Aaannnnnd...it's gone.

I put a bunch of break-in miles on the Outback. Took it to the detail shop and listed it this morning. Wish me luck.

Firewood is hard work. But worth it.

Impressed, nonetheless.

What would you guess that load weighs?

Thanks.

I hadn't heard that but thinking back, all the orange ones I've known were males. This guy seems to act more like a dog than a cat. It's weird.

Thanks, it's not as big in real life as it looks in the photo (giggity). I'm fortunate to have it though.

This guy showed up a couple weeks ago down by the cabin. He was hobbling around on 3 legs and I was hoping he was a hobo just passing thru. Unfortunately, he moved in and my wife caught wind. Now he's permanant. Apparently his femur was broken off at the pelvis. Ouch. No collar or chip but he's abou...

I guess I never really finished up the cabin updates. It's all done and she's moved in. As such, no current pics of the inside to respect her privacy. The bar top got dark stain and sealer before being installed at the edge of the platform above the barstools. https://i.postimg.cc/qR7qbyn8/20230917-...

Looks great!

Outback engine is in and running. Sounds good. It's been through 2 heat cycles. I'll do one more in the morning and do an oil change. I've got a set of tires, wheel bearings, and hood struts on order. Then a detail. It'll look great in someone else's garage. https://i.postimg.cc/x13CS6gy/20231021-10...

Tater, if you haven't seen this guy's channel before, he's pretty solid.

Something occurred to me while I was washing it. I've owned this for about 15 years and have never buffed or waxed it. I bet it'd be pretty shiny if I did.

Washed a thick layer of dust off and did a taco run. Still on the same tank of gas from almost 2 years ago.

I wouldn't think you'd need to droop the pan for TCM replacement. Could it just me age and mileage?

Remember the Forester I bought to replace Supervibe? Well, my daughter kept bugging me about it so I made her a deal. She's been driving it to work for a couple months now and it seems to be doing okay. Looks like it's sips a little oil, but I mostly expected that it would. Today we went out to Silv...

Subaru. It's for the Outback I bought to flip. The builder lives NE of Camas out in the hills. I had a job in Portland on Wednesday so I killed 2 birds.

That's a great result! When I was a kid we lived next to a school's agricultural plot. They had acres of strawberries. At the east end of the field were huge strawberries that we used to feed on with our friends. I remember the fruit being almost fist sized (mid to late '80s). Nothing has ever been ...

Yeah, there were subtle changes during the production run with trim and such. Mine is a '59, which was the first year and seems to have a little more brightwork. The '59s had a bull nose on the front, whereas the later ones don't and have the bow light up there instead of on the roof. https://i.post...
