Weekend is over...what did you get done?

My exhaust has been rattling on my reese hitch for 3 days now. It's annoying as crap.

I fixed it last night. Boy, that was a chore.

I raised my right foot about 2.5 feet off the ground and placed it on the tail pipe. I braced my left hand on the back window and put my right hand on the roof. Then, I pushed the exhaust away from the hitch with my right foot. Then I put my foot back on the ground and was done. I almost broke a sweat.
 
Oh, and I went wheeling..........:)
same... for half a day :dunce:

I had to do several minutes of extremely difficult sawzall engineering to make mine stop.
 
My fix is quite temorary. I'm thinking about choping it off just before the gas tank and angling it down there. I'd have to put another support farther back but it'd be better than listening to it rattle constantly.
 
Got the back end of this thing done...

Found some decent carpet at the local Pull-A-Part, cleaned up pretty good for a 19 year old piece of carpet!

Also redid my old battery area, and gained a LOT more space. This is what it used to look like:

This is what I did to it today. Just made a steel panel that covers everything, and mounted the inverter and 12v plugs on the interior panel (which I also got from PAP today)

Forgot to take a picture of the battery area without the cover on...(Yes, its vented.)

Here she is, all done! Got the carpet in there after painting the bars and floor.

Nice Stump!
 
all this talk about work just cursed me. looks like I'm off to san diego for an undetermined amount of time....
 
I'm sorry to hear about your job situation! If you can't trust your employer to do the right thing, it's impossible to feel good about working for them.

I'm sure that you'll find something soon that suits a man of your talents.

Let me know if there is something we can do.

meh it is what it is....there wont be many times in life where i can walk in and tell them to cram it and leave ;) might as well take advantage of it
 
I get to remind them that they never actually gave me an NDA to sign, too.

The verbal fireworks are going to be impressive :D

what's up w/that? I'd be pissed if you came to work part time for me and left for an undetermined time-- I'd think you were still in the Navy!!

San Diego isn't a bad place to spend some time, particularly if you're getting paid while there!:D
