She sure is, that's one of my favorite designs. Same goes for the Nassau Blue C2 parked next to her.

I told him. And he asks, where a certain address was and it was my Neighbor that didnt pay the bill. Then an hour later he called back and apologized to me and said he had a very hard day that day.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
the calm before the storm,a tropical cyclone blowing through here starting tonight and tomorrow looks like a good day to not be outside,lots of wind and rain,the tail end of what hit Florida in the last few days.i plan to pull the motor out of my truck tomorrow but today was beautiful so i dug the yard all to pieces to run some drainage pipe from one end of the house and one end of my shop.i have more to do once i finish this up and i'll do that soon if i can fit it before the weather gets bad for the winter.another productive day day and tomorrow as well if the engine is on the stand by the afternoon.i'm sure it will.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got most of the wiring run for my new table saw. Three trips to the hardware store! In the first batch, I thought I had 3/4" flex conduit. Get home, nope, it's 1/2"! Rookie mistake. I get those and some other stuff, go to the rental house and do some odds and ends. Closer to selling, yay! Had to get a sliding glass door latch, and one more connector for flex conduit to j-box, because there are 3 in a bag, not 4.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I've been up on the roof numerous times so I knew 5 years ago it was time to consider replacing it. I had it replaced sometime after we bought the home 30 years ago.
He asked so I allowed him to go up and take some pictures. Since it has a few tabs broken off and layed over it is easy to see from the street which is why he stopped by. We had a hard thunderstorm blow through last week. Lot of wind. I was in the shop at the time and stopped what I was doing due to the noise and watched it blow through. I told him due to the age of the roof there likely will be no help from the insurance. Eh, if nothing else, this is a learning experience for the young man. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Just a little over 4 gallons of syrup put up . Still have a week or two for the sap run . Once the buds pop you have to pull the taps . Sap gets a bad taste after the buds pop . The color is getting darker too the jar on the right is from the first run in Feb

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
[QUOTE=special-K;9183506 I hadn't heard about that trumped up BS, as doing a house, and an inspector came next door to a porch job. He walked over and asked if I had a permit. I laughed and said "You're kidding, right?". I asked what the fine was for no permit and he said $75. I did a heap more houses, never got a permit. I'd rather give up $75 on each job so I can jump from house to house and keep on making money rather than wait a couple weeks or more to be allowed to start, after spending nonproductive time down at the county offices.[/QUOTE]
That's why I didn't get permits. Why should I pay the money grubbing county to send their clown out to tell me if my stuff is up to par or not? My stuff isn't up to par... It's better. I've still got the oak tree stump next to the pool. It has proved to be a worthy advisary. 3 guys, a tractor, a 4 wheel drive truck with a winch, Jackhammers and saw's all afternoon. It won't budge. They're going to have to grind it. It aint givin up. I saw the funniest thing today. My buddy Sonny is an electrician. He was checking the pool house panel and was walking out and opened the gate and the entire fence just fell over. He just stood there with the gate in his hands looking like WTF? ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Spent a crapload of cash today . First picture is from the internet second is the unit I bought , my cousin who passed away about a month ago bought it last year . His wife called asked if I was interested in it as she has no use for it. My bil is buying the smaller Deere he had also about the same size of my current BX25 .
Guess I won’t be looking for another truck for a while ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I've had ants practically kill one of our trees. Son of guns bored a hole through the center of a real large, long limb nearly the length of it. I had seen some ants on the tree but it didn't look out of the ordinary. It wasn't until I cut that big limb down and into shorter lengths that I learned what they were doing. Completely inside the limb.
And again recently I saw trails in some wall studs of my shop behind the wood siding that looked like termite damage. As I poked into them I found ants buried up in them. They were vacated. ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
i was on a big mission yesterday.no time left for anything on my truck.i went to a little fishing down in south west Nova Scotia near Digby.5 hours from here to pick up a 6 foot landscape rake for my tractor.the crusty old fisherman(nice guy) big as a buick,had his son come over from next door to lend a hand to load it,another big ole boy,as big as 2 buicks with hands as big as baseball gloves,got in the middle of the rake,picked it up and put it in the back of my truck?the old fella was excited to show me his new tractor so he did.lo and behold,an old gas pump in the shed.i'll be going back soon to get the pump,anyway then it was onto Halifax and if allowed to see,i wanted to drive through my old neighbourhood and see the carnage from the big fires.we'd heard that people were being allowed back in some areas so i didn't know if i'd get in or not,but i did.what a mess.our house and shop was gone but houses on each side still there but houses on the other sides of the 2 standing,were gone?there were machines there already working and cleaning off building sites.200 homes destroyed.we are so lucky but awful for those folks.then it was off to the steel place where i had made an order to pick up,material for my latest project,a new steel clothes line pole for the boss and material for a metal workers table and metal brake i'm building,then onto The Masstown Market for some of their homemade bread and donuts,not like i need either.my Doctor told me it wouldn't hurt if i missed a meal.i said Doc,you're probably right but there's no sense risking it??all in all a big day,about 1000 kilometers so about 600 miles.it's all good.take care all.Greg
