My roommate got a text from his friend, Stripper Ashley, saying her truck was broken down about 2 minutes from my house:



Her reverse gear decided it wanted to be lubricant instead, so her best course of action was obviously hard parking on a snowbank and getting stuck as her transmission ate itself.

Drive still works (for the next couple miles at least) so we needed to get the truck into a through-space.

ENTER COMACHO:

I had to google that one, but that didn't make it any less hilarious.

My roommate is apparently going to use my garage to replace the transmission on Stripper Ashley's truck.

I obviously made fun of him for this, and he seems to be taking it well:

You know she's switched into sweatpants that say juicy and the reebox with the strap. Her hair is still blonde with black streaks in it, but it's in a huge ball on the top of her head.

Heading down South this weekend with my dad to go pick up the wood tools.

I'll post some more pictures in the daylight when we get down there, but it's a "Take everything you want" situation and we're driving that GMC pickup and towing his enclosed 12' motorcycle trailer.

List of poo poo I know to be in there:

6' tall bandsaw from like 1950
6' tall drill press from like 1950
Table wood lathe... I think it may be hand crank or perhaps there's a small motor on it... Looks to be from about 1950
Table saw with joiner mounted to the side of it, both from around 1950
Arm saw, from like 1950
My dad also says there's a giant wood-stove in there, so I'll certainly have to check that out as well.

I expect all of these wood tools to be heavy as gently caress and laughably over-engineered.

My redneck cousin likes to steal poo poo for drug money so we're gonna go pick up all we can before he figures out how to gank all of them. Unfortunately, he's probably taken all of the cool hand tools already.

This weekend we went to grab the wood tools.

Took Badger along for the ride. He was super excited:



For about ten minutes:



Took the big equipment out of this shed that was in the back:



Badger decided playing in the mud was more interesting:



Today we unloaded the truck, and it was basically a shitshow with the soft ground following the snow. Mistakes were made, trailers were abandoned out back, and a certain 2010 6L 2WD hybrid GMC Sierra was towed out of my backyard by a certain 1990 4L 2WD Comanche. My backyard now vaguely resembles something from Spintires:







The spoils were worth it, however:

Camacho pulled the trailer out of the (much less muddy) mud no problem this weekend. Girl's dog helped:



We cleaned the garage up because it was getting narsty.

This weekend should see some cool projects.

VVVVVV Her dog Bandit and my dog Badger look a lot alike and they're best buds :3:

Her dog and my dog are like brothers. Whenever her dog comes over they play until it's time to leave or go to bed. Soft-mouthing, tackling, playing keep-away, playing tug-of-war, just running for no drat reason. :3:

So as luck would have it there's a Subaru coming Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Sunday afternoon.

Also have friends visiting from Michigan who are going to the Lotus gallery in Philly then coming down here Sunday night. They're Subaru people and hopefully my buddy is bringing his EJ207 swapped lesbian Forester.

Camacho is getting a new water pump, thermostat, and heater core, because I feel like spoiling him and the girl wants to learn about cars :3:

Another day, another Subaru:



Anyone want to see what $1,000 worth of cat-back exhaust looks like?









poo poo's titanium. The entire thing weighed 11 lbs. He didn't tell me any of this until I started haphazardly tossing the pipes up there.

The good thing about a dude putting $1,000 worth of pipe on his car is he gives you a dickload of beer to do it for him:



Badger doesn't like when cars are off the ground. He'll run circles around the lift for hours with a very worried look on his face. I couldn't even get a decent picture of him because he wouldn't stand still long enough:



Shop dog needs a tune.

Those titanium exhausts are hilarious. When they came out at my local shop I was like "I like the looks of that but the fake blued tip is too ricey for me, can I order it without the blued tip?"

The answer is no. The rice is mandatory.

One enterprising apprentice offered to take a grinder to my $1300 titanium exhaust to get rid of it.

Now I drive a car worth less than that exhaust. Priorities??
