This thing is finally on the move, time to step it up to dirt.

“If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good.” – Bill Gates

Only days after putting new brakes on my car a noise started when engaging the clutch. The throw out bearing was failing.

The short of it is needed a clutch installed to resolve the issue, and while in needed a wheel bearing in the rear.

Parts was my task as I did not want aftermarket Oem grade parts. Distributor was faced with issues when packing order, was delayed from Saturday to Tuesday delivery, which was delayed to Thursday turned Friday delivery thanks to FedEx.

So now they have the parts and it’s a holiday weekend. Will be Wednesday Thursday before done.

They tell me there were three bolts missing when taking out the transmission. One on bell housing, one on starter, and one on driveshaft.

This means that mechanic I used on the day one of owning the car did a pass poor install beyond the crap that I already known about and reason no longer a customer. Same mechanic that was to do two rear wheel bearings and only does one. Takes them days to call and ask about the subaru immobilizer in the car needing reset after battery out. If it was not then that lost them, they didn’t bother telling me that they were missing.

I think somehow that I do 90% of the work I’m doomed for the other 10%.

I sliced up two mangoes and put them in the dehydrator today. It’s been a long time since this appliances had been used. The last time used, made pounds of beef jerky. Would live off that camping

Two mangoes equaled three trays.

[edit] turned out well, next time will slice thicker than 1/4 in

It’s weird how the focus is on this one.

Not sure what this thing is. Was found in the woods in what looked like would be water run off.

Hollow light thing similar to a ping pong ball in shape size and weight. In the center there was a bright green wad in the middle and thin strings like spider webs holding it into the center from the outer green shell like a type of suspension.

The strangest property of this thing is there was only one and it stayed strikingly cold through its point since our finding.

It was a beautiful day out at the race track. Me and group of friends burnt rubber on these beasts at www.pittracekarting.com

I still feel the adrenaline pulsing through my veins. These karts are so much fun. Helmet neck brace required these machines are not what you have for the common go karts on vacation.
