    Wanted Trailer frame or trailer axles

    I want to build an 18-20' enclosed trailer, upwards of 12klbs. I'd like either a complete frame or a pair of axles at least six lug 5klbs, prefer 8lug 6k. Anyone have an abandoned trailer project kicking around?

    Can we talk dogs?

    This little mutt keeps curling up on me. I'm good with that, though.

    Work screw ups...

    I really wish pre and post trip inspections were more thoroughly performed. I had several times this past few months where I had to make emergency repairs on loaded trailers that shouldn't have been loaded.

    Predator Engines, any experience?

    I put a 6.5hp Predator on my air compressor when the original Honda burned up the coil. It was cheaper to just change the engine out. Water and snow can get into the engine through the exhaust, mine actually rusted the rings to the cylinder wall, and locked up. I freed it up and have been...

    What are your retirement plans?

    Yeah, I doubt I'm going to have any kind of retirement. I should be sitting behind a desk now as it is, but unless I find myself some sugar mamma to put me through school that's never gonna happen. I guess my most optimistic route is to at least be eligible for life insurance again before I...

    Shitbox Bingo

    Everything except hard/no start, and oddly enough the check engine light operates properly. Otherwise my commuter is a proper shit box.

    Shitbox Bingo

    I like this one better, it gives me a nearly full card. I only get multiple bingos on the other one.

    They need a meat layer for full effect. Scotch eggs are pretty awesome.

    Coronavirus

    My wife got a bunch of these last year, both the Echo dot and the screen one. I'm not a fan, except that now I can set a reminder for the kids to go to school so I don't have to stay up until 8 to kick them out the door. They have been trained to listen to the robot overlords more than their...

    Lighten the mood

    Just that one line, on repeat constantly, continuously, throughout the foreseeable future. At least you're not getting away from what you've inflicted on the group.

    Jobs! Looking for a job? Is your company hiring? Post up here!

    If anyone is thinking about putting in with UPS, they have an employee referral program where I could get money if they hire you. Just PM me your first and last name, email address, and phone number and I'll enter the referral.

    Bitcoin

    So my initial purchase of $100 of Dogecoin is worth a cool $32 now. Since it's just sitting at 16¢ now, I went ahead and threw away another $100 on it. Let's see how low it can go!

    Dogecoin is really down there. I may need to snag another batch.

    Anyone work on forklifts?

    I've had a few of those mixer regulators gunk up with the yellow crud in propane. They are also much more sensitive to low compression and will lose a ton of power below about 150psi.

    Ran across this last night in my travels-VW Baja, very available

    I've kind of always wanted one of these, but have only ever driven a completely stock and worn out 68 back in 99 when they were just old cars still. It'd be a neat daily if it had a heater and AC.

    I'm a sucker for neat engines...

    I want to put a 4BD1T and Aisin automatic from an Isuzu in my F250. The hard part now is getting the programming to delete the DPF and EGR. My truck is emissions exempt under EPA rules, but still no go. I do still browse Copart for them every now and then though.

    And of course Leia is now a full Disney princess as well. Are they going to do a corny extra scene where she's dancing around singing on Endor and all the Ewoks are drawn in?

    Matts off road/winder towing in trouble.

    I cringe every time I see him just loop a strap over the ball on his Jeep.
