    I did some unmaintained road touring last night. Didn’t even need 4WD. Could have done them in a Corolla. Whatever, still amusing.

    here’s my home hardware SST. OD is 2-5/8”. Perfect match for the axle seal. Glued a cap onto it and it was perfect!  Prolly didn’t even need the cap.

    Made a nice table out of a sewing machine base and a piece of live edge Walnut.

    After breaking a string last night wailing on my guitar for a couple of hours, I put the table to it’s first use today:

    Good deal on strings at L&M – 3 pack of hybrid slinkies for $18.25

    What a sweet looking table Steve!  That live edge has some awesome colour in it.

    I now have a vibration in the steering wheel between 80 and 95Kmph. Goes away at 100 Kmph.

    I think it might be a tire out of balance.  Going to try rotating tires front to back and see if the vibration moves with the tires tomorrow.

    Hopefully just a chunk a frozen debris from your little tour the other day.

    Ah! Good point – I’ll check that out first.  Didn’t even think of that!

    One time I took her into the dealer for some warranty work after a winter back roads run.  They sent me a picture of the undercarriage and said they’d have to let it melt before they could do anything.  They actually took it pretty well…  I’ll post the picture if I can find it.

    Haha that’s pretty much encased in ice.  Glad they could thaw it in their shop, rather than your own.  Prolly picked up a few free ponies by the time it thawed out and got on a diet.

    I had to chip and thaw truckee cause I got tired of riding bump stops around.  Took a couple hundred pounds of snow off the belly, muuuch faster.

    I sprayed off the front rims and put some air in the left front tire (forgot it had a slow leak).  Vibe is pretty much gone now, but can still see the steering wheel shake a tiny bit occasionally.  That’ll do for now… Got a major kitchen reno that I will be starting soon.
