Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Snowing again today here, and blowing too so all the porches fill up with snow.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Made a 2 liter starter for the coffee chocolate stout . Going to pitch yeast at 70 degrees and put it on the stir plate for 24 hours

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yeast is pitched and the stir plate is stirring . The reason for this is to take a 5 gallon yeast culture to 15 gallon about 650 billion more yeast cells. Yeast from the package about 300 billion

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Applied Boiled Linseed Oil to finish the white cedar rocking chair my wife bought. That's the last piece. She bought two coffee tables, two regular chairs and a glider, as well. I'm liking how the sun and the BLO have turned the color of the wood. I'll get pics at some point. I don't really understand why we have this Paddy O'Furniture, since we don't sit out there in the back yard, anyway. It's either hotter than hell's braze hinges or too cold, by her claim.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
More snow shoveling ...
Was a project to get the 4runner out of the garage to go feed/water the horses. If I don't keep the apron clear then it packs down and pretty soon you can't get in/out of the garage without hitting the top. Taking a break right now but I still have to shovel the deck and a path to the wood pile, and it is still snowing. Will have to clear the drive again this evening to get out to the barn again. Fun driving in the snow however ![]() ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Replaced the valves in the shower at the rental house. 4 hours worth of work, considering hardware store runs. Then I crawled under the house and took pics of the black mold to send to a contractor I know. That kind of construction is in my past, what with all the arthritis. At least I got the valves OK. Now, the kitchen sink faucet is dripping. They're getting a whole new faucet; I ain't standing there for an hour changing out o-rings and such on a 40-year-old faucet.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The trouble with shower/bath faucets is that you usually have to tear out the whole wall to get at them
![]() I did finally manage to peel back the plastic surround to replace the leaking elbow to the spout that was flooding my cellar (back in May I think it was). I keep wanting to design/build a house with a mechanical room somewhere in the middle that all the plumbing just goes through an unfinished wall into the adjoining bathrooms/kitchen.

And they apparently built the bathroom around the tub. I think I would have to cut or beat on it to get it out and then a new one wouldn't go in. What I may eventually do is replace it with one of those shorter trailer house tubs, and build out the wall 5-6" on one end for the faucet, with a narrow removable panel so at least you could get an arm in there with a wrench to hold something while you take it apart. That's what caused the problem: the spout rotted off and when I tried to unscrew it the plastic pipe twisted out of the elbow. I managed to make up a short piece and glue it in from the outside but apparently the elbow got cracked too. It blew out later. The house was originally just a 24x24 foot cabin before the addition, so the bathroom is about the smallest you could ever imagine and still have a tub. If it was just me, I would just put in a shower stall and be done with it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I got my traffic light cleaned, repaired/tested, and hung in the garage. All 3 eyebrows were cracked or broke. Ordered a sequencer for it so the lights will change from one to the other.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That's a nice addition to your garage Robert.. is this a replica or a real traffic light ? I see ya got a few license plates on the wall ( I am a small time collector of old plates) and what looks like a airplane propeller ther too..,,and also some expensive plywood resting against the work bench.. The Chevy Truck makes the room light up as well..
Pretty neat that the red green and yellow light goes thru the rotation .. good job you did.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I tried rc airplanes years ago. I did more crashing than flying. That plane looks very nice.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That 's what I was thinking. You sure must be good at landing to have such a nice plane. That must be so cool to fly that. I'd enjoy watching it fly. Not too far from me an RC club has a property they fly on, and it's right along the road where you can see them flying.
