Was that your machine you sold? I've never had one of those.

Best remake of Talk Talks ever.....

 

[squiggy]

I got an Excal. Before I decided to get the Excal, a friend let me use her Sand Shark for about 2 weeks.
I racked up on some rings in those 2 weeks! I have a back-up Excal also, if I need another back-up water machine, I'm going to get the Sand Shark, they are one tough little machine!

 

[squiggy]

Why did you decide to get the Excal?

After using the SS, a guy at the beach let me use his Excal for a few minutes, to get the feel and listen to the sounds, I really liked the Excal, and yeah, there's the plus of not having to dig all the iron. My friend was always buying batteries for hers, I prefer rechargeable batteries. I've been told the SS don't work as well on rechargeable batteries (but I don't know firsthand).
I figured, why go with the beetle bug, when I could have a Cadillac! LOL!

And to think,
All this time I thought Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks were men. Goes to show what I know.

GIB,

Just noticed your charter membership, congratulations! Looks like you have been AU24K'ed.

[pippinwhitepaws]

so that is who is passing out charter memberships?

thank you AU...

 

[AU24K]

Yes,
I'm guilty....

I surely wouldn't be able to do so without the generosity of "silent partners"
who have PM'ed me and sent contributions.

Thanks!

An Idea for the next or upcoming Charter Membership prize could resemble a contest Tnet had back in 2007.
(Actually, the contest was NOT sponsored by Tnet; Tnet only "tolerated" it.)

My attempt was post #344.
Without re-reading the OP, I couldn't tell you what the "prize" was.

Something like this contest, Tnet-wide,
having "Crispin's Critters" the mentioned benefactor,
would be a "crowd-pleaser," due to people's competitive spirit.

Of course, a paid Charter Membership would certainly add to the participation....

Anybody have any ideas?

Best Wishes,

Scott​

cat,

One last tune.....I see to recall you like this one...

Jennifer Warnes - Bird on a Wire.

FYI, sorry all for being so quiet lately.

Just picked up a trail rig and I have spent the past 2 weeks turning a wrench trying to get this beast (more) road worthy.

It is a 1997 Ford F350 Powerstroke turbo diesel, 4x4. So far I have done general maintenance and replaced the shocks (only broke 1 bolt). I am having the rear spring hangers shured-up (braced) this weekend due to some frame rot. I just pulled a nice front fender at the you-pull-it this weekend. Sourced a new bed for it this week so once I get the other fender, it is going to a local body shop with the parts for the frankenstein build to get this truck looking nice (lots of rust). Already ordered all new front end parts (tie rod ends) and will be getting it aligned once those get installed.

I havent been so cut up, bruised, and sore in a longggg time. Wish me luck!

LUCK...
fords are sturdy...
just a hint...hit all the undercarriage bolts with some penetrating oil...even if you have no intention of twisting on it yet...

The FIRST thing I purchased after buying the truck was a big can of Aero Kroil!

Life saver on this rusty old truck for sure...

Ben,
Though I'm adept at most all aspects of mechanical maintenance, with a fair amount of specialized ability,
I HATE working on vehicles!

I'd rather get all up in a fist-fight....
At least I can swing back....

And don't cha hate the "knuckle-busters" ya get from cheap tools?

Goodness! I wish I had a dollar for every tool I've thrown
into the woods for some future treasure hunter to find!

I wish you my best...

Last work I did, was to replace the clutch, pressure plate and throw-out.
No lift.
On my back.
During winter.
No help.



Yes, I paid the extra dollar-two-ninety-eight for the better quality product,
So I don't have to do this again for a looooong time!



So, bring me a fist-fight instead.

Best,

Scott​
