I feel for ya! My little shop that was my dream may be going away. Discovered that the house is broken. Foundations is badly cracked, plumbing problems and massive termites had me move to the second house about a mile away. A new huge school built to the north took advantage of right of ways on...

I think I did it! New phone and old brain sometimes leads to lost pictures. Sorry pic is not under a tree, but this year was remote, other parents or inlaws and me trying to be everywhere. Glass shades were immediately claimed by SWMBO to replace "those dang ugly green things". Almost lost the...

I finally got home after distant family stuff and found my GJSS gift right where my brother left it (and an envelope too). Pictures tomorrow when I open them...need sleep and scritches for the dogs. Thanks Bob! Bruce

Got my GJSS! It is 40 miles that way and the tree is 11 miles the other way and I am dog watching for a family member in the hospital! Hope to have everything converge tonight and get pics! Bruce

Sent, sent SENT! I forgot to post that they are sent! Coming from 3 different directions, but all is good. Bruce

I'm IN!!

Welcome from East Texas! Only 330 miles away! Bruce

So happy to see this plane appreciated. I did the math and it has been about 30 years since it was last used. I trimmed up a threshold that took me about 30 minutes. Poor thing was wasting in my care. Bruce

It was 2 gifts. The first went right through, but the second is stuck in UPSP limbo. Bruce

I'm not sure who to cuss at right now. USPS has claimed that they have no access to the delivery address since the 28th. Any idea how to get this straight? Bruce

Yup! Good stuff from "Rory Bellows". I think the popcorn and the pencil sharpener have been claimed by other family members so the battle begins! File handle was something I wish for weekly but never think about once I am done. I actually tried the flare tool and discovered that I don't...

Got mine today! Mine has been sent also. I have been on here at least 4 times to post this but get distracted by something shiny! [/IMG] Bruce

No one can make the call to change things but you. The best advice I can give is to start! Put your hands on some stuff and get it handled. Envision the final goal, plan the next step and handle what is in front of you. I could fill you up with platitudes that sound great and actually work...

I have found that since I proclaimed my prohibition on new project (2005), I have been blighted with deals ranging from screaming deals to being paid to take. Free scooters, couple of tire machines, someone else's Mustang project among other stuff.

My shop had quite a few of these holes. I turned on bright lights on the inside while I crawled around filling holes with RTV. Had about 8 in the roof and 15 or so on the sides. Then on a bright day I did the inside with the lights off and found 4 more. Bruce

My Dad taught me about false economy a long time ago. 45 years ago we built a shop building and he was told that 4 inches of concrete would be fine so he asked for 8 inches. I installed a 2 post lift 25 years later with confidence and it has held up with all our abuse. The year after it was...

I'm in!

Might as well do a small update. There is a car, a red 1991 Mustang convertible that appears on the first page, that has been a pain. Every time I get close to a good road car, something else blows up. Had a problem with a fuel pump that was fixed, but it also needed a new top so I piled in...

Bout time I post again! It has been a rough year physically. About 3 months ago I swapped doctors because I was just not feeling right. I put off complaining about stuff because I am the typical "muscle through it" guy, but I'm glad I did. New guy did some tests, asked a lot of questions and was...

Oklahoma is surprising geologically. I grew up in Woodward near the panhandle and visits to family between there and Dallas had us visiting many fun spots. Alabaster caverns, Little Sahara, Boiling Springs and of course Roman Nose. Now I take the Grand younglings and watch their awe and wonder...
