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

i went to an estate auction sunday,managed to drag home a bunch of signs that will go up in the shop,from out of a mine,appropriate since this is an old coal mine town,a Jiminy Cricket lunch box with Huey,Dewey and Louey,a 1932 Eveready battery calendar from 1932 and a Motorine motor oil enamel sign that loaded sideways and i don't know how to fix it but you get the idea?a tin friction hot rod car, few old treasures.great fun,almost as much fun as working on my truck.

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

Great stuff. Does that hot rod have a friction "motor" up front? If I recall correctly, they did and made sparks you could see inside the engine. It's in great shape. Tin friction cars were the first Japanese cars I knew about, through my childhood. European toy cars were so much better quality. So once the real Japanese cars came on the market around here, about the time I began driving, that was my impression of the real cars until shown different.

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

The friction motors wear out. That thing's in great shape. Very complete, hubcaps, bumpers.

Talk about the weather all you want. I'm going to buy some new tires!

They drizzled metal eater on the roads a day in advance for the brief flurries we had pass through the other day a cold front came in. It had been 70*. Roads are prepped for the next one, I guess. Supposed to maybe break a high temp record tomorrow, mid-upper 60s. Then another cold front

Ahead of it's time, FWD! What next? Friction powered motor vehicles?

Ya me too . Guess you can tell from the ads I was searching tires for my Dodge . When I plow I iuse chains because the tires are getting hard with age there's tread left but a little snow or mud and the truck dont move . Even with the front and rear no spin axles.

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

No matter how many, if they're not grabbing...

We had this stuff last year where the tires would start spinning in drive when I lifted off the brake in 2wd. So 4wd was not much better. I don't think that was the tires as much as condition, but they are worn out now.

Post that picture again of the house you jacked up and put a basement under. I'm still in awe of that one.

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

Didn't work on it, but used it. Still helping clean up the shop. Today's work was to load up for hazardous waste recycling. This will be the second load with the 70 and 2 loads with the Nissan. 30+ years of various paint cans, and there is still a good bit more. Getting close to being done cleaning it out. On the 3rd dumpster, but headway is being made.

The old guy still works good (the truck more than me. )

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

That's hazardous waste? Huh. I coulda swore they sell that stuff right over the counter to any paying customer. All it says on the can is don't get it in your eyes and if you ingest it just puke

No truck today. The bike did double duty. Toy Run and then our Back the Blue. Weather held out just fine. Good turn out on the run, which means a bunch of happy kids! If you want to see our run, here it is.

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

Discovered that a small water leak on the roof of our house has turned into a larger leak. The roof was replaced in 2009 and held for several years before the roofer patched it the first time. Looks like it will take a bit more effort this time but not until the weather changes. For now it's big blue tarps held down with bricks and a box fan in the attic trying to dry it out.

Wasn't that long ago the county would take your old paint and use it to paint over graffiti. I don't think they do that anymore.
