Good morning ofc,

You guys have been busy. WH, my brother too loves his avalanch.

We have a winter storm watch for the next 3 days.. I am so over this winter. I want to smoke pot on the patio, is that too much to ask??

DD, i am thinking of you guys...I know you're starting your new job soon.

Bud all I use is scissors !-- Put the cuts in what I call a cup and collar !-- A plastic basket with a neopreme foam insert to hold the cut in place !-- Drop it into an empty hole and forget about it ! -- All the veg./ cloning
boxes got the same nutes !
Bud -- Back before my fall I had a plan to have a little metal working shop and just tinker my days away !
I made my living as a young man doing R&D for concrete machine companies !-- I was pretty good at it too !-- Anyway my swan song was to be my new engine design --"Wet Heat " -- My version of the Bliss-Leavitt Mark 7 Steam torpedo engine !-- It was a closed system and mine is an open system !-- It's a great sadness to me that it will never be !--

You never know buddy things could turn around and you could end up with lots of spare time and extra money to be able to do your tinkering

Rose it's gonna be a big adjustment !-- When she was spending the weekend at my daughter's for musta been over a year it was a hard adjustment but after awhile I got use to it !-- If we can just have a stable income for a year I think I can get her out the hospital ! -- I think she headed back with the car this evening or maybe in the morning !-- We gonna get her set up with the minimum at first and she has cousins up there to help so I don't hurt myself !-- They been trying to save her soul !-- That is so funny to me !

 

[Keef]

Bud -- When I fell and shattered my face I bulged several disc in my neck !-- Left arm doesn't always work right !-- Took me a long time to learn to use it again some !-- No a one handed iron worker ? -- That dream is dead Cuz !

 

[umbra]

Yep Dog,,they did not put those engines in but a few Avalanches,,and this bad boy is one of them. Has the Tow package,,sunroof,,heated seats,,and yes,,a badass engine. I love it because i can keep my tools dry and safe,,and can drop the back and carry 8ft sheetrock ifen i want. This thing can cruise at 100 with no problem,,,well except for the Highway patrol. lol. Yehaaaaaaaaaa

For some reason I thought you drove a Ford pick up with a triton V 10. Morning everyone. Looking for work again, lol. President of the company diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma and went into hospice on Monday. Company is in a tail spin, all deals in progress are shut down and on hold.

 

[WeedHopper]

I use to have a white F350 Dually with stacks. Sold it in Florida. That Triton V10 sounds awesome though. Gonna goggle it right now.

 

[WeedHopper]

Hummmmm,,has some bad reviews Umbra,,but that dont always mean anything.

 

[Budlight]

That really sucks Umbra really sorry to hear about your bad news my friend I hope your day gets better

 

[Rosebud]

Oh no umbra, that is so sad for her and everyone. Man, your walking around fine and all of a sudden hospice is at your door? That is tough.

Keef, give dd a hug from me.

I am off in the snow to the trainer. I would rather take a nap. I think this is called depression... i need sun!

 

[Kraven]

Wow Umbra, thats not good news.
Rose, chin up and put one foot in front of the other ~hugs~ been there and know the struggle, hope just being out of the house will break the winter spell if only for a bit.

 

[Keef]

Will do Rose !-- I haven't heard from her today she probably still asleep !-- I think she supposed to be home with the car maybe this evening !-- She has trouble seeing at night so may wailing till morning if she waits too long !-- I'm sure her and her sister are having a good visit !-- I just lost a brother so I told her take as long as she wants !-- She don't start her job till next weekend !
Kraven how is that new Florida law working out ? -- How much is gonna change ?

 

[Keef]

Umbra that is a pain !-- I mean for U !-- I hate getting blindsided like that !-- U think U got a plan and then outta nowhere U like a bug hitting a windshield !-- Hope something good happens for U soon !-- U due some good times !

hopper, don't touch that v10 with a 39 and a half foot pole. 90 percent of the gas engine work i do is on the v10. ford has an oiling issue with the v10, and the 5.4l v8. mostly in fleet vehicles that are prone to extended idle times. the rollers between the vale stems and the camshaft lobes don't have enough oiling, wipes a cam lobe out, lots of sparkly metal in the engine then. many times its time for a rebuild, or replacement. not to mention the cam timing pensioner problems in their v6, and several v8's. that takes some engine out too. i love working on fords, plenty of work. Ford tough! psshh. lol
oh yeah, and the F650/F750 trucks are made in mexico by a branch of International, one of the cheapest truck manufactures on the market. fords 6.7 power stroke diesel is made in mexico, keeping with the tradition of calling engines by the city they was made in; cleveland, windsor, i guess they could call this new deisal a chihuahua, thats where they are made.

 

[Keef]

I never been able to be picky about what I drove !-- Mostly it was whatever I could lay hands on ! -- The nephew got the replacement engine in the car and D.D. says it runs fine and the engine is paid for ! - He really came thru for us !-- When he opens the bag I sent and finds that jar ? ---I know he gonna be smiling !

I had the V 10 I was not very happy with it super hard on fuel and no power so I switched out to the 6 L diesel and I just love it both trucks were F3 50 short box the v10 was a 2 Wheel Drive. and my diesel is four-wheel-drive

 

[yarddog]

the 6.0 is a pretty good setup. it has its problems, but who doesn't?? don't mess with a 6.4 powerstroke. junkyity junk-junk right there..

No worries my friend. This Avalanche is my last Truck. Its paid for and so is my Wifes Jaguar. Im not ever buying or going in debt again on vehicles.

 

[Keef]

I had 2 Chevy S-10 pick ups --D.D. killed one and I kilt the other one !-- Dam trees ! --I heard that about not going in debt on a new vehicle Hopper !-- I would rather have something paid for that does the job than one making payments on something that is new or nicer !-- Had that used 50,000 mile engine put in the car and we rolling again and no payments ! --
