What did you do with your truck/shop today

[Coby7]

Yes, that is illegal here. No blue or red flashing lights in the front of a vehicle.

 

Repaired a 2005 Silverado cluster this morning.

Spent the day out in the barn. Mounted and balanced some Blizzaks for a neighbor, then spent the rest of the day fixing a few things, and getting ready for parts to arrive for my dad's '07 Arctic Cat 400.

 

Resealed the leaky valve cover and inspection covers, cleaned a mouse nest out of the airbox, vacuumed 5 lbs. of corn and bird seed out of there and the ducts, and removed 2 dead adult mice, and 4 dead babies from the CVT system - also vacuumed at least a pound of ground up corn out of there as well. What a mess! Mice were chewing on edges of belt. My dad must've went for a ride, and scooped the whole family up into the belt and spinning sheaves. What a bloody mess, lol. Carnage.

 

I hear peppermint oil is about the only thing that repels mice. Might have to buy some for my dad and try it at this point.

 

 

Had my home-built waste oil burner blasting away out there today. Was in the 30's this morning, then started raining. Had it up to 68° in there today - I was sweating! Thing was cooking at just under 900°. Got rid of 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid today, and got extremely warm, for free, in the process.

 

 

Not a whole lot of room out there these days. 2 full sized vehicles, some motorcycles, and several pieces of OPE, tire machine, balancer, some supplies, tools, etc., and now there's no room! Believe it or not, there are 4 motorcycles buried in that pile there in the first pic ...

Been using my truck to black friday shop the past couple days. I've been treating myself, maybe a little too much. It all started Thursday morning while waiting in the Gander parking lot at 430am lol. Bought a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor

 

 

Then Thursday evening rolls around, I bought myself a 40" LED Smart TV, and then yesterday bought the Samsung sound bar with subwoofer for $85, killer deal couldn't pass that up

 

 

Then last night I bought another rifle, whoops. But for $250 after mail in rebate I couldn't pass up on the deal. I don't have a pic of it but it's a savage axis xp chambered in .308 and came with a cheapo Bushnell 3-9x40 mounted and claim it's boresighted.

 

Also bought 10 boxes of 9mm, after $5 mail in rebate per a box, it's gonna be $60 for 500 rounds of 9mm, couldn't pass it up. Probably gonna buy more today again as well lol.

 

All in all I got lucky on a lot of deals. Oh, I also bought a Vortex PST 6-24x50 brand new in box on ebay as well as a scope mount, scope caps, and keymod bipod adapter. I need to quit spending money

Hide those wires. It's easy and cheap. And if you ever sell your house you can say "fully wall mount ready"

 

I use this.

DataComm 45-0001-WH 1-Gang Recessed Low Voltage Cable Plate (White) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00193U3O0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ziJpyb5BB2HKQ

 

(You may need to order 10 foot HDMI cable.)

 

Cost under $20(two $4 pass throughs, two $4 brackets). Worst case your tv cord isn't long enough, you'll need a short extension. A 40" probably only draws 50 watts or less on so no need to get a expensive one, I use a few cheap ones from Wal Mart.. Amazon sells the latest 10 foot HDMI cables in two packs for $8 or so, depending on the day.

That's exactly what 2 of my buddies said lol I'll take care of it later, just wanted to get everything on the wall. Thanks for the tip!

Oh I added some more info....and just thought of something else. You can use the brackets Amazon recommends, they go in pretty easy but you lose a bit of clearance if you plan on shoving more than two HDMI cables through. It's do able, just frustrating, the tabs just rest enough in the way to be annoying. When you try to push that third though it wants to get caught on it if it has the ferrite on it.

I've never really understood the whole wall mount thing. I'd rather have it on the pedastal or mounted to the TV stand. It gets windy here and the wind will shake walls sometimes.

So? You need to see one mounted, it's not that weak. I have all mine wall mounted and the plethora of earthquakes haven't had any effect(it's getting ridiculous around here). If wind or earthquakes are going to destroy your studs you'll have bigger problems than a broken TV Edited November 30, 2016 by SnakeEyes

Not much room in my bedroom, plus my room is in the basement so it's underground. No wall shaking here! Lol

I also picked up a Homelink overhead console from a Yukon SLT without sunroof

Dang wtf I didn't know it occurred that often, that's crazy

[white1500]

Any good tips or suggestions for replacing the door seals on a gmt800? The driver's side is what I would like to get to soon.

 

Any specific brand? Part number? Rockauto has quite a few to choose from.

 

The truck might be getting another 1,200+ mile road trip for Christmas. So far she looks good to go although I might also purchase new high beams by then.
