Thanks,
The man that bought my 70 Ford truck found them on marketplace and asked if I would buy them for him and he would pay me back when he picked up the truck. When his bil picked up the truck we both forgot about the lights, he didnt want to mess with them and Pat wanted them so win/win, I got all five for a hundred bucks.

Didnt get to work on my lights today.
Josh had mentioned that his uncle was coming up from Alabama to assemble and install the kitchen cabinets at the first of the week so I spent the day with Hayley assembling the cabinets, we were able to finish 10 of them, only 3 left to assemble. We may do them tomorrow after I deliver the wheelchair to Athens.
That will give the Uncle a good start on the kitchen.

Spent the day on the road, I bought three mobility chairs in Athens Tn. then had to take groceries to a family friend in Niota Tn. Sometime this year I may get back to my projects.

I was able to deliver another chair.
Now I need to build a ramp for a man that is not able to get out of his house. I put out a request for funds,
I heard back from an organization that funds things like that but he is in the wrong county so they cant help.
I'm not hearing back from anybody else so! I have three men that are going to help with the labor.
I bought three more chairs at an estate sale this week and I'm hoping that there isn't any problems other than batteries.

Things finally slowed down a bit and I was able to get some shop time in today. I have been slowly cleaning the shop and organizing the mess, I grabbed an air hose to blow off the table and all I got was water.
Two weeks ago I guess I forgot to turn off the compressor when I left and I had a hose in the blast cabinet burst, the compressor ran for a couple of days before I found it and the air coming out of the hose was hot.
So today I drained about two gallons of water out of the tank, while I was at it I took the valve out of the bottom and threaded a piece of ½" pipe.
I added a street el and a ball valve. Now the drain is easy to reach.
Next I will add an automatic purge valve and plumb it outside. Now that that little project took up most of my day I'll get back to the regularly scheduled program.
I did fix the blaster and finished blasting this pipe wrench that I found at an Estate sale.
It had a wooden handle at one time.
I blasted it and painted it, I'm looking for a piece of cherry in the other shop to make a new handle.
I did these parts in hammered silver.
For now I'm back to cleaning

I got a call from the post office this morning.
I ordered 15 Buff orpington chicks and they arrived today. Hefe was having a fit.
I set up the brooder pen in the main shop. They will spend about a month there then they will go to the coop. When you order from Murry McMurry hatchery there is a free chick box at check out, they will throw in a random chick, usually I dont check the box but this time I did, It will go to Whitley in a week or so.

Terry, Hefe went totally nuts, he walked on his back feet all the way to the back door when I went out with them.
Kay, I'll check that out, my compressor is in the third bay where I cant see or hear it. I'm adding a pilot lamp to the circuit also to make sure I dont forget to turn it off again also.

Four of us worked on building a ramp onto the trailer of the guy that got the mobility chair. We spent 12 hours on saturday. Then Dude and I went back today and repaired a hole in the roof, an 8 inch limb about 25 ft. long went through the roof and took out two roof trusses.
Dalton, Leroy, Dude, and me.
This is the outline of the hole, I used a piece of metal 4'x 7' to cover it, and of corse the vent stacks were right in the middle of it.
These are a couple of shots after I went inside and beat the metal back outside(it and the limb were in the shower) Dude held a piece of 4x4 against the metal inside and I beat it flat with a hammer, it was 94 degrees and my head was starting to spin so I didnt get an after shot. I screwed the patch every two inches with tech screws and it got a coat of cool seal before and after, plus I hit several other spots while I was up there.
I might get back to my stuff someday!

Boostingaz, those are some nice looking ducks.
I would take you up on that, my little friend Whitley likes her ducks, and goat, and turtle, lol, she loves her animals.
They just got moved in to the house this week, they have been staying at Josh's mom's place. They are going to start on some better animal housing soon so lots more animals to come.
Shorty, I wouldn't have been able to do it without them and a bunch more behind the scenes people that come up with money and materials.
I dont know about the duck and 20 bucks?

Kay, Pat and I get ours every year. I have had pneumonia four times, I quit welding galvanized metal and quit smoking, haven't had it since, lol.
It was just my turn, I haven't been sick since 2018 or 19,.
The Doc gave me a script for the pneumonia shot so guess I'll go get it when I get well.
