Cant remember where i left off, but its apparent i need to open a service shop.

01 grand am - ignition switch (and tumbler + reprogram keys), starter, battery, ground strap to the engine, exhaust splice ahead of the o2 sensor.
06 trailblazer - front wheel bearings, cv axlesn front brakes, 4 new rubbers, gritblasted and painted the spare rim, new rubber and balanced, vct solenoid, plugs, and map sensor - ordered a set of front coil springs, will be fitting them feb 2nd.
03 trailblazer - brakes, plugs, coilovers, vct solenoid cleaned, map sensor, and blower fan
97 grand cherokee - in the works - alternator blew the RR circuit diodes, very high ac voltage everywhere. This right after it came back from a shop that "fixed" something electrical. (I reeeeeally hate electrical work)
16 cruze - maintenance stuff, oil change, coolant flush, rotate tires, new plugs...
01 F150 (my project truck) - got the fenders off around the engine bay, cab's lifted 8 inches, about to start disconnecting hoses/wires from the engine. Dropped the driveshafts. Getting ready to pull the engine/tranny for a deep rebuild.
04 avalanche - brake lines and front light housings, oil change and other light maintenance.
07 taurus - maintenance

Added some Honda red grips to my '80 XL185S. I low sided her last summer and never got around to replacing them. Got bored and untarped my GSXR 600 powered T bucket. Took some measurements for the frame, I'm going to go with 1"X3" box beam. Hope to get the frame mocked up soon.   |

Wrenched on the Yamaha xt today put on new throttle cable , battery on charge then stripped carb which was full of gloop. Time to drain tank next.
Son in law called by so work stopped and now throwing balloons and dancing with two and half year old grand daughter. Much better than dirty old motorcycle 😊

Yesterday, I cleaned and oiled up a couple handguns and took my daughters to the indoor range. They went through just over 300 rounds. Today my fingers hurt from loading mags. youtu.be/jaE-tOC7LUgyoutu.be/f-5uGotLmfo |

The 1911 style is a fine shooting gun, kicking myself for selling mine a few years back. I like the glocks for capacity and because they will most likely fire at least once when you need it, no matter what it has been through. I picked up a Ruger LCP, it is now my concealed carry. Combined with a holster that "prints" like a wallet in my back pocket. I know the revolvers are very, very reliable, been thinking about one for the nightstand. What's your pick? |

After being a 'wheel gunner' for a few years,a backwoods hunter brought his Glock by after finding it in the swamp where he lost it a few months before(underwater)..It looked rough,but we had a 100 box of 9mm's on the bench,that thing would ring the drum at 100 yards!Darn plastic pistol amazed me!!
Lots of good 'bedside' wheel guns,S&W,Dan Wesson,Ruger(GP100),Colt,Tarus,,357 is my fav as it can be used with .38 or 357,even shot shells..

I may have mentioned that I have a recent acquisition of a Honda CRF250L, dual sport. I am now into design of some needed aftermarket stuff that actually makes sense. My love of light weight parts, carbon fiber and unobtanium will get put to good use. Friends have challenged me. The bike weighs 320 pounds. I am shooting for 275 and beyond. Fun times, except I must go work for a spell...crap thrives.
