Nice. it looks like some of my trips around here. Some of the people look the same and even one of the dogs. Where are the real Jeeps?

So, you don't appreciate our conversation about pressurized tanks? It's just a conversation after all and if one goes off it can scare the crap out of you whatever the cause is and hopefully somebody will learn from it. I have a Bic lighter here on my desk. Probably more dangerous than a CO2...

I've seen the pictures of an O2 tank going off if the valve gets broken and the pictures of a semi tire that decided to launch it's split ring into a ceiling while being refilled. About 4" into the rafters. I never had it happen to me. I stood back in my tire shop days while inflating or used...

Nice write up Jerry, go with your dreams. People give me crap about how I live my life but I usually have a dog following me back home in the afternoon from a friends house.

I'm not here to argue. I worry more about the O2 and acetylene bottles out in the shed, (4) and how if they burned it would blow the crap out of my Buick and probably 1/2 of my backyard. It probably wouldn't do my house any good either. Yep, 2 are chained to the wall and the other 2 have their...

Intereresting read. I will send it off to the people than I know that are welding engineers, chemists and engineers to get their views on it. I'm not poo, pooing you, I just want a confirmation from people that have worked in the various industries for years. As said, I don't have the bottle...

The place that did the refill is the place in town that refills for most of the other places. They also do the hydro testing for the area. I think I just had a bum release valve that finally decided to let go. Given how CO2 works as it goes from a liquid to a gas the vapor pressure inside...

I've woken up in a few tents that have collapsed on me overnight due to a snow load and had the awning hanging down enough to drag on the top of my door in my Mitsu. WTH, it was only out about 2 feet. I was really just going out to clear the snow out of the satellite dish so I could watch the...

Animals enrich our lives. I remember all of the dogs that all of us have had over the years and I think I have had more cats that attached themselves to me. I'm not really a cat lover but there has been a few that I miss... I was up helping a lady fix up a winter enclosure for her borrowed old...

Neat ride. I never wondered why the pipes the were scraped up on my Harley. Canyon bashing. When I sold it, the guy got a new set of pipes with it.

I've heard about rock pickers but over my years in a tire shop, I've never seen one installed. If you want to see some strange stuff try to find info on the Hipkins traction device or Olsen Giant Tire Lugs. Basically like putting a Catapiller track on a truck tire or around a set of duals on a...

Judging by your tagline you have some fun toys too so I assume you know why I prefer the company of dogs and cats over people. OK, there are a few women I like, more than the cats.

Sorry to hear about your damage but as you know, poop happens. I've owned this Jeep for something like 25 years and to walk around it some people may notice a bend in one exhaust pipe from all of it's use. It's the rescue Jeep. Don't look at the scars on the underside.

Yean, I think it's why I joined this site.

Thanks guy. I suppose there is a reason I have headed out there for over 30 years. Sorry most all of my photos died with my last computer.

From classes I learned that the earth goes through heating and cooling cycles about every 13,000 to 18,000 years. These are averages so take it as you will. We supposedly should be going into a cooling period. But it is possible we are screwing around with mother nature. It's like people that...

You are doing some very nice work on that Jeep. The video link works and you can coax it back to the start.

You need to do a link to the youtube video. I drove my niece and brother over to get to the liquor store. Elly was strapped into the passenger seat and her grin was worth the trip in my 3B. Both of his daughters have their own cars now and they fight dad to get the keys for his '92 Chevy 4X4...

Yep, I know what I 80 can be like, summer or winter. Rolled along with many Semis that had been released from SLC after a winter closure there, I had to do over 90 to get passed them to get to the exit for Cabellas. I've about been blown off of E470 on a return trip from Taos. The old joke is...

Judging from the valley and the glacial lake. it has shrunk a lot. Yeah, a rock head here (geologist). Don't worry, this stuff has been happening for more years than you need to worry about. and it will do it again.
