weekend work
my wife drug me to a used book store today to get a copy of "tales of a fourth grade nothing" for a family friends child.
my son asked if they had "metamorphosis" and the book lady had no idea who franz kafka was!
I walked away with a calvin and hobbes book and a bit of pride in that my family and i knew of and had read a great author that she had never heard of.
if there are any kafka fans out there: read "at the penial colony" its quite odd.
the only other highlight of my day was changing out the brake pads on my suburban
I love working on my truck when I know what im doing. went really smooth.
a few months ago, i redid the plugs, wires, cap and rotor, fuel filter and put one of those chrome donut air filters on.
WOW did she have some scoot after that.
i think when i get my tax return this year im gonna get headers. anyone know of a good brand?
the barbie doll that i hung off my rear bumper lost her head when i was offroading so im looking at garage sales for another victim.
since im rambling about my truck i might as well lay it all down:
1991 3/4 ton 2wd suburban
lots of antennaie
cb radio, tv, pa system hooked up to an amplifier (loud as the cops have)
the airhorns are run off of a tank that gets filled by the air conditioner compressor since the ac is leaky. i put the pump to better use. also has an air coupling out the front bumper to fill my tires and run air wrenches.
for looks i put a braided line running from the fill nozzle on the tires to the center of the hub to give the look of auto inflate like on the hummers.
also has oogah horn, siren, a custom made by me horn that moos like a cow, and a bell. oh and i hooked up one of those novelty fart by remote gizmos into the pa speaker as well.
I collect horns odd hobby i know but it makes bieng in traffic a bit more fun.
yeah im a freak!
I installed 2 extra sirens on the car alarm and now i KNOW if someone messes with her. I actually set off somone elses alarm when mine went off.
1250 watt stereo that shook the rearview mirror right off of the glass one day.
found a big brushguard at the junkyard for 10 bucks. a friend told me they call them donkey rammers in mexico.
I admit that im bragging, but since i do almost all of the work on her myself, im not too ashamed.
mebbe pics to follow.
