Back to the regular programing........................................ ...



Look to be having a gay old time, must be in Brokeback Key.

It won't be long :drink: The twin vipers (his & hers) were fixed up & lubed prior to being put away for the summer (ready to ride). Butttttt for now the the forecast for good old Mi is sunny and near 80 for Sat. anyone interested in hitting lake St. Clair this wekend?

just getting ready to pull all my suspension F&R. Skids coming out to get my C-36 shocks out for a rebuild, rail reinforcements and an SC-3 heavy 4 wheel axle.

front clickers are going out to MonsterPerformance also and the A-arms coming off to install 16 bronze oil-lite bushings. A little powder coat may fall on some pieces as well. :D

finally have 4 rebuildables for hers, front monotube clickers and C-46 rears so I'll need to pull her skid also here soon.
She wants to pick up her ave. speed some and it takes ride quality/compliance to do that...she sees me blow by her accelerating hard thru the 70's in foot or so trash all relaxed and comfortable, and a 50-60 pace in moderate moguls without getting beat-up...

it's all about my shock guru Ian!

Service (inc. chaincases now holding Redline synthetic), and detailing on both, including a fistfull of cosmetic (both) and performance mods on mine were done in the spring. I didn't send my shocks out then 'cause you don't want them sitting around for 7-8 months on the nitrogen charge. Plus now I have 8 to send to him so he does one for free and free return shipping as well if I send them down with my buddy to the Big East show in a couple weeks.

a big garage...

priceless

actually, yes to all.
plus I just bought another used open trailer for cheap that needs a little Rippem style fix-up.
I'm only keeping up because I have so much time off.
I can't imagine how little I'd get done if I was a five day a week grunt. :party-smiley-004:

BTW...how's that house of yours coming?

NOW...

back to your regularly scheduled drunken and gay programming. :grinser010:

double check

awww...now

don't be a follower ...a hater...

In another life you might even have been given some mechanical aptitude, and the appreciation of what it takes to exercise and enjoy it.

and actually it's two barns.
Get it straight if your going to bother.

that BTW, other than the word from axa, are full of boats and jet skis for the winter, a nice little fall cash bonus...

how idget is that goofy?

5PM,

What exactly is an "Idget" ???

Checks, checks and more checks, no doubt all on Form 1040 Schedule E, Supplemental Income/Loss from Real Estate. I know that form well.

Trivia, what cartoon character coined the phrase "Idget"?

Actually, I'd kill to have a 40x60 to put my toys. Covenants in the hood won't let that happen. And to my mechanical aptitude, I've built and torn more chit apart in my life than you ever will. I'm just in a position now to have others do it for me.

Got me, only cartoon I really follow is this one here. Even Samantha, the trivia queen, is stumped. Elmer Fudd? Porky Pig? Must be one of those down on the farm characters to be connected to the Barn biz.

Now that you have made it in life you should reward yourself. You too should have a barn, or two. For a dollar down and a 20 year flip deal, you could have yourself not only a big boy toy box, but big cash returns as well. You could then use all the cash to hire on your own barn boy to freshly mint out all your toy chit. Think about it, your golf balls would always look better than new. You would be the tits at tee time! :cool: Discretionary income! Gotta love it!

Looks like we are back to the same ole same ole ......

Good old TIBBC bantering .....

Whose got the biggest toy box ...... who does the best doll up .... who fixes things the best .....

Who gives a chit .....

I have a 12 X 12 EasyUP tent .... a 6 gallon bucket with a wash brush ..... and large limit credit card with no balance that can fix anything ......

Now whose your daddy ......

P.S. Rippem ..... what are those boxes behind your spare tires? Do they hold a spare EOH brake system and spare leds and spare floor jack and spare air compressor and welder and a special Rippem "minted" doll up kit?

I must say though you get the coolest tox award, I am jealous ......
Question: Where is the stripper pole and the keg'r'ator I think that is only thing you are missing .....

Jeff

hint....he carries guns

Ah yes,,,,,,,,, Yosemite Sam!!!!!

Correct!! I now retract my prior inflamatory comment in regards to your core lack of intelligence

So again I'll ask.......................What the fock is an Idget?

Same shirt, different day. Speaking of shirts..................;);)

So you're living in a tent, chit in a bucket, bad Pond habit no doubt, and clean up with a brush. Why don't you take that credit card and get a room?

So is the Black Biotch out of the water for the season?

Or will it be around this weekend for another shot at the Formula?

Dave

Still floating. Waxed this afternoon, rather........."Minted out" and ready to roll. We are going to Samanthas moms tomorow am, plan to roll her out early sunday and get back here, there, by noon to burn some gas. Probably pull it next week. So you can have another look at the transom of the Biotch before the season is over. :D

Guess I should have had the butt cam on....Would have been a nice view for you to see it running BEHIND me.

I'm here...come get it!

Dave

I HIGHLY doubt that.

though I do believe the "built and (then) torn apart" order as you put it.
this is the usual course of trying to figure out how you phukked up the build in the first place. :D


I was tearing my first minibike down to the frame on my own regularly to repair it/clean it when I was 7
(you know the one I bought with the dollar a day I'd get paid for hanging around on the farms on the two sides of us trying to move bales of hay that wieghed more than I did)
I used to bring it in pieces into the house and use the bathtub for a parts washer when my parents weren't home- made my mom go ballistic more than once when she found the aftermath.
I R&R'd my first jug/piston in a snowmobile at 9 with help...
(from my 9 year old buddy)
basically grew up otherwise on the farm where tearing chit apart and fixing it was regular everyday fare
in my late teens as a dabbler in paying jobs as a auto mechanic (was going to go down that career path) who had previously completely overhauled his first TH-400 at 16. The powerglide in my '65 Imala SS was cake after the 400 (it was alot lighter to lift onto the bench too!
and then in my early 20's, by then with a half dozen modified cars behind me, a CNC machinist and set-up specalist in an aircraft shop (well...rocket and missle pumps/starters actually) who spent plenty of time troubleshooting both manufacturing set-up and part/assembly performance...which as you well know you gotta pull it apart when it fails and figure out why.
...that is when I wasn't holding half-thousandths tolerances on a 3 spindle 90 tool CNC working aluminum investment castings...
dozens and dozens of toys from F-bodies and Corvettes to bikes, sleds, and 6 boats now...even that Sea-Doo wasn't stock.
I guarantee you I've had more just sleds in pieces than you have had toys total.
more in numbers "than you ever will"
that I have done a great majority or all of the work on myself from typical service/repairs and mild mods to complete frame-offs

pretty bold statement there management-boy
do more homework next time.

and the end event of any of my work has never been the fire dept arriving on scene. :grinser010:

check?

what's a check?

oh...those things you "stroke your pen" over to impress the lesser folk...

or are they the bullschitt your mouth writes and your diminutive azz can't cash?

there's passive/aggressive mouth-piece at it again.

We all know that silver spoons, fat inheritances, insurance monies, coralling a woman with a six-figure job or other can lead to "discretionary income nirvana".

A different kind of man takes pride in making it all happen/keeping it all going by himself without such props/crutches.
I've spent the last decade making it solo, solely responsible, and accountable to no one.

A different kind of freedom...
than the one your money provides...

Question?
Why would anyone who has "made it" want to, or tolerate living in a hood where your told what you can/can't do?
or spend 20 years in a tiny apartment above a small-town storefront?

you need the structure?
is there status in conformity?
afraid to spread your wings?

on-the-rag likes to brag up his money (regardless of where it came from (see more than one but not all of the above)...

I occasionally brag a little too...
about the quality of the work I do with my own hands, and my efforts to make the most of the little that I do have.


hmmmm....
guess that's what makes us different huh?

OK, let me get this straight, drink until 3:51am, post until 4:30am....................

































CHECK!

Ditto!

Check. :grinser010:

Having done my homework. In response to the comment on the other thread.............................

I believe that the motor deal, agreed to be cash paid when motors taken as was mine with Doug, was a case of writing a check your a$$ did not cash. I do recall your phone call and your knowing / assuming that being a "with it dude" I would for sure would understand that you just could not pass on the "killer deal" on that new sled. Honestly, I never really did understand that deal, but you had already "taken advantage of the opportunity that had been presented". Where did that leave me? But to sit and wait. Anything to help a friend, right? But no "check". Hmmmm..............guess that's what makes us different, huh?

You were paid within a week or so, admittedly I was a little pizzed after the trip and might have been "holding out" due to that issue, and I did make you ask for it. I believe that check was cashed without any problem, was it not? However it was not the fall to spring dragged out deal you pulled on me. Nuff said? Do your homework.

I did thank Andrea for writing me the check that early summer day in the parking lot at HBW. It was a good check!

Just don't understand you not being able to relate to this having been there yourself at one time.







Be careful when hanging your shorts out, you might want to "check" for those old "skid marks" first.

Puhlease, Axa and I were bailing hay and splitting wood at 5, what was it we got paid.....I'm thinking it was called dinner .

At 4 we were involved in the larceny of Kyle K's true soapbox derby wheels and axles, (we had the old lawnmower wheels and bolts), a little black spray paint and adapting it all to our go cart and we owned the king street to bundy circle track (NASCAR before it's time). We laughed in the face of the troopers that showed up, "hey, we're 4 phukkin years old, you got nothin' on us" probably explains why we got so much police attention once we started driving 12 years later.

At about 7-8 I was washing cars and painting the parts room shelves for 25 cents per hour. Helped to pay for all the chit I broke on a regular basis. I was alergic to hay, but took to oil and grease as well as the wash & wax deal quite well.

You got dinner for free?

Tweet Tweet .... Time out ..... both in the Penalty Box
 

YOU GUYS NEED A 10 MIN. MAJOR FOR FIGHTING .....

Not for nothing ..... I like both of you guys .......

ENOUGH OF THE BULLCHIT ....... YOU TWO ARE ACTING LIKE MY 4 YR OLDS.

HERE IS AN IDEA ONE OF YOU PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL THE OTHER AND FIGURE IT OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL.
I F THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH WHO IS GOING TO MAKE THE CALL ..... PM ME AND I WILL DO A CONFRENCE CALL SO BOTH OF YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHO CALLED WHO ......

Now back to regular programing ........

I apologize if I have stepped out of my boundaries here but am quite sure I am saying what others are thinking.

You two guys have been friends/associates for a long time.
It really isn't anyone elses business regarding he/she said or did, who has or doesn't have etc.

You both are intelligent enough to figure this out so just do it one way or the other.

Sincerely,


Your Friends and Jeff

Time up yet? Really wasn't me that started it :eek:. Just pointing out a few of those old "skid marks".




Somebody say boat ride? I'm ready! ;)

check? ;) ;)

Its going to be a long long winter:party-smiley-004:

Get your reading in now....soon to be deleted.

Children will fight, this is stupid.

Dave

Ok, I just got off the phone with the Senator and I had to agree with him that this thread is starting to go the wrong way as opposed to what it was orginally intended for.

Something that is directly to offend or should I say intentionally piss someone off. Should be not tolerated on this thread.
For the most part we can all say we are friends here and it was intended to bust each others stones about a passion we all share ..... "Boating"
If this continues on the path it is going this thread will be deleted because it makes ALL of us look like idiots for fueling something that the majority don't even care about.
I, just like the other guy love to give it to someone when it is deserved just ask Pete ( Labour Day Weekend) on the flipside I can also take it if it pushed back to me. But I am not going to attack someone or someone's integrity.
I can also say to all of you and you know who you are I really appreciate your respect you gave me with regards to this summers events I was involved in.

So on that note lets just do what we do best ......

Question : Who really is the fastest in the boathouse?

Who is had the most hours on there motors this summer?


Did anyone see that article in this months POWERBOAT magazine with Pete (stunt double for Reggie)driving a BAJAFOUNTAIN?

Jeff

Uhhhhhhhh, Twins, where have you been, this thread always does that, you have your Axa moments, you have your Ragged moments, and you have your Rip moments, it's the way the world turns. Deleting the thread does nothing to change peoples opinions, worst thing it does is lose alot of good pics and info along the way. And ya know what, a week later there would be a new TIBBC thread...........

Did anyone boat today?
