I want one
If I send a picture of my Zephyr, will you enter it in the contest?
Seeing those color glued plastics brought back memories of my dad glueing plastic together with red glue and making heart necklaces for my 3 sisters.

Took a blow off day today! Pat has been wanting to get out of the house so we went junktiquing! There is a new place that she has been wanting to check out, Brick-Bracks.
It was very well put together, clean, and big. There prices were pretty good also.
I bought these two small trucks for 18 dollars,
This is the one I wanted, but I bought the other one just because it had its trailer, usually you only find half or if you find both the price is too high. I have and will always buy a trailer because the truck is easier to find. Now I need to find the cars that came on them. They have a very rusty Nylant tanker truck that they are asking 45.00 for, I'm going to work on them a bit, but I like it.
Then we went to Moras antiques, she is a very expensive dealer but she dose have everything,
She has one of the largest collections of uranium glass in this area.
We only went there because we were looking for a set of wooden shutters for a project, she didnt have any the size we needed.
So we went to The Gondoliers and had lunch, then went to Walmart, got some groceries and a new friend,
He is moving into Pat's coffin in the basement after haloween!
Tomorrow I'll get back to work.

That green glass is amazing.
Dennis’s Debbie collects strawberry glass, and I became aware of these glass collections, themradiation was interesting.
Funny how prices for different things vary across the country.
A few years ago I bought a good glider for $100_ish in Iowa, when they were $300 elsewhere like Missouri etc.

Don, I thought that red truck should have been more like 30 dollars, I think what helped it was they didnt have them together, they were priced separately on different shelves.
There were probably 150 cars and trucks throughout the building, I'll be back!!!
Grizz, gliders, as in patio gliders?
The porch gliders are a strange item here, everyone has one and the price goes from 50 bucks to 1000s. Dalton has powder coated many of them at the PC shop and there are people that have just walked away from them when they hear the price.

Eddie, I have two of the Miller Falls hand drills.
The small pin gets driven out and the wooden handle is threaded onto the frame.
I believe that your handle will need to be remade, or at least sectioned onto where it has been cut.
Dose yours have the storage handle, that will be the trickey part.
This is what it is supposed to look like.

Thought I would surface for a moment, I got a little help putting the flooring in the basement.
The bil and Josh came over to help.
I added 2" of gel foam to my knee pads, it helped but my knees are still sore.
I love this cieling.
I went to Lowes and got paint and baseboards tonight so I can get it finished this weekend.

Exactly.
The prices are weird.
I tend to have a price in mind, and walk or stay are equal for me.

I have motivation, I sold the red storage trailer and have to empty the furniture out of it and put it back in the basement!
Grizz, it strange how the price on things like that truck fluctuates just in this town, I'm drawn to the cars and trucks so I'm always checking the prices, one store is at 30 and another will be 125, and they arnt two miles apart!

Willy, 40 volt, she took it for a lap around the house today and said it would do! Now I gotta go mow all the leaves and twigs she blew out of the flower beds.
I painted 200 lineal ft. of baseboard today, I'll do the second coat tomorrow.
Pat cleaned the basement and I hauled off the trash.
Then I got in a little shop time!
I had searched for a new set of casters for Pat's bakery cart and they dont make or I couldn't find anything like these so I had to rebuild them. I mounted the four wheels on a shaft and trued them up on the lathe a couple of weeks ago. I ground the rivets out and had saved them in Hope's of reusing them but that didnt work out, so I cut down some 2" 1/4-20 bolts so that I had some smooth shank for the wheels to roll on, then I rounded the heads so they look like the rivets.
The old rivets just wouldnt work!
The 1/4-20 bolts were finished off with SS acorn nuts with a drop of loctite to keep them together.

We are starting to get it together slowly!
Who would have thought you would put a laying box on the wall for a cabinet?
Got all of the baseboards finished, they are on block walls so we used tapcons, filled and painted.
I cant wait to have an actual office, the kitchen table is getting old.
I have decided not to attend the Hwy 411 yard sale this year, it starts in two days and I'm just not ready, plus I want to keep the basement project going, it's too close to being finished.
Except for tomorrow, Bear hunting season starts this weekend also, and Josh's Ford Ranger dosnt have a bed or a dog box so tomorrow we will build a flatbead for it.

Bugnut, it is not powder coated, it is all galvanized and sometimes galvanizing will off gas and cause bubbles so I decided to just paint it with hammered silver rustoleum. I had to take it completely apart and thoroughly wash and clean all of the parts painted them then reassembled it.
Kirk, It has come a long way since you were here, it seems like it has taken forever to get to this point but so many other things have gotten in the way also. Just like you, theres been a lot of work, not necessarily the work I wanted to be doing but it had to be done.
I'm sitting in the ER with the bil right now, not sure what the problem is but he is bent over in pain! More excitement to follow!

When I took my EMT training, we had a guy with a kidney stone.
Doc said that's the closest a man can come to giving birth.

He had one about 3 years ago and he said that one was a six, he said this one was a 22, much worse. He is a truck driver and had to drive himself back to the terminal then drive himself to the hospital in his own truck. I'm proud of how tough he is, tongue in cheek!!!
Didnt get to work on the basement today, Josh and I worked on his truck.
It's a typical dog box flatbed,
it ain't pretty, it's for riding in the mountains hunting for bear and hogs.
I'm hoping to get it done tomorrow!

Josh is a really good guy, he takes his family very seriously, he works hard and will help me with anything that I'm doing. He is very protective of Pat and me.
He has been talking about wanting a flatbed on his hunting truck for a while so when I told him that we would build it he got excited like a little kid, he was texting me half the night, I couldn't shut him up. Another project was the last thing that I needed right now but it sure made his day.
We will build dog boxes and tool and storage boxes as we go.
The bil is still moving slow but doing ok.
Pat and I found a great deal on tomatoes we put up 120 lbs of tomatoes last night after supper, I went to bed at 12:30, She finished up at 2:30.
We got 31 quarts and 8 pints of tomatoes juice! Not bad.
