Nice Nova and garage. Bummer about the stumble and tumble. Hope you're soon fully healed. Got more pics of that Nova?
Thank! I would have to dig around and see. Hoping I can get done with it this week as this 3 month project turned into a 6 month and still haven't even installed the overdrive yet....lol. All is good except for the knee still can't take a knee on it....Got some pics of the Nova...

I was on a ladder installing cabinets in a friend's new pole barn shop in OK. Had to scalp a couple of posts to get the cabinets to sit plumb.. His only
Sawzall blade was dull, it got so hot it started smoking so I set it aside, then promptly set my arm down on top of it reaching for a chisel...perfect imprint of the Sawzall blade on my right forearm...
Didn't notice it right away did you?
I was using the blower on the driveway right outside the detached garage one day. It's a big area so I was going up and down the apron to clear it of grass clippings. When I got back to the garage I notice a bolt laying on the ground. Right outside of one of the garage doors. Obviously that concerned me - so I picked it up to determine which vehicle it came off of and where it goes (like it would be obvious to me).
Turns out it was one of the bolts holding the muffler on the blower. Which had been running for quite some time and had just fallen off.
Funny how for a few short seconds everything is fine and then your fingers have blisters on them.

Ah shoot it finally happened, I forgot the drain plug while changing oil on one of our tech’s trucks today. Luckily I remembered before I poured the whole jug in, in fact I think I only lost half a liter.
And while this is the only time I’ve done that in over ten years of oil changes, I’m a little disappointed in myself. 😂
I did this a little while back with a full 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid on my skid steer. Was getting late and I decided to leave the plug out and let it drain completely overnight. Came out the next morning and started filling it, not noticing it all dumping out the bottom until I reached for the second 5 gallon bucket.
