Post a picture you took today

Me being on vacation has really screwed up my sleep schedule. Because of my FUBAR sleep schedule, I wake up late and lounge around and don't get started on this until like 2pm 😅. So I run out of daylight, gets super cold (relative to me & SoCal) and can't continue for the day. So here I am, with this stuff not yet done and heading into day 3 on this project. This should get done tomorrow, lol

4 days is what this project took me to complete. Gawd damn I'm slow, lol. Again, FUBAR sleep schedule hasn't helped me any. This setup is now working better than what I had previously. All this is now wired up and programmed to turn on at 5am every other day across all 4 areas.

The next phases of this will be to repair the broken sprinklers (3) I found and then figuring out how to best treat the soil for some actual grass. I've let my lawn go as this has been inoperable for the last 6-ish years.

Anyway, some before (repost) and after pics (new).

Chamfer the PVC ends to create a pocket for the glue and prevent wiping it completely out of the socket into the fitting.

Primer is not necessary for red hot.

You can put water on red hot after 10 minutes; it doesn't need hours to cure.

I'm just now reading this, lol. I didn't use red, I used blue. It came in a dual-box package, so I used it as intended. I expected to have some left over, but as you can see on my paint pan in my previous post, I made a mess of everything and used up quite a bit of the stuff. The entire blue bottle is used up. I still have about 1/2 of the purple primer stuff.
 
That looks like a box of stuff I got from dirtydog.
i got a set of 93 dohc heads,that I sent to Oscar for header mockups, and a huge box of bolts, and two tc's. One tc was in the tbird when I found the 3-4 127.5mph upshift bug. It trashed the trans so fast, I couldn't let off fast enough,lol, The other tc is in the red car.
 
My boy (10) is entering into his school's science project show. He wanted to build a gearbox and explain how the gears work.

In another iteration of this, he was attempting to build a gearbox to select the different gears instead of having them all spin at the same time. He quickly realized it would add levels of complexity and missing parts needed to make it happen, so this is what he came up with.
