Waiting to see the slot machine finished up. It was about 16 years ago after I had just got married my father in law had 7 0r 8 old slots in storage at my wife's house that he said I could have since he had moved to Alaska and they were in south Georgia. A few weeks later he came to town to...

Listen to the doctors and Ann and take it easy and let the thing heel right. Don't be a DA like me and push it to soon cause it will never be right again. Just speaking from experience.

Showing all of those vintage American made products will get you in trouble with China.

I guess he is trying to find the needle in the haystack. He has just about found everything else.

I design commercial plumbing systems as my day job. I have done similar exterior systems that have been installed in middle Georgia that have had no issues when properly installed. I have seen several systems installed on the Georgia Florida line that have frozen and ruptured. Some of the...

Don, The spark plug tester is the best. It turned out great. Now the dodge grill shell is really solid. It would work good on the 36, 37 dodge truck cab which I am working on building a roadster pickup. The roof was past being trash. I thought of you a few weeks ago when we went through the...

Madmax, I went threw the same thing. My slab is 4000 PSI with fiber and there is a 15" x 6' area that the 2 post sits on that the concrete is 12" thick. Yes it cost more but I do not worry about any slab failures when I am standing under a car on the lift. Just to add there is a new car...

Don, Those are some nice finds. The old Lincoln welder brings back some good memories. My daddy taught me to weld on one like that when I was 12 or 13 some 45 plus years ago. John (Bopbop)

I would recommend putting in a septic system with a drain field as oppose to just a holding tank. My profession is a plumbing engineer design commercial buildings. In the Hospital emergency departments they are typically required to have a decontamination room where they rise off acids, fuel...

At car shows I am the odd ball. I will put the kid in MY car so he can get a picture but tell him not to touch the other cars. I guess it comes from having 3 grandsons saying all the time "Bopbop it's my car" and just being a sucker for kids. Now the 30 year old woman that comes up and takes...

Don, Did you happen to go by the Coker tire museum or the tow truck Museum while you were in Chattanooga?

DPG, It makes me think of an old plumbing contractor I know. He is 82 years old and working everyday. Everybody always says that there is the right way the wrong way and JH's way which is to take the right way and improve on it. You should see some of his projects. Yesterday he gave me a 52...

Don, I like the Blawkhawk cabinet. I have a few of my daddies' old blackhawk wrenches.

Don, Those are some nice projects. Look forward to seeing them be restored. I liked the Wilton vise post. I have the same one which i use all the time.

I see you are in Perry. Been there several times to the swap meet. The guy that did my building is out of Sylvania georgia. He does buildings in Ga, SC, Florida. He does smaller buildings mainly 60foot wide or less and agricultural buildings. He does a really nice job and the price was only...
