well lets just hope there none of that man!! you just got that thing fixed, you don't need that problem again!!

Either it’s the seam between the roof and the chimney and the roofers responsibility or it’s the flat roof seam against the back of the chimney and wall. I think it’s the later. But there is an aluminum skirt at the bottom of the aluminum siding I don’t know how to remove without making things worse. When the roofer eventually comes I want to pay him to pop it off or have a look. It’s started leaking to the basement a little while ago. I just sat down after dealing with it. It was fine two hours ago. The snow/ice/rain is all up against the house almost melted.

The flat roof is in good shape but I think the seam just opened. It had elsewhere that I could see and fix.

our weather is a bit all over right now.. one day shorts next day sweatshirts.. i think our freeze is over with now, it poured rain for a few hours last night... tore up my dirt road pretty bad!!

We had rain but then it turned into a blizzard, then freezing rain, then ice pellets and finally back to rain…for now. Started early afternoon and still going. Got down to -2* but supposed to be 18* tomorrow. WTH?

today it's cool in the 40's... sweatshirt day!!

Nice.

i got a delivery of heating oil coming today, hoping to keep it under $600

We used oil in my childhood house. Now I smoke weed that smells like it.

plants took to the change very well, hard charging right now and nothing is gonna slow em down. they like the extra light and fresh soil. yesterday i had to move the fan out of the way because they grew into it already.. some were so ready for the flip, i saw pistils poppin all over when i was trimming them the other day. won't be long and we'll be stankin it up!!!!!

Looking good sir. I’m around the same. Two are more than ready, two are a bit early but should do well. Mine stink already, especially the small bushy one. Humidity gets to 70% which I find makes it smell more.

have a great week man!!!

It was okay. Storm spared us but hit family hard. Moms on generator until Monday now. Was supposed to be up today, then tomorrow. They had trouble getting gas as everyone is lined up at the station. Guess they all have generators. Lucky the neighbours know a seldom used gas station and got them all taken care of.

I hope yours went well. Mother Nature isn’t done with us yet.

better than coffee right there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah the tree rats piss me off way more than the deer. other than an occasional flower getting eaten they pretty much cause no problems whatsoever. the deer are always welcome in my yard and every few hours you can spot one from a window.


speaking of detailing.. rubbed up the nissan a little today!!! really wanted to try out a new wheel cleaner i got so i had to let them get cruddy for while!! haha even shined up the goodyear's baby!!!!!! not bad for an 03!!!!

Lookin' cleeeeeeeeeeennnnnn!!!!!

So gotta a couple questions for ya man...I need a rec on interior auto glass cleaner and maybe even tips on what I may be doing wrong trying to clean glass, especially the windshield. Is it a temperature thing maybe? All I know is I seem to make things worse with Windex.

What does the best job on not only cleaning the glass but also doing away with that greezy film that only the defroster on hot seems to be able to clear up?

And man...My sub is out but the sub is fine. No blown fuses or anything and right before it went out it was cutting like it had a bad connection but connections all look good. The head has acted glitchy a few times but this is the worst and longest running glitch it's ever had.
Think I need a new head unit or is there a hack I'm missing? Tried rebotting and even reset it to factory and nothing. Once it rebooted on it's own and the sub was working again but cut out a few days later and hasn't come back on.

 

[Stoneyluv]

Nice man...now don't drive it and your golden !!

Hey FYI just for what's it's worth. I saw your were tent shopping, bro if it's something short trem use, if I had to do it again...2×4s...6mil roll plastic and just make it custom...idk...

right?!?!? haha it started to rain yesterday.. i ran out there to put it away!!!!! hahaha i have to use it over the weekend and it's gonna rain!!!

nothing decided yet on a tent so everything it open at this point..

Either it’s the seam between the roof and the chimney and the roofers responsibility or it’s the flat roof seam against the back of the chimney and wall. I think it’s the later. But there is an aluminum skirt at the bottom of the aluminum siding I don’t know how to remove without making things worse.

i saw... i have such a shitty rooting week... have ass stain for a pick. you just behind me has larson and the two in front of me have briscoe!! how the hell am i supposed to root this weekend?!?!

Lookin' cleeeeeeeeeeennnnnn!!!!!

my go to window cleaner is Meguiar's safe for all tints and has a good smell.. wear gloves! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006SH4KU?
couple that with a waffle weave cloth to dry... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074LXZYF7?
and there's nothing better and easier than that combo!!

man that sucks when a head unit acts funky.. ime eventually they all break. it's the only component i seem to have to replace!

does you head send power to turn your sub amp on? usually called a remote wire (normally blue) in your setup? i assume your sub is powered with an amp, is it all in one or two components?

i ask because im curios if the head is sending that remote signal to power on the amp. that signal fails sometimes.. a work around is connecting the amp remote to you ACC power when you turn the key on.

whats the model number on both the head and sub amp? with those two i can tell you right where to test with you multi meter to know if it a power or signal issue.

i got some old Sea-90 laying around, i could add some of that!!! haha

yeah sadly the ARC is gone, she sure was fun for a while!!! now i'm sad! (not really)

Wow..checkout those tops .some look like they are budding already stoney....

they're surprising me Max, hoping they stay the course!!!!

oh yeah? cool thanks!!

so whats the best? atlantic water? pacific? the gulf?

it's a good thng GH doesn't know about this or they'd sell the oceans!!!

kinda wish you would have man. i even bought a box last week. had some on sunday and totally blew my carb diet!!! i'm bitter!!!

man this is now the second year that he had that paint job and both races ended horrible for him.. i say no more terry labonte throwbacks!!!

Kyle Larson picked the wrong damn day to Kyle Larson me man. And I was steadily climbing my way back up thru pool and was thinking a top 5 was in the bag. Now I'm back in the cellar. And how the fuck did Chastain do so well for you? What a weird year so far.
All around though, what a fucked up race. Surprised too considering it was Darlington but whatever. I hope they fix that bump before the Fall race because that thing makes the TMS bump look tame.
Welp, onto Bristol and I think this is the race Briscoe runs double duty on Saturday and Sunday so look for the Lance Crackers car this weekend.

Got the cleaning supplies you recommended in today along with other fun truck stuff!



I wanna give my truck the Mr. Luv spit shine now! Man that glass needs it so bad too so thanks Buddy!
New head is here and it seems like everyday my current system sounds worse and worse. It's gotta be the cheap Best Buy connectors they used in installation because now the passenger speaker is cutting in and out and the bass is sounding like hot garbage.
They're entry level grade Memphis Audio component speakers so I get they're not great but right now they're sounding like junk yard shit I pulled out of a '93 Geo Metro or something.
I wanna take it in a get it all installed by an audio shop and not Geek Squad at Best Buy now. I don't have the time or tools to do it like a pro so might as well hire a pro. Probably gonna go ahead and ditch the component speakers in there too and get coax. Looking at some sweet 6x9s by Hertz. Just so frustrated having a shitty sounding system right now. Doesn't seem like much but that sound system is my mental health therapy so it's kinda important lol.

Looks like you've got a bit of genetic diversity going on in the dark side! I'm seeing some haze leaf in there among the fatties!!
Good to see the airpots back in the fold again too.
Now bring on the buds and here's to Bristol being better than whatever the fuck that was this past weekend!!!!

BTW...The warm water of the Gulf. I once had a rash on my underarm for about a month. Not sure if was poison ivy or what. Went swimming in the Gulf and the next day the rash was gone.

I've had some ARC from others a few times but nothing like what you had. To this day it's still the best tasting weed I've ever had and no ARC I've had from others even comes half way close.
I found these when I was going thru my vault last week. Maybe it's time to

man he really stunk it up on sunday!!! i can't believe i got a 7 from the 1!!! thats a score right there!!

next up is bristol baby!!! guess who i have??? your wife and i will be rooting together!!!!!! last week i had to root for a douche, the week i gotta root for the douche nozzle!!!! got the 8 for both bristol races this year!!

All around though, what a fucked up race. Surprised too considering it was Darlington but whatever. I hope they fix that bump before the Fall race because that thing makes the TMS bump look tame.

man i've been saying it for years, darlington has needed a face lift for a long time now!! the track was awesome before safer barriers. that cushion took away a half groove that was the best groove on the track and changed the way stock cars have approached it. the true darlington stripe isn't a thing anymore and i wish these guys wouldn't shove it down our throats. before safer barriers the track would have a slight bow to it in the exit of the corner going into the straight away.. this was the stripe. fucked up all kinds of drivers!!! made for awesome racing but i will say this darlington was one of those tracks that needed safer barriers!! so for the longevity of drivers i'm glad they did it.

but it's just time for a change... a big change to that track.. if you can't go outwards anymore than use the inside more and change the angle a little.

history is cool and all but those guys aren't here anymore, their cars aren't around anymore and things just aren't as slow as they once were. the throwback theme is awesome and i'm glad they started it a few years ago but it ain't enough to hide a shitty race track anymore.

Welp, onto Bristol and I think this is the race Briscoe runs double duty on Saturday and Sunday so look for the Lance Crackers car this weekend.

he runs the double!??! very cool man!!! Larson runs the triple this weekend... bristol BABY!!!!!!!

Got the cleaning supplies you recommended in today along with other fun truck stuff!



I wanna give my truck the Mr. Luv spit shine now! Man that glass needs it so bad too so thanks Buddy!

ahhh yeah!!! thats the good stuff!!!!! 10:1 like it says.. enough for ten gallons of cleaner.. your wife will have you cleaning the house windows with it!!!

so if you were to bring your ride to me i would use my foamer to lay on some clean slate...


then because of where you drive i would i heavily saturate the entire exterior in de-iron.. both brands highly recommended.. then re-foam with a softer soap after the de iron.. double wash but's worth it!



then use my dual action buffer with a hex pad to lay on some flex wax... this stuff was designed for black paint!!! it's my go to on high end details, not the easiest and fastest but the best quality!! has a matching compound but from all the photos i've seen your truck doesn't need to be polished.. i'd personally leave the clear coat in tact and not buff it out, modern cars have a layer of clear coat thinner than a post-a-note.. most shitty detailers just pound it with a DA to make it quick and easy to make a better buck.. in turn they burn most of the clear coat right off instead of cleaning it properly. thats not me and i don't do that.

so if you had any deep scratches to take out i'd hand polish it and then use the DA to lay the wax on.



then once all finished with the paint i would swab your tires with this dressing and then wipe down all plastics with 303..



and that would be a full on luv shack spit shine!!!!!!!!!

loose connectors are a problem on car audio quite often because the abuse they endure. especially doors, they get jarred constantly. i like to mechanically hold the wire on the speaker lug then solder it fast. it takes a bit longer but it's never coming loose!!

seven different strains in flower this round.. bro even i can't keep track!!! haha i'm gonna take them all out and rearrange them all once again after the stretch and put the net on top again to help keep the branches separated.

only one way to find out!!!!!!!

sea water man, not bay water!! i got my pond water, that works okay.. kinda shitty!!! hahaha

Dude...you're gonna laugh at what I used to clean my interior today before going in to the sound shop.....

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VCBQ6KF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Yeah...I'm pathetic.
I've only had a car detailed once and that was my old hybrid before we drove it to NOLA and I can tell ya man they didn't use anything like what you use and do. I guess that's why I only had it done once and even that was with a Groupon.
Maybe one of these days I'll get a kit and do it up right because it needs it pretty bad.

Truck goes in the shop Friday and I hope to get it back same day but install might go into Saturday. Having the whole thing redone and this time installing an amp too. They offered an upgrade and trade for the new Pioneer into a bigger and better JVC with something that looked like a TV screen it was so big so I took it. Kinda didn't want another Pioneer anyways but took it for the savings. They just moved the same savings to another $1000 head and marked it down for me.
Will get Focal component speakers after a side by side comparison with coax 6x9s. Asylum 4 channel amp and all the other shit to make it work with my back up camera, USB, and steering wheel interface. Not happy with cost but after being showed how Best Buy fucked up my install and not wanting to pay for mental therapy, I'm down with it. They're gonna give me lifetime warranty on install too so if anything gets loose they fix it for free. Hopefully no later than Saturday afternoon my truck is thumpin' again!

i get compliments a lot and repeat customers so i must be doing something right. i use all good usa made products and everybody seems to respond well to that. i charge $200 for a full detail inside and out. $100 for just each an interior or exterior. and stains or paint correction is on a quote basis once i see it.

kind of curious, do you remember what you paid back then?

Too funny about the glob of slime!!!
I'd put it like this....Yes it works. It doesn't do great but it does pick up loose dust and get in cracks. It's weird and I kinda like it but doubt I'll buy another. Might be better than qtips though in those corners and crevices.

That detail was new years of 2018 and I think it was $120 but the Groupon made it $80 then I got hustled on wax which added another $120 overall so yeah man like $200 and it wasn't what I'd call a detail. Exterior was done in a car wash then wiped down and interior was done by hand but I know they didn't really "detail" it because the dead bee that was on the back window sill was still there when they were done lol.
I know about the guys who do work like what you do and they're way different.
#1 is they go to the car and customer don't bring the car to them so they're always mobile.
The jobs they do take around 5-7 hours. I know because I have a couple rich neighbors who use these guys on their hummer and Teslas and they're there nearly all day. I think they charge by the hour and it's around $100-$150 so one detail job on a big ass Hummer would be like around $500-$600 and that big bastard is immaculate after.

Yeah they're gonna pants me on the install. There goes all the joy of paying off a CC and the horror of nearly maxing it out again on a fucking freezer and sound lol.

i have a few gimmick cleaners like that laying around that i never use...



honestly the only tool i really use for interiors is one of these... add some air or all purpose cleaner if needed and i never found a spot it can't clean, and quick too!!! also works great on the lug nuts of wheels!!

my clients at the HOA's love my full service deal, i pick it up and bring it back.. they don't want to deal with it and don't want the mess in their driveway!! so i'm the guy!!!

but yeah i'll spend 5-7 hours easy.. and i'm hustling by myself to get it done!! most times Cindy helps me. she like to ckean windows and i hate that part so it;s an awesome team!! right now i'm getting calls for full details.. people want their rides fresh for the sprig and like to wait just after april showers... i got a few weeks yet and i will be booked solid till june. then it's mostly just touch ups and one offs.. in the summer i'll hit the HOA's and touch up three or four a day!!!! its a seasonal job for sure but i enjoy it a lot!

Yeah they're gonna pants me on the install. There goes all the joy of paying off a CC and the horror of nearly maxing it out again on a fucking freezer and sound lol.

hopefully they hook you up with a nice power lead, that will show the quality and effort right from the start... if you open your hood and see a nice fat 2awg wire going to the amp then they're pros!! my stereo wire is thicker than the whole vehicle runs from!! this tells you if they went all out or just mounted stuff and connected it to the factory fusebox. a fat lead ensures you never have dash light fade when the bass thumps. in turn causing unneeded abuse to your electrical system.



i'm also an imaging junkie.. i like the bass and mids but i also like the symbols in a band to smack me in the face when i'm driving.. i have tweeters in my windshield pillars and a set in the top side of my doors all with full crossovers in between. the ones built into the rearview mirrors are also badass too and IMO the best tweeter location on a vehicle!






you guys see a new season of street outlaws on discovery? locals only edition.. i missed that show a lot and glad to see it back on.

Damn I didn't even see it was out of stock! My bad guys

My old man pays 480 to have his mustang done twice a year.
In the spring and in the fall before he parks it.
The guy comes 2 days and does all my dads vehicles for 1500.... he's nuts imo, I get the mustang. But his 2008 f250? Why

Damn I didn't even see it was out of stock! My bad guys

i gave em an email, maybe they'll be back in stock before the sales up, plus that wasn't t only cool piece they have. i'll check em out more.. but honestly i'm still nowhere even close to being bored with my new glass...

man most of people i do work for are nuts!! it's why i keep going back!! hahaha

but i get it, i have clients and they like what they like.. i don't judge, i just say yeah i can do that!! whatever you need..

i really need to raise my rates though. nobody ever even blinks at my invoices and 90% of the time i get tipped. i also get given stuff a lot, mostly things that require fixing but still better quality than i own.

like last week a guy asked me to assemble his new patio storage box.. i said sure no problem. then he askes me if knew where to get rid of his old one i said sure, my house!!! hahaha

it's now on my porch... haha

And here I thought I was a big spender by getting the $12 car wash instead of the $8 at the grocery store gas station

Going over my invoice it looks like they'll use an 8awg power kit.
For now they'll stick a new pair of component 6.5s in the doors and the tweeters will go in the dash up under the windshield.
Not sure where they'll put the amp. Most likely under the passenger seat. It's a 4 channel and I'm having them do that now so later I can install rear speakers in the cab so I have a full set of 4 plus the sub.

They did cut me a deal on a JVC head. I told them I wasn't too excited about going with another Pioneer but it had the 9" screen so that won out. They gave me a better in person deal on a JVC with a 10" screen for the same price and lots more features.
They're gonna put in something called maestro that has the truck talk to the stereo to relay diagnostics so I can check tire pressure and shit like that on the screen.
IDK much about the brands but I asked for quality all around and it was kinda hard to convey to the guy that look I'm not looking for the cheapest thing. I want the best you have within this budget.
So he would go over some bargain gear from Kicker and I had to keep asking, "have anything better".

The head is JVC...this model here but for only $550

https://www.amazon.com/JVC-KW-Z1000W-Bluetooth-Receiver-Touchscreen/dp/B08GV15DDM

If these are not the 6.5s they're very similar but mine were $40 less than amazon

And here's the amp. This is the fucker that drove the installation quote thru the roof but fuck it man I wanted to eat the cost now so it's ready for more speakers later this Summer
