It looks to me like the dog is trying to hide in shameIs that a tree up before Thanksgiving?

Why, what do you mean? ?...
the absolute beauty of those peer-reviewed operations is - you can not afford to make wrong claim though, if you do - you are done.
You can still make money, go into politics, lol, but no one in the field will ever take you seriously. That's what keeps everyone honest, nothing else needed...
Man, must feel good to be able to just... do it all! In two hours, no less.Noticed a slight exhaust tick while driving the truck lately. Serviced it last weekend and found an exhaust manifold bolt head missing.....yay? Picked up a new bolt at the dealership and started working on it when I got home from work today. Tried a screw extractor that, well, broke off in the stud?. Now I had no choice but to remove the manifold. After it was removed there was about 1/2” of the stud sticking out from the head?, awesome!! Heated around the area and put a pair of vice-grips on it and started working it back and forth annnnnnd SNAP!!!!!! It broke off flush with the head???. With a flush spot again I tried drilling it out and using an extractor again with no luck so the only other option is to drill & tap it for the new bolt. Drilling & tapping went smooth, manifold is back on, no ticking and all put back together after just under 2hrs. All of that for a $4.98 bolt View attachment 137190View attachment 137191View attachment 137192View attachment 137193View attachment 137194View attachment 137195

tell me about that fire pit! Is it gas? Can you burn logs in it?Might be the last "decent" night for a fire until spring around these parts.

It's a wood burning fire pit, not gas. Called a Solo Stove Yukon firepit and it rocks! Bought it earlier this year and have sold more people on getting their own after sitting around ours. Low smoke, gets nice and warm, awesome flames, looks cool... Only complaint is it eats firewood fast because the way air flows thru it so well. Not cheap for a firepit, but can't imagine we'd buy another as well as this is made (all stainless).tell me about that fire pit! Is it gas? Can you burn logs in it?
