Tim she may be remembering your time together fondly as well. She was sure determined to reach you.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Paul that sounds like a nice roomy place. Much acreage? And plenty of room for all the autos?
Boy the closing is moving really fast, unless you have been working on this for quite some time.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I don't know what her motivation was, at this point. The gal I'm doing work for (my friends girlfriend, also now my friend) just said the other day a woman never just does something. They don't waste time, they are interested in a guy if they are willing to spend time with him. Not sure how exact that is. A man and a woman can be just friends (I mean, right??? :lol). I think she was just curious and probably is still married. We parted ways w/o bad feelings, as friends. I'd show her picture but that wouldn't be appropriate. Plus Id be getting a bunch of "GO FOR ITs" :lol: Mighty fine looking 52 year old mama!

It sounds like this one laid it out plainly for you. I know I have missed signals like this in my many years. I know. It's a guy thing. ;)

[quote=Boog;9171864]Me too. The only red lights I've ever run were women. I thought the light was green, officer. :lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I'd be willing to bet that since she got hold of you she is no longer married. Just saying!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Closing is moving fast. The house we sold in LA is vacant and ready to go and the escrow company or the realtor (I forget which) want's to make their numbers for this month. The lady we're buying from just got divorced after 31 years of marriage and just wants the place to go away ASAP. Bad memories. I can relate to that. Sometimes it's better to just move on.

This place is just shy of an acre which is fine with me. That's plenty and my other place is a 1.5 ?? acre lot. I think. :confused: So I have plenty of room for more junk. I don't want too much land because it's too much upkeep.

I haven't heard from escrow in two days so I think the green light is on. I'm just waiting for the keys. I'm like a kid before Christmas waiting to tear into his presents.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Or about to be not married. She looked you up for a reason. Even with no picture I say go for it!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

My wife and I moved the rest of my daughters stuff into her new house this morning. She is coming home from Italy on Monday so we hope to have the place in good shape when she gets home. We will finish painting the kitchen tonight and clean up for the rest of the weekend.
Unlike Paul's deal this one took forever. Her offer was excepted in October and she closed in January.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Congratulations on the new house Paul. Congrats Tim on reconnecting Tim. I've been with my reconnecting for about 12 years now.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Worked on the draft control for the old woodstove . I got the backer plates made up for the fire bricks . Now it’s just a matter of sanding and painting the the stove itself . I did go to wide one one of the air slots but I’m just going to put a couple of weld beads on the edge to fix it tomorrow. 5/16 inch plate does a number on the drill bits I did drill about 40 holes .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That is a long time to settle. I do remember when I put a contract on this house it was 90 days. I found the place in October and we settled Dec 29th, not quite 90 days

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

So this week I spent another 8 hours (4 hours per day) helping a local body shop with a 76 Ford 150 (I know the horror) sanding "poly" sanding filler. Tell you what it gives the shoulders a good work out.
Next week sanding primer. Yippee.

Wanna come to California? :lol:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

I spent the day grinding the faux wood sticker off the dash of my Bug. It's been in there since the 70's and somebody must have been smoking a lot of dope if they thought that looked good. :smoke:

I used one of those rubber wheels and it took most of it off but there's old glue left and I've got to take the knobs and the windshield out to really finish it. Not a problem because I'm replacing those. I'm replacing almost everything because everything is shot. I'm gutting the car to a shell for paint. Everybody out of the pool. :lol:

But what a mess. I didn't think such a small car could have so much crud in it. My shop vac is wheezing. But I like tinkering with it at my own pace. :)

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

There is no way a woman is going to waste their time sticking their foot out to trip a man for no reason. Its either for revenge...or intertest.

Good luck either way.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

we got to know each other really well were good friends. It's a good chance she was just curious, if she's still married. I'll know in time. I'm taking it nice and easy*


* Watch me come back next week with both nostrils wide open ranting all this crazy in love talk! :lol:

I've been taking advantage of this milder weather and have been re-glazing the windows in the sunporch. They'll be ready to paint before flowers come up. I had bought these all wood single pane dbl hung windows new when I built that room. I've patched up the glazing here and there but this time it's remove it all and replace it all. I had two broken panes and had new panes cut. Getting into it I've broken, I think, 9 more scraping the old glaze out. Turns out they didn't use points to set the glass. They just glazed the glass in. Once I scraped enough glaze the glass got a bit loose off the wood and would flex when running the scraper across it. $4 a pop. I made three trips. All done now

Air cleaner on the camaro is done.
Before and after.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

That turned out very nice! Looks like new. :chevy:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Cut the glass for woodstove door successfully it was too big and was chipping against the door latch .


I then successfully broke it when I dropped it :whine:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Looks real nice. I have a thing for air cleaners. I guess everybody does. They're like steering wheels and hub caps for me. Important details, focal points
Oh no!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Got my evaporator pan today very satisfied with it was a little apprehensive to order it as Vevor had it for about half of other sites . So I’m ready to try it out in a few weeks

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

11 degrees outside. So it’s indoor work today drilled and tapped the woodstove door to hold the widow brackets . Waiting on the new glass should be here next week .

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 

Getting that stove mighty nice. That wind is roaring! I sold a pair of skylights mid-morning. The buyer needed flashing made and I agreed to make it for extra money. But I wanted to wait for the buyer to actually show up. First reason was make sure he showed up and second was I wanted to make sure we both were thinking the same since he still had to frame for it.

He showed up and once I was ready to make up the flashing kits he paid me and said, "I'll be in my car" :lol: It was a cold sumbugger out there!
