Gonna either play Mad Scientist or be the Galloping Gourmet*.

Making a new and improved batch of Mouse-B-Gone or In Da Hood Caliente Seasoning.

The mice will decide and it'll make me falsely feel like I have some control over Soupie's naturally desirable munchability. =D

Usually it smells like I'm driving a tube of toothpaste, but the cinnamon and cayenne smells like a Godzilla-sized Atomic Fireball! =D

I bought some dampers, related miscellany, and had some coilover adapters machined. I then slapped all that together to suit my "Branger" front suspension. I love the outcome, even as this is very much a compromise setup in many ways. Now the rear suspension is going to need more work... so I'll wait for more fun money to accumulate.

I fixed my windshield after getting a half dollar size star on my winshield. I did not think i was going to be able to fix this one, but somehow pulled it out of my rear.
I have about 12 of these on my windshield. All smaller.

I used a permatex windshiled repair kit. They work really well, i stopped using it after my 3 or 4th windshield repair and started using the kit in the photo. I can reuse it and all i have to do is buy windshield resin online. A whole lot cheaper, and have been using the kit ever since. I am experienced now, so a bit of a learning curve, but on a star that big that i had, i knew i was not experienced enough to fix the starred crack so bought the permatex. The kit has been an awesome investment, fix the wifes windshield plus those of my family. I have not started to drill yet....to stop runs and make repairs to bigger cracks. Because if i mess up, well, dont want to make a small problem worse.

Pictured is the reusable kit i use, and the fix i used today was a permatex windshield repair kit

Do you have a link or name for the reusable kit?

Took it to a car wash for the first time. After my week of camping and fly fishing my back and knees just weren’t up for all that bending, stretching and kneeling. At least the road grime is off now!!

My BillieBars didn’t quite clear my Bak Revolver X4S. I just needed a little more height. I ordered some extruded aluminum and had enough to lift either the bracket or the cross bar. I opted for the cross bar. Four bolts per, all stainless hardware. Just need some end caps to clean it up and save my hands and forearms.
