Can't blame you on that one. Ford don't sell them anymore so I guess they are just gouging.

Why not? I just figured if any objection about the content could be eliminated, why wouldn't I? Kids shouldn't be doing this anyway right? Nobody who should be doing this would be affected by the age restriction in any way.
No biggie, just curious. I don't have (and don't want one) a YouTube account.
On a different note, have you bounced what you are doing off our expert Phillip? Not to say that you aren't doing it right but I would ask.

No, all of the pens are 0.5ml, with whatever dosage they want. The actual drug is very tiny, the amount of fluid is just to make it measurable and usable. It's just a solution, and the amount of solution is arbitrary. Some people reconstitute the dry powder with different amounts based on their dosage plan. It's irrelevant as long as you do the math on the ratio. I'm not sure how clear that is, but 99% of that fluid is inert.
So I've taken the 15mg per .5ml pen, and injected it into a new sterile vial, to which I had already added 1.0ml of bacteriostatic water. My total volume is now 1.5ml, with a 15mg dose. You can see my logic here right? Now I can measure out any amount, based on that easy power of ten. My dose rate is 2.5mg, so I measure out 25 units on a standard insulin syringe. I actually will have slightly more, because the pens never empty completely when you use them as an auto-injector, but I was able to empty it. It looks like it had .6ml (just eyeballing it). So I'm actually saving even more by extracting it all.
This video is long-ish, but mostly real time, me trying to figure out the pen and then how to mix it. You can skip around to see the parts that interest you. I'll be sharing this far and wide. I'm sure I will be on some kind of list.
Why is age restricted?

Thanks, but no hits for my truck. I’ll take the old one off and measure thickness. I suppose the only option for replacement will be to buy a new pad and use the old one as a template for shape and fastener positions.Why do you feel you need it on this old truck?

Keep us informed how this goes either good or bad. I'm sure life seems so much better when you feel well.

It sat around for a while. During the Sunday cleaning, I put the whole thing in the trash. Yes, that's right, two days before big brain idea time, I tossed the parts that would make it possible.

See, you didn't follow the rules and now you paid for it. 😄

Hey man, thanks for the squirt of water, but it tastes funky.
He was looking for the bench whiskey.

If I had a 25 year old pick-up, I think I would just remove whatever is left of the insulation pad, and not worry about. But that's me.
I 100% agree and have removed ones that were in good shape from a couple of Mustangs that I've had.

It's hard to find the line between hoarding and saving.
You have to keep it because you will need it someday. Man I'm ready for someday. 🙂

I have wasted way too much time trying to work that out.
Edit to add: Looks great.

I should re-arrange the shop based on new info and changed tools.
Bad. Every time I rearrange my tools, time goes by and I can't find the seldom used one that I need to complete what I'm working on.
I never thought of it until now, maybe it would be a good idea to take the time to shoot some pics of where things are so I don't keep buying the same tool that I already own and find as soon as I get the new one.

I'm sure that it is stored in a fire locker. 😉

I have wrangled with them a little. I store some wood in the shed that is also wood and found out one thing, they love some wood and won't touch others. Since the shed is away from the house I just nuked the crap out it and seemed to have worked. I give it a little more every now and then. I think I may have invited them, had wood stacked under tarp for camping for many years and they had a field day with it. That is all gone now.

The only thing I worry about when I had my carbs apart where the condition of the rubber diaphragms as they are pretty hard to find. They were good.

Was someone tripping over the little raise going onto the carpeted area?

That is 2wd. Just for clarity of what I was talking about, this is 4wd.

No front springs? I call bullshit.
Struts? I call bullshit again.
And I'm open to be corrected by both you guys because off hand I don't know what they're using and I'm feeling too lazy to search it. My guess is that the 4x4 uses torsion springs instead of coil springs and that both use shocks, not struts.
Yes torsion bars, I don't call them springs.

The front struts use coil springs. Since I see no issues with the front end, I shouldn’t need to replace the strut or replace the springs (which is possible in many vehicles).Oh I forgot you have a 2wd. In the 4wd there are no front springs.

Well, thankfully I should not need to do the front ones.
Well if your truck is like the Ranger, if doesn't have front springs.

Shipping was about $150.
That seems way too much. I just put in 2 springs but not the other stuff at Rock Auto and shipping was $57 but it's too late now I guess.

That photo brings a lot of questions. 50th anniversary edition? 1200? Does someone make mirrors with turn signals that perfectly replace the stockers?

Toyota will supposedly have a new small truck next year…similar to the Maverick. Good thing I’m in no rush….
You know you can get the Maverick with the 2.5 hybrid engine or the turbo for the same price starting at $22,595?

I have to admit, I have done many things with a circler saw that I shouldn't have.
