I'm beginning to wonder if your doctor knows what you have been up to? By the way do you want a border for the BBQ season. A few more pounds won't hurt me at this stage???? Keep building or keep cooking??? your choice eh! Have a good one.

Some friends and I were out hiking around the countryside in about 1962, and I spotted a plant with giant purple stalks that looked like celery. I broke off a stalk and took it home. My mom said it was wild rhubarb, and sent me back for more. I brought back enough for a bunch of pies. I love rhubarb pie, I think it's better than strawberry!

Yep!! Food Network here.
That pie looks great. That's on my list this weekend also along with another big batch of Rhubarb sauce for yogurt.
I picked about 30lbs the other day.

We need a Food Section. Lol

Does that fishing weekend involve a trip to The Bay Of Quinte?

Created twice the potential fuel & transmission leaks as I had before I started!

Apparently got to the old rubber fuel line just before it turned back into dust!

...can you imagine a rubber fuel line letting go, and coating the entire engine compartment with raw fuel, while you're buzzing down the highway @ 60... right before something decides to light it off!

...blow yer dang hood off for starters, then it will burn your poor little truck to the ground.

Hopefully you got out alright.

Performed a backyard tube job, and now all I have to do is make sure the band clamps stay tight...and probably change several small pieces of 2" rubber hose...um, roughly once a year.

90% hand bent and 10% tube bender tool (can you tell?)... Hey Shuddup! it's working alright!

Do I see toolboxes mounted under the hood or what!

Not this time, I'm up above Havelock at Lost lake, bass hunting. I raising the bar again with 10 hour smoked pulled pork for that trip as well. Bad news on my engine as the crank needs to be ground. So with all the new parts and machining I'm over 1000 bucks again for round two. smoked food heals all wounds.

[Ol Blue K20]

I haven't had rhubarb pie in years.....I have made it a goal for next week.

[Metaldoc]

All this food has made me happy again and to top it all off the machine shop has a cancelation so my block and crank go in today. I just might be driving it next month. Happy days I hope but I'll see after the machinist mics the crank to see how bad the damage is. My rib bones are crossed cause my fingers are covered in bbq sauce.

Dang you guys ! .

I'm old & retired now, I don't cook much/well so I don't eat much, now you're talking about Rhubarb pie and my other buddies are talking about potatoes, I guess I'll have to go out to breakfast .

I know of no place in Los Angeles that makes decent Rhubarb pie .....

Removed the 20x9 fronts and put 18x8 on to try to give it some more rake...

boil, cool, and peel eggs. Do not poke or break the white parts, no yokes showing. Warmed my smoker to 80 F ,cold smoke temp, started some apple, hickory, and mesquite chips. Turned off the heat and cold smoked the eggs for ten or so mins. 4 cups vinegar, 1 1/2 tbsp. brow sugar, 4 tbsp. pickling spice, 2 tbsp. sea salt. Bring to a boil and fill jarred eggs. I add a tsp of scotch bonnet hot sauce I make. Seal them up and I( spin the jars around once a day for 5 days at least but a week is better and enjoy.

I think it would be easier to go over to your place and just chow down. I mean you have already done the work eh. If we out here made the stuff and it didn't turn out right, your recipes would get a bad rap and that wouldn't be fair now would it. Just a lovely thought. Happy father's day. Let someone else do the BBQING today. Have a good one.

I finished tearing my replacement bed down. After that, I cut the bolts that hold my flatbed to the frame. I would have removed it but I didn't have anything strong enough to hang from the garage roof to remove it.

Just got it home, it was given to me for helping clean up a hoarder's home. It sat for 5 years (at least that's the last time it was plated).

Picked this up for my Highlander..

[Redneck Rydes]

When we use to use cam buttons,they had needle bearings in them and we welded a piece of steel on the inside of the timing cover so it would not where a hole in it.
