No kidding, I buy a pallet of corn a year to keep my deer feeders happy and it's at least tripled in price over the last few years. These deer are lucky they taste so good
Oh yeah, deer is good! Had deer from up in the Sandhills of Nebraska.....they feed on sagebrush....nastiest tasting deer I've ever had!

Cheated on it. o_O:shock:

We're heading to MX (dentist) for the day so Annie can get her posts implanted and I can get my impression for mine done. I have so many points built up at Enterprise I rented this (free) Charger for the day. It was either this or a Chevy Malibu. ? I figured I give MP2 a rest after the long vacation. lol

I had one of those as a rental in 2018 when my car went in for hail damage repair. If I got a car instead of a truck, this would have been it. Fun car to drive and the v6/8 spd combo has some serious pep. Plus the interior was nice.

I cleaned my balls!

Such exciting topics! I just had to add my nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat information for my incredible task today. =p

I finally did my post-winter ball mount maintenance. The French-Canadian AMPLock opened without any issues (phew!) and had no rust on the locking part of the pin or inside the lock itself. There was light rusting on the key cylinder and outer edge of the body. The silicone cap did a great job but also held a little dirt in moisture causing minor rust.

The three stainless pins for the Tow & Stow itself came out easily and did have minor rusting. I probably should have used a Scotch-Brite sanding pad to knock it off but I was to lazy to go get it. The paper towel with ethanol got much of it off. I also ran the paper towel into the edge of the holes to clean out minor grit. It was pretty clean and I always blast it with the pressure washer.

I also carry a spare set of those three pins in case some crackhead steals them ... =(

I couldn't find my white lithium grease so I used an ancient tube of "extra special" bike grease. Seems like it should be an okay choice. I only put a thin film on, I don't want to give dirt too many places to stick.

Last step was to polish my balls. It always makes me feel good to buff them and make them shiny for everyone to see. =D

love this little Freight Harbor stool, such a back saver! =)

pleased that it opened easily - lock made by poutine-eating frogs - my kinsman

I wiped this down to leave a thin film

tiny bit of surface rust

lube it and move it in and out a few times, then wipe off excess - priceless life advice

a beat at the bottom of the cap

woot, this is enough work to make me feel like I've accomplished great things today =D
IMG_20230728_101213812.webp


I did ethanol wipe off the grease on the bumper, I could see myself busting my a$$ on it
