A Day of Awesome-tastic-ness Turned to Uber-Shite!


Decided to spruce up the Dungeon a bit.



My lil BuzzyBox.




Finishing up on the struts for JK's scoot.
I decided that it would behoove me to get said scoot on the level. Front,back and side-to-side!

After that was accomplished, on to the fender. Slid it into place and tacked it where it was centered nice and proper like.

Squared off the struts and liked the radius of the tabs I cut off last night. Use them as mounting points instead of that silly under-brace-thingy.


Fender runs profile of tire correctly.
Tack and cut once again.

Then the Shite-storm hit!! And man did it hit hard. Went by Cloud9 to drop off food and pick out a new tatty-zap. When I tried to crank the Volvo, it was a no-go. The starter has been slowly dying for the past week. So PaulyT gets me a ride back to the house and I jump in the new "Ginger" and start blasting toward 119 via Grant's Mill. About the time I pass the MegaChurch, I smell sumthin funny and notice a bit of smoke in the cab. Pull off at the gravel turn-around just beyond the Cahaba and find fluid pouring out of the driver's side of the radiator. As I look under to see if there are any more leaks, I spy something amiss. Not sure if you can tell in the pic but the retarded PO drove a nail and bent it 90 deg. where a cotterpin should be. Neat, right?

Well after some duct-tape and JB Weld, we finally made it home. Both rides out of commission for the day, had to call-in to work.

So It Goes!
