What fun project is everyone doing this weekend?
 

For me, I work Saturday and Sunday 9-1 boooo. Then after that, I'm pulling the ol' 2001 Silverado with the 5.3 into the garage to replace both my knock sensors. It's throwing the code and these engines I found are fairly known for having an issue with them. Then I hope to get to relax and kill some grass! We've gotten a good amount of rain this last week so that pesky green villain has grown pretty good. I get to do my usual routine of mowing the neighbor that pays me to do it (nothing better than getting paid to Cub :biggrin2:), then my yard and the empty lot next door. Should be a productive day!

So what's everyone else up to this weekend?

Service work and Yard work for me. :angry:

Being in HVAC, I'm imaging you are frequently on call. That's something I know a little bit about :bash2: Hopefully the hard work involves a Cub or two!

HVAC/R equipment don't know holidays. Had two "Def Com III, Super Nova Plus" calls on Walk-in Freezers in the last 24 hrs. Com'l Ice Machine and a Walk-in Cooler for this afternoon. Hopefully I can rest tomorrow.

Yeah I always feel bad calling guys after hours but sometimes you can't avoid it. I have enough stuff at work that about the only thing I can't band-aid until a normal business day is, you guessed it, a walk in cooler in the kitchen. Heat goes out in an apartment? 9 times out of 10 I can fix that myself but I have space heaters in the meantime. A/C out? I have new units waiting in the wings to drop in if needed but usually they just need a charge so until a tech can get here, I have a portable A/C. But when a walk in cooler/freezer goes out...sorry bud but I gotta call ya! Can't have thousands of dollars of food going bad :biggrin2:

Crossing my fingers you can get some rest tomorrow! :beerchug:

Gonna get ALL my Cubs out on the front yard so they can have a look see at all the folks coming into town for the big shindig!!
Film at eleven!!

Speaking of heating..... our contrator and I mounted this bad boy and ran FostaPEX to the header this morning. Part of the wife's "capital project". :Bowdown2::Boohoo::BlahBlah:

Since you said you'll have 'em all out, you know what you are now required to do: take some pics and post 'em!!

Oh boy, wifey's capital project list can often be a fun one :biggrin2:

it ain't eleven yet
Did get this done though
Cub Cadet Hauler.....

I'm at the rc track with my boy.

100 miles on the bike for us today. Now, it's time to go to work. :beatdeadhorse:

Bought a 12x24 shed this spring and getting the last of the parts and cubs out of storage. Not all of will fit though and built an awning to park some cubs under.

Front brakes on the kids Jeep.
Mow a little.

Change oil and rotate tires on the truck and maybe prep some pieces of the 100 for paint. As I like to call it, "garage therapy".

Put upper control arm bushings in my 96 gmc 3500, mowed the grass, did some cleaning, went to the scrap yard, put gas in the wife's car and washed it, and my usual trip to DD as coffee makes it all happen. Currently having a few cold ones and wondering why I did so much today but thankful for not being on call after doing it for 18 years.

I hear you Roland, I have a buddy that has an AC company, has 5 guys on the road 7 days a week. Needles to say it's been mid nineties here every day and will continue to be, AC is a big deal here obviously.

Most of my customers run ammonia refrigeration so they are married to their jobs too with apps on their phones that tell them what's going good and bad 24/7

Mowed this morning. Change oil in my Cubs, clean the shop. Relaxing now watching mash! Lol we bbq burgers and hotdogs for supper. Might start on restoring my pedal tractor! A IH 66 series from my childhood!

Good land, you were busy!! :bigeyes::bigeyes:

Mowed today, got the jungle knocked down, first time in a week and a half, been so much rain here. Got some parts for the 129 so will tinker with it tomorrow, or Monday. Tuesday as I do every 4th i'll smoke some baby back ribs and a pork butt. Kids and grandkids will come over and some of the neighbors, have a few adult refreshments and eat. Wednesday back to the grind of retirement.:beerchug:

Gonna spread some topsoil along the length of the newly blacktopped driveway and seed some grass. Then TRY and get some foodplots ready in the woods, unless it's still to wet.
And maybe bring the 56 into town on the fourth, for the car show. :beerchug:

IDK if I will call it "fun" but my phone's been ringing off the hook...
fuel pump in Wrangler
scan a Durango for codes for phantom die out issue
sway bar links on an Acadia
trans serv in a Sable and check brakes
lower ball joints on a Ranger
help my son do an intake reseal (his 1st) on an 88 Monte SS and a headliner too
check out front end on Sebring Convertible
oh yeah a belt on my crazy PITA neighbor's clown-toy Deere RX75 rear engine rider// I HATE that POS!!!! and she is a royal pain....
might not mind if she'd listen to em and operate that thing right.... putt putt at like half throttle and low-low gear she won't throttle it up to get the blades running as they should be to save her life... lug lug lug....

Put more "toyz" on my pickup

Odds and ends. Been cutting wheat and baling straw this past week. Hauled last load of wheat, unloaded last of straw into barn. Got everything put away, still need to clean out innards of the combine before its sits for 11 months. Sharpened blades on 1811. Pulled the 782 in shop and took carb apart--including welch plugs THIS time.:bash2: Brought sprayer to shop, plan is to convert it to a rear mounted unit and leave it on the 782 instead of a tow behind.

I worked at the COOP all through high school and miss wheat harvest. Don't miss the lack of sleep, but talking to the people, and throwing a few back with the custom cutters! Man, some of those Canadian cutters were crazy!

Working on my little hunting and fishing shed.

I'm working on making the wife and fetus happy while also trying to keep the pool mixed up so the algae doesn't grow. The wife wanted crabs for her birthday, so we (she) got those. Now on to "mixing" the pool water.

You know pregnant women shouldn't eat seafood right?

Took a road trip yesterday to meet and greet an old geezer, not necessarily by my old geezer standard but gaining on me every day, in north Wisconsin. Spent 3 hours jabber together. Mostly about Cubs. Drove home with the grill of a really nice 149 staring me in the rearview mirror. With the exception of the CarQuest battery about as original as I could imagine.

Unloaded it at the shop this morning without problems. A 5,000 lb forklift sure comes in handy.

Spending the next 3 days working on my Cadet 95 and looking to get that in use by the middle of the month.

Overall simply a splendid way to spend four days.

Don't remember that, but I do remember getting yelled at for raising the garage door too quick and letting the heat out during the winter---did I forget to mention my garage isn't heated. Those were scary days!:bigeyes::biggrin2:

They are allowed up to 12 oz per week. Doctor cleared her before we went. Apparently seafood is good for brain development...just don't overdo it.

Battling a bout of Shingles, so no fun projects for me. Might sit at the workbench and build a couple model airplanes while I wait for it to clear up. Oh, and curse up a storm each time the pain flares up.

Hey, it was great meeting you Mike. Hope the 149 fits the bill, and gives you years of trouble free work. Yeah, don't we all?
Congrats to you on your 149 score. :biggrin2::beerchug:

Oh..... I'm sorry for you buddy. I got them when I was a kid, and they still flare up occasionally. Used to happen more often when I had more stress in my life. I haven't had a flare up for quite some time now. Hope I didn't just jinx myself. :angry:

I feel your pain Ian. I had a battle with them 10 yrs or so ago. 4 advils every 3 hours. Took me nearly 4 months before they finely went back into hiding. Unlike Jon, I've never had a recurrence. :Pray: I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. Well, maybe one I can think of. :big think:

Best of luck with the battle.

Mt front yard today....

Very nice collection!
