That's it, I'm gettin me mallet (3rd system I've tried and failed on)

Small added context to the bearing failure (that still isn't fixed). It was cooked cooked by the time it blew the seal. I'm surprised none of the other bearings in the rear end ate it with how much metal it shed. Looked like someone dumped a tube of big glitter in there 💀

Wheel bearings took a piss and shredded the seals. I have no idea how I managed to drive 400 miles like that, but I'm still mad I have to replace them again.

Uh... girl, uh... breakfast?

Two weeks staring at this and I've barely done anything. Tomorrow should be the day I drop the motor back in and break in the new cam. If it doesn't explode (knock on wood), I'll get to decide if I want to rebuild the transmission too, or just suck it up so I can get it driving faster.

This show is so hilariously unhinged lmao

The folks who make these tools are the best because they put in the time and effort to make them. Also because they're sometimes so silly you gotta take a sec to laugh yourself sore. I just about died when this loaded. This masterpiece was made by fohdeesha for crossflashing Dell raid cards.

My one buddy is asking what I'm doing with my servers, and it's always some shit like this. Istg I'm gonna do something productive with them, I just have to get better at doing my school work on time.

After about 7 months of work, I finally have something that looks like an engine. The intake and carb are just sitting there, I didn't have time to clean the insanely grimy bolts before I needed to leave. I'll probably paint the block before it goes on the car so it looks less weird.

Ah yes, there is half an engine here now. Got the even bank its lifters, pushrods, and new roller rockers in last night. I even got to bed at a reasonable time.

It has an oil pan now and will have one cylinder head tonight. Maybe two if I can motivate myself to do the valves on the other tonight.

Took two months, but it has a rotating assembly that spins again. Hopefully everything else doesn't take this much time, but there's a looong way to go before it's back on the road.

My spring break is off to an amazing start. My wheel bearing died on the way to my parents' house, and I somehow managed to make it the last 10 miles there safely. Now I'm out mega moolah because GM decided the entire hub assembly shouldn't be a serviceable part and instead be a consumable good. 🙃

More from this series because I can only do 4 attachments at a time

More stuff from my #mff roll. I was trying *really* hard to hit liminal space stuff after the con was over and a few turned out pretty good. The con space is such a maze I only found my way around thanks to @dorkyhusky.bsky.social.

I got my film back from #mff finally. I got a bunch of random stuff but the main people ones are @stztic and @katav.gay.

That's a lot of filled squares... I'm concerned and don't know what to do @dorkyhusky.bsky.social
