Cut all my pieces for my new upper shock mounts. While drinking. The lines aren't straight. But that's what a grinder is for.

ufcking dog. And also, my ufcking dad.
I was out in the garage when this happened.
I came inside and dad (who's sitting on the couch like the sloth he is) says to me, "Coal (the old lab) was scratching at the carpet by the back door and making wierd sounds."
Im like, "OK so you didn't let him out. Let me turn on the light."
The largest pile of dog vomit I've ever seen!
So he REALLY wanted to go outside and vomit. But my dad is a ufcking moron and just ignored him instead of investigating the noise.
So I'm ufcking shampooing carpet. I had to get a damn shovel to clean the shiat up. Like could you not just come and let me know what's going on? You have to sit your fat ass on my couch and do nothing?
UFCK! I can't wait to get the basement apartment done.
Get the ufck out of my house and into your hole.

Does anyone know how to read one of these? It used to belong to my grandfather. I grabbed it from the tool box to measure the shank on my upper shock bolts. Only to realize I have no ufcking clue how to decipher the miriad of numbers on it.

Along the line is 100 thousandths and each line between is 0.025. Around the dial is thousandths. You add the dial to what shows on the line. Looks like 0.5455 on the dial currently.

I like my kids being involved hence the new quad obsession. And with 3 kids, that's a minimum 4 machines.

That makes a ton of sense. If I had kids I would be the exact same way. No greater joy than working on something then ripping ass around on / in it knowing you fixed it. Hell yeah.

Yeah. The Blonde is getting a crash course in Kawasaki, as am I. I'm hoping she appreciates it later in life after the "preteen" and "teen" stages are over.
The little one seems the most willing to help but I can't imagine that'll last much longer. The oldest is very EMO right now. But she likes projects and I can usually coax her out of her lair with shop Cheez-its....

You could 100% kidnap me with Cheez-its. No shiat.
One of my best friends son, he's basically socially awkward, but with a project, that kid has LASER sharp focus that i envy. An old beetle project they are tearing apart is basically the only way he gets him out of his bedroom and away from the xbox. Hahaha
I wish I would have had that type upbringing where my dad wanted to spend time in the garage like that. Priceless memories.

I did a lot of farm maintenance. My Dad filled my head full of drag car stuff but didn't spend much time helping me build that stuff. Got into rock crawling with a fellow gear head in college and been headed down this road since then.
We were always working on stuff but it just wasn't as much fun by myself. That's one thing I'm trying to correct with my girls. I try to be involved in what they do and drag them along for what I do. My girls all day they can "out boy" the boys they're normally around and if that I have no doubt.

I took mechanics as an elective in high school. And have been working on cars since. I just wish I didn’t live in an area where they use so much salt in the winters. Definately adds a different challenge to fixing your vehicles

Ha! The only farm stuff I worked on was "hey follow this trailer and pick up those square bales" or "climb this ladder with these shingles on your shoulder. now repeat x 200 or until you die"

I didn't have to. My Dad had been a GM Master Tech and ASE Certified plus built engines, transmissions and axles for local drag racers and hot rodders. I could do the Auto Mechanics student's homework....
But most of my experience growing up was tractors and trucks around the farm.
He bought me a 82 S10 and we built the engine and transmission (350/th350) but we never took it to the track to race or play with. It was a street rod. That was a fun ride for a 17 y/o, even with a mostly stock farm truck 350 in it.
Oh I did that too, but there was lots of putting the baler back together and fixing other equipment.

I just run Resolve on my Windows rig as well. I used to dual-boot, but Linux didn't get much use on it if I were running to the office most of the time anyway for work, so maintaining it was getting annoying, and the video editing for me is just a hobby anyway. The office uses Premiere because the video editing noobs around here can't figure out Resolve, and I'm just tech support, so I can run whatever I want.
I tend to run Gentoo if I can, Ubuntu keeps changing things for no real good reason and it was getting annoying. And I like having the control. Also, I am probably mostly insane...
Next time you do a firewall update/rebuild, you might want to look into OpnSense. The company behind pf has started doing a bunch of retarded things.

I run OME's as Alcans were going to be stupid expensive up here, and I could get the OME leafs from 4 wheel parts. They squeak a bit when they get wet, but I haven't been disappointed in there performance. Been running them almost 3 years now.

Looks like eigths on the shaft or 32nds on the dial(I'm guessing it goes to 32) so you're at 5/8 + a little less than 2/32nds. or between 20/32 and 21/32 per the dail.

At some point, I want to virtualize the firewall. When that happens, I'll likely switch to opnsense.
Pulled the trigger on the ADO Performance Leaf Packs. I’ll set them to heavy and possibly look at changing out bump stops.
Anybody know of a reputable online place for cheap U-bolts? Mine are the 9/16” zinc coated squared version. There are a million results online with a wide range of prices, but I want to avoid junk while also avoiding paying ridiculous markup just because they’re sold by an “offroad” company.

Take an old one to NAPA and have them get them for you. They have a great selection.
