Unless it’s a pet . I doubt any would have much luck… It would be very difficult to even sneak up on a farm cow.. much less catch it napping to trip it..

My brother got the luxury of the first burnout. It was just a stop and nail it. No braking. I think he got a little nervous when the creek started to show up and he let off. Rookie. I’ll bet my neighbors didn’t appreciate it though, it was on the shared part of the driveway. They never said anything. Lol.

Sigh..............I will only get to do "One Legged" burnouts for a while as I only have the stock 8.2.  I think I am going to try something.  I'm building my sbc 383 back together that I pulled out of my old 71 Nova.  I'm going through the shortblock and building some new heads for it Aluminum 200cc 2.02/1.6 valves, nothing too radical but a healthy 400-450 hp 383. I am going to see if my 8.2 will hold up with welding the axle tubes to the housing, maybe bracing the tubes and housing a bit and putting in a 3 series posi carrier with say 3.31 gears and adding a girdle and see if she will stand up with those modifications.  If it goes, I'll go 12 bolt or 9" or Dana, (thinking Moser or Strange) but I think the ol' 8.2 will take it as long as I'm not drag racing it every weekend and just occasional street madness.

Utube said nothing about a spring on the opposite side of the roller from the motor. Found out the hard way.

Replacing motorized camper awning. Was more of an effort than google said. But, it’s done. Looks like a nice camping 🏕️ spot there Steve.. in the pines 🌲.. enjoy your long weekend!. Rain free hopefully.

Well somewhere in the beginning of this topic ( I didn’t look) was my deck project. I sanded the whole thing a couple weeks ago but it has been too rainy to stain. I got a day and a half window before the rain comes. That’s a big one off the honey do list.

The staining part really wasn’t bad, the sanding part really sucked. I did notice a couple more rotted boards but they can wait. I ran out of stain. Lol.

I spent the afternoon removing old fence posts and spreading gravel. To be clear my buddy is operating the machinery and I'm the manual labor 🤣
