Yep. Another year of fun and games. I'm about due for my midlife motorcycle, don't you think? Maybe some day...
I was just over on your thread trying to catch up on the trekker, you guys are gross! An exacto knife ended my bendable right pinky days. Now it just sticks out and gets broken when I jam it into stuff and I get teased for being snooty when I have a drink. Watch yer cutter, guys look even sillier with their pinkies hanging in the breeze.
Today I saw a Horizon Blue Metallic 3rd gen. In the light darkened by cloud cover it was a neat medium blue instead of the purplishness they usually have to them. I've never seen one of those around here before.
45 years, 45 pounds. Not me, the pack! I'm....slightly......heavier.
From Johnson's Shut-ins parking lot to Goggins Mtn to the Ozark Trail. Next day back to Johnson's and then on to a trail maintenance day back up on the Ozark Trail. This is our brand of fun.
Cool guesses! I've got enough bikes, but that tree stump looks kind of awesome. Snowshoes? Didn't we just have a conversation about snowshoes? I'd look just like the picture, but with more snowshoe side up. Oh, and I already have a money blowing machine. It's called a husband.
Hmmmm, did the IBOM turn out to be a box of rocks? Top secret something?
Anyhow, hi and hope you had a great birthday!
I survived two intense 10 hour days of tree and shrub planting....it went well and made nice improvement on 4 acres of the farm. Now, the plantings challenge will be surviving the elk and deer impact.

RW...
The Audubon society used pig blood with some success when they did a planting. It was in little discs on stakes next to each new planting. Then again, they only planted 30 trees and bushes.
I opened the International Box Of Mystery on the evening of the 8th. Interesting, a front hitch. I had been looking for a bumper with a receiver but they seem to be made of unavailium for the 3rd gen. I'm not sure this is what I had in mind but it would be very useful considering 2 trucks, looks like I'll eventually have to invest in a winch and receiver plate. Already contemplating Anderson connectors front and rear for the power supply. I can't install it until it warms up and dries out enough to clean up and paint the frame. It looks pretty cut and dry, uses the threaded holes for the shipping hooks (or whatever those things are) and requires a hole drilled into the side of the frame.
I have some reservations but mostly this seems to be a reasonable solution. Mostly I'm just glad it's not a portable mushroom farm!!!
Cleaned up and painted the frame today. It's not too bad, just minus paint and some surface rust where the hooks were.
They used the pig blood solely as a deterent....I wonder what sort of fertilizing properties it might have though? Hmmm, what about bloodmeal? No idea if / how /why that might work- or NOT work!
Even better on the pig blood....3,000 plantings over 4 acres will be a challenge for them to protect by any means. They use a lot of fish meal fertilizer as the farm is near places (the Washington coast) where they get it in bulk.
I'll start tomatoes and peppers early March, in the basement. Second week of April is when the freeze threat is about over. Some time between now and then I've gotta get a couple of loads of manure and get some tilling done. You?
Today I bought a nut splitter. I had to ask where they were. It's fun to watch guys cringe.
All for the 96:
Exhaust sitting in the garage.
Hitch in the dining room.
Mustard box on my desk.
Day before yesterday I stumbled upon an old mustard tin with 20 year old mustard in it.
Washed out the mustard, now I have a small box. Bought a 90 degree and a straight 3/8" nipple, metal because I found them on clearance.
Poked a hole in the lid at one corner and JB Welded the nipple to the top of the box. I ended up cutting about a half inch of the nipple on the moo box off so the mustard tin would fit closer to the box. I wouldn't have had if I had punched the hole further away from the box or had a different, deeper shaped box. Next I installed it and figured out about where the nipple needed to be on the bottom, punched in a hole and JB Welded that in.
I cut the hose to fit the tin in and that was it.
Today it hasn't moo'd a peep. I'll update later on, whether it moos again or not.
I just happened to have this tin laying around. It was really about a half inch too tall and could have been a half inch wider but there's wiggle room so it works out. If I hadn't found the metal nipples cheap I would have been fine with plastic, whatever allowed the hose to connect to the tin.
So there you go. My take on the moo box fix.
Does it work? I'll have to let you know.
EDIT: Works great!
I'm definitely interested as to whether that mustard box eliminated that mooing/buzzing from the evaporator charcoal canister, as I never did end up ordering the factory replacement part for my own '96 SR5 (and most places which showed that part as being available via their online web stores did not actually have it in stock anyway)...
