Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

replaced the foam on the radiator of my mower. it overheated (not really, it triggered a high temp switch that shut the pto deck off) and i learned that the radiator probably had grass in it. i was blowing it out every mow and noticed the scraps of old foam.

john deere sold replacement foams for I-am-not-kidding $643. i ordered some adhesive foam for $18 on amazon. works great!

you can see the grass pulled against the mesh by the vacuum of the radiator fan, previously it was sneaking around the edges of the foam directly to the radiator.

They are Proud of the Green.

I have created a Good Habit.

I flip the Hood and use a blower on the deck and the engine compartment after I finish mowing.

House painting. Since I completely re-sided the shop and got it all painted, I just had to paint the house too. So here I am.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I spent some money today. It only took me 2 years to finally get a good deal. ( actually my wife did it) She's picking it up on Saturday. 1,900 miles on it. It's old.

I kinda like Corvettes.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

nice find!

i like the mid engine corvettes, more so now that the z06 has a flat plane crank. but i wish they didnt stagger the wheel diameters. always reminds me of a steamroller with a smaller wheel up front.

Thanks. I found it at a Buick dealership in Bakersfield of all places. Go figure.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Nice, Paul. Really nice. Question is, will your wife ever let you drive it?
I live way out in the sticks, so I only just saw one of those in person last week, in the supermarket parking lot.
I have seen a lot of magazine pictures, but pics absolutely don't do it justice. The car itself was very impressive, with an amazing presence about it that reminded me of a true exotic. I love that Chevy created it.

Of course, I don't get out much. But I'm not easily impressed, and that C8 impressed me.

I doubt that I'll ever see the keys. But I'll get my Gladiator back. Maybe...

I live in the sticks too. I've only seen two around here, not often. It might have just been tourists. I saw a McLaren at the gas station once. They are a rare sight around here but it happens. I'm really looking forward to getting this car. Tomorrow is the day.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

She's home. Resting comfortably under a 100 year old oak tree next to her older sister.

Taking my wife out tonight. But I need to stop at the gas station first. The car was on dead empty when they delivered it.

And I have to figure out how to start the dang thing.

That is Nice

How to start it because of (Out of gas issue) ?
Try disconning the battery and fill it with gas and reconnect the battery.
Or different Key fob system?
Maybe that battery is dead in the key fob.

No. It starts and runs just fine, I just couldn't find the start button because I'm an idiot.

My FIL got a rental at the airport one time.
He had to walk back in and ask,
Where's the key you gave me this thing with no keys on it

Yeah it took me a while to figure that I had to push on the brake pedal or depress the clutch on some of these newer cars to get them to do anything. I got stuck in a McDonalds drive thru once because I couldn't get the dang rental car to go back in gear and all I had to do was step on the brake pedal.

But this time was different because GM only put a giant button with the word "Start' written on it right in front of my face. Who knew?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

You've got a thing for twos haven't you? 2 porsches, 2 jeeps, 2 vettes, etc. Only one hearse and one packard, so far.

Two Baja Bugs, and the hearse counts as the second Cadillac. What??? No Chevy Trucks in your signature?

They're there. Right on top in bold letters. Hey Tim, where's the start button on the Vette?

I do have some double vehicles but my Corvette's and Chevy trucks are triples.
I never sell anything so they kind of pile up. Kind of like my ex wives although I'd be glad to see them go down the road but I can't seem to get rid of them either.

Oh there they are. Up top in bold print, huh? No wonder I missed them.

Start button on the Vette? I just figured out cars from the '90s and newer require the brake pedal to be depressed to put in gear! And the dang car locks you in once you get going!!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

I’m a sucker for anything 50 to75%off retail . I bought a new Coleman 13x13 pop up canopy real heavy duty with straight legs . Normal price online about $199 paid $69 . Only thing wrong with it the label and the bag had some scuffs .

I also bought a Core 10 person lighted 4season tent . Cheapest I found on it was at Amazon for 369 . Paid $100 for it going to set it up when the kids and grandkids come up . Brand new the canvas carrying bag was ripped
