MOWER BLADES FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fml that took forever.

very proud of myself:

2022-01-16:
- 6 hour mow
- 4 acres or so .. weed wacker + zero turn
- doing everything myself now, love it

2021-01-18:
- removed the cowbar off the front of my truck!!
- took 3 hours or so, lots of rusted/stripped bolts
- had my dad on the phone annoying me but giving me support for 2 hours or so, it was real fun hah
- it was funny when it finally dropped, we both were all excited lmao
- farm life

automotive stuff is also a very good workout.. lots of grip/hands/forearms for sure, but even core etc. doing all kinds of stuff when you're at war w/ bolts lmao.

love it

I def understand what you are talking about. I had a car where the brake line was rusted and the the fuel injectors had to be replaced.

The bolts to remove the engine head attached by screws in tight places where hands can't fit and you have to get to it from under, full of scars and scratches but so good when you get it out. Then put it back once finished.

So I had to remove the break line especially from the master cylinder those bolt are mofo's. But I found about these twist groove sockets which work amazing on rusted bolts, when you twist it while attached it grips the head the tighter you rotate it and comes off, def check it out. Called twist sockets.

Learned a lot about the braking system of a car from the cylinder to the tires, bleeding brakes, etc. So fun.

yeah man it's mad fun.

hoping it's a long lasting obsession hah.







I BOUGHT a 1979 Ford F-250 Ranger Lariat Supercab !!!!!!!!!

my obsession with buying a classic truck is now over .. it's now transitioned in how to get it running strong and restoring it.

it'll be a lot of work. having so much fun already. I had to figure out how to get the throttle not to stick in order to drive it onto my property .. so literally day 1 i'm learning stuff.

been giving it an initial cleanup and trying to figure out why my carb is leaking fuel. need to check all fluids this weekend and give it an oil change.. hah.

for this classic truck, i plan to do 99.9% of things myself. plan is to restore this thing to beauty and learn a fu*kton, immerse myself in it.

the first night i saw it and bought it (144 mi from home, not sure how i was gonna get it back):



when it finally got towed home and i had to figure out how to get it to drive onto my property:






loving it..



also.. been trying to figure out how to get 40's on my fun truck .. pretty sure i'll be able to do it soon. going to be hilariously fun. hahah.

You are getting deep in the truck game!

hah yea kinda, that's the plan for now hah. love trucks!

I had a got a one owner 1968 f250 camper special in 2WD. Had all the dealer brochures and 390 V8 ran like a top. Just needed brakes and some TLC. Ended up selling it for like $400. Now every time I see ford trucks of that vintage it makes me kick myself.

Not as good of a story as the old timers that sold Shelby cobras and Yanko Camaros for chips, but gives me a little taste.

dang!!!!! ya man that could go for A LOT of $$ now lol, sux! stuff on bringatrailer.com goes for so much $$, been following a few things on there for a while now.

that's awesome tho. that's a beautiful truck.

ran a "hard mile" the other day, 6:2x.. dang. rough (for me)

feel unhealthy lately but work has been insane so that's contributing a lot to it imho.

getting back on the veggie stir frys! need the nutrients/veggies :>

got one 40 on.. literally took all day for me to get it sorted. now that i have everything figured out, should be quicker to put the rest on.

seems to fit perfect lmao.

dark photo but ya, now it's symmetric. can't wait to put the rest on. waiting for some proper tire pry bars and pry bar sleeves so i dont damage the rims like i did the first one.
