Just go home man, then go back to Nebraska if you can in the summer and finish it out. There's no reason for you to continue pushing on, like you said just delaying the inevitable at this point. This is a weather permitting project and it's just not permitting right now, and probably won't for the for the next six months. Go home and regroup, then go back in the summer guns blazing. [e] maybe spring if summer is like death valley in Valentine

Stitecin posted:I love this thread, but I am going to play devil's advocate here. (Probably unnecessarily as Sims has been pretty practical throughout.) Who cares. Whats important is that it turned out to be probably the best thread to ever grace AI, and it was needed therapy for Dave. How the truck actually ends up will be a small footnote compared to the story of how it was resurrected and helped someone in the process.

Honestly the odds of someone just taking that bike are pretty high, I wouldn't be surprised if a loving employee took it home. And considering how empty the bus was he could have had it right next to him in the isle or something, what a bunch of bullshit.

Maybe nm could call them up and scare them with lawyer speak? Getting a lawyer involved tends to work on moving people off their rear end. Don't mean to put you on the spot nm, just an idea.

Leperflesh posted:Are there any tools en route to Dave? Please speak up if you have put tools in the mail that are expected to arrive? Dave should probably move his camp somewhere else first I would think, like he said he's basically squatting and who knows how long it will be before he can actually work on the truck. That would at least make the appearance better and maybe make Daddo feel better about it. Wow good poo poo. Yeah honestly if you want to be in good graces with the town Dave you should probably start working doing something, anything that shows you're not there to just wander around. Will help with the local cops as well, obviously you don't want to be on their radar. [e] Were you even planning on staying in Valentine or moving on to somewhere else?

Delivery McGee posted:Did you let the bearing innards fall out? I dropped an open Jeep transfer case on the grass once (rebuilding it after the internal differential had exploded and shattered the case). All the needle bearings fell apart. I found ... most of the rollers, and it ran like a champ for a year until I got a replacement gearbox. gently caress the bearings, the camper roof has to go up and down once, you don't really need bearings for that. Um he's not staying there forever and will have to move it to wherever he's going to camp next. And if he needs to sell it down the road it's going to need to work correctly, might as well get it working right now. Dave, pro pop up tip, if u can get some reflectix or similar insulation sheets you can cut them to fit between the screen and flap for some added insulation.

Cat Hatter posted:And it is powered entirely from twigs that you find lying around instead of having to buy propane. There will be a time for cooking on the propane stove and that time is called winter. Oh cool, I didn't even realize that, I thought it was one of the small canister propane type stoves. Sounds like it could definitely come in handy.
