My "new" Rig!

Well, here's my latest jalopy, a '92 Toyota 4WD pickup. I picked 'im up for one grand even a couple months ago and got it roadworthy. V6 3.0L, 5-speed, manual locking hubs, tilt, AM/FM, extended cab, cap. Oh, by the way it's for sale for 2 grand even now if anyone's interested. ;-)

A Little Wrenchin'

Verse of the Day: I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit. Ecclesiastes 1:14

A couple weeks ago some of us men from church met to attempt an engine swap in a missionary's 1980's Dodge van. The V-6 had broken a connecting rod cap and was totally junk, so a brother donated an identical engine that was sitting in his garage. We had a lot of fun, and it was good fellowship.

Bro. Andy and David work on the replacement engine.

Backing the old engine up and out with the skid loader.

There she be!

The "new" engine on the engine stand.

It turned out to be a lemon itself, so we held a committee and decided not to throw any more time or money into the old vehicle. Poor ole' Betsy! But we got some more experience and learned some neat things, like, don't work over a bucket of used oil... you will be fishing out wrenches and sockets. I see why they call it elbow grease!

Frozen!

Verse of the Day: Psalms 147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?


I woke this morning in my cozy little trailer and went to freshen up and get ready for the day.
But...

                               

Nothing!

The old-fashioned way. A pan full of snow...

... gets you this much water.

Scrub 'em up!

I left the well pump with a couple heat lamps. We'll see how it goes... check back later.

It thawed out, no problem, thank God!

God bless, and stay w-w-war-r-rm-m-!
