minermark Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Good evening gang No farm run today, stayed home and worked over the last McM Bass Bin. Just got done crawling out of each of the four holes w/knee pads/paint brush/headlight. IPA time, and that would be three done going for the fourth. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted October 27, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2015 Just got done crawling out of each of the four holes w/knee pads/paint brush/headlight. I have to say that job sucks, did the same thing with stain and later oil, needless to say they don't get oiled regularly. That plate looks about right if you were to follow all recommendations, but seemingly perfectly healthy people die also so I will enjoy myself right up until the end. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hurricane Patricia's rain is here now, for 2-3 days! At least it will leave before Halloween gets here, I hate to see the kids out in the rain. I like Halloween, I have a couple "dead men" hanging in the trees, and a fake motorcycle man sitting in a chair on my porch. My neighbor gives out candy to the kids, and coffer/hot chocolate to the parents. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckAb3 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Hey gang, mornin'. Almost forgot about Bob Ross and the happy trees ... I'm no artist at all but I can sorta identify with any guy who paints with a putty knife. I have an understanding of putty knives. Ceptorman ... looks like a good Halloween set-up. We do an annual Halloween gig and it's on Friday this year. Willl have granddaughter and her parents at the house on Saturday. I have been informed that under NO circumstances will I be allowed to wear my Halloween clown mask and cape or even have it in the same room as the kid. That tells me that my costume shopping is a big success. Tuesday cheers gang. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have said, "Crawling IN and out" of the holes, first i had to Vacume W/brush, 1/4" Dust all surfaces, then simple green, then cut in the black paint, glad this is the last Bin and last of the parts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akdave Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Good Tuesday everyone! The daylight is noticeably less already and we flip the clocks this weekend which will make it dark even earlier in the evening, time to combat the dark doldrums. Enjoying my first cup pre-work, looking forward to the fall classic which kicks off tonight. Still car hunting, I've decided it's not my favorite activity, but it could be so much worse! Enjoy the day! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 Morning Gents. Back from the hills visiting sister, her husband, a cousin and her husband. Great fun, food, and drink. Leaves still pretty though we were about ten days late for the peak. Jake stayed here with a sitter coming in twice a day. He did fine. LF off to have pictures enlarged and purchase thank you notes. I'm wet mopping floors and getting things in order. Jake apparently only cleaned his plate while we were gone. Glad everyone is well. Good luck with the car search Dave. Pics of the speakers when done Mark? Cheers Ladies and Gents 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akdave Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 One more thing: we have learned a lot about vehicles/dealers and craigslist in our two and a half week, relatively intensive vehicle quest. First, dealers put vehicles on their websites with prices before they even know if they can sell them yet or not, they may not pass inspection and are fairly frequently auctioned off. Secondly, "very clean" on the cl headline is quiiiite subjective. Thirdly, one salesman told me they make 25% of the gross sale. This helps me understand the lack of desire to come down to nada/kbb deal levels. We are looking for used, but I came across this gem up here and thought, if I sold 3-4 of these a year at 25%, I'd be doing ok! :-) (not affiliated with sale) http://www.alaskasalesandservice.com/VehicleDetails/new-2016-Cadillac-Escalade-4WD_Platinum-Anchorage-AK/2640780023 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Mark How do you feel about QuesaDillo's instead of tacos ?? Joey and Jake prefer the grilled QuesoDillo's, Its kind of the same thing, Not as messy and in a tortilla ?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thirdly, one salesman told me they make 25% of the gross sale. That has to be on a used vehicle. No way they make 25% on a new one unless they're selling them WAY over MSRP. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted October 27, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 27, 2015 p.s. i tried to paint once, showed it to some folks--they called 911, they thought i was having a seizure (and my brother took the paint away from me--and i was in my 30s). I tried to paint twice, the first time was on an old saw blade, like you see in tourist shops, gave up. The second time was on a cement patio table, it's still there, it's ok I got lucky and knew when to stop trying to fix it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once I wasn't joking, I didn't even catch the way you said it. I had the same problem you probably had, I'm not small and it's tough reaching inside to wipe on stain. When i oil them I use a stick with a rag with oil on it to reach the hard spots, it's no fun, probably why it's only been done twice in years. Our youngest granddaughter is small, she got the job of dusting the insides last. For my big @zz it's hard to get the right angle to reach where I need to, it's a workout moving like that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
