oh man just today alone I spent I think around $25,000. Of course that is off the shelve parts along with some wicked built stuff but the sad part is I don't think that includes fluids :shock:

Atleast I would have some hefty crates to make a house out of :ROTFL:

Every time I think of making a large purchase, the wife comes along with something we NEED to buy for the family or house. Do we really NEED safety stuff to baby proof the kid? (Just put him in one of the dog crates we have til he's a teenager) Do we need to save for a new roof/HVAC/Water Heater/Etc? Can't we just rough it like they did back in Mudd's early days...you know..nice cave, discover some fire, hunt up some berries and stuff. :goink:

Just make the purchase and buy a roll of duct tape, errrr ahhhh kid proof tape. If it don't work on the objects your tryin to protect I promise you they'll work on him :jester:

I never kid proofed a dang thing when I raised my little wipper snappers, but I guess I was the child proofer myself :twisted:

Mudd ate mud, how ya think he got the name anyhow? Wow so 30 seconds ago :shock:

OK you two
been staying out of this but now
just cause you are a little younger than I am you'll be here soon enough, trust me :ROTFL:

I was going to let you in on who's coming by the garage in a couple of weeks ( on a Saturday and Sunday)
but now I will just keep it to myself and post up photos afterwards :goink:

and child proofing a house, only takes a few times of them getting their hand slapped or their bottom and they learn what they can touch and what they can. Worked on all of mine anyways ( yes I have some, step children but helped raise them so......) :-)r

You only know part of the story

Oh Larry is still alive talked to him a few minutes tonight
he always calls me either on his way to or from getting food, not sure whats up with that :shock:

Megalos · **Posted:** Thu Feb 16, 2012 10:47 am

So here's the thing...

I've got the cash to buy UCAs and an ARB bumper. My hesitation is, reported black/sludgy oil at my last 3000mile oil change and low coolant. I'm concerned there might be something going on with the engine but I can't determine that myself with my limited (VERY LIMITED as you all know) mechanical knowledge and experience.

Any suggestions on what to look for with issues regarding oil and low coolant? Are these ill omens?

And Tomm...I've tried the swats. The boy is more stubborn than I am is the big problem...probably smarter than me too!

Plant is cutting back to 3 days a week of work, scary slow in the pigment industry for printing. Looks like I will be doing a lot of cleanup in the lab in the next 6-8 weeks :cry:

How much coolant we talking about? I've had to add some to mine off and on, not much but???
Black / sludgy?
How long do you let it sit and warm up before driving, how far is it to work, all of that can have some effect on the oil and the way it looks

Hart
I ordered the stage, have permission from the Zoning Board to have it sitting over by the creek for 3 days, have a lighting / sound crew lined up, of course the bands are already lined up as well. Beer permit is good for 3 days as well.......Oh they found a third pole as well
neighbor said parking across the creek was not a problem, can get 30-40 vehicles over there
Should be a good time. :pepper:

I am electing myself as head of wardrode and am bringing my roll of paracord, wait that may be a little too thick, I'll stop and get some dental floss on my way! :ROTFL:

TAHOE · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:46 am

No, I'm salary so I do not have to take time off like the plant,.....YET. Plus, my testing stuff they make is a day behind them so I usually have stuff to do.

I had to add coolant to our '05 last summer, wasn't leaking, nothing, but go low. I added it and it's stayed perfect since..... :juggle:

My Tahoe had some major sludging last fall that I noticed changing oil. Literally chunks coming out of filter. I changed it and had to end up pulling pan to replace oil pump and pan and bottom of motor were very clean other than a very small pile of sludge in pan. Not sure why it happened, but did. Motor will be coming out very soon for rebuild anyway :mrgreen:

New shocks tomorrow...... :banghead:

I'm not looking forward to it.
