Hello from Tomball

[bushpilot]

just a shadetree / diy'er here....own a couple motorcycles, a couple diesels - f350 & 300cd and a couple gassers - miata & subaru

I cant afford to take the stuff to a shop <sometimes i have to> - so i
twist the occasional wrench just to get away from the boredom of my
day job !

I bought this Cranberry KRL main box earlier this year when i out grew my old
craftsman boxes...and i recently picked up the matching side cabinet. The side cabinet
was BRAND NEW - NEVER had a tool in it <SWEET> !

Heres some pictures -

some of the stuff i break...and fix....

the compressor and old tool boxes -

some improvements i made for when the wrenching ISNT goin' on -

Glad you finally stepped up for an introduction

You have a nice space there for yourself. Sweet tool boxes you managed to score. BTW, you have entirely too much liquid in your refrigerators. Let us know and we'll come on over and help you get rid of some of it....

A California welcome to the GJ.

 

[bushpilot]

Thanks ! You're welcome anytime !
w/ my gear head friends those fridges struggle to stay full A LOT !

 

[bushpilot]

couldnt resist upgrading....anyone wanna buy a cranberry KRL ??

I see 2 taps and 2 kegs. What do you serve?

Heres some pictures -
the compressor and old tool boxes -

That picture makes me so proud of you! By the way, nice toolbox upgrade, if you still have the cranberry box in october when I head through Texas, I may be interested...somehow I don't think you will still have it though!

Nice place!!

Howdy Neighbor !One of my boys just went Navy ROTC <full ticket>.

I see 2 taps and 2 kegs. What do you serve?

whatever is available or w/ enough planning - ordered ! theres been bud, dos equis <dark & light>, shocktop & zigenbock thru the lines so far....new castle might be next.

im actually giving some thought to adding a 3rd tap and running 3 "slim" ponys

That picture makes me so proud of you! By the way, nice toolbox upgrade, if you still have the cranberry box in october when I head through Texas, I may be interested...somehow I don't think you will still have it though!

Nice place!!

thanks ! the cranberry box is potentially spoken for...but i havent seen any cash for it yet. I'd like $2800 for the KRL761 & the add-on <never had a tool in it> side cabinet. as you can see the Main Cabinet (761) has the optional ($700) stainless steel top.

 

[jktruck150]

We'll have to check on it later...no promises. Oct is still a ways away. Not a bad price, so I hope you sell it! Cash talks!

So, how many of your friends come over and drink your beer...you need another??

love..LOVE that fridge setup

 

[Falcon67]

Howdy - used to live right down the road from you on Spring-Cypress. Shopped for parts in a little wrecking yard up there off 249.

 

[NUTTSGT]

I think you need a bigger garage.

kitchen, BEER FRIDGE(s) or GARAGE !

For some reason I can't PM you, what would you take for the the side cabinet alone?

mistakenly had the option turned off, my apologies.
PM sent !

 

[bushpilot]

the Cranberry box & NEW <never used> side cabinet has been sold
and delivered to its next care taker !

 

[mobilus]

I'm surprised no one said anything about the "virgin" side cabinet.

So what's the story with your handle, "Bushpilot"? Alaska transplant to Tejas?

 

[bushpilot]

what about the virgin side cab ?
my screen name has nothing to do w/ alaska or flying.

 

[mobilus]

"NEVER had a tool in it <SWEET> "

Maybe it is just my dirty mind...I think not.

 

[bushpilot]

hah good one - it was a shame that i never got to use it.

I never emptied my old craftsman, chalk it up to too much business travel...i upgraded to a full stainless 72" top version...and then gave the craftsman stuff away as a means of forcing myself to use the equiv. of the side cabinet....sold it to a good home where it will get used.

 

[jimmiller2]

Great looking set-up you have. From your computer name, I expected to see a experimental aircraft project amoungest your motorcycles. I am currently building a
exp clipped-wing Supercub I hope to have flying in about a year.

regarding those type of pictures...dont hold your breath...

 

[jimmiller2]

Don
I think you took my post in the wrong way. A lot of pilots especially the mechanically inclined get into airplane building and I was thinking that maybe that was an interest of
yours.

JM

 

[bushpilot]

no, didnt take it wrong at all - youre good w/ me jim.

im not a airplane pilot.

 

[Call me the Breeze]

PRIVATE, 50a/220v service, a wash bay on premises, dump tank AND a wash bay...i could LIVE here !

 

[kardude67]

[bushpilot]
