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

[old Rusty C10]

ground off about a half inch of bondo on the replacement 37 chevy rear fender so as to go back and unscrew up the previous owner's lack of skill for making repairs

[Boog]

1/2" of bondo. That reminds me of something someone said, I think it was "grinders and paint make me the welder I ain't" or something to that effect.

Smoked some pork chops and chicken . Chops took about an hour chicken is still cooking

[Boog]

Umph. And here I am choking down a Hardiees burger. A sad one at that.

Can't say that I've ever had a Hardies Burger. They wife and I went to Costco last week then drove right across the road to In-N-Out Burger, we hadn't eaten at one in probably 3 years or so. The wife and I was either awfully hungry or those burgers were pretty special, as the whole meal was delicious and only $23 for both of us.
My sister-n-law lives in Nashville and say's they are getting a In-N-Out...looks like they are migrating eastward!

Plowed about 5" of new snow this afternoon. Had to wait for the snow plow to go by because they always plow the end of the driveway shut.

Finished up the “restoration” on the two vises I picked up in the fall

[72c20customcamper]

Zinc plated some parts .

Nice work! Those engineer style vices can be real handy.

My other project wasn't nearly as cool. Spent yesterday tearing into the washer/dryer to solve the numerous squeaks and other noises it has been making as of late. Solved the noises and thoroughly fileted my hands on all the sharp parts.

Some more smoking chicken and venison sausage

After a couple of days of heavy wind and rain today was pretty nice and supposed to be nice for a few more days. They are having a Soap Box Derby event in the next town north (Oakdale) this weekend and the Faros Car Club will be in attendance to cheer them on.
So, I rolled Cheryl Ann out of Hibernation today and cleaned her up for the races tomorrow. I'll get a few pics of the kids and their cars and share them.

[Boog]

Still beautiful.

Helped Dad with fixing a shelf in our one cabinet, boy was that great to hear come down a 2AM. Also helped install a different style light socket in the basement, this one has a pull cord and a plug for a cord to be plugged in. Everything else was just little keeping busy things.

Was in Missouri last week, doing some repairs on the vacation home. It was colder there than it was in Idaho. I didn't get as much done as I had hoped.

Yesterday couldn’t plow the whole driveway it was a sheet of ice but I don’t go up to the back part of the property during winter anyway

It started out in the teens but rose to about 33 changed from snow to freezing rain then just rain for a while . But the temps dropped to the high teens and it’s suppose to stay there for the rest of the week

Serviced our 13kW Generac this morning. Well, not much of a service, just oil & filter change. Battery & air filter checked OK.

Unfortunately the navigation buttons on the display panel aren't working, so I don't know how many total hours are on it. Two years ago it was showing 79 hours.

Ran into town for those "essential" food items we always buy before a weather event moves in. Shelves were thin but I managed to get that loaf of bread, eggs, and milk though.

In the winter of 77-78, I worked at a "Big Star" grocery in Lone Oak, Ky as a carryout. It happened that winter, actually, both winters, to be brutally cold and snowy. Several of us stayed in town for a stretch of days with one of our co-workers due to deep snow on the roads. It never ceased to amaze me how those 3 items were the 1st to go. We had a running joke that everybody was making egg and milk sandwiches. Bagged candy, popcorn and ice cream were always next to run low on the shelves.

Tapped some more maples . No sap running yet last year at this time I had already done 3 gallons of syrup. Fear it’s going to be a bad harvest.

We've been back east in the fall a few times. Went to a few small places that had tapped the trees and were making syrup. It was pretty interesting. The syrup is a little different than Mrs Buttersworth

I always wonder where this practice started. Who thought lets drain the liquid out of this tree and make goodness out of it?

Mine is due also for its annual service but I'm waiting for a little more spring like temps. The almonds are blooming so spring has sprung which means we soon go to work around the place servicing, cleaning and mucking.

It's 65 and sunny here today, but we do have a slight wind chill. Supposed to be 69 and sunny this weekend. The weather is the only good thing about Kalifornia.
