Our Audrey passed away tonight. We were getting ready for bed, going out to potty. She turned around to come back in and stood in front of my wife and just passed out. Couldn't get he breathing again. Took her to the emergency vet, but she was gone. Having her cremated. I'm so very sorry for your l...

The Strange chromoly driveshaft doesn't look like much on the floor ....


But when you get up close you can see just how beefy it really is....



It's overkill, but piece of mind.

Ah, the workshop. The project I thought I would just knock out and move on in life, but now I feel like I am running in circles with it. :roll: The roof is done I think. The flashing looks all odd as the galvanized reflects the light in a hundred different directions, and I tracked roofing tar all t...

Last piece came today, I could still go further but I've had enough with tracking down parts overseas. Titanium hinge pins, nothing special but they are about half the weight of the stock steel pins. 20240618_203956.jpg SRT Race Roller for comparison 20240618_205618.jpg T3 Race Roller - only thing m...

Spent a little time rehashing a body I had in the shed.... body was in too good condition to waste, so would have to rely on my creativity instead :shock: Previous owner decided they didn't like box art, so painted it white and Camel Yellow, with a pretty awful design.
