What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

[69a100]

I went to cr8crshr's & my favorite Hot Dog joint in Chicago for the first time in 15 years, had 2 dogs with everything except sport peppers and NO ketchup & a Med. sprite. Cr8crshr would be, and I'm sure is jealous!

Working on Nellas new bedroom/bathroom suite addition. Had my electrical and plumbing inspections today…..both passed.

Altered and installed a wheel-chock in my car trailer. It's for my pit bike/scooter...

 

[Under Pressure]

Dropped a big block into the 1971 restored Bee and test drove it.
Too fast for the granddaughter, got to slow it down.

Cool bike, she’s gonna love it. Of course you got carried away with the big block swap, but that’s only natural!

Here’s a pic of my Rupp Wildcat, I’ve had this thing since I was a kid. It’s on loan to a kid in our neighborhood who wanted to learn how to ride so he could keep up with his friends.

What kind of scooter is that?

I really like my Yamaha Zuma 125.

It's now 11 years old, 9 of them mine with over 5,000 miles (750 when I bought it), and zero issues.

...and I just bought one of those articulated chocks. I like it and it has strategically placed holes so it can be trailer mounted.

That is an awesome bike, looks a lot like the Ruttman I had as a kid.
Don’t forget to get it back!

I won’t. It’s been loaned out to many kids over the years, including his riding buddies. They’re all getting older now, and Lucas has really sprouted up, he’s 12-13 now and about 6’ tall. But hey, I still ride it too, you can never outgrow a mini bike.

2018 Yamaha S-MAX. 155cc
I cut about 2" off the top of the wall/vertical portion of the chock, and drilled/tapped holes lower, so the scooter tire fits better into the receiver.

Yep... we drop tiny pieces of tin foil down when ice fishing and watch them on our finders. Can see stuff to about 48' down!

Nope, but that 59 year old and I did play in the high-school band together!

Thought you were eating bugs to get a jump on Bill Gates! Then saw the smoke art.

Smart move. I wince when I see dudes put ketchup on a hot dog.

Haha, no bugs here in the hills!
None that I'd eat anyway.
My wife bought me a pellet smoker last year, and finally getting the temperature under control to do a proper rib.
I've always used a double barrel setup or an old refrigerator for smoking. Hillbillies are creative don't you know.
Next week it's beer battered catfish in the deep fryer. I love summer, the redneck camp kitchen is open.

Tried to get a widow from Michigan's outboard running properly for her today, but I gave in after a couple hours. 23 year old Merc 2 stroke that needs the carb rebuilt. I took it off her boat and then took it in to town so the local marine mechanic can tackle it. We lent her one of our boats so she's not stranded on her island.... so she doesn't bail and go back home. Someone for my Wife to converse with while I'm off fishing the back lakes.
