It's called Rebuilding Together of the Triangle, or something like that?
In one of my super bored day's I was looking for something to get me out of the house and came across it.




Taking advantage of the dry day that we have. Snagged some Baby Back Ribs to go into the smoker in about two hours along with some Hickory and Cherry wood.

Very nice. I signed up with Team Rubicon a few months ago, they are currently about to deploy to Nepal. Personally, I have no interest in going out of country, but I do intend to deploy with them stateside when I get the opportunity. They went to TN in the last snowstorm we had, and also went to help out with the Mudslides in WV a few weeks ago.

It's not so much that I wouldn't like to go help overseas, it just requires me to do things I am uncomfortable with on multiple levels.

Speaking of helping out, I say we all mount up and ride to Baltimore.

Dang Bob, those ribs look delicious. Nice work.

hey liners...
Hey va-giners....


Well I finally made it out to cabelas this weekend. What a cluster fork. Crazy packed. No doubt the place is nice but their prices are way high. Yes they have just about any outdoor gear you need but I can't afford to shop there. Personally, I'll take a plain warehouse with good prices. At cabelas you are paying for the experience of being there plus the item itself. It's cool but not my cup of tea.

Y'all have a good week.

At my wits end

I've been helping my son Tim on hi car he bought recently, a 95 Mitsubishi 3000GT. Timing is off and we found a couple other issues that would give it the miss fire that it has.
We're trying, "Trying" to get the bolt out of the crank shaft. We've used an inexpensive electric impact that won't budge it, tried to hold the crank, and use my breaker bar, even tried bumping the starter with a breaker bar on that bolt, just broke a Snap On adaptor that I have.
I have a good Snap On 1/2" drive impact that may or may not break it lose, but no air compressor
Y'all have any ideas

I see that there are other paid member here and have a question.
My 3 year membership expired a week or so ago, and I have since paid for another 3 year membership.
My status has been changed back to a paid member, but haven't seen anything about how to order my new (Well Needed) T Shirt, size/color.
Any ideas
