Mopar1973Man.Com Weather Tower (KIDNEWME29)

Mopar1973Man.Com Weather Tower (KIDNEWME29) Mopar1973Man.Com now has a public weather tower up in my yard. Being where I live the closest weather tower is at different elevations compared to me. Here in the Pinehurst area, you are about 2,800 feet above sea level. Then McCall is just over 5,000 feet in elevation at the airport and about 35 miles south of me. The next tower is down in Slate Creek and its over 1,000 feet below and 45 miles north. Then looking at NOAA weather the radar can't quite

Ziply Fiber finally!

Since May 29, 2025, at 6 am, my yard has been a dirt pile with the remains of my shop and guest scattered across my yard. I ran into a Ziply Fiber staffer parked in Riggins, Idaho, and figured I'd try again to get someone to finally come out and fix the line that has been off the poles since. I informed the tech that this has been reported many times to Ziply Customer Service and nothing has been done. Today, I started seeing trucks pulling up into my neighbor's driveway and into our driveway

Titanium aka Mopar1973Man one and the same

You might have all seen the change in my avatar to red hair. I've now past 2 years of daily makeup work when I leave the house. People still have issues understanding why? Do you all understand I've been a greasy mechanic since I was 14 years old? Yup, my life began with a desire to acquire tools and fix things as early as 14. So, for my life to change while having bladder cancer, I couldn't return to working on trucks in a commercial capacity. Even today, it pulls me down when I see a problem w

Christmas Holiday Blues / Happy Birthday Titanium

A lot of you don't understand why the makeup. I'll admit I fell apart last night; it's Christmas / New Year's again. Both of my bladder cancers came for Christmas. What most people don't get is the fact that what I love to do is out of my reach. Let's roll back the clock and understand that as a kid at the 14 years old I was gifted a socket set (Craftsman) and fell in love with mechanical things. I was building go-karts and mini-bikes with friends. I was fixing lawn mowers and small single-cylin

Makeup artistry

Now, to speak up on another fact. Just because I've changed my appearance with makeup and hair, it typically doesn't make me less knowledgeable. My typical day is that if I'm planning on going to town, I'll always do my makeup work before I leave. I was referred by a local repair shop in McCall (Sharlies Auto Repair) to a Cummins owner for tuning his Quadzilla. Even on a day like that, I was dressed up and rolled to this client's house to chat with him about tuning and getting his truck ready fo

Titanium Live on TikTok

Today I was stuck inside the house being its raining here in Idaho. While the mornings are cold here, I was checking back on a few videos near Christmas time. Sadly, I saw a few artists who were having a rough start to getting the Goth/Emo/Alt makeup. Either being laughed at or just treated poorly by people on the streets or at school. I'm going on 3 years of makeup artistry that I've self-taught. @Tweety Bird asked me to get the new weather station set up and working. I needed a 4x4x12 to get i

Fire in the Eyes

This is one of my first attempts at blending many colors evenly. This case told me she was going to wear green. Christmas colors, so I went to the wild side and took the fire-red wig and makeup to boot. I've been watching several makeup artists explain how they blend colors. Now, I'm combining the artwork I currently do with the tapered color down each side of my nose and outward toward the outside of my eyebrows. Since getting her eye surgery and correcting her vision, that is a huge blessing a

Titanium story continues

Titanium's story continues in public. I've got followers all over the place. At Starbucks coffee in McCall, the two gals who work there started to ask questions about my appearance with my colored wigs and makeup. When I was done explaining the story of my cancer, they both were impressed with my ideas of heading towards a Goth/Emo/Alt appearance. While I was still in the Albertson store, which has Save-On Drugs and the Starbucks coffee, two kids stopped me to tell me they loved my hair color. C

Beast gets a new radiator!

Finally, I'm getting back to doing things with the trucks. Beast has been rolling on a blown radiator for 2 years with a 200℉ with zero pressure. Yeah, I bought time (too much) and just clipped off the vacuum breaker part of the radiator cap. Now I'm getting the radiator installed in Beast and have a 16 PSI pressure once again. First off I gotta show off my mini shop for now so I can keep our vehicles in working order. It's tiny but its dry space somewhat. We are still sorting out stuff and get

Mr. And Mrs. Michael S. Nelson has occured!

Hey Gang, Great News! @Tweety Bird and I just got married yesterday! (November 25th, 2025) We both opted to get the legal stuff done now so we can work as a team. Our full ceremony will be July 2026. I have to say, "We had to go through our 'Hell' to find 'Heaven' together." Our actual ceremony will be at 'Heaven Gate' in the Seven Devils' Mountain Range in July, hopefully the road will be passable by then. Suzanna and I met in a waiting room in the Portico West building in Meridian, Idaho. Suz

Starting Over

Ever since the landslide that wiped out my shop, displaced my good friend Mark Hall and his dog Hachi into my basement bedroom. It's been complete hell trying to find tools that remain and attempting to repair vehicles and house repairs, too. It's been a bad summer, and it just seems to get worse here at home, and frustrating. Winter is coming, and snow is not far away now. Just want to close this chapter and attempt a better start in the spring of the year. The last few months have been a pain

Titanium getting ready for Halloween

I'm still experimenting with makeup artistry. Been more focused on the dirt work in the yard, but there are a few days I was messing around. @Tweety Bird wanted to see a few new colors of hair for me. How about fire red? Then I've even been to a funeral for one of my friends, I was dressed in full black and black makeup. The fire red hair, I really enjoy wearing when you get comments about being seen all the way across the store, like Walmart. I love to dress up and interact with the public. The

Driveway is finally clear and we can access the house normally!

Yeah I'm finally getting this cleaned up and can focus on getting my driveway back. As of right now the driveway is rough but accessible for vehicles to the front door. After I clean up the trash pile we will have parking area for all the vehicles here on the property. I'm racing against winter time to make sure I can keep my driveway cleared and open. The videos are while I was digging for the shop stuff and Mark personal stuff, if I got lucky but most everything in the house and shop was

Down and Out

Man, when it rains, it pours. Last Thursday, there was an internet issue beyond my reach. What would happen is try to access Mopar1973Man.Com website, the site wouldn't respond at all. Making matters worse that I attempt to reach the hosting company, and the same thing happens. No response at all. Yeah, panic sets in for a bit, but after making a call to the sales team, they clearly could see the server was running, and pages were loading normally. My problem was just after the ground station of

Landslide updates

Lot of you might be a bit upset with me not being available at the drop of a hat. Sorry! Since May 29th, my life has been turned upside down, and been dealing with all kinds of issues. For example, I had a brake malfunction on Beast and was attempting to fix the issue with limited tools, royal pain in the tail. Thor has an issue right now with the injectors (again) and is short on time and short on tools to really dig into this. I've had some luck and got another family involved, and was willing

First, I have to say, "If it weren't for bad luck, I wouldn't have any luck at all!" I've just had a series of things go wrong. First off, we are down to a single laptop for doing website work. I lost my old yellow box computer it finally died after 20 years of service. The old AMD CPU, the video software is no longer supported by Ubuntu. Just too old. Now my @MoparMom computer was our house server for the video cameras and storing the backups. This machine died with hard drives. Again 20 year

September Update

Some of you might think we are not around. Truth is, we are still working on cleaning up the shop mudslide disaster. Currently, we are down on vehicles, being that Beast just lost a starter, Thor had a random injector failure right at the time of the mudslide. Most of my tools and shop stuff are still buried in the yard. @Tweety Bird is trying to fill my shoes on the website by handling administrative duties. I'm working with the locals here to attempt to get use of a small track hoe and hoping

Meet Stormy Rose.

This was so awesome. I ran into a older couple that shared photos of their son and all the stellar comments. Their son did the whole punk theme, mohawk hair, and in blue green color. Checked out of the store with our groceries to run into Stormy Rose, she is a young artist who started her own version of Goth makeup, very impressive artwork for even her age, super cool interaction.

Oh my Redis and other things!

I've been working on improving the server's performance over the last few days. I've done some memory management with the Apache server and PHP compiler. The CLS issue should come to a close very, very soon. I've been testing the code every night to ensure it's working properly. The page shouldn't jump much at all now. I've got Redis Cache loaded up to see if I can gain a bit more speed or use less time to paint a webpage for members using mobile phones. I've gotta give it some time for the cac
