Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That tailgate had more identification than an '80s Toyota pickup. I remember in the '80s they had to put the build sheet on the tailgate, Toyota, SR5 or 1 Ton, EFI, and I think V6 all on a little tailgate. I had the '78 Scottsdale 30 Camper Special 454/4spd dually but it just said Chevrolet on the big tailgate (not painted) because you can see what it is. I had a cocky attitude about their so-called 1 Ton pickups, especially when pulled up next to mine. That was a joke. I decided to get a tag that said WON TON (

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My neighbor across the street was pressure washing his driveway, and I asked him if that thing would take off paint. I didn't mask off a car I painted many years ago well enough, and I had some overspray on the driveway. He started in on it, and it became obvious that the whole driveway would have to be done. Hero! He did it all, before sunset. Still some paint remnants to clean up, but my driveway is tons better. I'll get him a handle of Jack when I go to CostCo tomorrow. He refused any payment, like I used to do for neighbors many years ago. What goes around, comes around!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
They do take a lot longer to cook since they don't flatten out like regular cookies. I'm not sure I went the full 30 or 40, but I kept checking the bottom to see if they were browning and pulled them once the bottom started to brown.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Not for me. My second batch will be my favorite, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. I'm about ready to start making them.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Here in ID, we are getting a pretty major winter storm and temps have been cold!!!! I thought I would do something for the birds. I had some cardboard boxes and made little shelters. Sadly, I went out to the patio and found a dead dove. Poor little guy froze to death

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
in -26 C (-15 F) me and the boy installed a flowmaster cat-back on his Firechicken. got a fence and hedge around us so was not too bad.
old..... new.... the flowmaster on my stepper is falling apart...can't really complain, put it on there in '05 as i got a "new" truck, don't want to spend money on the stepper anymore...so i re-purposed the muffler off the kid's 'bird. welded some hangers on it and voila, my stepper don't sound like a friggin' helicopter going down the road anymore |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
My advanced cadets in my Principles of Engineering class are designing a remote-control submarine (they picked the project). Today I've been printing and machining parts for their ballast tank.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That looks awesome. Can't wait to see how it turns out. Did you order a powered bead roller with forward and reverse?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
i think it'll do a good job.i looked at several but they're mostly the same,likely all from the same chinese factory?i think i'll build a stand for it,maybe out of an old engine stand i have rather than mount it in a vice but we'll see.it ticks me off waiting on unreliable people to deliver the one i ordered,i'll be at Eastwood in October when we go to Williamsgrove Speedway to see the winged sprint cars but i can't wait til October?hurry up and wait.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
That stuff gets under my skin. That dealer probably doesn't keep that in stock, just orders one when requested. I always figured the investment in warehouse and inventory are what justify middleman profit.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Pic of the curly birch coat rack I built. It had tear-out about 1/16" deep. Good thing I have a drum sander. There is no way I'd've taken off that much material by hand, and the planer would just tear out more of the wood. That stuff is hard as rock. Love that figure, though!
