What did you do today?

[ferp420]

I don't even run AV at home. I just keep my computer updated and be smart about clicking on links.


What does one do with a PC not connected to the internet?

What is that thing called? I think I kinda/sorta remember it.

It's a Toshiba Satellite Pro 435CDS

Could be anything really. Could be a bookkeeping machine, old CAD box, local only media server, etc. only need internet access if your tools require external resources and I'm betting that not much past Internet explorer for Win95 requires external resources.

Pictures never do justice for rocks or terrain but this came from my in laws house (who will be partially be moving in with us). My grandparents-in-law brought it from Panama way back when… great for crawling around with the mini’s



Finally sorta finished up the pool area too

 

[high plains drifter]

That thing ^^^ doesn't have a bad side on it lol. Perfect for small crawling as well as a nice landscape piece.

Waiting for more RC4WD KM2s to come in. Should look way more scale than the 1.9 setup.

Bout got ran over by my ******* neighbors idiot kid in a car in front if my house/car. Them Fools always driving like tools! Managed to get a few steps backwards and was able to jump up high enough for my knees to clear the hood, to land on it! Called the 911, they did vitals, and a whole lot of nothingness after showing up, it seemed like the cops gave me the more 3rd degree, like that shit is my fault. WTF in the ER now, as my knee and some soft tissue on my legs started to hurt a few hours later after the adrenaline wore off.

Went out for a lunch crawl with this little one to my local spot around work ... Big parking lot with landscape and some knee high rocks to entertain for 10-20 mins



The fun ended after with my 1:1 Yota up on a flat bed towed home. Sucks but I am happy and fortunate it happened in the parking lot at maybe 3 MPH .... Replace your Ball Joints Gents!!!



Its got north of 245,000 on the clock and 24 years old I ain't mad at the thing and is so much fun to drive its got a manual... I heard the signs last week while at good chicken sandwich Drive thru and peeked around the steering column over the weekend but i missed the joints while inspecting. I've had my share of previous failed ball joints from the Toyota truck's I have owned so its a thing if you own one and pay attention to the signs ... you don't want this to happen at speed. Too much collateral damage for fairly cheap parts. It has happened to me before . You cannot blame the part that has been used for 1/4 of a million miles and 24 years. Juts be aware of the wear and tear and the fact that you have to understand that things need service and replacement parts just my .

Oh well.... I ordered a set of all 4 B-Joints from Toyota .... Some cold beers, good beats and wrenching are on the weekends agenda. There will be RC Crawling as well. Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

funny that you mentioned I was tempted to set it back int the join and use a strap to drive it back to my works shop but AAA is amazing or at least has been in my experience. I did have to wait for a flat bed for about 30 mins but there was some crawling involved while waiting.

ya but i wasent in the sticks when it happend i was on the freeway a few minutes from Bakersfield and alittle further from a good size town and there were 3 towns between less than a mile away and i just needed a jump so they could have sent out one of there pickup truck service trucks
the chp officer got tired of seeing me there from his office on the other side of the highway

 

[Gula]

Well glad as donkey balls that ii didn't happen while moving at more than what you mentioned.

 

[Goro Majima]

Scale is so much better on this now. The 1.9s still looked good but the wheel style is more correct at 1.55.

 

[Saltrock]

I pieced together some parts from my rtr scx twenty four so that I could mount my Dastun body on it. It doesn’t look good but it will hold until I get a better mounting situation, lol. I did a little more work on the body too. I really need to get a can of high fill primer.

 

[Deerhurst]

Still thinking of how I want the hell out of this job and this state.

 

[ferp420]

[Gula]

Walked the dog, went to Jr college 45 min late, dropped off 1/2 a Tylenol with my kid at schule, bought some trees, posted the travel trailer up for sale for anothe month, then picked up one set of kids from schule, and a few hours the other kid. Then i goes on shopping spree. I purchase a twin mattress, some sheets, the mattress protector, a 5" frame, the murphy bed hardware all from various Analog and online stores ranging from Amazon to Walmart. Now, ive been hanging out at the park in the dark with my Bear
