Where is everyone #5

Heh.

 

I know you didn't ask me bbuuttt. Lol
Hub oil is just essentially lube hanging out in a hole. If its low then it either wasn't filled, leaked, or something is getting hot enough to bake it. If that's the case it smells lol.


Many will throw an oiler on and fill to sight plug and call it good. Hub oil is thick and takes a bit to run down past the bearings. Turning the hub while adding works good too. At any rate keep adding till it quits dropping or it runs out the back which means start over

 

Nah, just scrap metal. Everything from bandsaw blades to washing machines to other junk. Baled and stacked. Literally trash.

 

Wheel seal leak. Thing is, you might not see it when it first starts. It will leak into the brake drum and saturate the brake pads. On the drive axles, you normally notice it when you see oil splattered all over the inside sidewalk of the tire. If you don’t catch it, you hear it when BOOM, your steer tire blows to kingdom come after the wheel bearings caught fire. Getting stopped is only part of the problem. Getting the superheated metal that was the hub to quit burning and flaming up is the 2nd issue.
Or you see the drive tires come of as you’re rolling, and they go bounding down the road to hit an oncoming car at 60 miles per hour.

 

Nothing like seeing a set of duals pass you at 3am headed north on the KC expressway about Clinton mo. Raining like hell, hide hangin out the side of a tandem axle Merritt spring ride pot. Realizing they were mine, priceless. I had been seeing something in the mirror that didn't look like any rain spray I had ever seen. I get stopped, chase my duals down use my spare tire winch to set them behind the bunk then made one of the dumbest decisions I ever made. Jacked that axle up chained it and went on to Kansas. It worked out but doesn't make it any better.


To this day I walk around and touch every hub every time. Almost 20 years later

 

Picked up a Bawidamann blade. Heard a lot about them, talked myself out of it a few times. The thing is like a gigantic razor. It is literally, no lie, sharp enough to shave with.

“But Six... that’s a $300 knife! Are you insane???”

I wonder that some times. See, everyone has a weakness, even demonic a-holes. Mine are knives, guns and women that can crush watermelon with their legs.

It’s how I want to die. See David Carradine’s way was to put a tourniquet on his goobers and asphyxiation himself at the same time. I think my way is better.

Maybe I am insane...

 

Yup, but the case obviously has leaky hydraulics. Had to get a couple of straps and a monkey wrench out and pull it back in.

Your running the same RPM I do at 65 MPH in “the big hole”.
Lol


Made it to Council Bluffs, IA for the “night”. Fueled and ready to roll in the morning.

 

Every part of this statement was awsome and true, but I especially enjoyed the part about the women with the legs that could kill, literally. And I couldn't agree more.. that's the way I'd wanna go too.

Thanks for that, Six.

 

Man that looks tasty!

I’ve cooked about a dozen briskets in my smoker. I’ve tried a few different techniques but I can’t ever get the texture right. I meen it’s edible and tastes good but, I’m obviously missing something.

I’ll keep trying. I have yet to throw one on the trash can.

 

Think I found the spot for the weekend

Almost had a heart attack coming across US30. Underpass for train tracks...

“Fawk me I don’t remember this bridge being here”

I see the yellow sign in the wee distance.

No thru trucks on the right.

“Cmon what’s the height”

I’m fumbling for my map book. Start going again with the traffic and the sign reads...

15’-10”



It was deceiving from a distance I swear
