Don't know why I can't get the TowRolla out of my head. Who doesn't like a beater Toyota? So I've been idly searching eBay and Craigslist. I found one likely candidate: Not a too terrible deal. I think it's in Orange County CA though. But what caught my eye in the search results were these … Continue reading TowRolla update
I Need Me a Towrolla
Lately, in my head is the idea to build a tow-rolla: Found on Puddin's Fab Shop, on the youtubes. https://youtu.be/aQpoBhPrIGw?si=8KTY5Rx51ox0Hmkq Damn those cars are tough. He's been pulling and pushing cars with it like a tractor. The ATF? Looking Ok. almost normal. Did you read that famous Craigslist ad? Let me tell you a story. … Continue reading I Need Me a Towrolla

Is the coast clear? Winston checks to see if the evil vacuum is gone.
Underpowered & Underweight
The monster truck needed maintenance. Normally, I change the oil, check/fill the fluids, and lube at 3000 miles. It's a habit, even though I'm using synthetic and can go longer.

It'll give you an indulgence. It'll scare away the debbil. It'll spring some soul from … Continue reading Speaking with the Big Guy

I was going to fix that board in the fence door. But Winston likes to keep an eye on the driveway.
Again?
I headed out on the bike for my normal Monday ride at lunch. It was hot as hell. As I crossed the big intersection near my house, I was thinking, "Nah, I don't need a repair kit on the bike. I don't go far enough that I can't walk back. Maybe if I go off … Continue reading Again?

My good morning stare. Or should I say, get out of bed and feed me stare.
Odds & Ends
Good lord, another week down, and it's already August. I've been hammered at work. I have a project that is overdue, and another that has to be done from ground zero by our customer event in October. It's been a funny week, since I spend most of my day listening to news and podcasts while … Continue reading Odds & Ends
