Evenin' All!


Nice day today. Went up over 40* today. No jacket needed. Got up early and put the winter tires on the spare truck just in case I need it this winter. Pulled the battery and covered the thing too. just in case. It ain't much of a looker (beat up '94 S-15 Jimmy) but the thing is glued to the road in an ice storm. Much better than Mama's T&C. My truck just gets chains.....

I'll light the burner again to soften the sludge.

 

Boy, talk about a dead breakroom. The smell of the "coffee" must have driven people away. Was going to make a fresh pot, but don't know how the remove the semi solidified stuff out of the pot to make room for a fresh batch. Tried lacquer thinners, gasoline, and sundry other solvents, but may as well have used water because nothing even leaves a mark. Marc lit the burner under the pot, but noticed that do nothing to soften the mess. What is in here?

 

Mornin' Stan

Apparently someone forgot to add the anti-gel to the coffee....

 

Morning.

ofcmarc,that's too cold too soon. You're a trooper. Get some good coffee sludge in you.

Polaraco, I'm thinking of some aluminum U-channel or similar and cutting that to length to attach for drawer pulls. Though I'm really certain what I want. I'm considering making handles out of wrenches.

 

Morning DTR faithful! and watchers too skeered to post!! lol


Blake- hey that sounds like a kid's memory being made!!!! that has to be very cool-
flying out of elmira is not, prop jobs and a lot of prayer....
thought you were farther over East coast side near philly?
massive oil/gas filed operation all OVER PA...wow!

enjoy your time home, life is precious! involve a lot of hugs...no more kids. LOL kidding

shorts ~ wrenches would be cool, but AL would go with the drawers. wow- we can actually consult about fashion now, can't we?

Cincy HAS to be busy moving, (tough)
so let's all cheer him up by calling him every ten minutes to ask if he is busy?

no wyo Jeff and no chaikwa? does Jeff have sheep? hmmmmmmmm

son home today- yipeee! Bday cupcakes don't seem to fit with jeep mechanic and expensive whiskey request but i did it anyways......

w ii n d y here! and still fall's beautiful colors!!! (no snow) heheh just for Marc.....same temp though.

 

Morning all. Just a fly by.

In off the road after a 3-week work/vacation/work run.

Coffee seems the consistency of concrete but the color of tar. Left a jackhammer by the counter if you want to chip off a piece of coffee to suck on.

Think I might look at a Ramcharger as my next work vehicle. Saw an ad for one that looks interesting.

Later.

 

Mornin all. It is a frosty morning in he shadow of the Rockies. Not quite as cold as Alaska though. Coffee that you have to nibble on isn't such a bad thing. At least it won't spill when you are driving. Today's job jar includes mowing the lawn one last time and trimming around the fence posts and such one last time. It is amazing how a little tuft of grass left along the driveway can start a snow drift when a January blizzard comes calling. Our first year here we didn't know that and we ended up with 4ft high drifts all do,wn the driveway. Learned that lesson the hard way.

 

Don't make me cry by using good wrenches. . . .

 

hey Jay Safe travels or rest- wow ramcharger for a daily driver! you love your gas station or travel where there ARE no roads....good luck.

SeanTall! yup, same thought hubby just had, one last mow. now that he is done with mounting the plow on the tractor for a quick connect.....yup gonna be a cold winter by the way the aninmals are acting..


polaraco, you REALLY don't want to see a midwest guy who builds tables, furniture, walls out of old tools then....saw it in farmshow....

 

I've seen them. . . Old tools not so bad as using a brand new set of SK. But she could use Craftsman tools and it wouldn't bother me a bit.

There's plenty of garage sales out there. . . Barns. . . Just stay out of my garage

 

yup, cleaned out the barn this summer- everything organized.
love my tools, hubby has his own but uses mine cause he can find them...got to change that ...


shoudl start to look for vlchek (?sp) tools like they used on ****** jeeps, some 'ford' brand too... have a pic ofa 42 ****** tools set. place about 50 miles away has all old tools but he is an 'antique' dealer...prices are not reasonable...

 

I haven't made drawer handles out of tools but I mark very popular coat and tack racks out of old horse shoes and bar stools out of old rims. Those are SOLID bar stools.

 

Getting ready for winter here in Denmark too, just sprayed my truck with wmo this afternoon, to keep the salt away from it, they do use ALOT of salt here, making even the smallest amount of snow pure hell to drive in.
Changed fuelfilter and oil on my dads nissan, IŽm waiting for my filters from GENOŽs, theyŽll be here soon, then IŽll get it done and be ready for winter.
Good coffee can always get better with snaps, just put a coin in the mug, then coffee till you canŽt see it, then snaps till you can see it again, and youŽll be juuuust fine.

Slev

 

schnapps perhaps? any flavor in particular- never tried that before with coffee.....

buttscotch schnapps in hot chocolate for the french Canadiens!! merci beau coup! love that stuff when up there....

three guys and a jeep, parts everywhere! i snuck in some paint here and there. tailgate, fenders hood, side panels and hinges done. probably three shades of pearl blue due to matching a dealer's poor paint job. clear coat some other stuff.

down to exhaust bracket/clamp fitting needed for inspection, then DMV.
son is very appreciative, good to see him do 97% of the work!
