Re: Random Photos ‘You took’

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
This is my neighbor's place just down the road. He's a couple notches off. I tried to be friends, as so many others have, but ... Well anyway, he's a couple notches off.
He discovered buying and selling older Chevy trucks. He doesn't know what he's doing but was successful in finding those who knew less. Or at least thought he knew what he was doing since he was involved in selling. Simple philosophy, buy (not even low) and sell for more, like double. He also was less than honest, he got that crooked salesman part down pat. If a truck didn't sell after so long, he'd part it out. He was good at taking trucks apart but couldn't put one together to save his life. Then he got the idea to make his place a self-made landmark, which it already was with his barn sitting right at the edge of the road. First he took a whole unrusted Panel truck he couldn't sell and cut the side out of it to stick up on the wall of his barn. Then he ended up putting on a fender and a cut up hood. The pickup is another that never sold and he thought people would only want a five window cab, so he chopped that up to stick on the wall, as well as a bed. Before he put that there, he had cut up a '49 Fleetline (Torpedo Back) behind the doors and stuck that there. That car was solid, too. Finally, someone wanted it for the rare glass and truck lid and it came off the wall. Long story, but here are pictures. The last one with my '72 in it shows the Fleetline tail end into the wall

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
In Ct. they max out a vehicle with historic plates at $500.00. We pay crazy high car taxes. So it nice getting the bill on my 2 Squares. I think it was $24.
The plates used to say Early American on them. That was stupid as I would get aggravated every time I saw a 79 Honda with early American plates. No inspections here. |

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
No doubt fueled by the new and used high selling prices these last 2 years.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
It was a little better than 48 here today. I think about 10* higher. But it was breezy and felt cooler. I had 18 pieces of beaded paneling cut to about 40 inches that I primed outside this afternoon. This weekend I'll be stuffing firewood in the stove.
I wish I could have gotten a picture, yesterday. These rich buy-ins get on my nerves. So big deal, it got up into the 40s yesterday. But the roads are about white from salt. I see a guy in a yellow '40 Ford Woodies driving along. I mean, my dad had a '49 Ford Woodies that was rotted out in the early '50s, wood and metal. This Woody I saw driving on salty roads sure didn't come from around here and has certainly gotten a heavy restoration no matter where it came from. And this guy is running around on salty roads like it's nothing ![]()

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I could write a book on that neighbor's goofiness I mentioned in my prior post. But how about a random campsite picture from back in the '80s instead?

Just noticed after all the years I've had this axle, the cotter pins were not spread out.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Random photo of my old Crestline banjo that i just picked up on the cheap.
I know nothing about banjo's. This one looks well used and it came with a nice case. So now I'm going to have to learn how to play it. ![]() ![]()

The "Ice Castle" in Eagle River Wisconsin built by the fire department annually when conditions permit. It's built with ice cut from a local lake in early January in time for the World Championship Snowmobile Derby. Different design every year.

Wow! That thing is big. Do you have any idea how long it took them to build it? LockDoc

Duh... let me think about that.... On second thought I'll ask my wife.
EDIT: She explained it to me. I get it now.

Here's a night time pic from the newspaper with info at the bottom. It took about 5 days to build. EDIT: Added a copy of the newspaper article (may need to zoom to read).

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Wow, 2,500 blocks! I guess there are a lot of questions that could be asked. My top question is "What kind of gloves did they wear? I'd really like to know! Would make a good advertisement for them
That's cooler than cool! (see what I did? Cooler than cool? As in cold? Ah, never mind) They did a very ice job (not a typo)... (not all that funny, either)

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Got mine a few weeks ago. The outside looks kind of of like a truck tire?
