A day in the life in the North

[Stumpy]

we havent seen your "dewalt mintmaster" yet.

Don't you worry you old coffin dodger. Based on your knowledge, there is a chainsaw for everything.

Beauty morning and we are setting up the decorations for the New Year party. I am enjoying setting up decorations with my BIL and both my nieces. Wife and SIL in kitchen with Aunty working on the food. More people arriving soon.

Great times and family fun.

i refuse to respond to your infantile bs here on this thread. neither the time nor the place.

Yet you quite happily get a not so subtle dig at my wife's health issue whenever it suits YOU.

Looks like a great night. And nary a bottle Lao kao around

[helge]

Looks fantastic

Have you ever asked them , if they would prefer to sit on the floor dining ?

All good to you and yours...now that you have decided to flounce.

(let's say that you are taking a break, which is more than understandable)


Should you miss me, then do come back.

Happy new year, Stumpy

Also use their hands instead of cutlery.


Only messing Stumps.

Well Christmas gifts arrived. Working with a buddy in BKK, he received the my bead lock wheels and taller tires for my ATV. He will get them mounted up and balanced and shipped my way. I have a clutch kit coming with a colleague in a few weeks, then an ECU tune and I will go off and have even more fun.

There's no reason why he needs any of this. Is he entering the Baja 1000 ?

Why do you need driving shoes?

Most sportscars have a small foot box and it can be dangerous getting big shoes jammed up in the pedals when you're coming into a corner and relying on engine and friction braking at an exact moment

Well took a week off as I was crazy busy with setting up a new business. I am opening up a Chainsaw business. I figured with the perceived 20 I have, I can use more and why not be a distributor and educate some that have no idea what they are. I will offer sharpening tips, show proper handling, etc. Stay tuned.

Closing out the New Year eat-fest.

New Years day was more eating and drinking.





We ordered 6 Seven colored Lobsters sent alive.



We had to steam them in a 2 layer steamer my aunt brought over. we steamed them to almost done.



On to the grill they went. They were so big I had to rotate them in and off the grill to cook them all.



My plate. I did a little beef tenderloin, had some drawn butter with garlic and a few beers.

I want everyone to know these are low cholesterol lobsters.

^ Happy New Year Stumpy!

I'm glad you're back... there's a Skimmer Box thread that needs your attention.

Edit: Great minds think alike, Mike!

Well, my mind anyway. You were just lucky.

[Topper]

Fuck me, those look perfect....very well done sir!

did you drop it on the grass

[bsnub]

Fucking looks amazing. A few trolls that I refer to as the circle jerk club on here will be scurrying off like rats out of their DH threads who were cheering on your "flounce".

I see Backtard is still being backtard. Has no clue about my riding habits, the terrain you ride on here in the jungle.

1. Yes Backtard Beadlock wheels around these parts are really nice feature. I smacked quite a few large rocks down in Tak and was close to knocking the bead off the factory wheels. The last thing you want to do out here is break a bead, especially when you ride alone or with a buddy. Its not like your area where you call a tow truck and they come get you. Here you are on your own.
2. Also....to educate you, the factory tires are 1 ply and are prone to punctures from bamboo and areas and paths that were cleared by locals who cut everything to about 2" off the ground and cut at angle so its like a dagger. You don't have Bamboo where you live.
3. Also ground clearance is also important. I already tore up the skidplate underneath sailing over large rocks. The taller tires and larger wheels gives you added clearance.
4. The clutch kit is installed to compensate for the taller tires and ones riding habit. I ride hard and the CVT belt will not hold up well under heavy riding at higher speeds. The clutch kit takes out the linear primary spring and adds a progressive one and the Helix in the secondary has a lighter spring and clocks so the the ramp off throttle to power is much faster versus the factory one which can lag a bit.

Out here people do not ride in "parks" in controlled cleaned paths going 25 mph and roads like where you live.

Stick with F1, you know little about much else. Hey...should one counter steer on an ATV.....

[Stumpy]

Still enjoying beautiful cool mornings. Love going down before sunrise and sit with the hounds playing fetch as it rises.

Cheers and Happy New Year to you all.

He posted that after he thought you had "flounced"

Stick with F1, you know little about much else.

Do not encourage him he is fucking utterly clueless about that as well.
