Show me your day

Quote from Rob the Slob

Yesterday my Sling Shot brother av8ingtom , who is down here in Coonass land visiting his daughter and family met for lunch. He comes down about twice a year so we try to get together at a Cajun restaurant that is about in the middle.

When he got out of his truck he had a big brown bag in his hand and as he got closer I could read the name on the bag. It was a Jersey Mike’s bag. My all time favorite sandwich shop. The closest Jersey Mike’s is about 2 and a half hours away from where I live. I said wow let’s put it in the car and I will eat it for supper. He said he had called ahead and talked to the manager and was told it was okay to bring it in. When my wife and Tom got their food I opened the bag and there it was.... manna from heaven....... “The Big Kahuna “ Philly cheesesteak, double meat and double cheese. I could only eat half. Gonna have the other half for breakfast.

A very heart felt and stomach felt thank you Tom for making it a GREAT day!

As you can tell I have not been on the forum lately. So great to see you and Luann again. Glad you enjoyed the Jersey Mike’s sub.

Had a different kind of track day. 10 miles of peddling kicked my ass. Purdy scenery though.

Looks like it might be tough to pass...

Where is this??

Working on my exhaust last night and broke a bolt trying to remove a clamp

Course, no one has this in stock, but will have it today. Was supposed to take the sling into a muffler shop to get some custom pipes made to route around my trakhamr frame, had to postpone that until tomorrow.

First place I visited yesterday couldn't do it they said, their pipe machine won't make those types of bends they tell me. I'm not asking for 90's, but I'm not an expert on it either, just showed them which route I wanted it to go and they said nope.

2nd place (only other place here in this small town) said they weren't sure, but they'd try.

Wish you were local brother, I have 2 shops less than 15 minutes from me that do mandrel bends perfectly.

So, if I have to call around looking for another shop, that's what I should ask for, mandrel bends?

The fun of living in a small town

wokka Correct. Mandrel bends with V flanges welded on that way your V-band clamps seal 100%.

Here are the ones I use https://www.summitracing.com/parts/sum-694930 (Come as a complete kit)

I have them on my Vette and Escalade, never had any leaks.

It starts in Bay City and goes to Tillamook. There's another setup in wheeler too

Is that where they make the awesome cheese?

I'm sure you have some place that can do this without issue. Years ago (likely nearly 18 years as I recall) my then supervisor (and good friend) had a 1970 Chevelle SS that he bought new originally. He ordered it (because his wife wanted White interior with a bench seat as they were expecting their first born) in red with black SS stripes, 396 with a 4 speed, white interior with a bench seat. He drove it for the first year he had it, then used it only in nice weather as they got a daily driver for other days. He hadn't had it out for a few years (this was around 2000) but when I built a 1967 GTO clone (no badges, just all the good stuff, still had Tempest lights and such) he got the bug. He had the engine rebuilt from the standard 396 to a mid 500 horsepower pavement pounder. Now, mind you... this was all naturally asperated and carbureted to boot. He needed a 3 1/2 inch exhaust thru 2 chamber Flowmasters to make it breath right. The shop he went to bent the pipe above the axle and also "flattened" it. Basically it was still the same 3 1/2 inch, but was oval shaped and then arched over the axle. It did not impede the flow, and the sound was awesome!

All that and 6-9 MPG depending on driving styles (on 105 race gas)…… and yes... he still has it with (last I knew) near 70K actual other than the changes. I asked him about whether he'd sell it for the right price..... he said that will be something to ask the estate directors. Until then, No.

Sorry for the long post.... just hoped to share a backstory that I thought was along the same issues.

I just cut the knee deep weeds on my 100 yard shooting range. The 25 yard stays looking like my yard. I can go out to around 400 yards but I am not going to cut the weeds for that.

No FunCycle , just wait for the deer, then clear.

Four acres of live oaks also right behind my house and it is cleared. I can shoot them day or night, 16 acre pond/lake with the turkeys and the damn Geese crapping in the yard.

Here blows another billion dollar idea...

Steak and Herbs!

Similiar idea worked for Colonel Sanders.

My first introduction to pot was while riding horseback in New Mexico as a kid. The horses loved it but made them stupid. We called it locoweed.
