What Did You Do In The Garage Today?

[NC Boy Scout]

Recently traded the Ram in on a Tacoma. Ram was more truck than I needed.
Yesterday I was checking fluids etc under the hood and found where Wrens had started building a nest. Cleaned that out naturally, and went today to make sure they hadn’t started over. No nests but something shiny caught my eye.
I may be the first person in HISTORY to actually FIND a 10mm socket.


Definitely need to keep this truck. It’s good luck.
Oh, the birds may not have started nesting again but they did crap all over the passenger side door and window

Pics of the truck before anyone asks.

Why is it we all watch a 10mm socket slide into the engine compartment never to be found? The truck will look good on you.

Added this bed cover to the ol work truck
I posted a few pics in another thread a few months back when it was in primer so got it back from paint/body about a month ago. Window tint next then pretty much ready to cruise around!

Bought a used hitch for my Scion XB. Pretty sure I can pull a 18’ trailer or 21’ boat now.

Worked on the Zero turn, front tires, other
half decided to mow the fenced in area where
the pups run / play, she brings it around to the garage when she's "done mowing" says I noticed the front tire was like it was gonna come off, so it was flat, loose, could spin the tire on the rim, no bead, so fixed both front tires, saved bout $125, didnt say a word the whole time, shake my head or nothing, cause we all know what happens...I'll leave it go at that...have a great day

Oh and she must of run through every "dog patty" out there

I think you're going to need to step up to a 2-5/8" ball for the big loads.

Finally finished the felt and rubber on all the roll up windows on the Grand Wagoneer. I moved it over to the lift so we can do fluids and start working on other stuff. I was able to tidy up the shop before the next projects start.

My grandson was jealous of his older sister, learning how to make stuff in my shop. He wanted to know when he could make something. I asked what he wanted to make... no hesitation, "I want to make a gun"
I got all the programming done this weekend on the CNC. He will learn to load his material and tools, and hit the green button. I will also have him doing the sanding, gluing, screw twisting and finishing.

And now I have two other grandsons wanting one. We may have a party

Sounds like some good kids and some great bonding time. Also what a badass slingshot in pic.

Worked on the Jeep yesterday. Diagnosed and fixed no turn signal problem, broken hatch latch, fixed the battery terminals, burnt out brake light, broken grill piece, installed a new rear view mirror and installed the dash cam. Owning a 25 year old vehicle is fun.

Once the correct limited slip unit gets here Tuesday ( hopefully) time to give the c10 some rubber burning ability. Out with the pegleg 2.73 and in with the 3.42 limited slip.kinda more excited about seeing how the backyard rebuild on the 454 turns out. More so than my 440 Duster.
We have the radiator installed. After the rear end it is time for some ball joints and upper control arm bushings.
Then sort out or replace the qjet and see how long the transmission lives.

I got a good start on this this weekend

 

[Oldbaldy]

Took my jeep to the shop, got it fixed, paid for it, drove home. Boy that was easy!

 

[Cooolone]

Cleaned it, rinsed it, built ramps to allow me to get my one car in the garage. Is new place, rented sight unseen, so didn't know about the step step entry to garage. Tried getting my car in but it scraped bottom so went and got some 2x10's and made some ramps! Lol... What a pain, but got it done!

And oh, installed a security cam in there too...

Gonna be doing brakes, oil change and plugs tomorrow on my aunts 84 Monte Carlo. Was out today gathering everything needed. Sumbitch it costed 3 times what I was expecting to pay. This whole bidenflation has to stop. I'm no mechanic by a long shot but I'm glad I know enough to atleast do my own maintenance to save some money.

I work at an Autozone and we are doing price hikes every week. Supposedly inflation is only at 7 % but I've found out that its adjusted weekly if not more on car parts from China and has been for the past 3 years. Folks complain all the time but there is nothing I can do.

Replaced the carburetor in my circa 1985 Craftsman weed trimmer, I swapped the throttle shaft with the original so the linkage would work properly.
This model had attachments as options, I have the edger and it works great.
