lol, you can do mine next. it fell off the other that, needs air also.

 

 

 

So did the tire hoist fail?  Bolts come loose?  

 

I chose to use stainless steel bolts with lock nut washers.   I was also concerned the bolts may back out so I used the blue loctite.   

 

I am pretty impressed how my spare tucked under the vehicle from what appears to be very low visibility.

I passed up on a night of drinking with everyone in the backpackers here so I could wake up fresh to hopefully check out a van later this morning.

 

 I’m going to wait until 8:30 until I message the girl to give her a chance to sleep in a little as it is a Sunday after all.

Enchiladas were a bust. I always. Always forget to add fucking salt. I also had no peppers to put in that slow cooker. Haha. My chicken/ tortilla ratio was off but they weren’t THAT bad just not why I hoped for.

As a bit of impartial advice, you are best to consolidate all your creditcards into a single facility and get one with a decent reward point scheme in the process. Obviously whilst consolidating, you can then increase your limit to your total of however many cards you have and then get the benefit of getting the higher tier point rewards and other associated benefits (be it free travel insurance for flights booked via the creditcard or concierge service to book event tickets, hotels and such) that come with getting platinum cards and the like.

 

I wouldn't do this now as you just got your new limit installed and noting every credit check you have run on your ID affects your overall score, but is something to consider going forward.

@Mauler5150 good looks. 
this is part of the plan now that I am understanding this deal. 
 

7 yrs of outrunning the creditors. 

While gettin my kid through college I put everything In a lil storage and was able to reside in spare space of those who loved me plus a few years of re-establishing my entire life (after the age of 40).
This was not by design but lived through it to know it is possible to outrun ~40K in debt. It all fell off. Not having a home address or ever answering my phone helped.  
wiping the slate clean was an unexpected positivity during a period that had no uncertainty. 
my credit sits at +mid 700 and I’m being smart about it because I don’t have the time to do that shit again haha.

Not really sure what happened to you? But I think it was a work related injury? If so, does the business provide you company dope to smoke while you are out on injury leave?

Michaels had frames on sale, so I made a dent in the backlog of art-to-be-framed collection. 20230813_173921.thumb.jpg.16d84751c2073c03a568cf182d7686a0.jpg20230813_173908.thumb.jpg.cb851bc2fbb8a3cd941034467959c469.jpg20230813_173841.thumb.jpg.317c1009e9cb22ce03144cc7b0834a92.jpg20230813_173854.thumb.jpg.ac7e863eeb7e41f6eb2dbfd62649e1f0.jpg20230813_173828.thumb.jpg.dccc6cbbfc1bc13908daf4b9e65e5eb7.jpg20230813_173815.thumb.jpg.9bc57447c8d012e7785769481e9ae894.jpg

To add to this.  I am about to do the samething indirectly.   I am experiencing a coolant leak coming from the back side of the engine.  When I shut the car off, all that steam (pressure) is built up and my car pees coolant.  It's not coming from the heater coil behind the dash so I am good there, but coming from a hose.  It sucks because it's in a tight spot to work in so it's gonna be a simple but timely job to do.  But it's gonna be a pain to do.

Yeah.  The car is 30years young and some components are beginning to give out.  I wish I had was in a place where I could put it on a lift in a covered building so I could go to town on it at my leisure.  I would completely tear it down to frame and rebuild, more so resto-mod.  

 

Other than the leak, I think my next big job is gonna be the entire breaking system.  I am thinking wilwood.

Just finished up under the hood, well, more so under the car to find the source of coolant leak.  Thought I found the source so I tightened the drain valve.  Took it for a drive to build up hydrothermal compression, shut off the engine and the thing still peed coolant.  Further inspection, found the source right above the drain valve and discovered I am looking at a blown header gasket.   Thought I would let the the mechanic take care of but it's any easy fix and prefer to save myself a grand.
