I know those kids too, they were (*)^)(*^ intimidating for almost ever. I've gotten to the point drums come pretty easy though, 40 years on occasion will do that. Doesn't help to be self taught though, I don't read music, and never cared to sit with a band. My only complaint is the improvement arrived same as the arthritis in my thumbs, no big deal.

There's always room for improvement, better I play the more I realize I kind of sucked the status before

never fails. They're a blast, though I only hit them about once a week, it's all my body can take

Very nice building. I am planning on building one. Not quite to that scale, but hopefully enough to get everything inside. The desert sun is brutal on paint and upholstery. I have garages that can hold 5 cars but I have so much junk that I can only fit 2 in them and I have 10 cars and a pool table. I need a building.

**special-K** · 10-29-2021, 05:07 AM

That apron really completes the garage. So nice to be just outside the doors on nice days. Great payment plan!

mr.mud1 · 10-29-2021, 07:58 AM

thanks,i knew it would look good,the guy who did it is the best around here,also the most expensive but you get what you pay for.i didn't know it would look that good,once i get the grass fixed,i think it'll look great and the best payment plan ever.take care.Greg

LT7A · 10-29-2021, 08:02 AM

That's very well done. Kind of a mud room for your garage - a place to rinse them off before rolling them in. Looks great.

mr.mud1 · 10-29-2021, 09:15 AM

yes sir,i'm very happy with it and the job he did.all the best.Greg

Made a 280 mile round trip to pick up a Western plow for my '03 Suburban. 13 mpg going with no wind and 15mpg return with a tailwind. I'm happy with that....

Nice MPG & great rig.

**special-K** · 10-29-2021, 06:22 PM

That's really good mileage for a tonner. Was that plow off another GM same style? It looks like the universal mount.

Yes, the plow was off of an '02 Chevy 2500 HD. It bolted right on my '03 2500 HD Suburban. It is a Uni-Mount.

Nice flatbed Leon.

My neighbor has a nice 69 or 70 C30 flatbed. I'd like to buy it off him but he never comes out these days. I think his health is not so hot. Too bad. He's a nice guy. I never saw it until recently. He has a lot of stuff on his property. I don't want to bug him but if I happen to bump into him I'm asking about the truck.

**72 tigger** · 10-30-2021, 08:02 AM

Nice plow! Hopefully you won’t need too much this winter

72c20customcamper · 10-30-2021, 10:27 AM

Not all today but we stack wood on rainy days . Stove has been burning on and off the past two weeks . So we used some so I'll bring down a couple of bucket loads with the Kubota

Split some and decided to take a break and do some milling . Forgot how slow and hard it is to do with a chainsaw mill . Did four slabs the rest of this one and five other red and white oak logs are going to my friends mill . Just need to help him replace a hydraulic line . That will be a piece of cake .

**Ol Blue K20** · 10-30-2021, 11:23 AM

Flatbed is looking good. Nice looking plow. That should keep the driveway clear.

**Rickysnickers** · 10-31-2021, 10:25 AM

That would/will make some beautiful woodworking projects.

Snarl95 · 10-31-2021, 12:37 PM

replaced some ductwork in crawlspace.

67C10Step · 10-31-2021, 08:50 PM

Not today but Saturday the wife and I snuck into the other Larry's backyard. Hiked to Hemmed In Hollow and then on down to the Buffalo. Waterfall was just a trickle as the recent rains weren't enough for runoff. Six miles total with 1000 feet in elevation down and back up. About four hours on the trail. Had an early dinner at the Low Gap cafe and then headed home.

72c20customcamper · 11-02-2021, 05:13 PM

Split more wood and loaded the 72 as the Dodges center carrier bearing decided to crap out pulling a load of wood yesterday . Mom needs wood 87 and still burns wood in the insert .

**Getter-Done** · 11-02-2021, 10:28 PM

That's great

You are set for the winter. I hope

72c20customcamper · 11-06-2021, 04:55 PM

Added some more wood today standing dead ash . Leaner was going to go into the barn if it came down on its own . And the deer had to ck out what I was up to.
