Well no one told me....they were just like "hey newbie, go pull that thing in and get to work".

Side note, notice the RiffRaff sticker in the corner of the shop photo.

Chris, sorry about your foot.


Spring is slowly coming in WV. The grass is getting a bit greener, trees are still dormant though.
The animals are showing the weather change. This morning we were watching a few (temporary) geese on the pond, a hawk snacking on something he pulled from the pond, robins and starlings pulling worms in the yard, small birds () on the feeder, a woodpecker, and a squirrel on the porch. Spring is just around the corner but still a heavy frost in the shadow cast by the house.

We’re supposed to get 3-8” snow Sunday night. I still haven’t heard a Robin yet this Spring but we still have a LOT of winter left in the Rockies. Jason, you get a lot of mosquitoes with the pond in your backyard?

Sorry to interrupt the beautiful pictures....but I am planned to re-seal a drive motor on a 199 Case 1845c, They show the use of Permatex #6 on mounting flanges and in another spot.

What is it and an equal?

What a beautiful day for a drive!

We arrived at our spot on the beach safely and had a nice drive along the way. The marsh side of the island is backed up to our site and the beach is about 50 yards from the front of the truck.

@ESwift remembers this island from his visit 15 years ago and out of all of the places we have seen, this is one of our favorites.

Now for some hanging out and several cold IPA's.

No way I would make the data and media public right now. Too much fluff in it at the moment. It would be like watching a video on YouTube about glow plugs and the jackass talks about the neighbors dig for 5 minutes.

Burst photos are a hood thing though.

Hot dogs, chips and beer. That is our go to drive day dinner.

Chest freezers are wonderful for people that only go to town once or twice a month. That 2" thick tomahawk ribeye will be consumed shortly after we get home. Perhaps as the celebration dinner for the 363 install being a success.

It is Saturday, so the campground is about 80% full, but the beach is almost empty. I could only see 6 people in either direction.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

I feel your pain! Rolled my ankle and broke my right foot in 3 places. Still recovering from surgery! Only time I’m glad my rig is an automatic.

Can we just take a minute to appreciate these trucks?
With my broken foot I’m limited to the amount of weight I can lift and put on it. Well I have a little side job and needed to haul some material for it. So hooked up to the dump trailer. My family owns a landscaping supply company and was helping me out, when they load a yard of material you usually get 1.5. So with frost laws on up here in Wisconsin, I figured 5 yards at 2700lb per yard would be good. So 4 loads in I ask my cousin if the bucket in the loader is a 2yd bucket still. Nope! They put a 3 yard bucket and said I’ve been hauling right around 7yds of material..
In a way it was a relief because the day started out poor when my 4low wouldn’t engage, the engine oil temp would push 220 after pulling some of the hills and tranny was right around 182 when loaded. I was really disappointed with how sluggish it felt with the sxe369 with the 1.0 housing but egts never got over 1057 (I was watching temps like a hawk as this is the first real test with this setup)
So when I found out it was 6.5-7yd loads at 17550/18900lbs it makes sense. Plus the weight of the trailer at roughly 7500. Boy I pushed her today. I’d be curious to how my dads 2020 f-250 6.7 with trailer package would have done. Just for the “seat of your pants” feeling.
