Built a potato gun out of a old header back exhaust that me and the guys from work found in the dumpster.


Only got three shots off before the muffler we were using as a firing chamber split along a weld thus rendering the weapon inoperable without putting in more work then we wanted to do in the rain.

I spent the day working on the stubbler, and then when the guys left I drained the "fluid" out of the xfercase. (it was a bit sludgey). rinsed it with ATF a couple times the let it sit overnight to drain some more into a bucket a drip at a time. CLeaned some more on the garage, and will probably clean som more on the garage today. Depending on the rain.

we bought some little fireworks for Calista, but she didn't like anything that went WEEEE or POP. She liked the fountains but wanted to try and carry them around.
