Important

Yes.

Because the people I have met/want to meet on this site, nearly all come from this chapter.


Yeah we aren't like those SoCal douche bags :D
 
Got the word an hour ago that Dad has been moved out of ICU. Here's hoping he stays out.
 
Erectile Dysfunction?

Well meaning I'll be broke down before 40, as for that other thing, being unable to climax while "being intimate" is almost as bad.
 
Now yer "anticlimactic"?

Dude! ... yer one afflicted soul! ;)

You have no idea... :(
 
Last week.
The wall on Green Day trail at Area BFE:

Video shows rear tires 8-10' up when she went over.

Isn't that the rig you just rebuilt?
That's the one.
Rolled it over, pulled the coil wire and spun the engine, started and drove it out.
3-4 more inches of wheelbase and I'd have cleaned it.
 
Nicely done.


Got a link to the video?
 
Made some progress on the "cheap" trailer yesterday.

New axle should be prepped and in Monday, and new(er) tires/wheels also (Thanks Jim and Mike!).

Old axle/rims brought $50 at the scrapyard. Bonus!
 
I've talked with a few who have seen the video but it hasn't been posted yet.
I haven't even seen it yet.
I'll post the link when I find one.
No non-sheetmetal damage other than my death grip on the wheel bending the steering shaft:

Things did get interesting though. I've been having problems with the fuel cell cap latch shutting right.
When I hit, it blew the cap off the cell, dumping 5 gallons of gas down my back and head as I hung from the harness. :explosion
Killing electric, popping the harness release, and sliding out became real priorities. :D

Someone just sent me this moment of impact pic:
