No Garage

I think Sunday will be a scooty build day.
I already have the new valves lapped and installed in the head. Next will be the 47mm cylinder and piston.
The hard part will be tuning the carb. Not that hard, just some trial and error.

This is bullshit

Nah, the lip is just torn up and bent.

Got a trip planned to the NE for the holidays. Driving the Jeep. Need to make sure everything is good to go. Maybe I'll change the wiper blades.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Need more Black Ice Little Tree air fresheners.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Got air fresheners and new wiper blades. Ready for road trip.

I'm about to blow $68 on a stereo system for Jeeeep. One multimedia bluetooth head unit, and a pair of 6.5" speakers foe the front doors. BOOM BOOM

[Eye of the Tiger]

Well, I doubled my stereo budget. I'll be installing 6x9's in the front doors, driven by a 200W amp. Bigger booms

Billie Eilish just doesn't sound good at low volumes.

Billie Eilish just doesn't sound good at low volumes.

Sure she does, one of the very few these days.  Most sound better with the volume turned off.

Asshole bank only got $6400 for Fiesta at auction. I had an offer for $8600, but they wouldn't let me sell it after they said they would. Now after fees and fees they expect me to pay $6200. Never. Gonna. Happen. I will sell my house just so they can't put a lien on it.

Dude. What assholes/vultures. Bankruptcy? Fuck 'em.

I don't have enough debt to declare bankruptcy. I will sell my house just so they can't put a 10-year lien on it. Wage garnishment is illegal in this state. I don't have any assets. They can fuck off.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Actually, fuck it. I'll keep the house longer than that. If I decide to move before 10 years, I'll rent it out.

Jeep is lonely. Jeep wants a friend in the driveway.

I'm driving up to New England next month, so I need to prepare. I'm bringing both of my dogs in the Jeep. I'll probably sleep a night each way in the Jeep, too. So ... I need a sleeping bag, dog food, water, and ... curtains would be nice, but no.

Cardboard works for curtains.

And a mattress

Looking at scooter replacements ... how about 98 Buick Century? I could cut the springs, throw on some slick tires, chop off the muffker, and have one hell of a scooter car.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Yup, next vehicle is going to be a beater sedan with cheap as fuck insurance and taxes. Maybe a nice Oldsmobile Intrigue.

[Eye of the Tiger]

No roadtrip because COVID.
Jeep is sad.

[Eye of the Tiger]

Slim pickins around here. Used car prices are insane
People are stupid.
