Well it was all going smooth and then my girlfriend got out of the shower and said, “is it weird that the toilet is making a bubbling sound when I shower”, oh yes my dear that’s very strange so I borrowed a drain snake and hopped down in crawl space, pulled the clean out off and started running it down there, and then I hit a hard spot, like one that I just couldn’t make it through, so I was curious how fast the water would drain so I ran some down the clean out and to my surprise there was a little trickling back in through the foundation wall next to the pipe so I got a shovel and dug a big ol’ hole next to the house and found it, now I just gotta wait until the sun comes up and the hardware store opens to finish this little project.

At least the frost hasn’t gotten too deep to dig through.

Rebuilding the starter on my 2017 Impreza with 80k miles. Fitting that the starter that wore out is made by Mitsubishi, so all is well in this world.

In the spring it was my Mitsubishi hvac high voltage dc board that failed.

Cleaning up a 98 LeSabre that I swapped a motor on. Hopefully I can at least make my money back

I built a small PC recently. Fully water-cooled. About the size of a shoe box.


Also been working on my brother '14 5.7 Grand Cherokee. We recently installed his ported heads, Comp Cam w/phaser limiter, ARP Head studs. Already had a blower on it for about a year, long tube headers, 3600 stall converter. Thing absolutely rips.
Recently weighed 5450 w/ driver

After more than 10 years, the LT1 clone/Tremec TKO600RR 5 speed is finally sitting in its new nest, my oldest sons 1986 Z28. A big thanks to the help that showed up today, FOR SURE!

Lets hear it marty!

Needs A LOT of small attention and I AM currently on a 4g63 build Sean
I expect it to be running in the spring for sure. I am worried about this flat tappet cam motor so I have my 1.3 break in ratio rockers on it for the first 2-300 miles to keep spring pressures off the lobes and let them break in correctly. Fingers crossed for sure and lots of ZDDP. Way back when I built it, they didn't offer Nitriding services.

Did a little test pass in the granny mobile since it’s cool outside and this thing always rips harder on cold nights.


Actually got a decent launch(had to launch at like 1/4 throttle and then go wot at 20mph. You can hear when I go WOT in the video. ) Dragy said 0-60 in 4.8, or 4.55 w/ 1 foot rollout. Love this damn heavy thing. Not bad for tune only. Can’t help but wonder what it would do in a lighter platform with a decent manual trans.

3000 hadn't moved or even started in a few weeks due to the weather. Last night I fired it up to make sure battery wasn't draining, and to just get some fluids running through it.

It fired up instantly. After I got some heat in the engine I gave the throttle a couple quick whacks, then shut it back down.

With the long tubes on a NA, a throttle whack when its 30 degrees isn't quiet.

Delided my CPU and replaced all thermal paste with liquid metal. Added a new cooler as my old one got noisy. Triple stacked spare fans on the case intake. Dropped the GPU to the lower slot to be farther away from the CPU radiator and fans. Dropped 45C during benchmark. Now I'm running the MSI afterburner overclock scanner to find the max stable GPU settings although my GPU has never really struggled with much except some mining I did awhile back. Still in love with this case

Whats the setup in this guy? I run a 13700k with EK direct die and liquid metal with a RTX 3070ti also with liquid metal, single 280 rad.

Intel i7-7700K kaby lake, MSI GTX 1080, thermal take(just installed an hour ago) 120mm AIO Fan in front and behind, I've also triple stacked intake fans pulling from the bottom, MSI Z270 PC Mate, Kingston Fury hyper x 16GB

Ran the daily Lancer through the touchless car wash. When I got home I gave the interior a quick vac and wipe down. I looked over the outside and saw where the touchless missed a bunch on the bottom of the car so I gave it a quick hand wash and chamoised it dry.

Not bad looking for a 13 year old car that was totaled 3 years ago

Finally mustered the strength to go in the crawl space to fix a water leak and some insulation. Handy spare tarp I had laying around, the terrain is nothing but gravel and scrap concrete bits. Not comfortable for the back or knees.

But, in comparison to some other spaces I've crawled it's quite clean.

Did some drift things to the 350Z

After 11 long years of sitting, we're finally getting my neighbor's '55 Chevy drivable.

Happy early birthday Bud.

Genuinely mean this, if my wife didn’t need dentistry work I’d send you a couple PS or Amazon cards. You’re a good dude, making all these newbies feel welcome.

I needed to get away from work (DSMs), cars (Mostly DSMs and Mitsus), and working on the house/buildings, and decided to learn guitars, two weeks ago.

Picked up a Les Paul.

Wife started wanting me to teach her a few things. She played with the LP, and while she liked it, it was obviously not the most comfortable for her.

Suggested a Stratocaster for her. "Yes. But a cheap one. I'm just learning, and aren't sure I want to buy something expensive." (frugal wives are both good and bad..).

Buy a 2006 Fender Special Edition for $180 (wait for it...). Guitar holds tune and seemingly plays well. I promise to "refinish it".

Fast forward to 01/01/24, she now owns another, 2000 Standard Strat which she practices on daily, and I have the 2006 stripped to bare wood, and am about to refinish, and rebuild from the ground-up with upgrades.

You can take the man out of "mechanicals", but not the "mechanicals" out of the man...(I obviously use the word "man" loosely.)

On a whim you start with a Les Paul? Nothing like having the right tool.
Btw; i thought the Les Paul has the shorter string length,( better for smaller fingers) vs. a Strat, or is it the neck width that’s the issue?
Electric guitars of that era (50’s!!) are timeless design; these two especially. I had a 77 BC Rich Mockingbird that was sweet, but I strum even worse than I wrench.

Me and my 650 bobcat have been putting in work clearing more trees and doing grade work around my future house. Don’t have any pictures of the driveway but had to cut that in too and spread 100 tons of stone. It’s about 500 ft long because nobody like neighbors.

Good to see that youve been able to take advantage of the lack of snow and cold weather around here this year.
