Let's Talk! About anything.

1/2-20 with 100lbs on the end of a foot long wrench can make several thousand pounds. Don't underestimate, lol.

Dad keeps bringing home these trailer loads of scrap from work. It's really something

Ugh. First time uploading YT vids. 20 min vid takes an hour to upload on Davinci Resolve, 20 min vid also takes 11 hours to upload to YT. Jeez.

If you select them from google photos i think they upload faster, i may be wrong though.

Well screw it. I am deleting my account already. Back to Google Photos it is.

Wow, my biggest video i think is just over 30 minutes and I remember it only taking like 10-15 minutes to upload.

Mighty I literally couldn't upload a 30min video without some act of god interrupting it or the internet going down or something. It would probably take 8 hours, if the internet would stay up that long.

This is a shame.



I'm sure he'd sell it, but it's just not for me. If any of you are ever down in Blairsville, GA and you're in the market for a 1969-1972 Sears SS12...................

That's pretty cool.

That is a shame.  Judging by blue color and hood. 1972 SS12.  I'd snatch it if I were near.  Good ol' ghost grille.

Its even got the grill insert piece thingy. I could use one of those for mine.

Yeah usually those are missing. That tractor looks pretty dang complete from what I can see, probably clean up really nice.

It is. I don't completely remember the story on it, but I think what happened is someone tried to steal a part off the drive sys./transmission and broke it in the process. That was also the main part the shop owner needed, so it's just sat here since. And if my memory is correct, I believe it's only been sitting here since 2016. Could be wrong though.

But as I stated before, if any of you are interested in a Sears SS12, remember this thing when you're a little north of Atlanta or in Cleveland, TN or Asheville, NC.

Snake season is on guys. I almost walked on it. Luckily for him he was a black snake, so I let him go. If he was not, well. I guess mowers that actually mow can cut more than just grass.

I rode past several black snakes last week riding my Kawasaki. They don't bother much

I almost stepped on a copperhead a week and a half ago.

No they don't. That's why I drove up to the house to make sure he was a black snake (and to get glasses because I can't see anything that's 2 feet in front of me clearly.) They run the others off so I let him stay.

Hay People,
So, something happened that is totally weird, LOL. I'll start off with my wife. She likes driving my truck I got a few years ago, The "05" Avalanche. She usually don't like what I drive but OK. She recently found one for sale on craigslist and we went to look at it. Body was pretty rust free as far as I can tell but never looked under it, what ever, If the frame is busted I can fix it, LOL. Was an "08" Avalanche. Dealer wanted a fraction of what it was worth because the motor has collapsed lifters, so we got it. Motor work is an easy fix, I'll pull it and tear it down completely and freshen it all up too, so it will last for a long time. That's not the weird part. But here's the truck, real nice for what it is, a lot of life still left in it.


OK, the weird part. I took a pic, now look closely at it.


It's not a very clear pic but I'll describe what is going on here. Look at all the vehicles. There are 6 total in the pic. On the left which is the driveway are my 05 Avalanche and a "91 Cutlass Supreme. On the right which is in the grass, are a "91" Cutlass Supreme and an "84" Jeep Wagoneer. Straight back is an "08" Avalanche and an "84" Jeep Wagoneer.

So, If you add them up, there are 2- "91" Cutlass Supremes, 2- "84" Jeep Wagoneer's,  and 2- Avalanches of "05" and an "08".

The weird part= I THING THEY ARE MULTIPLYING!! LOL. I got cameras and motion lights on them 24/7 and I'm not seeing them do anything. I don't know, any ideas? LOL.

Are...you trying to find a market for vehicle breeding or are you justifying your vehicle hoarding habits? I’m confused

Well, it's been raining for days now. Backyard is a swamp and still filling with water. Noah gathered 2 of everything. So, when it's my turn to get on, guess what I'm bringing, LOL.

Ok I need some help here. My truck is burning oil like crazy and I have no idea why. I changed the oil and ever since it just burns it. I went from 10w40 with stp oil treatment (because I have to have zinc) to 15w40 desiel oil which already has zinc in it. Lots of people run the 15w40 with no issues so I'm not sure its entirely the oil that's the problem. My truck doesnt smoke it just stinks and I keep having to put oil in it. So far I've put 6 quarts in it and they're only supposed to hold 5.

Possibly valve seals

Didnt think about that. Ok I feel alittle better now. It was rebuilt in 1992 then drove for 6 years and parked for 20 so I dont think there is alot of miles on it and the inside is really clean. But I did replace the valve cover gaskets so maybe a little piece of something got in it???

Well turns out nothing is wrong at all and I'm just going crazy. Now the dip stick says it's right at the full mark when earlier it was halfway between full and low. this thing is like an emotional rollercoaster ride...so I suspect the smell I'm smelling isnt oil since it's clearly not burning it so maybe it's running fat or maybe I'm just going crazy and smelling things too.

If you pull a few plugs and check them out you should be able to tell whether it's burning oil.

If it smokes a bunch on startup after sitting for a while it's likely the valve seals, my dad's 85 el Camino did that.
