Damn. That was close.
That metal shard sticking out. Felt something was carving deep...

Yeah, got one few miles S of the shop here. Then I guess there is a big one up North near Paradise, from what I’ve heard. Lots of smoke in the area. The 25-40mph winds are creating havoc!

So swapped the 2 identical motors and the pass side heat is functional again.
175 for a little servo the size of a pack of cigarettes.

I have had a photo of this truck in my files for 6 years. I finally decided to do something with it...

So got home, checked the jeep out closely, drivers side manifold missing 2 bolts. And the converter to Y pipe is loosened too. Just like passenger side, which was missing all its bolts.

Skip the locking hood and rig a flash-bang under it so that whoever tries again gets the surprise of their life.
Bear spray and paintball cannon. Like the one mythbusters used to paint the mona lisa...
My buddy was telling me about home protection in africa,they keep their paintballs in the freezer.
I guess firearms are prohibited or hard to come by there.

That's a cool one Dave. On the opposite end of the spectrum....

A buddy of mine who I graduated high school with got home from his stint in the Marines and bought a ‘71 Roadrunner. A bunch of punk kids kept trying to get the hood open at night and he got tired of chasing them off. He rigged a flash grenade under the front bumper he had ”borrowed” from his service time in an upside down metal can and ran a trip wire up to the hood.
One night, the kids opened the hood...BOOM!
The kids never tried again.

Here's their latest. These just came back from SEMA. A friend builds them.
Back in the 70’s a neighbour at the other end of the block kept having his under dash stereo stolen. He screwed a bunch of fish hooks to the back of the stereo. Aparrently there was no need for an alarm,with the would-be thief screaming for help.
Owner kicked the crap out of the guy. Cops showed up and charged the owner for something i cant remember.

Cool, but I’m not a fan of the bagged and slammed look. It’s been way overdone and it just looks dumb to me.

True, back then guys walked out with claymores and never got caught. It was before computers and the like were around to track stuff.

Today’s stupid work story...
The company admin (20 year professional) gets a receipt for charges from the shipment packing company we use for everything. She claims not to recognize the card number or the bank it's from. She sends emails to the entire senior staff, but not me. She gets a half dozen people wound up trying to figure out what the bill is for and where the credit card came from. Nobody knows, but everyone wildly speculates.
3 hours later, she gets the vendor on the line and tells them that they have billed the wrong card and the invoice isn’t ours. They get a bunch of their people looking into it and can’t find the problem.
2 hours after that she finally emails me with the invoice and asks if I know anything about it.
Yes I do, that’s our packing company and that credit card belongs to the CEO. Its the one they have on file and have always used. You didn’t read the receipt properly and the so-called credit card number you asked everyone about is actually the invoice number. Look on the last page of the invoice and see the credit card billing info plainly shown. You also got the bank wrong. Then I sent her a photo of the actual card.
Silence.
An hour later, I get a reply from her saying simply “I’m a dumbass.”
Yes...you are.
