Timo's Christmas / New Years Thread

So, thanks to AQMD/Carb, the oldest oven at werk needed a LoNox burner upgrade before the first of the year. The contractor was lined up, and with it usually being slow over the holidays, it was decided that Timo would have to help getter done, and everything up ASAP. Any fun/Dez camping & riding would have to wait until then.

So the weekend before Xmas, Timo started the 12-14 hour days, 7 per week. :faint:

being that i dabled in electrical work building pools and wiring up equipment seeing wires like that always drives me nuts. it really doesnt take that much more effort to 90 those wires and make it look clean. i know it will work and gets the job done its just always been a pride in my work thing.

dont get me wrong if it wors it works ... its just how i was trained. the company i worked for was a stickler about it so i gained a OCD about it. big difference between the two industrys tho im guessing... for a pool company if that person calls another company for repairs and the wires look like a rats nest its very easy for them to make our company look bad.

After a couple 80 hour weeks, the oven was done Tuesday the 7th, and Timo loaded up the rig, picked up Rolls, but before we got on the freeway, dumbass, not paying attention stupid Timo hit a curb, and took out a trailer rim. After checking around, I found out that when I builtthe trailer, I used the rims that came with it. The problem was they were custom reversed wheels, and a normal rim wasn't going to work. At this point, the trip was shelled, and the next morning, we hit Johnson Valley.
We staged at Anderson, and was the only one there.
New Years2014 007.JPG We meandered around, and found this cool spot for a rest.

There was even wood if you should happen to want a fire.

Walking around, it looked like if you wanted in, the front door would be a cake walk. A deadbolt would be a great upgrade here.:picard:

I like the bullet hole.

There was also this drag mark right off the front door.

I have my guess of what it was.

After the rest stop, we headed North to find some JV singletrack.


As you can see, there is none there.

We'll hit that at a later date.

So on Friday, with the fun behind me, I unloaded the trees, and wood.

Put the trailer up, and stripped her down.

I got one side all cut out, and ready to start fitting the new parts.

I've got wheels, and tires that will be here Tuesday, and tomorrow I'll go by the trailer supply house, and see what springs, axles, and fenders will set me back. Oh did I say Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to all my DBA Brethren.:cheers:

the stuff you are able to do on your own is of epic proportions. I cant even imagine what i would be paying someone if that happened to me with my current garage and driveway space. shits prolly easy peazy for you but a project like that is impressive to me buddy.


and rack... i got my :popcorn: ready :lol:

Rack:
Next time bring your own Beer and energy bar.

Is the bullet hole something new or has that been there a while?

They were mine, and we hauled all our trash out. I've not payed much attention, so I'm not sure about the hole.
