I just finished my daughter's kitchen, well this phase anyway. She still needs to get a microwave/range hood fan thing and the rest of the appliances.
Once I have that in-hand I can build something to tie it into the rest of the run. Last Saturday I tore out the old box-store golden oak mess and installed these. I built them over the last few weeks and last Saturday they went in without the doors. I was still working on the paint, but the main boxes were ready. I hung the base doors on Thursday evening and she gave me one of the pulls to make a drilling jig. Today was the upper doors and all of the pulls went on. Tile backsplashes are next, but I think she is doing that herself. Stainless appliances and flooring soon to come. The dark circular smudges are from my dirty lens |

Wifey and I drove down to Gibsland, Louisiana to see the Bonnie & Clyde museum and ambush site. Took the ‘90 out and let her do some rumblin & cruisin!
NOT the real car, but one just like it. I believe it said this was the Warren Beatty/Faye Dunaway movie car. https://i.ibb.co/fx8WZkg/2332-B52-B-...E48309-AEC.jpg These were the guns that were confiscated in the car after Bonnie & Clyde were shot. They meant business! My wife said she was hungry after taking this pic…..she said my a$$ was eating my shorts and it made her hungry. ;) https://i.ibb.co/Y8SkCTh/799086-EA-D...1-B3295-F7.jpg 2 plaques…..one erected to Bonnie & Clyde’s death/ambush site and the other dedicated to the law enforcement officers who ended their crime spree. https://i.ibb.co/BcRQPT6/1-A1-D5-E59...457-AD7599.jpg https://i.ibb.co/YfYJvHz/0-BEAAB4-E-...CFE9710042.jpg |

I want that Thompson.
I knew an old guy that had one. He kept it in the trunk of his Cadillac. (Mobster?) Oh yeah. :) |

Back in 1970 or so B&C's car and one of Hitler's staff cars came through our town on a display trailer. I forgot just how many bullet holes are in the car, 104 maybe? Clyde sure loved those Ford V8s. He even wrote a letter to Henry Ford telling him so.

He did! He said that's why he always stole Fords. And Henry Ford didn't like it one bit. :lol: |

Full pressure wash on the front porch. It's so much faster now that I've been doing it yearly... Trex railing is about 8 years old now, absolutely love it over the original wood railing that blew paint off every time I cleaned it.
Then I did something I've been wanting to do for years for the 4th which is add flag bunting. |

I worked till lunch time then we knocked off due to the heat. Great!, off early! Home early to not get anything done because it's too hot. I have a few projects on the place going, but focusing on one. But there is the digging/leveling/footers/lay block in the (cool) cellar project I started last winter. Well there you go. Not hot... except when I carry the 5gal buckets of dirt up and out the cellar door to the wheelbarrow. Then there would also be pushing that off and dumping it. So half hot and I went for it a couple hours anyway. Time for refreshments now |
Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Per my wife's request. I made a big batch of my BBQ sauce for a July 4th BBQ at the hospital. I like to make it early and let it sit for a while so the flavors can do their thing.
It has over 20 ingredients and made a mess out of my kitchen. I told my wife that my work was done and that she should clean it up since it was her idea... That didn't fly. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I set up my pet tarantula's new digs. A lot more room than his old jar.
And of course he hid when I took the pic. Camera shy... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...m/Legs_Pad.jpg |
