Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
^ Don't feel too bad. I woke up at some stupid early hour and couldn't get back to sleep. Surfing the net, fell asleep for 20 minutes in spite of 2 mugs of coffee. Fell asleep again later for about 30 minutes; woke up in time for mid-day dog feeding. I have lots to do around here, not getting it done. #old

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Been splitting firewood last two days haven’t looked as to how I’ll remove the burl. I’m taking it in one chunk though and probably use the bandsaw on it . Much less waste. Now do I cut vertically or horizontally that is the question.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I would love to build a 16x20 log cabin on our farm out of poplar trees on the back of the place. I just dont have the equipment needed to make it happen. The trees are plentiful and some are 40" in diameter and go 50 feet without a limb. They could do some real damage falling among the oaks.

Been to Toronto many times on business. Always found folks up there good to deal with.
I like that you clear US Customs at the Toronto airport. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Bought 40 sacks of black mulch at a local diy center. Rented their truck, since I didn't want to clean out my camper shell, duck under the liftgate to load and unload, and reload the stuff. $19 well spent. Threw the sacks around in the planter. I'll slit their bellies another day.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
oh ya,i'm not as stoopid as i look,my brownie point account is in good shape but i can wipe it out at a moments notice??we saw the Ripley's Aquarium but didn't go.we didn't have much time as goofy as that sounds.we had never done this before but i'm sure we'll do it again but left home Friday at 7:00 for the 2 hour drive to Halifax and the airport and to be there early like they want,then the 2 hour flight,figure out the train from the airport to Union Station,then find our Airbnb place.we really only had time to check in,go find a place to eat and then walk to the game for 6:00 pm,started at 7:00.our flight out was Saturday at 4:00 pm so i guess we could've gone Saturday but i don't like going anywhere like that when you have to watch the clock so i'm sure we'll do it again and maybe next time,add a day and do a few attractions?we talked about going to see the Raptors again but maybe driving to Boston,it's only 10 or 12 hours from here,we'd have wheels,you just never know what's around the corner? it's all good.we had a good time,she loved it.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
re-worked the canopy buddy gave me. he said first it was off a sb obs, but after mounting it, didn't come off no obs. he then told me it was on a sb dodge- makes more sense. the cab lines don't match and it hangs over the rear sides of the box a little bit. asked him if had ladders tied on top as it was severely gouged and scratched. he told me no, he dragged it down his driveway upside down.....
has the texture like a blazer topper |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Neck surgery I had last day of November fixed my spinal cord kink and a couple other neck items, but it didnt fix what they thought was nerve damage in my right shoulder and arm.
Yesterday I went in and had arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder. Was supposed to take a little over an hour, took three hours. He said there was much more damage in there than he figured. I dunno how they didnt come up with that with all the xrays and MRI's. Hopefully this will have me all fixed up. I have to start PT today which seems pretty quick after having surgery yesterday. OK the weird thing, and I bet some of you guys have had this. They put a nerve blocker in my shoulder and it killed my arm from the should down to my finger tips. I had my arm in a sling for several hours but took it out and just rested it on a pillow while I sat around. I could have jabbed a knife right in my arm and wouldnt have felt it. I sat down for lunch and used my left hand to lift my right arm up on the table because it kept slipping off my lap (so weird). I got up from the table and forgot to let my arm down and it just flopped down like a giant wet noodle. Zero feeling ... Thank goodness when I got up this morning it was back to normal feeling again. Shoulder hurts a bunch and will probably hurt more after PT this afternoon. They gave me Oxy for the pain but Id rather take extra strength Tylonal instead, did the same with my neck surgery.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got the ceiling done in the shed. Rather than corrugated tin, we decided to use cypress and tin strips. I laid on my back and took a couple of shots. What do you think of this one-of-a-kind ceiling.?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Boxed frames are a stupid unnecessary mistake. Land Rovers had the problem in the '50s and '60s. Nothing wrong with C-channel frames. They outlive boxed. Big rigs have C-channel frames. They're pretty strong I think
