did a little bit of work on my cad models for the sub enclosure and door parts i'm gonna be making. decided to throw a model of the actual sub in there just to practice some. i'll also throw some more pictures in of my preliminary designs. they will certainly be changing; i actually did...

next up, less maintenance, more fun stuff for the old girl ---Start of the sound system install --- i started my audio build this weekend(10/16), after years of waiting, and a year or more of planning. after much deliberation and some wheeling and dealing with my local shop (custom sounds in...

ended up only on one camping trip. went to inks lake and had a great time! early moring trail run with my pup had me making lots of spider friends....:coldsweat: back to sequential updates now: moved into a new place first of september. it had the most important things. a yard, and a 2 car...

lots to add. will have to come back and fill in details later. totaled my daily over christmas, so shirlee is the daily. then the RONA. got halftime furloughed, so no projects for some time. im now back to work full time as of this month and bakc to doing projects and trips hopefully...

Thanks for the kind words!! I am pretty mechanically inclined, and I'm not scared of a challenge. But being an engineer, I tend to overthink things, so the truck is a good conglomerate of design and engineering evaluation with a healthy dose of elbow grease and common sense. Keeps me sharp but...

Finished up the brakes this last weekend. Painted the new calipers. Actually did it right this time. Then i went to install the pads, and i couldn't get the inside pads to seat far enough to take the pins. The pads id ordered (like 8 months ago) were all outside pads. So i chopped the...

pistons are seized in the calipers. have to order new ones :sweat:

I'm saving this for the final brake post for later today.

Progress, but as always, less than I'd wanted. Got the lockers rebuilt. They look sicccccckkkkkkkkkk!! Pressed one race into the right hub with the hammer and an old bearing, then realized it was 10pm :facepalm: and I was hammering away on a piece of steel on a concrete floor. Oopsies. Then...

now onto the brakes. a while back i'd noticed the brakes rubbing, then they started to squeal a bit later. i already have pads and rotors that i bought earlier in the year, planning for this eventuality. id planned to do the brakes when i do the clutch here once I get my garage cleaned out and...

It's been a long time since I've posted on here. I've had a lot going with work since i moved back and im only just now catching back up to working on the truck. Poor Shirlee. Its only been upkeep from january til now. enough to keep her running. Had to replace what i thought were bad started...

nothing too crazy going on recently. i have a clutch i still need to install but im waiting til i can build a transmission cradle for my jack that i still need to buy, and for one of my roommates to move out and take all his stuff out of the garage so i have a full spot to work in. just order a...

@Boort that was an awesome reply full of valuable stuff. thanks for taking the time to build out that post. I hope this is useful for more than just me. i'll be watching these and using the resources. i think what i wanted in a lens (that i now have) was something with a shorter focal...

lol :tearsofjoy:

thanks for the pointers on organizing. i know the processing will have a lot to do with my own personal style as i develop it (unintentional film pun, that i'm sure is played out) but i've been struggling with what to do about getting all my content sorted to start with.

so i've had a nice camera for a while (sony a6000, which i've learned the idosyncracies of and really like), and i've dabbled a bit shooting in raw for landscapes, vehicles, etc. i've recently been disappointed with my shots because i've realzed i dont have fast enough lenses in the right focal...

Haha I would never!! The coke wasn't for me, but my bud

Yeah they're great cause they actually support my weight if I want to stand or sit on them The Engel is Ok. It's no yeti, but it was the right size and weight for me

thought i'd show my 3 little adventure boxes. pretty minimal but it gets the job done for me. wait... those aren't boxes?...

and a couple of my favorite gradient shots from camps i've made
