    Quick tow hitch

    While cleaning up one side of the shop, installing a pair of heavy duty metal cabinets, I found two tow hitch receivers. One has no plate under it, so I think I can slide it into the slot under the new winch......... something to play with next week.

    What are you doing today, spring time edition

    I know it’s near summer in southern areas, but a rainy spring here up north. Just turning on the lawn sprinklers, fire and run all the yard and garden equipment. Spent a day gathering branches, and started sawing a few downed trees, in the close acerage forest. Drug the land plane on all the...

    Still freezes every night, but the cool sunny days is a welcome thing. Most of the snow is gone.

    DOT tires for off road vehicles

    It’s pretty rocky, or “ gravely” here, so once things thaw, the water drains away quickly. I think I need to take the front wheel spacers off. The front tires do spray debris all down the doors. Another project, I don’t have time for

    DOT tires for off road vehicles

    I was able to get out on clear days, and test these tires in and on the snow. In 2WD, still a little loose in the rear, but in 4x4, it rode and handled awesome. Going to meet a few buddy’s tuesday at a little burger joint in town, about 10 miles away. Think I’ll ride it over for lunch.

    Winter weather anyone?

    I’m going to tempt faith, and remove the snow blower off the tractor. Snow and rain tomorrow, is called for, but it looks like a solid warming trend.

    Winter weather anyone?

    Looks like spring has finally sprung. Out wearing my sunglasses, and a tee shirt. There’s still lots of white stuff on the ground, but the sunshine is welcome

    Winter weather anyone?

    Not trying to aggravate you by saying I’m glad I’m not there. I grew up on the beach and spent 50 years there, raising my kids there also. The terrible changes that I have seen and had to endure in So Cal is truly disgusting. The filth, graffiti homeless and transients is what has ruined the...

    Removing rusty bolts

    I know every time I go to the people’s republik of Kali, to visit relatives, I’ll pick up a boat, motorhome, truck etc. not only are they from a clean dry environment, those folks just buy toys, and don’t use them! So many really almost new vehicles, that just sit around and get used once or...
