I simply can't help myself, I just calibrated the thing and there was this huge swath of hot, light-colored pavement... You know I must paint, I am an artiste πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ¨

Calibration season going strong for the last month and a half! I think we've done 50ish? Been pulling 14-18h days, lots of afternoon pickups, the fleets CLEAN this year πŸ‘Œ Next open is 3 weeks out, apologies, always booking; Emergencies as they come! Bless y'all, Happy Spring!

Back in North America, been back for like 30 hours, slept nil, running spray day support and some final calibrations✌️ Back to normal operations, phone lines are open again, thanks for your patience gang! Now we can get back to spraying before the snow hits πŸ˜πŸ‘

They lent us a scooter, we have been travelling: Missed a typhoon, sank karaoke while the house flooded, swam in the Pacific, three hotels, 200km by bike and the beers are like 43Β’/ea. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ Calibrations will resume Nov 6, confirming dates/times as I can but you are on calendar 🫑

You are having trouble reaching me because I am in Vietnam! Mobile data here is excellent and very cheap, imagine paying $6 bucks a month for 4gb a day πŸ₯Ή Rogers can barely get a text out from here and charges me $18 a day for the displeasure, so probably email or dm me πŸ˜…

I will keep this brief: Dorman makes exhaust manifold clamps for the broken studs on many V8s. Including the Triton 5.4 2v... Gamechanger! Truck sounds and runs like its five years old again! I will replace both sides at some point but this would probably hold forever πŸ˜πŸ‘

I went and swapped a pair of actuators today! My customer stated everyone told them these are unobtainable? Even if they were (aren't): You can loosen some nuts and slip generic 4" actuators on this boom! Which is exactly what I did πŸ˜‡πŸ‘ Warranty stopped in 2009, we good πŸ˜‚

This unit goes from one customer to another, one gets a spot back, one gets a sprayer, and I get a one-time capital budget kick to fix items on its list! I try to keep them nice, they follow me... Most of your old rigs upgraded a dying one and live on with their little bugs πŸ˜…

Take it to the dealer eh? I went to school with those kids they're dumb too don't worry. "Hey Ford techs can you check the driveshaft when you're doing axle seals for me?" "Yeah driveshafts fine bro!" Guess I should have specified, the u-joints sir, how are they. 🫩🚬

New shock day, poor Bus got every last mile out of the last set! Hopefully it will help the insane tire wear we've had going on πŸ˜‚ In my defense the last set wasn't leaking... Anymore anyway 🫠

I will be honest, I much prefer to steal the Princess Auto press in your shop for this kind of work, but sometimes that's not an option... Luckily this absolutely ridiculous hydraulic puller I bought last year is perfectly capable πŸ˜‚ I gotta make a stand for it or sth πŸ˜…

Woke up to Rogers yeeting me off the network entirely, my truck in for a differential service, and a rig down five towns over 🫠 I guess I'm working out of my car for today! If you need me I will be back up by next week, I'm taking a day off this is getting ridiculous βœŒοΈπŸ˜…

The things I witness! Also, careful putting the conrods back on, they are sensitive to orientation but they look IDENTICAL. Pump runs 90Β° TDC to TDC; Check the cycle in the half-case or you get to double-check all your work like I had to πŸ˜… Rig runs super sweet, I am pleased πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ

Simple side project! Nineteen years since I bought this rig as a full roadie, commuted on it in T-dot for a decade as it lost parts, ran the last eight fixed-gear πŸ˜… Needed regeared for the country and a new chain πŸ‘ I can still skid it, in my chucks, a hipster never dies πŸ˜‡

Well, the valve seals perfectly... Just happens to be sealing the wrong hole πŸ˜‚

I think it's fair to say after owning this lathe for like a dozen years now: You might only need it once a year, but it saves your whole butt every time! I even made my wedding ring on this 😁 Make? Unknown. Model? Some. Vintage? Your guess is as good as mine πŸ˜‚ +/-

I just got home, its 7:55 pm on a Monday. The kit I bought did not include the only oil seal on the entire pump, separate item πŸ˜‘ Its peak busy season, I have done myself a mischief! Left it spraying, ordered part on site, hope it comes by Friday, please let it be Friday 🀞πŸ₯²
