Re: What did you get done this weekend?
Finally got my chainsaw out of the shop and ripped up some tough live oak rounds... mowed the lawn, trimmed the birch trees, rotated tires on the Toyota. That's about it besides watching races on TV and washed dishes. Pretty quiet weekend, but got to watch it snow this morning.

Re: What did you get done this weekend?
Lots of yard work. Finished trimming and hauling off off my tree and shrub trimmings, mowed edged, all that exciting stuff. Worked on the steering for the mower. I did get some more sanding/filler done on the 70 as well as stripping the hood of its original paint..

Re: What did you get done this weekend?
Tried installing the torque converter, but I broke a bolt when the online manual was wrong (63 ft lbs instead of the required 36 ft lbs) so now I need to got get more bolts.
I also finished up welding in the drivers side floor pan and the lower portion of the A-pillar. Also got the front cab support in place, so now I just need to drill a few holes for spot welds and burn it in. I also built some shelves in the garage for a few totes with parts in them and did a general clean up of the garage. |

I got my radiator mounted but the main focus for the past few weekends has been potty training my 2 year old little girl.
