Made tomato juice, 20 pints. I bought the juicer at a garage sale years ago and it works great. I think it is a 1967 model, maybe older....

I had some rock brought in to fill my canyons in the drive. I started with a shovel and wheel barrow to fill in 18" deep spots.

Looks good!

I need to do that too. For some reason the people that owned this property before me never put a culvert under the main driveway. It does have a drain in the uphill side of the ditch but it doesn't drain very well. We had 2 1/2 inches of rain last night and the ditch was full of water ( about 4 ft deep). I would need to bore under my drive though.

Feeding America! My day is almost half over and my crew has packed just under 200,000 pounds of pasta, it will be shipped out to your local stores and restaurants within 48 hours :smoke:

Well if you end up doing it, check with Ace Hardware on line. We got the 12" double wall poly at half the price of anywhere else and they delivered to local store for pickup for free.

You keep enjoying the mac and cheese and I will keep my crew packaging it. Yesterday I had a crew filling totes of mac and cheese noodles for a big company I can't say for who but I will say it starts with a K and ends with a t;)

We were in Eureka Springs, AR a couple weeks back and I had Lemon Pepper wings ( I like just a dab of sauce) but they had been smoked and fried. Dadgum, that was good!

If you go back to Eureka Springs and eat wings without calling me, I'll put a contract out on you. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

I have only been to Maine once, in January. It definitely did not have the same appealing look. ;) Very Nice camp.

It's neat. They simply call it "camp" up there, not the camp. I spent one night in a bed in their place, one night at camp, and one night on the shop floor on an air mattress. All three suited me just fine

Put the rear in the Toyota . Need to make up some brake lines put new cylinders and shoes . Just going to spray some rust converter on the rusty parts . Try to make it last a few more years .

special-K 09-03-2021 05:07 AM

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 
Good deal. You could always paint over the convertor to help it last better.

Hey, it's a bit of a haul for me to get to Eureka Springs but if you guys make some plans in advance and don't mind a third wheel let me know was well. I'd be game for a road trip!

That camp is cool. I think you could call it RiverCamp. Kind of like RiverDa... Uh, I'll just quit now, but you could put on some Irish music, some clogs and go out on the dock and make quite a racket, haha. That shop house is very interesting as well.

Must be Martinsburg. It isn't in the garage, but on Sept 23-25 is the ATHS Tri-State Antique Truck Show at the Clearbrook Ruritan grounds along Rt 11. Check it out, brink your truck if you can

Yep, she's been getting a real workout the last couple weeks overseas. As a longtime airlifter, it's weird to see our jets all over the news.

My labor day weekend started with a main water line break to the house right outside the meter box. Repaired the line but left the hole open a few days to make sure it didn't have any small leak still. Backfilling the hole today. No fun at all.

I bought my wife a Birthday gift today as well.

A Porsche 986 Boxster S with 40K miles. Always garaged. It's a cream puff. My Carrera's little sister.

Happy wife equals happy life. And she's pretty happy right now :)

No pic's yet. It was hotter than Hades and we were leaving town and the dealer still had to smog it. I'll pick it up when I get back.

Since she got a new toy does that mean you get to inherit her Vette?

Low Elco - Just saw this note. I have not ever been to Clem's deal. I'll have to check that out. I went to college in Fayetteville but man that whole area is WAY different these days.

Oh yeah, more truck diversions this week. Had to replace the front wheel bearing hubs on the Impala. Got a pair of Timken units and told the wife it would take two hours. I did just a bit better than that and done it in one hour and 50 minutes. She's running smooth and quiet once again.
