it back to cable.. no audio.. PC, no audio.. damnit. This is not the time for no sound from the tube.. stuck at home as we are right now. Unhooked the optical cable to the receiver, turned the tv speakers on.. got sound from...

    Working in IT. Now I'm the firefighter you see climbing the tower saving babies.

    Working IT is a lot like being a firefighter.. you're ignored, and often many ridicule you.. until they really need you. 'Why do you guys need a new $500K firetruck?!? All you do is wash it!" "Why do you need a new $200K SAN? Stuff works good now!" Much like the firefighter, who you rarely see...

    LAN gaming. I knew there was a reason I kept this old stuff.

    I saw this quarantine stuff coming a month ago, and started doing things to keep us occupied. Found my old installs of MOHAA, Battlefield 1942, Command and Conquer, and installed it them on all our PC's. 10-15 years ago I used to run LAN gaming stuff a lot.. not unusual to have 6 or 7 people in...

    I was told there would be Zombies.

    I feel cheated. I was told through many movies the end of days would include zombies I could dispatch in many hilarious ways. I've spent years perfecting my spud gun engineering and building skills. Keeping my stock of potato ammo fresh. Tons of old school Aqua-Net hair spray (propellant)...

    I need to do something..

    Wife and kid gone, so I don't have them to argue with, lol. Tired of the doom and gloom on the tv. So I grabbed the headlight assemblies from the Cuda out of the garage, gonna scrub off the over spray the PO left me, and maybe a bit of the rust. Chase, the resident fat *** cat, seems to want to...

    Tom Hanks has Coronavirus.

    NO! “Hello, folks. Rita and I are down here in Australia,” Mr. Hanks said in a statement. “We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the...

    Who gives a crap about Coronavirus. I have this in my house.

    The 17 yr. old boy cleaned out his locker tonight, and brought home all his hockey gear. We have not seen this bag since last fall. After dealing with boy hockey gear for 12 years, I am very afraid to touch this thing. The wife (trooper that she is!) will bravely haul this thing to the...

    Also in 1976.

    Damn, I remember walking for blocks pushing a mower and knocking on doors, lol. Did the same with snow shovel over my shoulder.

    Body panel assembly manual.. does it exist?

    I'm looking for a manual or drawings that show how all the body panels and parts join.. does anything like this exist? Which panels or parts go under another, etc.

    I told him 3 times to take off the goggles, and go to bed.

    From 2010.. the kid is graduating this year so I'm going back through old pics for the party this summer. So, he's about 6 in these pics. He ignored me, grabbed the dog bed and covered up. Ah, here's a Senior pic moment. He woke up an hour later. walked over to the neighbors house... I looked at...

    Seatbelt question: What year required shoulder belts?

    My '69 Barracuda notch didn't have any seat belts in front when I got it. The headliner, which may be original (if not, it's at least 15 years old) has no holes for the shoulder mount. I can feel through it though where the mount should be, and it seems like it's there. Were shoulder belts...

    That scream. I'll never forget it.

    My kid, 8 years ago. It was his 11th goal of the season. Wearing #11. #11 was special to him. The years before, he didn't care what number he wore. That fall, a family friend of ours lost his life in a motorcycle accident. His race car number was #11. D, the guy who we lost, loved Dom's...

    Printed out some bedtime reading material :)

    Wife punched the holes for me and put in a binder I got at the thrift store for a quarter. :) I still have to mark the chapters with some masking tape tabs. I don't know about you, but I sure as hell like a book I can look at right next to me when I'm working on something and make notes on...

    SAD..Seasonal affective disorder.. how do you northern guys deal with it?

    I always used to think this was just baloney lazy bullshit. I'm in central Wisconsin.. go to work in the dark, sit in a office with a small window up above my head I can't see out of. Leave in the dark. When I get home, I just want to eat, and go to bed. No ambition. Lots of thoughts during the...

    Reading through RRR's post , and YY1's reply. Thought I'd share a thing my local shelter does.

    RRR's post: Lost A Good Cat Today Link to the program my local shelter started up. If your local shelter doesn't do anything like this, maybe suggest it to them. Working Cats Program - Marshfield Area Pet Shelter Tell them Friendly sent you.
