Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I just finished my daughter's kitchen, well this phase anyway. She still needs to get a microwave/range hood fan thing and the rest of the appliances.
Once I have that in-hand I can build something to tie it into the rest of the run. Last Saturday I tore out the old box-store golden oak mess and installed these. I built them over the last few weeks and last Saturday they went in without the doors. I was still working on the paint, but the main boxes were ready. I hung the base doors on Thursday evening and she gave me one of the pulls to make a drilling jig. Today was the upper doors and all of the pulls went on. Tile backsplashes are next, but I think she is doing that herself. Stainless appliances and flooring soon to come. The dark circular smudges are from my dirty lens

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

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Back in 1970 or so B&C's car and one of Hitler's staff cars came through our town on a display trailer. I forgot just how many bullet holes are in the car, 104 maybe? Clyde sure loved those Ford V8s. He even wrote a letter to Henry Ford telling him so.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Full pressure wash on the front porch. It's so much faster now that I've been doing it yearly... Trex railing is about 8 years old now, absolutely love it over the original wood railing that blew paint off every time I cleaned it.
Then I did something I've been wanting to do for years for the 4th which is add flag bunting.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Got some wood the easy way . The rest about 3 cord I’ll have to work for the 16 footers the first two are red oak the second two are white oak . Should make some nice slabs . Crane operator said first load was 8k pounds second was a just shy of 8k . So the trailer was about 200 lbs under the GVWR for the trailer . Truck had no problem with it as it rated to pull 17k .

I worked till lunch time then we knocked off due to the heat. Great!, off early! Home early to not get anything done because it's too hot. I have a few projects on the place going, but focusing on one. But there is the digging/leveling/footers/lay block in the (cool) cellar project I started last winter. Well there you go. Not hot... except when I carry the 5gal buckets of dirt up and out the cellar door to the wheelbarrow. Then there would also be pushing that off and dumping it. So half hot and I went for it a couple hours anyway. Time for refreshments now

Nice logs!
There's a really good movie on Netflix called Highwaymen about the guys that chased B&C down.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Per my wife's request. I made a big batch of my BBQ sauce for a July 4th BBQ at the hospital. I like to make it early and let it sit for a while so the flavors can do their thing.
It has over 20 ingredients and made a mess out of my kitchen. I told my wife that my work was done and that she should clean it up since it was her idea... That didn't fly.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I’ve been monkeying around with my family this week, my crew of four have some visitors from the east coast. My grandmother, dad, step mom, and two of my brothers are here for a couple weeks. Monument valley yesterday, Grand Canyon and eventually Vegas today, Vegas tomorrow and who knows what on Friday. Been a good time so far. No pictures of Vegas yet.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I set up my pet tarantula's new digs. A lot more room than his old jar.
And of course he hid when I took the pic. Camera shy... ![]()

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
![]() Not exactly soup time of year, but went ahead and made a pot of Brunswick Stew today. Stirred through it to show what’s in it. 6 boneless chicken thighs, sautéed in olive oil & seasoned with Cavenders Greek seasoning 1 10 oz bag frozen baby lima beans 1 10 oz bag of frozen cut corn 6 diced red potatoes 1 diced yellow onion 3 strips bacon diced 1/2 lb diced ham 1 big can whole tomatoes squeezed & broke apart by hand 1 box plus 1 can chicken broth (I used Swanson) Salt & pepper to taste Started with bacon & onion. Cook until bacon is almost done, then add everything else and simmer for about an hour. Chicken will shred apart with a fork. Keep it on low and let her go for a couple more hours and it’s ready to go. You can use squirrel or rabbit instead of chicken…..probably would have myself if I had any squirrel or rabbit, but summertime ain’t the time to go eat one of them critters.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Isn't it kind of funny how we think of soup as cold weather food? Especially wet cold weather. I know it's because it warms you up inside so well. But why not eat it in hot weather? I mean, do we only eat cold food all summer? There's going to be people all over this nation this weekend standing at the grille cooking hot dogs, hamburgers, bbq... All good hot!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I just made a batch of Ox tail soup with Collard greens. I can eat it all year long. Dang those Ox tail's have gotten expensive lately.
