Good Morning All! Hey Mitch, did your girl point out any diamonds at your friend's shop?

Actually she did buy some jewelry. Another of our friends is having a Birthday Party tomorrow at our same drinking hole. It's customary for girlfriends to buy jewelry for each other on their birthdays. And usually the other girl friend's chip in to buy it. So since we were at the new jewelry and diamond store she thought she wouldn't spend the money there. She bought 15 million dong worth of jewelry for her. Which is about $650 USD. Chin has so much of her own jewelry and diamonds now I forbid her to buy anymore.

I'm thinking with the Milwaukee battery tools I could up it a little just tossing in a 3/8 impact wrench to accompany the standard tools. Figure if I need the 1/2 " wrench it might be more than I want to be messing with roadside

and the Milwaukee 1/2" is big and heavy but has gobs of torque. Rarely use mine here at work, 3/8" does most. Could throw a 1/2" breaker bar in the bag if concerned.

They give you a heart monitor which pops up your readings on the big screen in the room so you can track. It also gives your calories burned.
Usually six stations do the exercise at that station three times 25-30 seconds each four seconds rest in between then 10 seconds to do to the next station .

Sounds like a combo Crossfit-HIIT workout. Cool.
I have a linked heartrate monitor on the bike and in the trainer App. Caloric burn totals in the bike system but everything else off the watch...which is a bit less accurate. I need to get a chest strap.

Highest caloric burn has been 1350 during a 90 minute ride. "Thousand Calorie Thursday" is a thing.

Been out on a family visit so I'm limited on gear . Pilates and Yoga lately, which I think my joints appreciate. My core has been burning last 3 days. A good thing.

Keep at it!!

Just in general, I need to get some of those long extensions and a long bar anyhow. :thumbsup:

I have a old military duffle bag of sorts. The heavy canvas and large zipper make it work well. wrenches, pliers, dikes, multimeter, hammer, screw drivers, safety wire pliers, tapes, wiring odds and ends go with.
 
fire extinguisher on passenger's side floor, nice and close. I usually just bring a gallon of water. It will get you somewhere and if for some reason it spills, it is just water and not sticky coolant

Coolant and a fire extinguisher : )

Yeah. Don't get the two mixed up.

Watched a guy dump antifreeze on an engine fire . Saw him getting it out of the trunk as I drove by. Hit the brakes and U-turned.. grabbing the fire extinguisher as I stopped a safe distance away... too late... whoommfff

And I don't think antifreeze containers actually have a flammable warning on them that I recall. Just the poison control warning for ingestion and CA Prop whatever label that's on everything.

NFPA does classify the ethylene or propylene glycol types as flammable liquids even at a 50/50 mix.
 
Service the mowers and cut the grass today. Looks like we will get Andy's garden tilled tomorrow, take some electronics to recycle and some to the landfill and Ted and I have a whiskey tasting Saturday pm. Looks like a busy weekend. Mopar joe has the tiller and about the same price as renting a rear tine man killer from Rent All. It does a nice job.

Or get the cheaper Ryobi 1/2 inch impact, i keep one in my road trip box that gets tossed in for road trips. Though I had to leave it at home this trip. Sadly.
 
Garry and Mopar Joe stopped over to Tom & Vickie's to put a shine on Tom's racecar. Not bad for mostly original paint. (stripe and vinyl top too) Tom is TomMoparMan here on the site. He lives across town. The car runs 8.70's @150.

Yeah, I'm pretty heavy into the Milwaukee suite so I'm sticking with it. Probs go with the M12 3/8 tool. That way I don't have to get new chargers and I can swap batteries across everything. The Milwaukee 1/2 M18 with the 5.0 battery pack is a serious torque machine for the garage though!
 
Morning, got my walk with the dogs in, now breakfast and coffee. Mike can you send your shine up the car guys here? I need to get it shined up for Sunday.
 
Have to run into town for a new air dryer for the compressor. Did get a lot done on the Desoto, moved transmission cooler lines and added a cooler.
 
Took me way too long to figure it out, but in the last couple years I finally got the timing right trimming these 2 Spirea. Gotta do them early fall and leave a little shaggy before winter

I did a little spot spraying of the dandelions that were blooming. Wow, I need to mow. I think I will raise it up nd bg the blooming ddl's and see what it looks like. Might lower the deck and hit it again. I have seme granular weed killer (no fert) I can put on after mowing. Probably need to apply early in the morning when the grass is wet from dew.
 
Impala needs power steering pressure hose. Looks like fun…
Brought shop crane in, will work on it until hose lands this afternoon.
