I assume that many members here are doing lots of small, but interesting things throughout the days.
While those things might not warrant a 1000 page thread I thought it would be fun to have a thread that people could post the small things.
Be it a job done on a bike, or car, or just something fun you did.

Me?
I took the CB1100F for a state inspection.
Also waxed it, adjusted the timing chain, and a few small squawks that it had.





What did you guys do over the weekend?

I went for a nice long ride in the country with my wife.
She just got her motorcycle license, so she was on the old cb350, and I was on my Guzzi.
We rode over 200 miles into the mountains of East TN and back home.
I'm glad she had such a great time. :)

P.s., This thread was a good idea! The jeep and vw forums I'm on all have something similar.

Been getting an "8F" code from my peake obd2 scanner for my e39. ECU/DME has a multi-speed fan module that either gets corrosion at the plug, or doesn't work at a certain speed setting. Gotta get to it, clean the contacts and hope I don't have to replace it. Gonna need new tires and suspension refresh. Not lookin forward to that...

Buckets - more pics of the Westy!
I've posted some here before, its a work in progress. obviously needs to be painted back to the original. I'm not doing a showcar but a useable, campable bus. Last spring I pulled the engine and tranny to do seals, shift rod, bushings, gas tank and lines.

Finishing the 4.3 V6 I/O install and the rigging of this turd that I started 20+ years ago, which means I'm spending the day searching for nuts, bolts, clevis pins etc. Running a new harness, steering system, engine controls, gauges etc etc. all the time wondering why....

Figured I add this for the Dodge truck fans on this thread. Bought this about 12 years ago from an estate sale. Love this thing and it just keeps on going. When I first got it, it was missing about half of it's horsepower, but a new timing chain brought it back to life. Other than that it's been bullet proof.
