Is that in the Everglades? Very pretty office to work out of. Thanks for sharing.
Kinda but not really, the "wild" everglades is like South of 75 now unfortunately ....everything south of the lake used to be everglades, these projects are part of the "everglades restoration projects" to restore historical flow paths.

This isn't really that far out there, about 15mins from my actual office . The scenery def has a positive effect on my mood

That’s beautiful! Very similar to where I go bike riding by my house on lake apopkas north shore. You need a Baja truck
That's what I'm talking about

I watched a documentary on the Everglades and how they diverted the water and it screwed everything up. Are you part of the restoration efforts? I'm assuming so.

The army core of engineers has screwed with the sun shine state a lot. Google the Trans Florida barge canal
yea not just them, agriculture, developers... the proverbial damn finally busted everyone seemed to skirt away scot-free, they (the government, not everyone who got rich off destroying it) are pouring millions(has to be billions) into restoration now though.

theres a few good documentaries on it and really no one realized how delicate of an eco system it was and how it worked, by that time it was canaled out and dried up.

i'll take some pictures of some of the completed restoration projects next time im in there (couple times a week). they are almost indistinguishable from the native lands if not for the couple structures and levees within them. they are nice when completed

Smile? It's the blowhole that does it for me.
You need to read that article Randy posted, that’s the smile I’m talking about. Now that you know they gang **** females of their own breed, be assured that smile when they’re looking at a human isn’t because they’re thinking of snuggling up to you so you can violate their blow hole. It’s because they’re thinking of gang ****** your blow holes. Both of them. ;)

So a dude started making and selling these on PT.net so I bought one. He’s doing bow ties and really whatever else you want as well. Looks cool and you know I like shiny stuff.

You should have him do one with your "signature" on it:naughty:

But really, that's a pretty neat idea. Mine just has a rusty ol knob. I think @iamdub polished his knob...

You made me go look at mine since I was sure I addressed that. I have a black cond*m on mine. :rolleyes:

Then I noticed my lower radiator hose looks like shit so I’ll have to order one. Then I started looking at more options for the water pump and I’m still looking. There are options…

You need silicon hoses before water pump decorations

What’s your excuse? :D

BTW I just ordered this one…

Xmen themed
nice

my yukon still runs, still has ac. temp dropped considerably from the last few trips of 90*+(to low 70s) so pressures were way different but i did work fine. when r134 temp drops its pressure drops so im hoping thats the reason.

@pwtr02ss led bulbs arent much better for output than the halogens, but do look nice i dont drive much at dark in it so dont care much

I ordered the clear anodized at first but then reconsidered and asked the seller to make it black. Too bad it doesn’t come in red to keep with my theme.

Nice to hear about your good luck with the Yukon. Hope it stays that way, I know you’re tired of wrenching on it. Summer is almost over here so my AC won’t get much more use this year. Looks like we have temps of 80-85 next week and I’m pretty sure after that it will be low to mid 70’s. Fall is coming.
