We have our outdoor Christmas tree up and lit!

 

That looks amazing Tim. I love it

 

I still have to get a tree up that the cats won't take down.
So far the only lights I have on the house are the laser type.
I need to get the light strings down from the attic.

 

My lady put up our 4' tree and finished decorating it, that's all there is.

I'm waiting to see if they ever get my parts to Mexico so I can put the valves together for testing but I'm not gonna hold my breath on it, parts were supposed to ship 2 weeks ago.

Gotta call my contractor friend to see how much to do the new shop foundation, 45' X 25', 14' at the eaves.

 

Good morning Washington truckers!

Eric, Are you in Mexico now waiting for parts or still up here in Washington?

Our greenhouse is going strong!

 

Greenhouse looks awesome.

No tree for us yet, luckily the cat doesn't play with the tree.

Sadly I haven't driven my truck in a couple months. She's hibernating at the moment, until I can work on the fuel system a little bit.

 

@Tim green house looking good, some fresh veggies coming your way huh.

Heading outside to swap the camber bushing around, likely drop off for alignment tomorrow and start trouble shooting my other car then.

 

No, we've been home in Ocean Park a week now trying to just catch up on things around here. A lot falls through the cracks when you're gone for most of a year. Because the customer was paying for me to just sit around doing nothing while they and our OEM for the valves we have issues with were playing games, we were supposed to have new working parts for the valves by the 20th of November and they are still sitting in the factory in Bremerhaven, so they sent me home till after the first of the year. Not going to complain as the most time I've had of this year was like 3 or 4 days. I was working 10 on 4 off while in Edmonton then 30 days on 30 off north of Grande Prairie, my on 30 day off though I had to go to Louisiana for 3 weeks then down to Mexico after 2 days off then 6 10 hour days while in Mexico and in Louisiana till I left Guadalajara Friday 30 November, you know had to get that holiday pay for Thanksgiving.

Getting ready to break ground on my new Man Cave, 45' X 25' should give me a little bit of space to play. Wife has agreed that I can add a 2 post lift to work on the toys. Got my Bronco that's well past due for some TLC but she still runs good, wife want's new seats and new tires before we make the road trip down to Moab. I think I'd like to add a grill guard and winch first also.

My real baby starts as soon as I can get doors on the shop, 1976 Motto Guzzi 1000 cc Convert. I burned a piston in it just before I transferred to Everett in 1996, it's been a hanger queen since but I got all the major parts necessary for the rebuild, new set of pistons, cylinders, rings, bearings, larger oil sump, external oil filter modification, High Energy Ignition kit, carb rebuild kits, new main jets for the carbs.

The green house looks great Tim, if we were home more I'd sure be thinking about one especially since the wife wants me to turn Vegan, that's not happening. All I have to do is say barbecue and that one goes out the window quick with here though.

 

Very nice. What is the inside temp like compared to outside?


Do you have any idea on where to get the tool that lets you disconnect the parking brake cable splice joint on the Ford trucks?
The one I have that I got at one of the Tool Towns is too small for the truck.

This is the one I got and just does not have the power to pull the cable out.

 

Dang Tim that looks awesome!

You've done a ton with the greenhouse since my visit!

 

Eric, Thanks for the info. My wife grew up in the midwest on a pig farm, she love barbecued meat as much as I do.

Sean, The greenhouse is about 15 degrees above outside at night.

 

I have the Lisle 44210, not sure it would provide any more leverage. Haven't even tried to use it yet.

I may have asked before, but don't remember.
What year Bronco do you have?

 

I did manage to get the camber bushing rotated earlier in the afternoon, hopefully Firestone has time in the next couple days for an alignment.

 

Good job Bentley!
