Today I finally got a creeper, a grease gun, grease, crush washers, and gear lube for the front/rear diff, transfer case, and greasing the slip yoke/drive shaft.
Left the crush washers in the wrong jacket, so had to go back home to get them, found I'D ended up with two weights of gear oil and they were out of 75w-90, and then found out that I'm incapable of setting up a new grease gun properly. I can't seem to get the air out of the damn thing to get some grease moving.
Lot of running around, not a lot of results

(deleted your pics to save thread space...)
here's what I built today...
It could probably hold a 250hp motor but I only need it to hold a 120lb, 20hp mercury. I used spax screws and Gr8 1/2" hardware. Needless to say, it's rock solid (TWSS...). I just want to put some finishing touches on it (sand and seal it with with some spar in the coming weeks...)
Wanted something I could disassembled in the summer months for easier storage when the motor is on the boat...
the cart to make wheeling it around easier in the winter months...

it pains me to see a motor lay on its side like that

look on the bright side... at least it was 50 degrees and you were able to run around without freezing your a$$ off! haha... I spent the entire day outside today just to feel the sun.
Yeah I have a custom Triton made CC w/Mercury Verado SC'd motor.
Trying to get it ready for Tarpon season

This is very true. The sun was nice. Working with the garage door open was a pleasant change.

haha. i don't have enough days available for this stuff to waste time on the run around. I had to do the goat rope for some tools that I had sold before moving from Alaska to Pennsylvania. Made for a frustrating day.

Goat rope?
And it is a pain, but I usually have everything I need. It's when I forget something I need and realize it, I'm usually half way in, and my truck isn't drivable.
Usually my dad's wife's Rav4 is home, but sometimes I get stranded with my truck on jack stands or with no oil in some component

Well I got really bored last night while it was raining. I had about 20 feet of led's Laying around so i started playing around with them on the grill. What do you think. I know it's not most people's style but fits my style. I'm not that guy that drives around with them but has them for whenever I'm bored and want to take pictures.

Never heard goat rope? I think it stems from a little kid event in rodeos where they try and rope goats. Between the kids and the goats its chaos and nothing is accomplished despite good intentions, hence goat rope.
Grabbed a buddy, and took some time to go play in the forest service area outside of North Bend, WA. The weather prediction was for a nice snowstorm to hit the general area, but it seems the lowlands was mostly a wash. However, the woods had a beautiful snowfall all day long. Nothing sticking, but still very pretty.
I hit a few good sized puddles, and my buddy finally decided he needed to get a video of one.
Video of me splashing through a puddle
Sitting in an almost virgin snowfield of a parking lot.
A slighty less virgin parking lot, but more snow.
Finished the day sitting around a nice campfire, drinking some warm drinks, and shooting the breeze.
Shortly after that, as we were packing up, a couple of young kids pulled up in a Volvo car, struggling in the light dusting. Knowing that we were about 4 miles from the end of the forest service road, I almost laughed when they said they thought they were heading for Highway 2. They had no gear, and no business being out there. We advised them to turn around right there and head back out, but they insisted on heading farther up the road. Hope they got out.
