Damage to the Dam so far $200Million + and it aint over yet. Lets see if i can muster up some pics i took of the Feather on Friday. Downstream from the Dam aprox 30miles, river is normal at 100' wide, now it's 1/2 mile wide toward the west flooding fields. Normal depth is 17' + or- feet, currently 42' and rising. And my Latest "Barn Find", currently discussing future ownership, he played around with this 34,(i think) in 1975, Installed a 327 4 Spd, still runs just needs some TLC Hydraulic brakes? Ford? if yes, it's a 39, the 1st year ford had hydraulic. There's one sitting here with a mustang 2 engine with racing wires. Tree branch growing through the windows. Squatter owns that and a 62 Plymouth. The property owner said I can have it, he will sign it over to me. I can get it hooked for $100. Problem is when I fire up the chain saw, the squatter might take aim. I'll see if I can find some pics Mark 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was funny from that link. Eventually, we made it to St. Johns and landed safely on three engines. We’d never been so thrilled to be back on terra firma. In an expression that I heard one of our sensor operators use, we spent that long, long flight “puckered up tight enough that a team of horses couldn’t pull a greased knitting needle out of our arses”. But we made it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I was going to run it til the wheels fell off. 2012 with 221K miles on it, I guess it was time. Running on I-57 at 80, the driver's side front tire blew out. Amazing what those steel belts do to the grill, quarter panel, hood and wheel assembly. I got lucky, a state trooper asked how fast I was going and 65 wasn't the right answer. All he did was tell me to sit in the back of the car and wait for the tow. He also pointed out how lucky I was nothing major happened so since I just totaled the CRV without damaging anyone or anything, totaling the truck was punishment enough. No ticket!

Mine has about 246k. It runs great, got a lil' lag in 2-3 upshift sometimes. I have to play with the throttle to get it to up-shift sometimes. I got this one from a customer about five years ago. with about 220k on it. I've been working on this truck since it had about 50k on it. Several years back he came to the shop with the check-eng light on. It was the good old cat code (P0420) in the ECU.... no big deal, we put a aftermarket cat on it and down the road he went.... that cat lasted about two years then it coded back up again. The next time we put a OEM Honda replacement cat on it and I told him it's good to go..... Well the Honda cat lasted just shy of two years and he had to have it towed in the shop cuz the cat converter melted down and clogged the exhaust system Now you don't have two cat failures in less than four years unless something is going on. I did a cylinder leak down test and found the exhaust valves are not seating properly. He didn't want to fix it so I bought the CRV from him. he was really happy that I wasn't fixing it to sell it, I always wanted one of those trucks. I'm just waiting for one of the exhaust valves to burn and I'll put another engine in it. Two years ago I rebuilt the suspension on it...... Just about everything as far as suspension was replaced. The springs are Old Man Emu from Australia... 1" lift Anyway..... love my little CRV MKP :-) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigStewMan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 cardiologist said my nuclear stress test was normal. yeah, the PVC condition is there; but, not being caused by heart disease and as long as it doesn’t get to the point where it puts me at risk, then it’s just going to be a nuisance. So, I thank God for that. Now, i have proof that i’m normal...where are those guys in the white coats, i must show them this proof. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
