My latest Adventure, update 7/11/21

Is a small building, I would say 20x15. I think the previous owners used it for keeping some animals or feed or such. The front is only about 6' tall more of a shed than real "building".


The other with the fence around is/was a dog kennel with 5 completely separate runs with inside and outside access, actually was pretty not bad originally.

Must have been a dog ******* living there. Holy crap can’t say b r e e d e r here. Wtf?

They had several small animals at one point. Not sure if they had a puppy farm or not.

Yo big dog awesome stuff! You magnet fish from a boat I assume? I have to try that. I love running excavators! They are so fun!

nope so far just boat launches (the docks at them when possible), and public access to lakes and rivers so far. although we have a buddy with a boat and some magnets and we have talked about doing some with them .

most of the good stuff so far has come from a spot where an old bridge collapsed and the road is closed, the river near a dam (so far just down stream of it, although we are looking to do some "behind" where the dam was/is). where we found the other magnet and flag was at the public boat launch in the channel that heads out to lake michigan.


i am quite looking forward to trying the machines ( good chance at the bobcat in the pic as well as the dozer he has, and if i snag my cdl probably do some hauling/loading for him also.

not saying that i dont, i just try to stay out of politics esp on a car page. personally i dont like any of them as i think they are all corrupt, just some worse than others.

i am also of a mind that the only reason we are a red/blue two party system is because people are to afraid and stuck on themselves to vote outside the box. i want them to not be a piece of $hit, not dedicated to a color or party.

so got some more things done. changed the valve cover on the astra, mostly as the pcv is in the cover much like our trucks and this thing has been using oil and leaving the occasional cloud.










pretty easy job. didnt look too bad inside, a little buildup, but nothing i am going to get to bent out of shape over. best part is it dont seem to be smoking anymore, and so far the oil consumption is at a minimum drastically reduced.












also decided to take a look at the third brake light as it has been out as long as we have had it and it gives a warning every time.





found some very bad connection at the board, and the printed was peeling off, so basically it is junk.
