Pirate as in looting ?

Prophetic.

I remember the days like that as well.. Learning not to ask for anything, and just being damned grateful when there was some extra money to actually get something...I knew the money was tight, but as...

To make most HRV's work and not be drafty, they need a pre heat and post heat source installed in this climate. I've seen so many with ambient thermostats to just shut them down below -10C.

I use Courtney agencies in Vancouver, I first met them when I had to overnight a motec exhaust system from Japan.


Actually I met them when I brought in a body kit from Japan years ago and...

Next is valvetrain, fitting the promagnum rockers to the trickflow heads. I have to mill some clearance into the pedestals where they are touching and shim the rockers to center the rollers...

Old school mirror mounts. Have to make sure the bolts get sealed up after paint, the rust always starts there on these trucks.

TCS converter, 870.00 . I have one of these in my cummins and its been pretty good so far, has about 250k km's on that converter. It's going to be interesting playing with the lockup on the...

Almost exactly that, 281 degrees. The cam is a custom grind to have power at 5k-5.5k to maintain wheel speed in the mud, but also has a wider lsa so the truck will cruise at 2200 rpm in overdrive...

With the big torque it'll probably stall earlier than that I think. The nice thing about the 47 rh is I can lock up the converter when I want to using a compushift mini. I'll use the stall to get the...

Yes, brought out the sawzall and carved it off. Its got the usual stuff like upgraded clutches, 5 now instead of 3, steel planetary, upped line pressure, 5.0 apply lever, billet band and modified...

Got my unicorn drivetrain together.
Big block 47rh to Np-205 transfercase.

For years I did service calls for a company that leased ice cream dipping cabinets. Google is right here, avoid extension cords, the wire quality in them just isn't what it use to be.

I miss the wood burning fireplace in my old house. It saved us when we were without power for 3 days after a winter storm. If I had a full weekend at home without work, I could keep it lit all...

Being a known covid case has earned me leper status....

I now have 3 vehicles with engines 8.3 litres or larger, I will be personally be paying for everyone's Cerb over the next year.

The Team Oreca Viper cars.

The biggest mistake made with these, is not running glycol on both sides. They typically will have heat exchanger with water on one side and glycol for the outdoor loop on the other side. Something...

Yeah, went back at it last thursday, energy level isn't back yet, but I'm getting there.
It's nice just to be back in the truck again, even with shitty roads.

Went out and did a service call in Airdrie, roads were in bad shape. The highway warning sign said jack knifed semis between Airdrie and Carstairs. A lot of vehicle off the road everywhere.

I was in the skid steer for an hour on my driveway, every year I swear I'll enclose the cab, I never do and freeze in the thing.
The MD in usual fashion hasn't been down our road at all, even...

Yesterday I woke up and felt pretty good, my symptoms all
went away very quickly.I am still not at full capacity, I was a bit fatigued today and only managed about 6 hrs on the tools. I've been...

I'll have to check that again when they phone again.. They told me it was 2 weeks from the 16th for them, or longer if I still have symptoms on the 16th..

It's Friday, and thankfully, I am still alive...
I had to be a real mask enthusiast for work, none of the places I work will let you in without a mask. The amount of hand sanitizing and cleaning I...

Day 4, aching feet and a general feeling much like if I had too much Saddledome draft beer the night before.

I just tested positive, I can say most places I work have been pretty hardcore on the masks, hand washing and sanitizing. I've been doing the handwash with soap every time I get back in the truck..

Freakin at the Beacon... I worked at Crescent Heights Husky in high school a block away, they had formidable door staff, but we got in there with some invites from the "talent".

Yup, between the Warehouse, the original republik on 9the ave and the Westward club. We got into lucifers a few times, but they didn't care for punk rocker types very much.

Glenns Memories Bar, where all the 400 pounders in the Northeast went to pickup Jamaican guys looking for companionship and citizenship.
My main haunt was the Warehouse, I bought a membership...

Kinda going back to my roots. In my earlier years, I did a lot of small and big block mopar stuff. The parts are so much cheaper now with more choices, its fun to play in that arena again... Back in...

On order forever. Bbm cnc 270 heads.

Photoshop DM into a Trump rally and post the picture into CbC comments section.

I once made jokes about people looking for restoration parts for a 90 Chevrolet Beretta, then I met someone that was actually restoring a 90 Chevrolet Beretta GT.

I know, I've had some pretty up there offers on mine, just not in the selling mood yet.

I'm thinking that car was probably around 160-165k usd new. Is that 210kusd with the buyers premium? The special editions were 210 cdn, new.

Stuck for parts and time now. Too busy at work to do any real grunt work on the project, and I have had parts on order for 8 months now, what a shit year for doing a build.

Northside Dodge in Lethbridge was good to deal with on my last purchase.

Let the memes begin.

Then you can go broke fixing it.
