Here’s the course that my neighbor put in-


And here’s a drone video I made of one of the car shows there. There was once a dragstrip there, it’s now used as a private runway.

I saw this when looking around, looks like a worthy addition to almost any mechanics tool box.

Sure.... now you post an inexpensive set..... after I fought to get the bearing out! :););)

Successful day! Transfer case back in, Jeep is drivable! The clanking noise heard before the rebuild is gone. Ran it through the 4wd ranges, working fine. Brakes work great, transmission shifting great. Only one more thing to do... change the gear oil in the front differential. If the oil in there is as bad as the rear oil, it's long overdue.

2 out of 3 of my kids think you just have to take a vehicle to Jiffy Lube every few thousand miles.... I have tried to teach them that maintenance can be a good deal more than just oil changes... maybe some day.....

Since I had the mechanic hat on, our little go-getter car decided that it wanted some love too...... It was a bit chilly this morning when I went to run an errand, so decided to turn up the heat a little. The darn temperature control decided to give up.... won't turn without a bunch of crunching!

The parts breakdown shows it is one 'module' containing the A/C switch, blower switch, temp switch, defrost switch, fresh air / recirculating switch. Checked with Nissan parts ---- $415 -- WHAT.?? I wonder what they would charge to put it in! My guess the total would be around $800.

Found a used one at a salvage yard in Ft. Worth. $60 shipped with a 1 year warranty. It should be here by Thursday.

Roy, I hope you have avoided the alligoritis! Hope your daughter gets well soon!

BEF, hope your land search finds you a suitable property.

Drew, that's amazing the amaryllis bloomed down in the basement. Strong stock!

David, take your time on the cleanout project. Those types of jobs always morph into bigger projects.

M7040, is that a pic of your house? Beautiful if it is....

Time to go relax....
Everyone have a great evening!

Good evening.

Got the winter firewood straightened out and covers are up to protect the wood. More to split likely tomorrow.

Then finished the wiring on the Kawasaki race bike. I “saved“ the harness it originally had to get it running. Long term plan is to modify another stock harness, I need this one as a pattern. Not my favorite loom material, but it is functional.



Have a good evening.

Thanks.
This area in VA is better for us in the long run. The WV land is very pretty, but only one grocery store and tsc close. Walmart, Lowe’s or HD is close to an hour away. In the winter, it could get rough.

At this VA lot, at least 2 Walmart’s within 20 minutes, and so much more shopping wise. Also no shared road.

Wife wanted to go tomorrow, but I got busy at work today and can’t go tomorrow. BTW, I’m down to 4 weeks before new job.
I did ask for a well quote, and will call another driller tomorrow. Real estate guy sent me the perc info. 4 BR conventional system.
I’m also car shopping. Would like to get that done before new job. Looking at Mazda CX-5.

House at bottom is end of the road. Road comes down right side then goes below the lot. Over half woods. Hill top up in the woods, but not big elevation gain.
AT and blue ridge parkway is near. Perc in upper field area. Electric at the road, both right and bottom sides.
