Next up was the alignment. When you take all that stuff off the tires are not aligned anymore so I had to do a little backyard redneck aligning.<br />
You take a piece of string and run it from the rear tire to the front along the outer edge. Since the drivers side was not messed with that was my gauge. I run the line across the center line of the rear tire across the center line of the front and when the string (make sure it barely touched the outer edges of the rear) touches the outer edges of the front tire your good on that side ( you may have to move the wheel to get it all in line.<br />
Switch over to the other side and do the same across the rear tire and for the front you may have to adjust it from turning the inner tie rod either in or out of the tie rod ball joint. Get it as close as you can, you'll still need to get it done by a professional but at least you won't be all over the road.<br />
Sorry no pictures, I was doing this as a one man job and didn't want to mess with the pictures just get it done.<br />
Here's a picture I grabbed off the Internet to give you an idea of what I did.<br />

I get a call that it's acting funny and shaking and shimmying all over so she pulled off if the church parking lot and got a ride to school from the wife. On my way home I stopped by to take a look, everything looked fine until I drove it.<br />
Felt like the wheels were locking up, so I parked it and got out to look. Drives side wheel was fine, pointing forward. Passenger side looked like it was turning left. I squeezed my head under and saw the the tie rod ball joint was disconnected from the tie rod (official name I think is Inner tie rod). I went home and packed a few tools and went back. Took the tire off and the ball joint and went to screw it back on and it just slid on most of the way. STRIPPED out. I was able to get a couple threads to hold and babied her back home.<br />
Everything came back off, I crawled under to see how to remove the tie rod. Did a Internet search on removal and crawled back under, did another search and crawled back under, did that about three more times. Looked the part up on the Internet and saw that it screwed in, so I crawled back under and saw that there was nothing to put a tool on.<br />
This frustrated me for about three days, until... I'm a big proponent of using the right tools for the right job... I figured if I could get a pipe wrench on it I may be able to get it off. Hunted high and low for my smallest wrench and went to work. Blam off it came (thanks 6" pipe wrench). Today I buy a new part and install sometime this weekend.<br />
I get tired laying in the gravel working on my cars.<br />
Anyway, here's the tie rod. Top part of the picture is the ball joint end that fastens to the control arm which is what steers the car, that screws on to the rod in the middle. Bottom end of the picture is the ball joint that I used the pipe wrench on to get it off, it's screwed into the steering rack. It's round with nothing to grip on.<br />

UPDATE: A little cold and windy after work today so the insatll did not happen. Looks like Thursday may be the day it's going to happen. It's not really the day tempreture, it's the night. Want it a little warmer to help them get acclimated and settled in.

We're going to wait till Monday to do the install, hopefully the weather will be a little warmer. We've had the bee's now since Friday and are keeping the warm and safe in the basement. After their trip from Georgia it's best to settle down for a day or two before they go into the hive.<br />
Here's the hive in the yard awaiting the bee's.<br />

It doesn't need to be to high off the ground, cinderblocks will work but we wantred something a bit higher and nicer to look at. The reason the hive needs to be off the ground is to stop any varmints or critters getting in. If something climbs up it will expose it's underside and the bee's will sting away.<br />

It's nice to have leftover boards and stuff from other projects, cuts down on the costs.Leonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09666382230550439220noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2866528949760741426.post-68415593161965188452013-03-26T20:38:00.000-04:002013-03-26T20:38:46.595-04:00Beginning bee keepingWe started taking a bee keeping class about 6 or so weeks ago (weather being a factor) and have two classes left. Very interesting to learn about. While trying to digest all the new information I figured I needed to get started on the hives.<br />
We bought a beginner kit so there was some work involved, you can get everything already done but what's the fun.<br />
First was to paint the parts: from the left to the right, the telescoping top, bottom board, hive body, inner cover and somewhere hidden the entrance reducer<br />

All I need now is to add a little paint. I was surprised to see they kept a eye out on me while I was busy sawing and screwing it all together. Hope they like it and I may have to put a divider in but I'm a little concerned that the box might be a little smaller than they like. I'll have to see what happens.<br />

UNTIL... she took it on the highway. Seems there is a vibration in the steering wheel, guess I'll be getting the tires balanced for that.<br />
Next up a good friend asked if I could help with his daughters car. Yes, I'll try. This is a fuel tank replacement and it needs to be done by Friday. Did a little research in the internet and figured I had a hand on it. Exhaust had to be disconnected from the muffler, pain in the ass, as it's all heated together and rusted. Got it undone (will need to replace the flange gaskets and bolts), tank unstrapped and all lines disconnected. Little of a wrestle but it's out and ready to transfer the "green" stuff over.<br />
Now come the part I hate the most, I break a part. Don't know what it is or what it's called or what it does. But luckly for me I have the internet and a number and find out that it's a Fuel Assy. Who would have know. What does it do? After some searching it seems to let the pump know when your tank is full (more of that "green" stuff). So now were waiting on the part as it's a dealer only item or internet buy.<br />
Looking to finish the job Friday if the part come in.<br />
If not the daughter will have to go back to University and be mobile through her legs.<br />
And through all this I've been taking pictures to show everyone and something happened to my memory card. It can't be read on the card reader or able to view the pictures on the camera, SUCKS, I had some good pictures of our snow, the dogs and the first signs of Spring around here.<br />

Every time I turn right it made a nice clicking grinding noise. I made it to work and back. Parked it and got my part. <br />
Luck for me I've already replace the passenger side so I knew what I was up against.<br />
Here's the old broken part...<br />

<br />
FAIL - this morning it was 16deg out and it didn't work, maybe the pump broke or the nozzles were frozen...<br />
<br />
Since our first snow (today), I found out that my windshield washer reservoir was empty (I did have enough to get home) and decided to create my own.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
How hard could that be? All I need is water, some sort of non-freezing agent, gallon jug and a cleaner.<br />
Here's what I came up with:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Cap goes on and a gentle rolling on the jug to mix it all up and let it rest for a while<br />

Just in-case the weather does get bad, as in snow, I'll be ready. I got this for my birthday. I love it because it is solar powered, battery powered or hand cranked. It has weather channels along with AM/FM, a flashlight and can be used to charge a multitude of cell phones and devices. <br />

The one I got was rated for 300deg and the one I needed, needed to be 333deg. Who would have thought that 33deg would make that much of a difference in a furnace. Any it burned up and I had to order one online.<br />

When I went to turn the light off I looked out the window and saw this...<br />

Now how did that happen? I checked the fencing and all looked good, so I recused her and off we went. Later in the day my daughter called and says the other dog was in the coop and all the chickens were gone except for the Rooster. She let the dog out and found the place in the fence that was broken. A quick repair was made till I got home the following day. We were missing two chicken, the rest had been saved and put back. Over the next few days only one we found alive and well in a bush. Still one unaccounted for.<br />
UPDATE: Last chicken found in neighbors bushes, spotted by their dog. She is home safe and sound. <br />
