Since he built the insulated heated shop behind his house, his wife won’t permit him to add running water. She’s afraid she’d never see him. The shop has TV, stereo, fridge full of beer, and a cigar humidor. Only the occasional need for indoor plumbing drives him back into the house. https://www.facebook.com/resetbikeshop/ Nice shop, stays close to home, but has some privacy....sweet. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Replaced the water pump on my wife's SUV today. No telling how much the dealer would have charged for this simple replacement. Here is a picture with the pump off. Still need to clean the old gasket material off. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardsweb Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Compare the impeller clearance to the housing between the old and new pumps. The old one was ready to launch the pump shaft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 oWhelp, after some "slipin and slidin" in the house. Turned on the H/K 40 that came with LS with a small FM antenna, and I am listening to my favorite classical station which happens to be located on the side which is closest to me. Listening to Pipe Dreams which of course features pipe organ music on Sundays here. The LS has the most wondrous sound imaginable. With wonderful highs, mids, and oh yes, bass that is so wonderful. Finally have a chance now to sit down and just relax with a cold one. Unbelievable, I cannot imagine anything more right now than what I am hearing. Wonderful bliss... Alright, done for the moment. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saved a ton of money, or at least one arm and part of a leg. It leaked out all the coolant and stared to overheat. Adding water just had it spray out around the pump shaft. It was worn badly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Last evening my wife wanted to watch The Crown on Netflix on the “TV with the good sound.” So I cleared a spot on the couch and cleared away the junk on the coffee table and we watched. It is quite well done by the way. After about an hour she asks, "When did you get that?" "Get what?" "That 'tuner,'" she replied. Bear in mind the KP-201 II's in the photo left here on Saturday. The space was down to a pair of Heresy and a pair of Supers. I honestly was not sure to what she referred. "That ugly silver tuner. There are two now." Aha, she means the second Behringer iNuke 1000 DSP to power the third and fourth TH subs. Naturally I replied, "That's not a tuner (true). It's been there a long time (true). It is ugly (true). I'll paint it black (perhaps)." What's the statute of limitations for sneaking new stuff into the system? 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 No that is pretty good for sure there. What better compliment to the sound. Good Job LOL! Was married once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's seen it many times, at least it was there to be seen, over the last few months without so much as a peep. She's waived her right to complain. I couldn't resist an open box special at Parts Express. I've never powered it up. I should do that to confirm operation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
