Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Finished up almost all the paint and repairs on the rental house. All that's left (for me to do) is one patched area in a bathroom that needs sanding and painting. All in all, while the renters were pretty much pigs, not too bad. Still need the carpets cleaned and the kitchen floor replaced. Not their fault, that linoleum is decades old. I once thought that if I won a big lottery prize I'd buy and rent houses or something. This one rental was a pain in the keister, and the Covid moratorium didn't help. We could have kicked them to the curb in March, for non-payment of rent. Finally, that restriction died and the wife was all over it with our attorneys (it was her parent's house, and she's the one with the business/legal background, and the only one in that trust). Six months of not paying rent, and we rented it for $500 below market because the wife was my wife's work friend. :rolleyes: Nice people get walked on. They got out a week ahead of the Sheriff. :devil:

Not the same, but similar. This married couple were both lawyers who would rent really nice houses and pay no rent. Although most people who rent don't have one, Maryland requires a "renter's license" to "legally" rent a home. Knowing the law, these lawyers would first check if the renter was licensed, then move right on in and ride on legal processes a couple few years, then move on. I don't think they trashed anything but the renter's finances.

Put a new flat plug on my trailer wiring. Had a small grass fire last spring that burned under the trailer and melted the end. Put new bushings in the rear leaf springs on the neighbor’s golf cart. Tomorrow I plan on working on my CJ project.

I think that the bathroom in that shop is likely bigger than the "shop" I have to do woodworking in.

Smoked up some chicken thighs. Bought about 22 pounds as it was 89 cents a pound . This is the last batch that’s still on didn’t use the big smoker used the Weber . Lump charcoal and cherry wood make a nice combo .

Yummay, I love grilled chicken thighs! CostCo carries them at a pretty low price, but I haven't seen any in quite awhile. I got some filet mignon to grill for tonight's dinner. Also yummay!

Made a lighter gate for the dump trailer don’t need a solid gate to get firewood all drop off pieces at the steel place . 2 bucks a pound ,last year I paid $1 a pound I still need to get a piece of expanded steel . But I’ll wait till they have some in the drops .
I made it so I don’t need to take it off when dumping the load . I think I’ll modify the original gate to do the same |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nice tailgate Mark!

That is the one truck I have always wanted to have and keep original, even as a young guy with hot rodder blood. I went to a big rig show/shine/truck pull over on the Eastern Shore on Saturday. Here's a picture of a modified old truck I liked. It's a Dodge Power Wagon chassis and bed, with the B Mack cab. Well thought out and it all goes together and works well. The custom-made wheels have 38" Mickey Thompson Baja claws mounted
Attachment 2229148 I really liked this '62 GMC Attachment 2229149 I rode with my friend in his '58 REO |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got a prescription for new glasses. I was having a lot of trouble reading small font.
I have to send my frames and prescription online to actually get my new glasses. My optometrist doesn't do that anymore. Just prescriptions. I found that odd because I thought that they made they're money on overpriced frames. My wife had her eyes checked too. She has perfect 20-20 vision. Which makes me wonder. If she can see so well why did she ever marry me. :confused: |

My glasses broke a month or so ago. I've been wearing readers. Yesterday I decided to drive up to finally see about getting the same frames again. Yes, but out of stock. Felt like a wasted trip but I had to go there to find out.
I finally put my barn in motion. Lots to do now to repair tree damage, bolt building down, roofing, etc |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That tree has been working on that barn for a long time. I would liked to have been there watching this whole barn move.
