Sure lou, i would like that

I've been gone for a bit! My phone got a virus and wiped out everything, (dang Chinese website) I lost all my apps and it took me a while to get things back. I bought a tablet and am going to sync it so this isnt the only access I have. Anyway, I'll catch up

Rharman, thank you, and an extra year is phenomenal! Hefe is under a vets care, and Im the elected medicine giver, he wont take anything that is offered to him, so it became my job. Kay is right when she said dogs dont live long enough. He hated me when he first got here, because he had been...

We went estate sale ing today. I got four for 60 bucks, theres a couple of little dingers on one, but nothing that cant be fixed. Thought they might look good on Pats Z71, if the backspacing isnt too far off. Found a bunch of small tools and consumables.

Thanks, he belongs to the granddaughter, but he has been in this house for ten years. He kind of grows on a guy!

I got started today with the pressure washer. I took the smoker apart and cleaned about an inch of smoke and grease off of it, I took everything out and vacuumed out the bottom and checked out the burner. I wanted it clean for this beautiful pork belly, it got **** rub. It was struggling, I...

Its been so hot that I have been taking it a little slower this week. I did swap the distributor in Pats Z71, and I replaced the ground cable and some brackets that were missing. Tried to start the truck to set the timing, but it dosnt crank. I haven't tried to start it since I changed the dash...

Thanks Prospector, he's a good man, just getting old, like the rest if us.

I forgot to post the pics of the tower hinge I made for a buddy! He is in his 80s and cant see well anymore, he had to sell his motor home because of his sight. So he decided he was going to get his ham license! He has a setup where he can winch the tower up and down, so I made him a hinge plate.

We got the shed empty, then I took my trailer to Remington's house. He said he had a bunch of barn lumber I could have. He is putting a new floor in his barn. His dad didnt get the memo, that I was supposed to get the lumber, he burnt almost half of it. Anyway, were going back tomorrow to help...

Terry, I kind of am, dont tell anyone! Lol. We have 30 trike frames to build, were supposed to start Wednesday. That will take care of the brake! manwithtools, thats about how its been here, its 11:30 pm now and it just started thundering, again! Mack, I sure wish you had some of this, I mowed...

Its been raining heavily here since last week, I haven't been doing anything. Its about to get boring!

I could use another truck

I blew a tire back in December I didnt need the trailer, and I didnt need people borrowing the trailer, so I let it sit. A buddy of mine is replacing the floor in a 100 year old barn and wanted to know if I wanted the lumber that he is taking out. So I sand blasted and painted the wheels, and...

Doing the bodywork on Pat's Hoosier cabinet! I filled all of the old hinge holes, the dents and boboos with regular automotive body filler. It sands ok and will hold an edge on a corner, where wood filler will fail. While that is setting up I sanded some on the inside. My son is coming to town...
