A beautiful all-inclusive resort, nice but 1/2 of all the wedding guests came back with food poisoning. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Don't plan on ever returning
I had a similar experience in Puerto Vallarta, on my honeymoon.
Not food poisoning but a sinus infection that was hell!
When it rains there ..watch out.. its serious.
Stayed in the resort at Mismola beach or something supposedly famous for being the site of the Houston film Night of the Iguana.
Ill never go back either. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I have two cars to move to my new place ASAP. How soon can you get here tomorrow? 8 AM, 7??
LOL (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ... I'm still stuck in So. Cal, it'll be a while before I get back out to my place in AZ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

I applied stain/weather sealer to the planks, installed an old toolbox from one my previous trailers and started on the winch installation yesterday. Will get it wired up this weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Got a little more done today - winch all installed ... 'smoke test' tomorrow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blowup.gif)

Actually, I re-routed the battery cables to the other side of the box where the battery hold-down is located - no pix yet ... film at 11

Ready to thread the rope cable through (had to cut out a slot ... used up 3 Dremel cutting disks) ...

Kind of good news - I have a friend out in Riverside who has frame straightening apparatus and is willing to try to pulling HOWARD's trailing arm mounts back into place ... so the trailer's gonna be pressed into action soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Smoke test, I smoked all day yesterday and might do that again today. I'm making progress on tuning it but I think because of it's size and the way that I roll it may take another day or two to get my head clear.

The thermometer said 225 but it took 4hrs for me to stop paying attentional to it and finish the chicken in the oven. The thermometer is at the very top of the chamber and at the bottom of the chamber is about 150° so I added about 30% more heat and overcooked some chicken in about 2hrs. In my other smoker it takes me about 1hr and 45 minutes to get the results that I want. Nice smoker but I think I will still finish off my ribs in the oven.

I hope you didn't find any smoke Mark....

Hey, Joe ... nice smoker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

I decided to add an additional winch brace under the deck for good measure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Attached Image


Redressed the cables and mounted the hand control socket. I thought about shortening the motor cables, but they had nice terminal ends on them, so I said - what the fv<k

Attached Image


Then, installed a 100Ah AGM battery & prepared for the 'smoke test'. Pulled the cable rope out to the back of the trailer, locked the drive, crossed my fingers & pulled the trigger. Works like a champ, albeit no load on the winch ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

I am taking the online tutorials for Fusion 360. I need to make some brackets for the ITB setup for my engine. So, in a way I am working on my 914.

Drove friend's rally-prepped 911SC in local speed hillclimb event. Pretty narrow in places and reminded me how much more balanced my 914 feels compared to a 911...
