Personal memory, Dreams was the first song I tried drumming to, what a beautiful tune. Just once, at 14, on my brother's set. He'd have killed me if he knew, and besides, we lived in apts. at the time, I doubt the neighbors appreciated it much. I don't think I played again until I bought my first set at my own place, 8-9 years later.

I can't even imagine drumming in an apartment. I can wear headphones with my guitar. But no way with the drums. Can't turn them down. I get death threats when I play mine. :lol:

My neighbors kid was a drummer and my neighbor asked me if the drums bothered me. I said yes because the kid played better than me. :mad:

I have no idea about what you refer. Give me a brake :lol:

I've been on jury duty since Wed. Today should be the final day. Sorry, no pictures.

I got the stem wall poured a few weeks ago and let it set. This weekend I got the plate bolted down to complete that phase of "Project barn Move". Next will be prop wall, cut bottom off to height of stem wall, and set down on the blocking it will ride on over to it's new perch

Thanks on the place. I'm trying to stay at it till it's all caught up.

So I dug and poured the threshold for the garage door on my tiny garage. Not a priority but now it's ready for when I get a garage door to install. I decided since I can't do the whole slab right now to just do the step-down where the door sits. When we get a heavy rain water would run out of that drain back into the garage where the floor is dug down for the slab and flood it

:lol::lol:I know those kids too, they were (*)^)(*^ intimidating for almost ever. I've gotten to the point drums come pretty easy though, 40 years on occasion will do that. Doesn't help to be self taught though, I don't read music, and never cared to sit with a band. My only complaint is the improvement arrived same as the arthritis in my thumbs, no big deal.

There's always room for improvement, better I play the more I realize I kind of sucked the status before :lol: never fails. They're a blast, though I only hit them about once a week, it's all my body can take;)

Very nice building. I am planning on building one. Not quite to that scale, but hopefully enough to get everything inside. The desert sun is brutal on paint and upholstery. I have garages that can hold 5 cars but I have so much junk that I can only fit 2 in them and I have 10 cars and a pool table. I need a building.

mr.mud1 10-29-2021 01:09 AM

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 
yes sir.thanks.it's a nice spot,64x32.twice the size of my old shop,6 cars and trucks,a 20 foot car trailer,a lawn tractor,snow blower,generator,a new tractor on order and looking for a pool table for upstairs and it's almost full??thought i had all the room in the world?never enough room i guess.

That apron really completes the garage. So nice to be just outside the doors on nice days. Great payment plan!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
 
thanks,i knew it would look good,the guy who did it is the best around here,also the most expensive but you get what you pay for.i didn't know it would look that good,once i get the grass fixed,i think it'll look great and the best payment plan ever.take care.Greg

That's very well done. Kind of a mud room for your garage - a place to rinse them off before rolling them in. Looks great.

Made a 280 mile round trip to pick up a Western plow for my '03 Suburban. 13 mpg going with no wind and 15mpg return with a tailwind. I'm happy with that....

GM crate 350 with an NV4500 5 speed overdrive trans.

That's really good mileage for a tonner. Was that plow off another GM same style? It looks like the universal mount.

Yes, the plow was off of an '02 Chevy 2500 HD. It bolted right on my '03 2500 HD Suburban. It is a Uni-Mount.

Nice flatbed Leon.

My neighbor has a nice 69 or 70 C30 flatbed. I'd like to buy it off him but he never comes out these days. I think his health is not so hot. Too bad. He's a nice guy. I never saw it until recently. He has a lot of stuff on his property. I don't want to bug him but if I happen to bump into him I'm asking about the truck.

Flatbed is looking good. Nice looking plow. That should keep the driveway clear.

Split some and decided to take a break and do some milling . Forgot how slow and hard it is to do with a chainsaw mill . Did four slabs the rest of this one and five other red and white oak logs are going to my friends mill . Just need to help him replace a hydraulic line . That will be a piece of cake .

Not today but Saturday the wife and I snuck into the other Larry's backyard. Hiked to Hemmed In Hollow and then on down to the Buffalo. Waterfall was just a trickle as the recent rains weren't enough for runoff. Six miles total with 1000 feet in elevation down and back up. About four hours on the trail. Had an early dinner at the Low Gap cafe and then headed home.

Hasn't quite happened yet, but taking my oldest grandson to the Cowboys / Broncos game today. Won't mention the overall cost but, the closest parking I was willing to pay was 200 damned dollars.

My uncle used to take me the Cotton Bowl to watch the Cowboys in the early '60s and its still a great memory for me. I would rather watch the games on TV but, my Grandson is a Broncos fan. When the schedule came out he asked that we go as his 16th birthday gift. So, we are going.

I did score 1st row second level so at least I won't have to stand up for the whole damn game like most folks do.

Dad wanted to go squirrel hunting before “all things deer hunting” begins next Saturday. I got 4 and he got 6. Dad got two with one shot…..said it was the second time in his life he did that. He’s 80.

I bagged this guy. Wonder what in the world could have happened to him……well, before I knocked him out of that pin oak tree.

And he took great pleasure in it. I told him just before the start, I feared it was a trap game....I was proved right. But his team won...which made it an even more special day.

Took the tank out of the Envoy . Damn nipples rotted away on the pump . Gas was dripping out from the return line . Of course it started after my wife filled it. And with the tip over valve in the filler no way of syphoning the gas .
