Pellet heads!! What's up today?

Thanks artc . This model actually uses the newer type rear calipers, you need to (turn) them while compressing the piston, for it to re-seat properly. Fronts are still C-Clamp / dual piston, from what I remember.. ( It's been a few years, CRS has set in. )

Picked up one of these for the back calipers:

Amazon.com: 8milelake Universal 21pcs Disc Brake Caliper Wind Back Tool Car Truck Auto Tool Set: Automotive

Nice kit - another to join the umpteen 'specialty' kits already on the shelf, that get used every 2-5 years or so.
(Gonna need a bigger shelf soon.)

re: 'C' clamp, will be bringing one or three of those also, in various sizes.

* Storm: I will have to check w/ the office today - depending on how busy the Service bay is today/tonight, may have to defer until next weekend.
* That wouldn't bother me right now, internal clock is saying (2am) is not 'optimal' to be doing this service today.

12+ " of white chit outside, time to go venture out & play in the sn..w ..

Have a fun day all,
Rob

 

Bring back February.

 

Pete back on 8/18/2014 I got this puppy Seagate Expansion 5TB Desktop External Hard Drive USB 3.0 (STEB5000100) for $29.00

 

Amen to that brother !!

 

Been texting with my neighbor who says that they are going out soon to snow blow and will take care of the bottom. Since I do it 95% of the time and they have 2 teenage boys who are athletes (older is a top ranking state wrestling champ-he just came in 5th for all of New England a few weeks ago) -I think I will let them do this one

 

Thanks mother Nature.. Happy April to you too..

 

I just noticed a wet spot behind the Harman.I think the brick chimney flashing must have a bad spot and water is getting in.It's always something.

 

Just heard the buzz of one of my small battery backups kick on and off...............hopefully its just a glitch

Not much wind so we should be good there, but if a car takes out a pole......

 

yes it is always something. Hopefully that is a minor fix and not any real water damage that has been hiding before showing it ugly head

 

I may have found the trouble spot.

 

Reading about all the puter stuff gets me all excited.

I generally keep an eye on the high end boards and other parts, then wait until they are 3 years old and can be had new in the box cheap.

A 3 year old screamer is then classified by the go fast kids as JUNK

My current outfit is

Thermaltake core P5 (With articulating wall mount
Asus Maximus Extreme mobo
intel x9770 cpu
HIS HD 6870 video card
750 watt power supply

Modified the Core P5 and added a 4 slot 5-1/4 bay for optic drives and 2 quick change HDD slots.

Added brackets and modified a twin fan radiator for liquid cooling (Currently using a big air cooler)

Feeding a 50 inch LCD screen that is also wall mounted

Running Linux Zorin 9 LTS

NO MORE BLOWS HERE

Do not miss the MS at all.

 

Going to my favorite watering hole meet my buddy for lunch

 

Nice!!

 

Have a great time bud!!! If its Steve, say hi and have a few brews for me

 

Well, you likely know what needs to be done, that's half the battle and better than not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

 

That sucks, hopefully the rain will let up for you soon. That happens here w/ the skylights on a heavy deluge in the summer - the joys of owning an old house..

You stole that one, David. * Nice choice on the new rig, when you setup your Data Center - let us know if you're time-sharing that CPU, I'll sign up.. * Congrats on the purchase.

Blinking here too.. Seems ok now. Satellite is buried under wet crusty crud, gotta go back out & broom off the dish. Happy Wife ...

Using the unscientific 'stick the shovel in the sn*w and watch it dissapear' method, looks like a solid foot here in the sheltered areas, more w/ drifting. Still sn*wing at a healthy clip.

Looks like April 7th now for the brakes, service bay will be too busy overnight w/ vehicle cleanup. That's ok, I need more sleep and Beer.

Heading back out to restore Satellite service.. Yay.

 

Nope, not me unfortunately. I'm home arguing with the old lady

 

or you will need many more of these later

 

No another brother to me we used to work together I'll be seeing Steve tomorrow

 

I didn't see anything but there was some snow still stuck in there. Decided to put it in the garage and let the stuff melt off then if I find time I will look later. Could be - or my general lack of maintenance (besides gas and checking oil) on a blower that is probably as old as this house caught up to it. And literally 5-10 minutes before I was thinking "man, I love this snow blower it just keeps running and running."
