What are you doing today?

BC backroader · Jan 2, 2016

Got my free birthday Dennys grand slam breakfast this morning, then headed out this afternoon with a bunch of 4 wheeling buddies and our families to enjoy a backwoods cookout to celebrate both my BD and start the New Year right. We went to the same place as last year, the Chehalis River campsite/day use area, and enjoyed smokies and hot drinks till about 6, by which time even the big campfire wasn't doing too much to ward off the -4c temps.

Making jerky for my FIL's birthday.

Installing laminate flooring in my son's room. As soon as he wakes up, that is.

Spent a few hours this morning repairing one of my retro headlights. The black gear for the vertical adjuster broke free, and the stationary mount started to break loose, pulling a good section of the base with it, causing a nice semi circular crack.

JB Welded the stationary mount, front and back. Hope that holds, and I don't have to pull the reflector bowl again.

Managed to get the brass screw for the vertical adjuster stuck in the black gear, from testing to see how well it would seat by tapping it in place with a hammer before going to the adhesive route. Opted to try using a 3" machine screw, which looked promising, but I couldn't thread the nylock nut on to keep the screw in place. Back to the brass screw. Drilled a hole in a piece of scrap MDF, threaded the screw into it, and used the claw from a hammer to pop the gear back off, which thankfully didn't get any damage.

Threaded the screw into the headlight, seated the gears in place, put the headlight on the floor and tapped the screw with my hammer a couple of times, and now it's good as it was before. Planned on doing actual retrofit stuff this morning, so much for that :hopeless:

Carlos is on his way over now, we're going to remove the head unit in his XUV to get a stuck CD out. Chill for a few hours, then head out for wings and UFC tonight. :2thumbsup:

Donated the volvo to the NVSF. So they came to pick it up today. I get a $500.00 tax right off which is nice.
Now to do some car shopping. The chevy cruze is still on my mind.

dmanns67 · Jan 2, 2016

Did a little admin work from home this morning. Picked up around the house. Still need to take both Christmas trees down and store all of the decorations. Probably do that tomorrow.

Now just relaxing and watching some movies.

Capote · Jan 2, 2016

Went with my girl to her mom's

Matt · Jan 3, 2016

Watching my son in his end of year bowling tournament today then going to work at Lowes.

xavierny25 · Jan 3, 2016

Back to work for me today.

BC backroader · Jan 3, 2016

Going to visit my Sweetie in the hospital this AM. She collapsed while dressing yesterday morning. EMTs were there in 10 min from my 911 call, and suspected a heart attack, so transported her to our local hospital immediately. Tests show no heart problem (she did have an attack a year ago), but indicate that a UT infection and pneumonia combo knocked her down. She'll be in for a few days, but hopefully home and well soon.

Matt · Jan 4, 2016

Sorry to hear BC. Hope she's on the mend!

Blckshdw · Jan 4, 2016

Post vacation cube life. Weather took a big dip over the weekend, so for once it's warmer in here than it is outside. No hoodie needed. Still no work for me to do, so have to find some busy work to keep me occupied.

fletch09 · Jan 4, 2016

looking for the phone # of my paint-less dent removal guy.
discovered yesterday that some a**hole but a dent in my wife's 2014 Buick Verano's trunk. :hissyfit:

it's at a height that it was prob. a grocery cart. or a fat ass that pushed up against it. (metal on the cars is so thin now) no scrathes, or cracked paint. hopefully it can just be pushed out.

djthumper · Jan 4, 2016

Way to start the first week back to work in 2016.

smt 59 · Jan 5, 2016

Worked today and now home chilling, making arrangements to have my wheels balanced as there is a little vibration at higher speeds.

Matt · Jan 6, 2016

Home with my son today...they go back to school tomorrow, so we're going bowling this morning, taking down the Christmas tree and then doing FA. Looks like no truck tonight, so I've got that as well.

Blackwater · Jan 6, 2016

No jackpot for me, but I did win a whopping $4!! :biggrin:

So I'll be rolling the dice and putting that towards another ticket.

Matt · Jan 8, 2016

Farking off from work at 11.30 today and going to the cabin with my wife for some mummy and daddy time this weekend.

xavierny25 · Jan 8, 2016

Going to be working on the brother-in-laws tbss today. I just picked up a brand new acdelco throttle body for him for $195. Me and him are happy about that. Last night I was searching and couldn't find any for under $220 shipped. Wish me luck on this. His truck is barely past 50000 miles and the throttle body failed. It's kinda hard to believe. But I'm still going to check out the wiring and so on.

dmanns67 · Jan 8, 2016

Last day of the work week for me. Weekend work was cancelled :celebrate:

Running some errands tonight after work. Watching the Bengals beat the Shitsburgh Squealers on Saturday. WHO-DEY!

xavierny25 · Jan 9, 2016

Doing some wrenching on the father-in-laws 04 saturn ion. It's only got 26000 miles on it and is in almost new condition. But the coolant light has been coming up. He's never mentioned it to me and after going to a mechanic about the issue they slapped him with a $400 bill for replacing the coolant tank which has 1 sensor. The issue is still going on so after some research I diagnosed it as a the coolant sensor at the block. If it is I'm going back to the mechanic to get his money back.

dmanns67 · Jan 9, 2016

Relaxing today since it has been cold and raining all day. Currently watching the Bengals continue their postseason trend :no:

What are you doing today?
