As some of you know when I picked up my new M15 some Ahole had twisted the fuel line off where it comes out of the injector pump.
I have a new line ordered but it appears that it is impossible to get to the rear of the engine where the fuel line goes into the block to send fuel into the...
Well....me and Elmo are sitting in Memphis waiting to board the final leg of the journey to Birmingham.
No hot flight attendants on the way down from Omaha.
We'll see what's on next one.
I hate flying commercial........commuter planes are just Greyhound buses with wings.
I sat behind two...
So....is the consenses here that we are obligated to kill ourselves in order to preserve the life of a moron?
I quit driving a commercial vehicle in 2002 because my nerves could no longer stand the strain of dealing with drooling mongoloids who drive like they are the only person on the road...
The specific ex-POW's I met were survivors of the infamous Battan Death March who saw their fellow POW's bayonetted, shot, starved, beaten, denied medical care and forced to march in the tropic heat with no food or water. They were also used as slave labor to support the Japanese war effort. Ask...
I thought it was pretty clean in my first post:
1. I was traveling around 45 MPH on a two lane road in a deuce.
2. The road was familiar to me (travel it it Restone all the time).
3. The Designated Idiot was alone in the car (as far as I could tell).
4. I could see the device in his...
I have met many WWII vets that survived the brutalities of the Japanese.....while some of the leaders were brought to justice many Japanese soldiers that tourtured and murdered Allied POW's were never held accountable. Every former Japanese POW I met said that they would never forgive their...
UPDATE!!!!!!!!
Got a call from Jeremy a few hours ago.........he made it back to Minot with no issues at all.
He is snoozing but I'm sure he will add to the thread when he gets rested up.
I called the airport in Omaha.....they said "Delta is ready when you are".
Maybe Elmo's favorite...
Well...the saga is winding down......Jeremy left early this AM from ZigggyO's LZ.
I went down to the truckstop with him to get some final pics and make sure he got "the tin in the wind".
We had a quick "heart attack in a sack" breakfast and he hit the air.
Since I have had no call from him...
I am going to put a deuce dropside bed on my M915 but my plan is to leave the 5th wheel and make the bed easily installed/detached.
You never know when you are going to need the trailer pulling capability of a tractor.
Once the 5th wheel is off your options are limited to pullling a tag...
There are several manufacturers repopping fuel tanks for older vehicles.
Check the hot rod and vintage truck magazines to see if one makes a tank for your vehicle.
J.C. Whitney also has replacement fuel tanks for a lot of vehicles. Gas Tank Parts & Accessories - JCWhitney
The M880's were...
Use a thin cutting disc in a large angle to lop off the heads......hit the rest of the riviet with a blast of cold air from something that will super cool it........tap it out with a punch with a BFH.
This mission just about finished me.....I have have had all the hot weather driving in a hot truck I can enjoy for a while......I will be going back to school in a few weeks and I have some stuff to accomplish around the LZ before then.
Here are some pics for today.
Jeremy (Bighurt) arrived...
Diesels are high compression engines....in cold weather it takes a lot of Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) to start them.
Even my Ford Ranger Diesel has two batteries in it and it's a small 4 banger.
Lots of civy diesel trucks have dual batteries but they are set up for 12 rather than 24 volt.
If...
Small update.....Wed afternoon....I helped Ziggy move some trailers around today but the heat is still kicking my butt......we had another excellent meal made by GIP......pork chops and other fixins.
Elmo is stalking his love interest "Teriyaki Chicken".....he dissapeared a couple of hours...
I am not going to put my life in danger because some moron thinks he has the right to put the general public at risk.
I'll take my chances in court and let someone else bury the idiot.
In this case the ditch on my side of the road was several feet deep and had a high bank to the right of...
