Thanks guys!

Had to tie the two pads together since the timing bar allowed too much slop, then weld on new tabs for the cylinder pins to pass through, add a second diverter and plumb/wire that in, and finally will need hose clamps to keep things from dragging. Not having to flip those arms ever again will be worth it.

Now to see if I can get a good bead on 3/16" plate with my little HH125... Sure wish I had my big Miller here, but that's not practical.

Hopefully everyone closes out the week well. Happy Friday!

Lake idiots will be here shortly.

I've gotta head into town for some tree stakes, but I'm totally ready for alcohol.

Good evening everyone!

Spent a few hours this evening putting a new radio in the Kia. Had no idea how much more involved the process was to keep the steering wheel audio controls. All back together and it seems like everything works, but there's quite the jumble of wires stuffed in behind the radio.

Papa Murphy's Meat Lovers stuffed crust pizza --
Two thumbs down..
Even an hour at 425 on a pizza pan was not enough to cook the doughy crust... That and a double cheese pizza was almost $30
Back to making our own pizzas for half the (ahem) dough....

I'll remember that Randy. We had Papa Murphy's tonight as well, but we went with our usual, a pepperoni and a Cowboy pizza. Tasty as always, we really missed Papa Murphy's during our time out East!

We've never been able to get the middle crust on those done. Usually we'll cut some slices and stick the rest back in on lower heat and just leave it while we eat our gooey pieces.

I don't like their red sauce at all, but love their white sauce. Delite's with white is where it's at.
