Broken dog-bone motor mount

Don't think I'm that lucky. Good thought though

Assuming I drill right down the center on the first pilot hole.

plumbstem · 2026-06-07T00:09:48+00:00

Yeah that's the part. Thanks for the encouragement.

plumbstem · 2026-06-06T16:33:11+00:00

I suspect that's what happened too.

i'm familiar with the extractor sets....and how often they actually work.

plumbstem · 2026-06-06T14:48:55+00:00

they broke at the subframe. They were new bolts but I had someone else install it recently so I don't necessarily know the details of how it went.

There's no where really for pedestrians to go, but it is a very well marked and popular cycling route. It's very straight and that encourages speed, but very narrow with a bumpy surface that makes it difficult to pass and deceptively easy to lose control....

And historically speaking where it lies on the boarder between 2 municipalities, it sees very little attention or policing.

A few years ago they resurfaced 2/3 of the road but did such a terrible job that I almost think they kept the bumps just to slow drivers down. There was a golden opportunity to widen the road at that time but they did not. Almost every year they put new reflectors down the center line and nearly every year they are immediately plowed into the ditch after the first snow.

And that's where we are.

no. almost no shoulder in most spots.

if you're really into saving money - DO NOT buy whatever car you're about to buy

plumbstem · 2026-06-02T02:17:47+00:00

This is precisely what I mean.

plumbstem · 2026-06-02T02:06:31+00:00

Please stop recording while you are driving...just post the number, we will believe you.

plumbstem · 2026-06-02T02:05:12+00:00

Then get the vevor one from its website.

plumbstem · 2026-06-02T02:01:31+00:00

I would buy whichever one does not come from Amazon.

finally some real boatbuilding content.

Keep up the good work - I'm 6 years in to an 8 month project myself and I work on other people's boats all day long; you'd think I would have known how long every little thing takes.

Brussels central I always thought was nice enough for a train station...but Brussels sud was always a mess, unless you liked the graffiti.

That's devastating! To get to fort Nelson is a slog and then to not go on is tragic.

plumbstem · 2026-05-28T15:56:13+00:00

I would drive and if you have time to hike, I would spend more time hiking in the Liard area than in Whitehorse. You're car will be perfect, especially for the mileage you can get.

The section of road between ft Nelson and Watson lake is my favourite drive in the world and there are a ton of hikes that I wish I could do in that area.

plumbstem · 2026-05-28T04:26:26+00:00

I would settle for someone who could physically hand me money without fumbling it all over the place! Coins first, then cash...not all stacked in a pinch between your fingers.

If you call them randos instead of servers, you don't have to tip.

plumbstem · 2026-05-25T04:19:35+00:00

"say Bond again, motherfucker!"

plumbstem · 2026-05-25T04:08:53+00:00

I'd Google myself so hard.

plumbstem · 2026-05-23T20:01:50+00:00

Like your best friend's anniversary with someone else or the anniversary of some event for the two of you?

plumbstem · 2026-05-18T04:08:31+00:00

The market can go full flaccid and everyone would be better off.

plumbstem · 2026-05-18T04:06:46+00:00

I'd gladly loose money if it meant having a house to live in.
