What's up today (bullchiting) thread.

X2

 

Well.....trucks getting a frame repair, and brand new gas tank next weekend.

Also, stock stereo broke....got this for 30 bucks, just waiting on the tool to remove the broke stock one. Supposed to arrive tomorrow.....

 

Is that a pioneer? If so, great buy, and with the stereo conversion mount. Assuming the wire harness is on it too?

All you need is a couple of pieces of coat hanger. Put those in the holes to release the looking clips. Then pull it out.

 

Well its 2pm brought in some wood, emptied compost, and gave Lil girl first kubota driving lesson. Thinking about dropping snow blower and splittin some wood.

Probably just drop blower and chains.

 

It's a Panasonic actually, but as long as it does its job I'm happy. I'd have been fine with a stock one for that matter. Seems like the wiring is complete. I'm new to this stuff. Gotta start somewhere I guess. I've heard about the coat hanger trick, but for 5 bucks I thought might as well get the proper tool.

Hopefully get it working tomorrow, I miss my music

 

Horkn, I’m glad Badger is doing better. I know what you mean about them being like our kids. Hoping he’s completely better by the next week

 

I have almost never (maybe once) gotten a response back from an email only CL ad. I've gotten to where I don't even inquire if it doesn't have a phone #...no idea why you put up an ad and then not reply back to people?!

 

The coat hangers trick works...but PITA, the correct tool is much gooder.

 

That's about what I was thinking. For 5 bucks, might as well simplify the process. Funny, I often complicate things to save cash.....but hey, it got me free shipping on about 30 bucks worth of stuff. Or did I spend the 30 to get free shipping on the tool.....maybe both

 

Nice evening out

 

Yes it is. Here too.

I got the snowblower put away in the shed, my Audi washed, and the garbage/recycling out to the curb.

Oh yeah, a good nap too.

 

Nap huh....I'm tired myself, went for a 2.5 hour walk. Don't get enough exercise in the winter, gotta get used to steady moving/working again.

Snowblower......I'd like a snowblower....but I'd like one of those 8' wide ones they put on trucks

 

Yeah, now that my pup is feeling better, and not needing a vet visit, I can finally sleep. I sure didn't get much from Friday night until this afternoon.

 

Understandable my friend. People say dogs are like family, I say "like"???? My dog was just as much my family as a quarter or so of my blood relatives, and a lot more so family than the other 3/4! Glad your pooch is feeling better.

 

There has got to be an extra zero on the price!

 

I didn't need anything but a small flat blade screw driver to remove the stock radio from my 2004 Explorer. Just be careful getting it started - I'm a spaz and didn't even mar any surfaces. Course other years/models might be tougher than that.

EDIT: After looking at the video - that is a much fancier "stock" radio than mine so it must be put in differently. Also, my dash is a little different.

 

I put a quonset hut type tent on CL for free last year. I got nearly 50 emails in two hours before I took it down.

The smart boy that got it was the one that offered to trade for beer in the subject line.

 

That beer offer was genious!

I had probably 20 emails in a couple of hours when I put a sled on there. I had to go to the add and put a PPU in the subject line to get them to stop. Also got a bunch of emails on a lawn tractor. I email everyone back - except those who try to extremely lowball in the email. Although I am usually willing to negotiate, I don't put unreasonable prices or expectations out there so I don't see a need to give them a response.

 

Got my tools and got the stock radio removed.....looks like the radio isn't set up for a ford though, so still need an extra part or 2.

 

Beautiful day today. 70s in the sunshine. I took the wife and kids out to lunch and then we all got the bikes out. I filled all tires to correct pressure and then loaded the bikes onto the truck and took them all to a place that has a nice biking/walking trail. We went about 4.5-5 miles and they were all ready for a drink and a rest.
