You did all that last night after you got home? Nuts.
BTW - I passed you yesterday as you were getting onto I-405. I was waiting to turn on to 85th there by McDonalds when you drove by. I finally caught up just as you turned onto the on ramp. Decided against honking given the nuts that can inhabit that area.

Northwesterncowboy, Looks like you found problem, it I would say!
I had a really cool working location the last couple days. We rebuilt 8 splices on a telephone cable that crossed a lake. We rented a pontoon boat and I tied a couple of rollers on the side.

It happens when I had nothing to do and I love detailing every bit of my truck. Each week detailed wash, Claybar/wax/polish every 3 months, some weeks the interior getting lots of attention next week tires/wheels individually taken off and cleaned. it was an obsession at this point. It was nice if the truck got dirty during the week I would just spray it off with the hose water would bead off and rinse dirt and dust off really easy.

What lake is that? I’ve been on a few over in E-WA but they can all look the same.
Glad to hear the forum pushed an update. The last big one really made navigating unpleasant on a phone. And really any iOS device.

Wow...just WOW. Sign me up. Hopefully you have more days like that and fewer of the rain/cold days.

That is the last update link I think it's OK to still add things to it.

Onug, That is Jameson lake just south of Mansfield. They tell me it's a pretty good trout fishing lake. I'm just now getting back into trout fishing after a lot of years. My wife and I plan on going there this next month and see if we can do any good.

We are waiting to see if they broke anything. So if you find something that is not working PLEASE post it in the Forum update page.

I try to leave that hat off when I jump into social media/recreational stuff, or else I'd never ever get a break from fixing broken stuff - and I really don't like web development, like with a passion, so hats off to the devs that make these forum front and back ends.

Let's go for three posts.. I'm spamming my post count, see...
Vibration is still present, no improvement. Called Drivelines NW and they think it's just an out of balance shaft. Will take it to them tomorrow and they'll balance it for $78 or so. It really does look like someone tacked the weight on wrong when it fell off last time I was there getting quick help to unstick my slip yoke, so maybe that's it and all will be well after they balance it.... Fingers crossed!!

@NorthwesternCowboy did they paint the driveshaft last time? Hope it's fixed soon.

5pm Friday is approaching... anxiously wondering if my driveshaft will be done today or not - No camping trip for the weekend if it doesn't come home tonight. If not, oh well! Will be a weekend of doing things around the house. Damn spiders are all over the place and my grass is growing again since it's not so hot. It was nice when everything just sorta stayed the same all summer and didn't need maintaining HAHA!
