Jared's Garage: May 2010
http://jaredsgarage.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 10, 2010. New Clutch on Honda Shadow. So the clutch on my motorcycle has been slipping lately. Usually just when shifting gears but occasionally when accelerating hard it would start slipping around 3k rpm. I've been in it before trying to fix it without luck. It had a new clutch spring, all the friction plates and disks measured well within spec. Tried different oils, checked to make sure my one way clutch was in right. Nothing, still slipped. After talking to Roy on the phone he suggested g...

Jared's Garage: January 2010

Tuesday, January 12, 2010. 2009 Elk Hunt in 6B. All ready for the hunt, permit and license in hand, gun ready and excited for the hunt! We started hunting near Secret Mountain, getting the binoculars and glassing what we could see. Pretty thick country. During a hike to a glassing spot we saw this steel box chained to an oak tree. Not sure what it was for, would have been a brutal hike to get it in to where we were at. We saw a lot of sign from earlier in the hunt but nothing since the snow that had melt...

Jared's Garage: March 2010
http://jaredsgarage.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 31, 2010. I had a lot to learn, as usual. The reason the mower was so easy to push on the driveway was that the reel wasn't making contact with the cutter bar. Skip this section if you don't want to be bored to tears about how I sharpened my mower. Now that the sharpening is complete you'll need to clean off the valve lapping compound. I used some WD40 on a rag to clean it off, but pick your poison. You could probably get away with hosing it off if you can dry it off afterward. Also, if ...

Jared's Garage: November 2012
http://jaredsgarage.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 29, 2012. Unit 10 Elk Hunt in 2004. Right in front of us around 150 yards were a bunch of them. We didn't have a clear shot at the herd bull so we stood absolutely motionless for half an hour! That was the longest half an hour of my life! The biggest movements made was shifting weight from one foot to another. I was so excited! This is only my second elk, and a heck of a lot bigger than the first! That'll get your attention when you're half awake walking. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Jared's Garage: Frankenstein Neck Electrical Studs
http://jaredsgarage.blogspot.com/2010/10/frankenstein-neck-electrical-studs.html
Sunday, October 31, 2010. Frankenstein Neck Electrical Studs. So this year Kayla decided she wanted to be Frankenstein's Monster's bride. She picked out the hair and used one of her dresses, and while the bride doesn't have the neck studs in the movies, I thought it would be a nice tough to make it more easily recognizable. I started out with a scrap of leather, 1/2" PVC end caps, some chrome paint and super glue. I painted the end caps and had Kayla blow dry them as we were in a hurry.

Jared's Garage: August 2010

Sunday, August 15, 2010. Ooga Horn on Motorcycle. Painted it all black with some cheap Krylon. And a video of it in action. The horn was too loud for the mic on the video camera, so it doesn't sound very true to life, but just as the horn starts making noise you can get an idea:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Jared's Garage: April 2009
http://jaredsgarage.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2009. So someone at work got it in my head that I needed to make some outdoor furniture, the plan was to make 6 chairs, 2 for each of 3 of us. After looking over a bunch of chairs and reviewing several online sets of plans, I decided to go with Norm Abram's plans ( available here. From the New Yankee Workshop. Narasimhan is cutting the arm rest supports on the scroll saw, does my renter's insurance cover personal liability suits? This was my breaking point for the day. After cuttin...

Thursday, April 22, 2010. So if you're a craigslist addict, this might make things worse (if you're a firefox user). After using CraigsToolbox before they were commercial I got hooked on having images show up under the ads. I found some decent image preview plugins for Greasemonkey for firefox, but they just didn't have the smooth flow I was looking for.so I did what anyone would do, fork the source and modify what was there to fit what I wanted:. Craigslist Image Preview 2.1. Friday, April 2, 2010.

Jared's Garage: February 2010
http://jaredsgarage.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 17, 2010. So this post has been a while coming. Last Feburary (Feb 09) I was lucky enough to be invited to the NHRA National event at Firebird Raceway by SuperComp Dragster driver Roy Stickler and his wife Kerry. It was amazing, the first dragster I've been to, where had it been all my life? The loud roaring engines, grease, gasoline, alcohol, top that off with an RV stocked full of soda and smoked meats and what could be better? Roy and Kerry are due with their first son so Roy is go...
