If the same situation had arose, I would have bought the property too, lol. I like that area around Rainier. Only problem is the heavy traffic now going through there as more and more people take the bridge into Long View to get around Portland.

Was driving the Toyota last week after finally getting it back together and after about 20 minutes the temp gage started to climb pull over and it’s squirting out the crimp seam . Bought one from Rock auto on Thursday and it was here Friday . These radiators are dirt cheap and I can see why plastic tanks crimped to the core . Got it in today after going to a car show this morning . Actually was an easy job . Took all of an hour start to finish.

I didn't work on it, just dug out my other '67 C10 from the corner of the storage building and posted it for sale. I am coming to the realization that time and funding aren't allowing me to get to these projects and they may be better off in someone else's garage and maybe getting worked on.

Got popped in the mouth by a trophy header and almost fell off the ladder moving the headers from one wall to the next to make room for a TV set so I can watch DVD's while working on my truck.

All I had to do was slip the headers off the nails first before removing the nails from the wall.

Took the grandaughter to see Big Boy on its heartland of America tour. Let me tell you she is BIG, six hundred tons big. The largest steam locomotive in North America & the last one operational of 25 built.

I looked it up. It is a 4-8-8-4. Says it runs on No. 5 oil now.
Residual fuel oil: A general classification for the heavier oils, known as No. 5 and No. 6 fuel oils, that remain after the distillate fuel oils and lighter hydrocarbons are distilled away in refinery operations. It conforms to ASTM Specifications D 396 and D 975and Federal Specification VV-F-815C. No. 5, a residual fuel oil of medium viscosity, is also known as Navy Special and is defined in Military Specification MIL-F-859E, including Amendment 2 (NATO Symbol F-770). It is used in steam-powered vessels in government service and inshore powerplants. No. 6 fuel oil includes Bunker C fuel oil and is used for the production of electric power, space heating, vessel bunkering, and various industrial purposes.

That would not fit on my N gauge track.

It says ther is one on display in Dallas. I probably saw it at Fair Park when I went I lived there.

Those look like the Black Walnut trees that grow here in TN.

The Squirrels around here have to Sharpen their Teeth to eat those nuts.

Heck I'm picturing some beautifully grained Black Walnut gun stock with a polished blued barrel and receiver.
Maybe a pre'64 Winchester Model 70 chambered in .30-06 or something.

Yea I like plinking!

That legless chair is gonna be great for brake jobs.

All the pics you post of gathering wood it seems like you would have a literal mountain of it. How much do you burn over the course of fall/winter?

I know you dont use all of it for burning.

Any veterans that are receiving VA medical care will relate to the following.. Others may not understand..

I had an appoint with a Community Care Dr., but the day before it, they called me an informed me that the VA has not sent them the authorization For Care renewal. That's the 2nd Dr. in 3 days, telling me of the VA's delay.. So I spent over 3 hours on the phone with Community Care.. After heated conversations with a VA supervisor, I got both renewals put in place and new appointments scheduled..

I don't know which is more work, installing a 465 four speed or talking to a government supervisor..

A couple of friends use the VA for their medical. I've been to the VA a couple of times back in the '80s. The service was OK. I have a good HMO so I'm leaving that money for people who really need it. One friend keeps telling me to get my tinnitus checked and get a 10% disability like he has. I would have saved money on my sons' college and university tuitions, but that ship has long since sailed. I did use the GI bill for my first house, and to help me get a 4-year degree. I don't know if I'd want to deal with then on the phone like that. I guess I could turn my wife loose on them. She's like a pit bull.

Had to buy a new battery for my Chevelle . Been a good battery for 13 years but it wouldn’t hold a charge and failed the load test . Bought a regular battery to replace it . Heard nothing good about the new red tops .

Not on my truck, but with my truck.

Cleaned out the garbage from the garage and hauled it all to the dump.

I got some room to tinker around in there now.

Tomorrow a convertible ride and lunch on the deck somewhere. Going to be 80 degrees and sunny.

I went and had lunch with my youngest brother today up in Bellingham, an hour and a half north of me. We are both very close to our birthdays, he'll be 55 and Ill be 65. We weren't super close growing up only because of the age difference. I had a couple of kids and was divorced from wife number one before he had a drivers license (back when everyone wanted their license when they turned 16). I gave him a call the other day and said hey lets do lunch and catch up. We went to a place up there on the water and what I figured would be an hour lunch turned in to three hours. It was nice catching up.
