I've had a love for electric guitars since the 80's and always wanted to give it a shot, I finally did. Started off cheap figuring I wouldn't stick with it and bought a new Jackson js22 and a Marketplace Peavey Vypr3 amp. I've since upgraded to an LTD MH1000 and a Marshall dsl40cr amp, I should...

Figured since I've been away a lot I'd share one of the projects that has been keeping me busy when I have time. Finally finished the bumpers and got the two tone on it.. looking finished now with only a few small things to go. The rear bumper is a 2010 Ram bumper with significant mods, the...

I've got a renovation project going on at work but ran into an issue, the office floor is 3/4" plywood over a concrete slab then 3/4" oak over it but the bathroom is bad! Evidently the toilet ring leaked but the water went under the oak floor out of sight and destroyed the plywood leaving no...

When I first took this job (Maintenance) I was horrified with what I saw, these poor souls had a cobbled up Craftsman drill press, a couple grinders, a Hobart arc welder, a set of torches and an incomplete set of tools! They never got new metal but instead kept all of the old equipment and parts...

I decided to load up the bikes and hit a motorcross track with my boy before the weather shifted and boy was that a blast!! He's been saying he's ready and that he wants to race so no better way to humble him than put him on a track, he's been humbled. :lol: Me on the other hand.. damn do I want...

Just a few months ago I decided I was going to roof my house myself after seeing the quotes... Nope not happening! Last week I crawled up on dad's roof to find a leak, it was shot, the whole thing needed replaced and it being dad I wasn't about to tell him to hire it out but I sure as hell am...

My daughter really wanted taken to her homecoming in the Charger so I put a last minute thrash in and got it done! Man do I wish she would slow down, can't imagine her moving out in a few years.. be a sad day for me.

Declaimer This is not a post about masks, mandates or anything else of the sort, let's keep it that way.. Last week we embark on our vacation to Summerville lake WV with the boat, we set up camp looking forward to a fun filled day of boating, cliff jumping and swimming but instead I wake up...

I'm not a fan of fast food but there are those days where you don't have anything to pack for lunch or you're out on the road all day and need to eat but $10?? I occasionally go out.. maybe once a week for lunch and in the last year have seen a huge shift in prices but only in fast food. We...

I got sick of mowing around the kids clubhouse, they grew up and didn't use it so down it went but now I need to put up a new swing since it was attached. My kids being between 12-15 I want to step it up but how much is to much? Not wanting to mow around all the legs I bought a used sign pole, a...

I'm not really one to seek out autographs or care much about actors but when they came over the speaker announcing she was there my daughter flipped out so.. I grew up watching the Dukes, absolutely loved the show as a kid so yeah, I wasn't hard to convince. All I can say is she's a class act...

Years ago I used to race but gave it up, fast forward 10 years and my daughter wanted to start riding so I bought her a new KLX140 and myself another KX250.. that was the beginning. She just pokes around which is fine and dandy but now we have another little guy that's an avid rider and the old...

I'm a gluten for punishment! When I first got married I hadn't really established myself, lived in a trailer, didn't have a whole lot so stretching my money was key meaning doing everything myself. We built our home from the basement to the top, no contractors, rebuilt salvaged cars, etc. I'm...

I've been pounding away on a restoration for my dad for a few years, nothing fancy (83 D250) but I just want him to have something nice for once but damn.. when will it quit dishing it out! Going back it was layer after layer of rust, motor was tired, etc, I fixed everything, rebuilt the motor...

What in the hell is wrong with people/kids these days! In the last 2 years I've been asked 3 times to either lend or rent out my car to a kid for his high school prom! The first 2 I simply looked at and said it's a standard, end of discussion but this last one kind of pissed me off. I get a text...

I do quite a bit of woodworking but almost all of it is interior furniture, cabinets, etc so this exterior stuff is pretty new to me. Here's the question, we have a huge 42"×8' solid Mahogany front door with sidelights and it's a bitch to keep looking nice, looking for ideas on what to finish it...

My best buddy got hit by a car, my Lab Bennie. We live way back on the hillside far from the road but Friday night the daughter and her friends decided to go for a walk just after dark to grandma's (across the road)... and Bennie followed. I always keep an eye out so I watched the flashlights as...

After such a shitty ending to the year it sure is nice that mother nature decided to cut us some slack. Trees are starting to bud, grass starting to grow, frogs chirping, birds singing.. nice temps!! Woke up Saturday and pulled the tritoon out for some fishing with the family, sure felt nice...

I'm a "buy American" shopper to the core especially when it comes to cars but... My first true ECO daily driver was a Chevy Cruze, loved it, It drove great and got decent mileage but at 120,000 miles it spit out a spark plug? I fixed the plug issue but it still ran like ****, had it put on a...

Just realized someone gifted me a gold membership, whoever you are it's much appreciated. This forum is full of great guys:thumbsup: Thanks
