Hat trick…

So its Sunday night, and I am thinking about work again. What prodded these dark thoughts? The weather again. Saturday was a good day as the sun was out, cold but the sun was definitely there. Today it has been raining, this stopped a fair bit of play on the car as the wind chill made it feel positively Siberian. But the hat trick this evening, it’s snowing! I couldn’t believe it. It had been locked in my own little world tweaking my blog and responding to a few emails that I had lost track of time. I hadn’t looked out the window, I hadn’t gotten out of my chair or moved from my screen.  At work you are supposedly to have a five minute break every hour from your screen. At home do we? Nope, not me. I was to busy preparing my next review or news on what I have been up to, the time flies by and I’m getting tired. Now I have realised the time, I started to get my stuff ready for work and look out the window, that’s when I noticed the snow is starting to settle. I dare say that the journey into work will be chaos, there will be idiots on the road who think that their 4×4’s are invincible. I have news for you people, the car you drive has rubber tyres like mine, if you hit ice you will skid, just like me. I’m starting to get stressed about it already. This is not a good sign. I need a holiday, a month after Christmas and it seems like half a year ago.

The car, this weekend I have taken the brake drum off and posted pics of that under the photos section, or you can click here. I have sorted out the man cave again as it was getting in a mess. To cold to use filler, to cold to spray and with the amount of rubbing down I have to do I can’t have the door shut with all the dust flying around. So a bit of a non event Sunday. I mentioned earlier I was doing a review, that was for a Snap On torch I have. You can find it under the Accessories section, or click here for the quick link.  I also put a real quick review of some soft jaws for my vice, that can be found under the Tools section by the Stanley vice, or click here.

Lets hope the weather improves here and also the USA gets over their bad weather too. Then we can all get on with doing what we like doing, in my case working on my car. The worlds climate has just mental, I just can’t remember it ever being this mad.

Thanks to everybody who has left comments this week on my blog, it really does make it all worth while to think that somebody has enjoyed a read with me. I appreciate it.

Bonus weekend

Well I have been tidying the man cave up and getting ideas in my head in order to review or comment on. The fenders were a tiny bit tacky but workable. Not sure if that is what Carplan Tetroseal mean by dry. I removed the shower curtain from under the fender and rolled it up.

Tip: If you are going to spray I use a shower curtain that are real cheap to buy and spray on that, the spray wont go through as its water proof!

I have added the review of the Ring Solar Battery maintenance charger here and another book not a manual this time; Mustangs 1964 1/2 – 1973 review here, or you can get them from the menus to the right. Take a look and leave a comment or put in a request. I have added another forum page to enable you to put requests in for things I could review, thats if I have them of course or will be getting them.

I will probably try to get the fenders on next weekend and get the front grill sections ready for rubbing down and filling.

Massive update to the web page!

It’s stupid o’clock when I sort of finished most of the updates!

Whats the update?

Well, it’s a brand new forum and discussion link to a new sister page for the One man and his Mustang (.com) website.

The link called “Forums & Discussions” is now at the top of the side bar on the right. There is also a hyperlink to bring you straight back here again too.

I was asked a question in the comments page but I didn’t have an answer. That gave me an idea – Forum. Simple hey? err no!

(stick with me for the quick techy explanation).

The fact I am using a nice piece of software to host my blog it does not allow me to add “plug-ins”. To keep it simple I can’t create  any forums or discussion pages directly of this site for security reasons. But, I have researched all day (while out shopping), and most of the evening for an answer. I think I have found a work around. Basically I have now a sister site that links to my main site (this one), the sister site page style does allow for a more recognisable forum style update and discussions. The styles are a little different but I have tried to keep the associations as close as possible to one another.

The downside –

You as in the readers of this won’t be allowed to create the pages yourself. To get round that I have created a category of “Ask for your topics here” from a nice drop down. This will allow you to post a comment on there for things you want to see or discuss. Once it’s (as your requested topic) has started up then can post to your heart’s content on it. I plan on letting these pages run themselves with the odd chip in from me! I am allowed!

The upside –

I get to keep an eye on what gets posted, there are some people out there with strange ideas.

Updates to this site –

For a little bit of a fun I have added a countdown timer on the main site, see what you think. I may keep it there for other things, it all depends on the feed back I get!

Added a picture to the side bar of the good guys at American Autowire who have linked me on their Facebook page with that response.

Note to self – get used to calling my sites main site and forum site!

Note to self again – go to bed and re-read this before you post it!

Enough Techy Stuff – Cars

I was out all yesterday – shopping, so I missed out on some valuable Mustang minutes. I made up for it today with the second coat of POR15 on the inside of the fender. No point in pics at this moment in time (I have taken some though) as it don’t really look that much different. The man cave was freezin’! Michelin man was out again in force, but at least I was warm. As I was good boy yesterday, shoppin’.  Today I was allowed to go and get my Christmas Present; Front and Rear bumpers from a new friend of mine. They are gonna look the dogs dangly bits when I bolt them on. While I was there I was looking all around his K code 1965 fastback. Nice!

As a result of the missed Mustang minutes yesterday I will have to review the Carplan Tetroseal next weekend.

Take a look around at the new forum site, start a conversation or tell me what you want to see. Have a look at the post Old School or New School from the categories selection drop down box, it’s a comparison of most of the Mustang models over the years, whats the best looking?? Let me and the rest of the internet know your favorite!

Sorry for the late posting but I had few bugs to sort out and give the best user experience posdible.
