Very nice! I've always thought of owning a home with a heated floor like that.

Mini split, haven't used the ac yet but for a heat pump with no heat strips it did a damn good job keeping the garage at 62 degrees for the 2 weeks we had below freezing.

Got the 3306 from posts 676 and 679, put back together and installed into a power unit skid and ran over the last few days. I ran it on propane for about 2 hours to make sure that the oil psi would hold once the oil was good and hot. 40lbs at idle and 75-80 at 1600 rpms. All ready to go back to the field and run for 8-10 years non stop.

Gave my motor a paint job...

**Ol Blue K20** · 03-12-2021, 04:36 PM

Excuse my ignorance but why did you paint the cylinders, lifter valley and pistons?

Um... Well, very thorough.

Those pistons look good though, don't they..

Got that picture from another forum. Thought it was sharable

Richard2112 · 03-12-2021, 04:42 PM

Doin' brakes next...

It’s the latest greatest anti friction coating, funny it comes in Chevy orange!

Man kinds’ ability to be stupid never ceases to amaze me. I think I’ll pass on the brake job

Picked up a new toy.

**Boog** · 03-12-2021, 08:22 PM

Real nice. 40?

Didn't realize places were still having issues. All gun stores here have good inventory and ammo.

67C10Step · 03-12-2021, 11:04 PM

.45 auto and this store is only about 5 minutes from my house. Little thin on guns and almost no Ammo. I don’t really need Ammo though. I stockpiled that years ago when I got it on the cheap.

Bigger store in north Little Rock had the same gun but was higher and I prefer doing business local when I can anyway.

Last time I was in Big R about a month ago all they had was a few revolvers and a bunch of shotguns, and no ammo except for shotguns.

I don't really need any more guns but you never have enough ammo. I'm not doing any recreational shooting anymore.

Ft. Thompson?

Yep, you got it. I was surprised my local store was a bit less since it’s about 1/4 the size of Ft. Thompson’s. They are usually pretty good for price but their staff is hit and miss for me. Some put me off with their attitude. I’m not fielding any new calibers but just getting what I want while I can.

I went to a gun show today. I took $1000 with me but couldn't find anything that would buy....

.... Prices were through the roof. Most vendors were $60 - $65 for a box of 50 .380's.

Bought a good used holster ($10) and 1 new Ruger brand .380 clip ($25).

Yep, the world is going to H&!!

CostCo in the morning. Then worked on cutting out part of a new wood carving I'm starting. Then onto doing a little clean-up and detailing on my '05 Corolla that I'm going to sell. Great little car, but the son who has been driving it bought a new '21 Canyon, so it's got to go. Too many vehicles. It was my daily driver for 10 years, and then I retired. Everything works, but the paint (Mica green) is toast. That color is famous for it- I've never seen one more than 5 or so years old that it isn't going bad. Should have bought the white one.

Maaco can make it look good on the cheap. It won't be show quality but won't be ugly.

Eh, I'm not going to ask for a lot of money, so the paint won't be a bargaining chip. I have enough white left over from painting the front bumper on my Astrovan and the roof of my truck that I could probably sand it down and paint it white, but I'm not that ambitious. I do want to save the white to eventually paint below the lower belt molding back to the original white. Needs a little body work down there- my FiL put a crease in the right rear, behind the wheel well.

I fixed this chair for our neighbor here @ the beach. Rhett & Hadley had a blast riding it. It works good now that I got the batteries charged up. The charger wasn't working. I used my 12 volt charger and got them chargered. They need a new charger. The light was coming on but not doing anything.
