Or about to be not married. She looked you up for a reason. Even with no picture I say go for it!

I think she was just curious and probably is still married. We parted ways w/o bad feelings, as friends. I'd show her picture but that wouldn't be appropriate. Plus Id be getting a bunch of "GO FOR ITs" Mighty fine looking 52 year old mama!

There is no way a woman is going to waste their time sticking their foot out to trip a man for no reason. Its either for revenge...or intertest.

Good luck either way.

My wife and I moved the rest of my daughters stuff into her new house this morning. She is coming home from Italy on Monday so we hope to have the place in good shape when she gets home. We will finish painting the kitchen tonight and clean up for the rest of the weekend.
Unlike Paul's deal this one took forever. Her offer was excepted in October and she closed in January.

That is a long time to settle. I do remember when I put a contract on this house it was 90 days. I found the place in October and we settled Dec 29th, not quite 90 days

Congratulations on the new house Paul. Congrats Tim on reconnecting Tim. I've been with my reconnecting for about 12 years now.

Worked on the draft control for the old woodstove . I got the backer plates made up for the fire bricks . Now it’s just a matter of sanding and painting the the stove itself . I did go to wide one one of the air slots but I’m just going to put a couple of weld beads on the edge to fix it tomorrow. 5/16 inch plate does a number on the drill bits I did drill about 40 holes .

So this week I spent another 8 hours (4 hours per day) helping a local body shop with a 76 Ford 150 (I know the horror) sanding "poly" sanding filler. Tell you what it gives the shoulders a good work out.
Next week sanding primer. Yippee.

I spent the day grinding the faux wood sticker off the dash of my Bug. It's been in there since the 70's and somebody must have been smoking a lot of dope if they thought that looked good.

I used one of those rubber wheels and it took most of it off but there's old glue left and I've got to take the knobs and the windshield out to really finish it. Not a problem because I'm replacing those. I'm replacing almost everything because everything is shot. I'm gutting the car to a shell for paint. Everybody out of the pool.

But what a mess. I didn't think such a small car could have so much crud in it. My shop vac is wheezing. But I like tinkering with it at my own pace.

[special-K]

we got to know each other really well were good friends. It's a good chance she was just curious, if she's still married. I'll know in time. I'm taking it nice and easy*


* Watch me come back next week with both nostrils wide open ranting all this crazy in love talk!

I've been taking advantage of this milder weather and have been re-glazing the windows in the sunporch. They'll be ready to paint before flowers come up. I had bought these all wood single pane dbl hung windows new when I built that room. I've patched up the glazing here and there but this time it's remove it all and replace it all. I had two broken panes and had new panes cut. Getting into it I've broken, I think, 9 more scraping the old glaze out. Turns out they didn't use points to set the glass. They just glazed the glass in. Once I scraped enough glaze the glass got a bit loose off the wood and would flex when running the scraper across it. $4 a pop. I made three trips. All done now

Looks real nice. I have a thing for air cleaners. I guess everybody does. They're like steering wheels and hub caps for me. Important details, focal points

Oh no!

Getting that stove mighty nice. That wind is roaring! I sold a pair of skylights mid-morning. The buyer needed flashing made and I agreed to make it for extra money. But I wanted to wait for the buyer to actually show up. First reason was make sure he showed up and second was I wanted to make sure we both were thinking the same since he still had to frame for it.

He showed up and once I was ready to make up the flashing kits he paid me and said, "I'll be in my car" It was a cold sumbugger out there!

It's going to be a nice stove for my son he has a Timberline which is a very good old stove but it's way to big for his needs . It just overpowers the area the whole 2nd floor is 90° even set at low. Tried to make the firebox smaller with more fire brick but it wouldnt draft well .This one is about 2/3 the size .

[special-K]

His Timberline sounds like a good shop stove. I'm sure appreciating my renewable heat source on this blustery cold night. It's not a green energy source, it's seasoned

I too, love old stoves. When I was growing up, the general store near where I grew up, had an old Birmingham stove. When it became a nusience in the late 60s, E. B. took it out.
Fast forward to 2021 and I went to a yard sale a couple of miles from that town and this lady had an old Birmingham stove. As I stared at it, she told me that for the last 20 yrs, it was a brooding vessel for her chickens. And, it used to be in E B Thompsons grocery and her Dad left it to her. I had to buy it. I restored it and will eventually use it.

My Stepdad spent a lot of time in his garage and used a stove like this to heat it up in the winter. Handled a 2-car garage very nicely.

Same kind of deal.
