Feb B.S. Thread
 
Wow February is here already, where does time go..

sddesigns 02-01-2010 07:47 AM

Good Morning to all my MN friends.....

It's the beginning of a new day, week, and month!:D

F-127 02-01-2010 09:02 AM

Almost posted in the January BS thread, oops. Shortest month of the year with another post record to break. Nothing like waking up about 5 minutes before my 8am class, somehow my alarm got turned to off. Good thing I'm on campus... made it by 5 after.

Afternoon everyone! Thanks for starting the new thread Tom. By the way if you want to have a waterpump party I still havent got mine done in my '94. The pump is still sitting here waiting for me to put it in. Jay mentioned over in the Jan bs thread that your pic of the Dodge loader made it over to psn. Your going to make this guy famous yet. I am hoping some day I will catch him using it and I can get a vid of it.

Jay did ya get the brakes and tv fixed yet? We just picked up a little fresh powder this morning.

Thomas glad you were'nt too late for class. Not a good way to start the week out.

DieselCamper01 02-01-2010 03:56 PM

Thanks for the mention in the old post Troy.

I just got the brake parts delivered at 3pm so those go in tonight. I would be suprised if we have even 1/2" of snow so far.

Probably work on the TV tonight also. At a quick glance I did not see any bad resistors but I may need to unsolder and check a few "pico" style fuses. Apparently you cannot accurately meter them while still soldered on both sides so you have to desolder one leg. Blah!

fordpower88 02-01-2010 06:40 PM

Evening Minnesota and any lurkers!

Jay, glad you got the parts finally for your sled. Good luck on that tv, when it comes to electrical work like that I am not real good. Probably why I havent tackled the idm mod yet.

DieselCamper01 02-01-2010 08:54 PM

Can't get the brake caliper piston to retract on one side. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Got the two fuses replaced on the TV circuit board. On was bad, the other I accidentally ruined because I was a dumb a$$.. The kit came with two so no harm, no foul. Next are the two IC's. I need a different solder sucker first. The cheapo one I bought does not suck. haha

sddesigns 02-02-2010 06:32 AM

Good morning All....

Happy Ground Hog Day!

Go Punxsutawney Phil, see your shadow!

DieselCamper01 02-02-2010 09:23 AM

YES! 6 more weeks of winter!

sddesigns 02-02-2010 09:37 AM

yes he did, and now we have plenty of time for more snow!

Excursion4X4 02-02-2010 09:40 AM

Morning all.

fordpower88 02-02-2010 11:32 AM

Morning Everybody!

Dale did ya get that grille repainted yet or the headlights in? Did your wife notice the change yet? lol

DieselCamper01 02-02-2010 02:06 PM

How does the EX handle with the new ball joints?

More snow would be a good thing.

F-127 02-02-2010 04:14 PM

Afternoon all, finally got my Minotaur software re-registered after my hard drive crash. Ordered some files for my dad and brothers pickup at the same time. I'll be burning some chips this weekend. If I make it to a G2G I'll have to bring my laptop with and show everyone that.

bigdummyford 02-02-2010 09:23 PM

That would be pretty awesome to see in action Thomas.

Ah, the lovely evil ex. Sounds horrible Miles. We will get up your way too. Maybe when it warms up a bit.

Got the brakes done on the sled. The one piston had wedged a little cockeyed so I had to remove the caliper and pop that back in straight. Then just had to bleed the system. Went pretty well.

Got a "little" further on the tv. Un soldered the IC's but my soldering iron sucks I think. Going to go buy an electric soldering iron and see how that works.

I am trying to find my receipt for the pump, I just did it this past spring if I remember correctly. Time will tell.

Good luck with that Tv Jay

Morning Minni....

DieselCamper01 02-03-2010 07:49 AM

Good luck with the receipt Tom. I hate when I cannot find something important like that.

Good morning Chris. How are things in BC?

Excursion4X4 02-03-2010 09:06 AM

Morning all. Have not got the headlights in yet. I have no ambition to doit in the cold. Same with grill. I get a lot of complements about the color, so Red stays on for now! Next is sway bar mounts.....still get a clunk, but not nearly like b4.
Thanks to everyone for all the help!
Duluth sounds like a great place for a GTG. Wife loves Duluth.....maybe she could stay home?

:-liessign :-kneeslap

mndiesel 02-03-2010 10:37 AM

Dale how do you like the Schaeffer's, did it quiet it down some?

fordpower88 02-03-2010 10:44 AM

Good morning everyone!

Good luck on finding the receipt Tom.

Duluth sounds like a good GTG place to me!

Jay glad to see you got the sled goin! Now you got to get the tv done before the big game.

Dale, at least people like the red. haha You know you could always mount a red loader on the front!

Excursion4X4 02-03-2010 06:19 PM

I didn't have a noise issue with mine Tom, I was just looking to switch from Rotella to Schaffers.

sddesigns 02-03-2010 06:25 PM

Good Evening MN...

allis327 02-03-2010 06:56 PM

Good evening every one. Duluth sounds good hopefully in spring I may have more time then.

fordpower88 02-03-2010 08:41 PM

Evening Mike and anyone else hanging out!

Just got in from moving a little snow, I really hadnt done it since the last snow and it was starting to bother me. Of course the way it looks I will be doing it again by the weekend.

sddesigns 02-03-2010 08:48 PM

I'm still cruising around.....

Were due for some stuff Friday night into Saturday!

fordpower88 02-03-2010 08:55 PM

Hey Steve, yeah there talking anywhere from 2-6 inches for us. Hopefully no wind this time. Last time they clocked the highest wind gusts in the state out here at 58 mph!

sddesigns 02-03-2010 08:57 PM

I think were in for the same starting late Friday night into Saturday morning...

fordpower88 02-03-2010 09:02 PM

Lucky you, I bet you are getting our leftovers!! lol

sddesigns 02-03-2010 09:09 PM

It could very well be.....

sddesigns 02-04-2010 06:29 AM

Good Morning MN......

DieselCamper01 02-04-2010 08:09 AM

Good morning world. My TV is ALIIIIIIIIIIIVE!

fordpower88 02-04-2010 09:19 AM

Good morning everybody!

Congrats on the tv Jay! Just in time for the big game or better yet if your a nascar fan the Daytona 500 in 10 days and counting!!

Excursion4X4 02-04-2010 10:12 AM

Morning All! Great job with the TV Jay. Looking forward to the GTG in Duluth.....I would go to that one also. I had a great time at the last GTG!

mndiesel 02-04-2010 12:11 PM

I am in for camping for the weekend up there and just have a Saturday GTG at Miles.

DieselCamper01 02-04-2010 03:04 PM

Thanks guys. I am more into Nascar than the Super Bowl although I am sure I will watch that also.

I am in on the Duluth GTG also

fordpower88 02-04-2010 08:13 PM

Good evening MN!!

I am up for a GTG in Duluth, camping or whatever. Hope everyone is having a good night. My folks dropped off a bunch of old pics of when I was a kid. My wife sure got a good laugh over them.:-X24

DieselCamper01 02-04-2010 09:02 PM
