    Grandmas car

    Found it! Grandma's? Check. Clean and low miles? Check. Diesel? Check. Best of all. . . .it's a Vette.

    Hicks Lawn Services truck racing

    She is a blank canvas. I need to redo some of the front metal where it is tweaked. I also did not care for how it came out when we were rebuilding it. Probably should get some spring steel for the rear quarter to pop back out when it is pushed in. Currently it has aluminum flat stock we just...

    Hicks Lawn Services truck racing

    Short block is together. Honed. New rings. Working on the head now. Lapping valves basically is what it needs. Wasn't going to re-skin the truck this year. We have some exciting news on the horizon. Sounds like we are going to need to look pretty. Current status before I had to cut out today...

    Random weather thread

    Talk about an overwhelming amount of pics and drone footage for the Indian Lake area. . . Horrible. I suspect it will make national news networks if it hasn't already. Haven't heard an official number of fatalities or casualties. I've heard a lot of different numbers though. One fatality is too...

    The only issue with volunteers is the lack of direction in something like this. Everyone has good intentions. They all want to pitch in. So much so, it overwhelmed the people handling the scene (s). They had to turn people away. I felt kind of useless. Like I would have been better off if they...

    TV - Recommendations

    I'm the opposite of Dave. Had terrible connection issues with our Vizeo. Bought a Samsung at Sam's and it was great. It was so great, we replaced our other TV with a Samsung as well.

    Wish I could say I've done something. Sadly, all I did was clean off some spare EMS stretchers. They were being put back into service for duties I'd rather not type out loud. Other than wiping off some stretchers, we've walked 4-5 miles. Fortunately we haven't found anyone. It's just a flurry of...

    Sounds like Russell's Point and Lakeview got hit hard. They are looking for any and all volunteers and EMS from what we heard. Myself and two other guys are loaded and rolling. 10-15min ETA. Lights. Batteries. Reflective vests. Radios. Water. I put a text out to several PD and EMT people I know...

    Watched out the front windows. Screen door glass was down so we could listen. We were okay. (I think. I never did walk around the property to confirm.) Sounds like they were hit all around us. Ada, west of Findlay, Botkins, Fryburg (outside of Wapakoneta), Lakeview. . . Probably some others...

    Binocular magnification

    Those look amazing. You sure she didn't propose a trick scenario? My wife told me to buy a new truck. I bought a used one. After the fact she said "I can't believe you were considering a $70k truck. I didn't say to spend $70k. " 🤣

    Carbon credits

    Is it like tax credits for "being green". Sort of like the tax credits solar companies get. They sell them to big companies to reduce their taxes. Say Exxon buys tax credits for $100 but it reduces their tax liability by $120. Generates money for the solar company. Lord knows they don't actually...

    I know . . . I can't count this many points but the hunter can

    I need to schedule an appointment to view your trophy room. It has been a couple years. Has the admission price gone up any with inflation? If so, I may need to save a little more money. 🤣 Looks fantastic my friend!

    Super duty thread

    Geesh. Haven't made the first payment and I'm already spending more. Hauled the big enclosed trailer. Disappointing. Not power. Had plenty of power. Surprised how much it sagged. I know it is a nose heavy trailer, but dang. Ordered Timbrens for it tonight. If it sags with a trailer it will sag...

    Super duty thread

    Got her dolled up a bit. $1000 for tires and rims, TPMS sensors, and center caps. Tires were supposedly used but they sure looked brand new. Doubt they have 5000 miles on them. Going to need to get the computer flashed for the 18's now since the old ones were 17's. These are maybe 2" taller.
