Junk yard with tonnage. It's a bit of a drive.

Barn Find Heaven Unveiled In 20-Acre Forest Full Of Abandoned Classic Cars (msn.com)

 

I agree. It's a Honda, they're bullet proof.

I thought it was blowed up when i drove it to work the first time, smoking like crazy, like 3/4 qt in 35 miles. Then thought about a hose barb on the engine that was puffing air, and had a hose nearby, so connected it. Turns out that hose was suppose to hook to the motor, but the other end was already hooked to a dead end by the previous owner. Plugged it into an open barb and no smoke. Sucks because I already ordered an OEM top end kit, thinkin the rings were smoked.

 

For no particular reason than I think it's funny, I bought this 6.0 LS out of the scrap pile today for 96 bucks.

Maybe I'll put it in my Dodge.

 

what's so funny? The fact that it was only $96?

 

Most of my YouTube comments fill up with "not in my area" or "wish I was closer" or some variation of how they can't find an LS to start with, let alone complete a swap for less than 7000.00

I know the truth is, people wreck Silverado's by the dozens in every area of the contiguous 48 states, and I've walked into yards blind from Toronto to Texas and found an engine, and often times find them laying on the ground and don't even need a tool to get them.

They can't find them, because they don't look, because they're too busy watching me on YouTube and telling me how I did everything wrong from their couch.

So to amuse myself, I've been busy building the "best" LS I can using parts I find on the ground. I have a TBSS intake, a set of 243 heads, a 6.0 shortblock... And didn't turn a wrench to get any of it.

 

Nice. I miss walking the junkyards. Never knew what you might stumble upon.

My wife says I can never do witness protection because they'd just wait outside the junkyard for me lol.

 

Dude here at work just went down and got himself a used 2021 Blazer for 850 a month an 19% interest.

So I'm glad the Fed hasn't slowed spending with their rate hikes.

Um..... Dude must have some horrible credit, because used car rates are no where near that high....

Well, his mom co-signed, and he's 36, so I'm guessing he's not a credit union member lol.

 

Holy crap. Did he rate compare rates with the payday advance and local loan shark?

Clearly the "boy" makes poor decisions... Momma aint helping matters either...

MIght have been cheaper lol.

I felt bad because I laughed in his face when he told me he didn't know why his payment was so high and we looked at his paperwork.

 

Porch roof almost left the chat. I was about a mile away on my grom at this point, it was a fun ride

Ring #AlwaysHome

Check out this video! I just captured it with my Ring Camera!

Dang. That's pretty wild looking.

I was finishing up a work call as it rolled through here. It went from daylight to needing to turn a light on for my camera to see me. As I referenced the coming storm to my coworker who lives maybe 15 miles east he first said "nope, nothing here" and then his last comment before losing connection was "oh man look at that". Apparently big lighting strike and his power and internet went out. lol.

 

I guess there were unconfirmed reports of a tornado in Richmond, which is right where booblinker lives, and right down the road from me.

 

At least the new barn shrugged it off.

 

I have a bunch of trees down. Two big ones that are split but didn't fall. Even one of my honey locusts lost a limb.

I have had a tree crane scheduled to show up for the last two months... for tomorrow to rent the whole truck for the day. Goal is to get at least three giant trees down. I don't know if they're going to show up, I am getting a reduced rate because I'm fill-in work and was willing to rent the crew/truck for a whole day.

I already have 41 face cords of wood split and stacked on firewood racks... have 9 empty firewood racks... and have another 15 or so ready to be cut up and split. I'm going to have firewood growing out of my ears.
