Anyone else out there into diesel?

This is my truck, a 1985 Ford F350 with a 6.9 Diesel. Mostly stock except for the following:

Gear Vendors Overdrive

Hypermax Turbo (50% more power. no lie on this)

Step Plates

Here's a photo of the truck shortly after I bought it (yes that's me)

Currently awaiting new injectors, a injection pump and tires. Hope to then haul him back to the outskirts of Amaragosa and do a fursuit photo shoot at a old (2000 or so when it closed) gas station with diesel pumps. What I wouldn't give to suck those tanks down if they didn't have algae in em/no fuel! (my truck, like all pre LSD/ULSD trucks prefers high sulfur diesel fuel)

Ford/IH Diesels are my favorite in particular, but I do have a soft spot for the ear splitting din of detroit diesels also. If it has diesel, i'm probably somewhere around it!

For a while, I did repair work for a dog rescues ex school bus (1994) as seen here:

Since the photos so far are just of me posing, here are some actual working photos, the one above was taken after this:

This was changing the oil and replacing a fuel/water seperator filter on the bus. It's a 6.5 NA (Naturally Aspirated, aka no turbo)

Sadly it's stranded in a amargosa repair shop currently, developed some engine problems and I don't have the time/money to take a crack at it myself. Heaven knows if a storage bill is being run up!

So chime in! Love diesels? Repair em? I await your reply!

I've always really liked all things furry (it stemmed from my love of beani babies as a kid). I want to get into fan art, can you reccomend some good artists.

Thanks,

Thank you to Julian Bynoe, who wedged this illustration in between his current portfolio kickstarter and his several web projects. Good luck, Julian! Cropped from original for image ratio.

Furfunding Week in Review 12-8-13

A bit of a slow week in furry crowdfunding this time around, with a few gems coming in on Saturday and Sunday–in particular, Rizzo Michelle’s art doll ponies, and Zodion, a sci-fantasy reimagining of the Zodiac.

To fill the aching void left by sudden appearances of wolf-people on Offbeatr, the staff at Furstarter spent some time fleshing out a Resource page, with suggestions for new crowdfunding campaigns and “unbiased” (hah) comparisons of the various crowdfunding platforms. Hope someone finds these useful, and feedback is appreciated!

Maybe I'm just having horrible luck, but Amazon and even Google aren't showing the results I want. Where on earth can I find those big jinglebell-type bells that clip onto collars that I've seen for neko girl cosplay? I have one as a keychain, and one of my friends wants one for Christmas, and as I cannot spawn the vendors' hall at Anime Expo into existence on a mere whim, I desperately need your help!

It doesn't matter if you joined in 2012 or in 1992, I'm curious what changes you've noticed. If possible, focus on the positive!

For me, I joined in the mid 90s. Obviously it's bigger, there's less of a 'small community' feel where everyone knows everyone, and I've noticed that regional communities have taken on their own local customs and opinions on what the fandom 'is' where it used to seem that no matter where you lived most people had a similar idea of what being furry is.

Also...I get that for many it's a hobby and that there is no 'community.' Your opinion matters too, but I'm mostly curious about those who consider furry a big part of their lives.

One more interesting thing I noticed. Many of the 'growing pains' (cliques, drama, importance of art or fursuiting, etc.) seem similar whether it's new to the area or old. ie. many of the things that happened in my local community I saw happening in Brazil when I visited furs there, only I first saw them in the 90s, and the relatively young community in Brazil experienced them in the 2010s

TL:DR - I find the changes people see over their time in the fandom interesting and am curious what people have noticed themselves since they joined.

Okay, I'll start this off by saying this isn't really related to furry, so please ignore and move on if you don't care. The mods will probably hide this for the same reason, but I only really have 2-3 days to finish this.

So, story goes like this, my dad buys things for himself because he sees a new shiny thing he likes (Which in this story is an iPad air) and he uses it. Turns out, he doesn't want it and passes it to my mother, who has never asked for it, and even specified that the iPad air would be only for him and him only(because she knows that he does stupid shit like this.) My dad is now furious for some reason after a trip with my grandmother and my mother, and is now requesting(ordering) my mother to sell of the iPad air. And fast. My dad always likes to buy and sell things and cause huge losses to our family and then blames it on us(Mother, Me, Brother.) And we can't talk back to him because he's well, father.

My mom only knows one person she can sell it off to, but she'll be making a huge loss of $600. So i'm coming to you, /r/furry (because I'll probably get ignored and screwed over in other, bigger subreddits) to ask if any of you would like to purchase a one month old iPad air, 16GB, Wi-fi Cellular, painted black for about $800. It has a Leather Casing costing $118. Shipping will be the buyer's side to pay, and the pricing will be told through Private Messages. We'ld obviously still be making a loss of $200+, but at least it won't be as crazy as $600.

$ = SGD, not USD, sorry.

(No, this isn't life and death horrible help needed, which is why i stated the title as slight help needed. I don't need comments telling me that my situation isn't as bad as their life.)

TL;DR: Shopaholic dad buys and sells shit, ruins family funding, blames it on us. Currently selling an iPad air with Wi-fi, 16GB storage and is painted black for $800, comes with a leather casing($118). Shipping is paid by buyer, will discuss shipping prices in PM.
