I can't believe how hard it is to give away money. I have a stripped out, junk car I've been trying to get rid of for a week now, it's worth at least couple hundred in just scrap, cause it's full of it, and there's still a couple hundred worth of good parts on it also. I don't wan't anything for it, just haul it out of here. I've had 3 people set up times to get it, then not show. I'm on #4 now, but this guy sounds a little more legit than the others I've talked to. It's their loss, I didn't tell them I have 2, maybe 3, more I'll need hauled out in the next couple months that I'd let them have. Whoever shows up, wins. Just more motivation to get my truck going, I'm sick of relying on other people to haul stuff for me. I looked into getting a hitch for my car yesterday so I could at least tow a smaller trailer, but because i have the optional rear air ride, which is awesome, I can't tow with it.

I also found $10 in the mud behind my garage, so that's a good start to the day.

Jeesas, I must be the king of scrounging...
I just rebuild the coil part of my cartomizer using a coil from another one that doesn't fit mine.
I had to go sit under my grow lights to be able to see shit that small.

Also, we moved the hydro table into the flowering room. still gotta give those girls a good haircut, they got a bit wild.

The wife dropped the kid off up my work yesterday after I closed the shop to practice swimming. Made some good progress. Going to do the same today. Crazy to think of swimming pools and swimming as this purely luxury thing when in reality it's a straight up basic survival skill.

knowing how to swim is a survival thing, having your own private pool in your back yard is a luxury thing...

This car was a shell on a twisted frame, full of scrap. No rear suspension, no tranny, no exhaust, stripped interior, busted windshield, no nose. None of the donation places wanted it. I bought the same car after wrecking this one and stripped every part that was still good, I have 2 shelves full of spares. This guy was headed straight to the crushers with it. I think he said he'll get about $125 for it at about 1.5 tons. I didn't care, I just wanted it gone. He bulled right through shit. Hooked the car with his winch and dragged it off, and across, the cinder blocks it was on, up over the side of his trailer, over the fender, ripped his taillight off the trailer:roll:. I told the guy I had come-a- longs and wood beams so we could position the car better and that I've done some rigging of really heavy shit, upwards of 50K pounds, so I know how to manipulate stuff with a jack and some boards, but he didn't want to. I could tell he didn't really know what he was doing when he used D ring shackle as a snatch block and only put one wheel strap on, then tightened the winch to hold it on the trailer. Would be OK, around town, but this guy lived an hour away and I don't think any scrap yards around here are open today.

Then I went out to get paint for a water pump, got back and realized I also needed a power steering belt, so I turned right around and went out again. Some guy at the parts store pointed out my inspection sticker expired Friday, so I won't be driving during the day until I go get one Tuesday. I've pissed off to many cops around here, I know there's at least one that wouldn't hesitate to tow my car if he saw me. Kinda fucked up i get marked for standing up for myself and my rights. Like I always say, FTP!

Pulled my '69 Impala convertible out of the old garage where it's sat for about 10 years. I wanted to wait till i could totally blow it apart to restore because the paint, and what's left of the interior, is pretty beat, but I'm just gonna do a quick frame on rebuild. The drivetrain only has 35ish thousand miles on it and runs like a top. So that's going into the garage tomorrow and the frame for my truck is going outside to be ground down for paint. I don't care about spinning wrenches, but i hate body work and now I'm taking on 2 projects with a bunch of body work. Yay, thanks mom.:finger: I thought I was gonna be out there half the night, but I just hit a fucking wall about a half hour ago, and the vanilla kush didn't help my motivation. So ill just hit it early tomorrow. I'm hoping to be able to register this thing in the next few weeks. I'm not selling it before I cruise it around once. And I want to see what the 427 can do.:fire:

My '70 Impala had a 400 , I sold the Impala but I still have the 400 sb. Thought about combining a 350 with the 400 to make a 383 but I ain't never done it and it is just a thought really.
