The Czickness XLV anxious for the SGE

[patience0830]

Ive been down that rabbit hole before. My ex-stepdad growing up had a open class turbo diesel, and a super stock rail lookin “JD” with a VW engine. He got me an old “12hp” cub with the cast iron 3sp trans to pull when i was 10ish. When i got to old for the kids class i called it quits. That’s entirely to time consuming for me right now but an 82 series cub with a new EFI Briggs big block isnt out of the question in the future lol.

Briggs and "Big Block" do not belong in the same sentence.

Awesome. Headers on a vette… don’t envy you. Good luck on that… Haha!!!

I’ve got a 2557-20 that I picked up earlier this year, love it. Use it everyday. I need to add some more bigger batteries, but the small slim ones fit in more places…

I have a four post lift in my very small garage. Perfect for that kinda work.

I was concerned about the larger battery as I don't have any of the skinny M12s - everything else is M18.

I think @bcannon owes me an M18 battery still (just kidding BC)...maybe change that to a couple M12s?

I am well past looking....more of a see/buy person than, well, some people.

Sorry....didn't know you had logged in here...

Sounds like the perfect garage to do a bunch of swearing and throwing tools, so yes perfect for that kinda work!

I’ve got a handful of m12 stuff I use on the daily, dipped my toe in the m18 with a 1/2 impact not long back, but that’s it so far. Looking to add a few others and possibly sell my existing Snap On stuff. I love the SO stuff, but the cost of adding more is too great for me to justify for my uses.

Morn'n gents :bigglassofOJ:

I do have your m18 sitting at the ready Sir mcapo but I do have 1 extra m12. The other two are for my heated sweatshirt and will be wearing that til it stays above 50°, blood thinners suck. You can choose which 1 you want though.

M18 impact is a serious tool. I went to adjust the entry gate at the baseball field last year and it sheared off a stuck bolt without a thought. LOL

Again, I don't do much wrenching anymore but when asked, having the right tools makes all the difference. Have a new set of 1/2 metric impacts showing up today. My youngest son will get my old mix-n-match set. I've filled up a 5' tool box for him in the past year.

I wouldn't mind finding a project motorcycle. Maybe a 65 FLH basket case?...but i digress.

No such thing as an "extra" battery. ;-) You better just hold onto them.

Nope a deal is a deal. You have to choose.

The moniker alone was fair compensation.

Saw my first Robin yesterday.

a whole herd of 'em came about a week ago and have stayed near our feeders.

They are plentiful around the AridBelt.

Your call, I would take a battery myself
Let me know if you change your mind.

Good(late) morning all. Been a busy body at work and home.

Did get my Swampfox Liberty in yesterday and boresighted. Testing will be done Saturday in prep for an upcoming carbine clinic.

Booked Magpie's party at the dreaded Chuck E. Cheese this morning too.

You paid enough. It was the best 15 minute of my February.

If you want a deal on some m12 small batteries, I see this screwdriver on sale all the time 2401-20, with two 1.5ah batteries, a charger and a case for $70… I like the driver itself but the batteries are worth it for the buy too.

I agree. Tell that to Briggs though lol

I've been watching the eagles again this morning. 3 of them finally landed to take a break. 2 adults and 1 big adolescent. Thought I'd share. See if you can find them. Sorry for the pic quality, I'm using my phone.

 

[mcapo]

I see two - would be guessing at the third?
