The Co-op, it’s a diesel weekend…

Janies brother will be watching the cat so we can ride the diesel coach to the GMC Sunshine Statesmen rally near St. Augustine this weekend.  Can’t wait to see what that baby will do!  I have the tach working now.  Funny but to get a tach to read on a non computer ignition, you glue a magnet to the harmonic balancer then hand a sensor near it like we used to do on those ole Delta cruise controls!  Learning new stuff @ diesel all the time!  I’ll try and post from the rally…

diesel driving 2  Yes, this is the Hum V GM turbo-diesel Manny put together.. a real work of art!Diesel-12    Hope to see you there at the rally…

This morning we had the 4th 30 yard dumpster picked up… my mechanical hoarding days are gone  1.13.17 morning 1Sorry guys but I’ve had to clean our act up… no more room for all that stuff.. I need the space.  Jeff S. came and took a couple of piles of the stuff… for safe keeping and I am keeping some really “Unobtanium” things but … man, there had to be an intervention…. I feel better now!  Cutting back the trees we can finally do something with the east side of the property and get the awnings finally set back up  1.13.17 morning 2.Those 40′ Hum V limos take up a pile of space!  1.13.17 morning 4  We’re refloorplanning the main floor to get the wood working area near the fans to get more effective work spaces…. and today were paving up some holes in the tarmac and at the entrance… can’t wait to see those improvements! 

Yes sir, we’re getting our game on at the Co-op….. no more messy, overworked dingy shop!  No more lone rangers keeping their work stacked up giving them job security… we’re getting stuff done!   I’ve always said we are a year backlogged… we’re 6 months backlogged now!  The production line is coming together and we’re doing just fine. 

I think we finally figured out how to have Patreon work for all of us.  If you tried to navigate it in the past go there again… it’s all open and free if you wish.  This information needs to be available to all, like I said … go to  www.patreon.com the get a password (just like registering for Facebook) then search the site for “Motorhome Rehab Ranch“…. click it and take a look.

Looks like Nic’s Mac Dash is going in today 1.13.17 morning 5 Oh and big news Nic… your roller 403 motor will be dropped off at the shop Monday morning….. Monday I’ll do  Patreon video on the fireup of the power plant.  Ahhh, you too will now experience the “Red Neck Lullaby”  A big block running on the ground with uncapped headers…. at’s a beautiful thangggg.

OK, a wash job and a fluids check and I’ll be off to the rally…. see ya later….
