July BS Thread
 

Alright it's time for July to roll in. Fireworks, fingers missing, money spent on explosives, the whole 9 yards. Hopefully nobody has to visit the hospital and has a safe 4th of July.

I'm not the pyromaniac i use to be on the 4th, so its just a nice day to BBQ and drink beer. Just wish my poor dog wasnt scared of the fireworks. I have to sedate her so she can make it through the day. Hope everyone has a enjoyable day. At least it wont be a blazing hot as it is now. Can y'all imagine to problems we'd have if its this hot on the 4th? Sheesh

My family at least plans to wet down the yard plenty before any fireworks. I am kind of a pyromaniac and my older step brother and I like to try destroying my little sisters old barbies. They are surprisingly resilient... We ended up strapping Ground Flowers to the head and torching holes in it.

You may want to look at something called the "Thunder Jacket" There was a thing
at the vet's this last weekend when I had Tetsu in for his UTI.

Looks interesting.....have a harness similar to that. I'll have to put it on her and see how she reacts to it. Thanks Sean.

well boys, looks like i'm working on the 4th, and leaving on a road trip this weekend, going to help my brother move up here from NM. it promises to be hot and busy

whats new with y'all

Dylan,
What is the ID of you radiator hose? The adaptor is 38mm or 1.49"
Found out why Tetsu has been so sick. He has an e.coli infection
in his bladder. They got the lab work back today and so he started
his antibiotic and he will be on it for a month.

That adapter may be too small then. according to autozone these are the standard dimensions.
Hose End (1) Inside Diameter (in): 2
Hose End (1) Outside Diameter (in): 2.375
Hose End (2) Inside Diameter (in): 2
Hose End (2) Outside Diameter (in): 2.375

Well we gave it a try.
You could check on Ebay for a 2" one.
The other option is get a section of brass pipe
and have someone put a bubble flair on both the ends
so the hose will stay on with a clamp.
You may even try a radiator shop and see if they have an extension.

Sean :-drink

That's a possibility. My neighbor is a plumber so no doubt he should have some brass pipe to use. As for Flaring it I'm not so sure his tool would work. he can do a single flair on smaller metal tube for brakes or whatever, but I don't think it would work on something like that. I think before asking him though I'll look around online or at any local shops for something.

Happy 4th of July Washington truckers. It Hot and dry over here on the East side of the state. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a fire free 4th.

@Sean, What breed of Cat do you have? I may have asked before but I don't remember.

I have another question for you West siders, does anyone know of or have recommendations of a wreaking yard that might have a set of factory aluminum wheels for a 2012 F350 DRW? I think anything between 2007 and 2012 will work, I'm not sure about a 2006.

I hope everyone has a good 4th of July.

Cheers! :-drink

Dylan look at the flair in the photo it the 3 one from the top

Well we didn't make it through the 4th without a fire. There is a brush fire on the North shore of Lake Chelan across from 25 mile creek. That is all I know so far and the wind is blowing 15 to 20 mph.

Sean, Thanks for the info on the cats and the wreaking yard, the cats look big. I have never heard of them before.

Cheers
