Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

I just thought my Lula loader was good. I doubt you can beat the Lula for pistol mags though.

I've got one of these. More mag specific than Lula but it does lock the mag in.

I have been chasing an intermittent short in the electric brakes on one of my trailers. Sometimes it’s fine, sometimes it shows a “SH” code on the controller and brakes don’t actuate.

3 days I have been looking for it. I fixed several other little things I found but still had the problem. Started inside the drums. Measured the resistance in the magnets, was fine. Went ahead and packed all 4 bearings while I was in there. Adjusted shoes. Repaired a few places in the wiring I found that I knew wasn’t the problem but for posterity I fixed them.

Found the 7blade connector was a little corroded inside with some rust chunks rattling around in it. Maybe the rust was shorting the brake power, I mean it is on the bottom. Nope 🤨

Finally, I decided to just replace the blue brake wire front to back.

It runs down the driver side and then through the axle to the passenger side. Yep, I found it. Mid way through the axle the wire was melted through and just enough to short intermittently.

Who would think a wire riding in a steel tube protected from anything would short…. I guess when the trailer was manufactured, the wire was probably damaged pulling it through the axle and it took 20 years to finally arc through 🤯


Rules…

The grandson got the idea (from me 😂) that real country boys get mud on their bare feet periodically. Wife wasn’t amused.

Isn't that the proper way to exfoliate your feet?

Edit: that or barefoot on a beach.

Use of the word exfoliate by a dude makes me question a lotta things man.
Just aint right…..
🤣


I do say the word moisturize on occasion.
Then report it is best done with bacon grease or motor oil.
CLP works in a pinch and has a nice smell.
