Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Those dogs are good. They also have some darn good pizza too. When I'd go there and grab a bite the place was full of high school kids ditching the school cafeteria. I can't say that I blame them. Back in my day it was Jack in the Box that we'd all go to.

I amended a handicap entry I built last May. The guy hasn't recovered from a broken leg so well, or maybe it's other issues that cause him to fall and break his leg. He was having trouble (using a walker) stepping up off the concrete porch, about 7", over the doorsill. I built him a gentle slope, same pitch as the ramp. Always nice to get a one day start to finish job. I had pictures and notes from last year, so didn't need to run down to take a look. Not the fanciest job I've done. The son will sell the place when his dad passes and in that area the house is considered a "Teardown". The lot has more value than the home Before: After:

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Monday night it snowed, that heavy wet type stuff. We didn't get a lot, but enough and the roads were slick. At 0830, the doorbell rang. Cursing under my breath, I'm wondering what this person wants at that time, not to mention I really have no neighbors close by.
Open the door, a sheriff's deputy is standing there. Now I'm thinking, "Oh great. What's happened how?" He tells me that some 17 year old had slid off the road, gone over the guardrail and down the embankment, into my pasture. He took out about 30' of fencing. So, I spent the afternoon fixing that. What really kind of fries me is that the kid was sitting in his parents' car and didn't even bother to get out and say anything to me. I had walked to the end of the driveway with the deputy. The first thing I had asked the deputy was, was the driver ok. Where's the common courtesy these days? Had I been the kid, I would have gotten out of the car and apologized up and down for what I had done. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I made it back to work today. Stomach flu started Sunday night. It was brutal, but feeling pretty good today. I lost 7 Lbs. My wife dodged the bullet thank goodness, she did a good job taking care of me.
On Saturday we took a class so we can apply for our pistol permit. I had never even held a weapon before. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Been working in my garage getting ready for a productive spring and summer out there (right lol). Fixed my bench drawers. Put a new upper shelf with storage bins I got from a closed hardware store. Got the wood and shelving from Lowes culled pile. I think it will hold ok. Shelf sits on an 8ft ledger board that is screwed in to the studs with three inch screws. There are four large shelf brackets. The shelf is screwed to the top of the ledger board. The metal part of the storage bins are screwed from the inside to the studs on the wall. Used anchors where there were no studs. And screwed the rear bottoms through the shelf into the ledger. Feels pretty sturdy to me haha, plus Im not putting heavy stuff in to the bins. Need to finish trim and stain black. Ill put new labels on once I figure out whats going in the drawers.
Before and now pics

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Very nice although I wouldn't want to throw darts anywhere near those magazines. If you saw me play darts you would understand. I like the old hemi valve covers. Heck I like it all. Very cool setup.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Is the same thing true for a clean workbench as it is for a clean desk?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I've never had a clean workbench for more than a day. Just like my underwear.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks for the kuddos guys, but we all know in a shop cleanliness is temporary ha!
Still more work to do though. I got that cool metal pegboard leftover from a work project. I had four outlets and hardwire for my laptop before. I eliminated two outlets and the computer. Wi-Fi works just fine. Do t need four outlets on an Eight foot bench. But I did add that extra piece that has swivel outlets and usb charging Paul those are just copies of covers. I sort of decoupaged them to the wall with watered down Elmer’s glue … worked great.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Great idea. But still don't invite me to play darts. People scatter when I pick darts up. I can hit everything but the dart board.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Actually my workbench has been good and clear (almost) since I put it back in the barn after moving it. Come to think of it, I haven't really done anything on the workbench to create a mess. That should explain that!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Today I took My Jaguar in to smog it and get some things done. This isn't going to be pretty. So I am sitting here waiting to assume the position for when the bill comes.
Getting new tires. I got a good deal on some sweet original rims. I'm losing the wide wheels on it. I don't like how they ride and I just don't like them. Brakes and alignment and a new grille. The one on it looks weird. I got an original chrome one. So it "should' ride better, look more of how a Jag should look IMHO and have license plates on it finally.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Finally unloaded the pics off my good camera, but all the cleaning paid off, the 2 cars looked good in the Portland Roadster Show. The custom is a hall of fame car so was just on display, but always fun talking to people trying to figure out all the modifications. The Camaro was right at home in my Camaro Clubs display. Car ended up coming home with a 2nd place in Restored 61-69. Pretty good for a 15 year old restoration and lots of miles on it at this point.

What I did since Thursday is set up at a local swap meet Thursday, sell stuff a couple days, and pack up at 2 today. I have never set up at this one. Only go to buy usually. Just one 10 x 10 space. This place is 15 minute from home, very convenient. I was on an end row, so I had chairs against the wall across the aisle and today I had friends stop and hang out while I tended from afar. I had a great time! First picture is early this morning from one corner. My space is second one down on the outside

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Just came in from my "March Auto Madness". Did LOF & tire rotation on the Montero (stupid skid plates). LOF & tire rotation on the '70 (so easy). Did LOF, air filter, tire rotation on the Tahoe. By the time I got to the tires on the Tahoe, I was pretty wore out. Used the old shovel lifting trick to lift them up. Tomorrow I've got the tractor and the lifesaving Generac to do. I'm feeling old fellas.
