Good to see your sawmill doubles as a fine piece of medical equipment.

HEY Dslpwr! yeah, any BoatUS place can give you expert advice on marine paint for aluminum. I have a 30 foot Larson Cabrio with a aluminum shell over fiberglas hull. go fast BIG boat though...

for an interior coverage you would be more concerned with having a harder paint than the hull type. lots of chipped paint from dropped tools or such.
soooooo, interlux is an excellent brand and you can research the EXACT stuff as their website is pretty thorough. and have fun- it's a boat!
jet boats are engines on a surfboard....LOL

Glad that T Rad could wander into the garage although I would say mindless instead of windmills of his mind....

yessirree FiverBob, Lot of Prayer for the adventuring son of yours.... and another granpa tag for you!

Chaikwa, forgot to put in my two cents on the beautiful red oak w i d e boards for that trailer project of your friend's. yes, T Rad, he does have more than you.

Claude Ol Dog-Master of the Garage- I will be in Michigan in August. pick your concrete spot and I will be there will all my mason tools. changed a transmission in a snowbank in a Buffalo, NY winter. never again.

Here's to ALL Father's- Be PROUD! Let your breath out today, relax; enjoy and take some time for yourself!!!! U 2 MADHAT!!!!! you have been a good father to all your boys! sgt.smith, corporal dixon, PFC majores, LCPL toigra,
heheheh hope that made you smile......

my two kids oops hubby and son are playing wii....then we head out to a trail to discover. had momma , jr and two babies (speed racers) frolicking last night and this AM just outside the living room doors. just get a kick out of seeing them little ones do about 30mph laps through the forest and back.

enjoy your BBQs Dads'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heidi off to be a slave today kinda liek chaikwa

Afternoon DTR. Went and ran an errand for mom today since she's working. Had to go to Bass Pro and pic up a fishing pole, a tackle box, and a few other things for her. She's giving that to grandpa for his fathers day gift. He forgot his pole in florida when mom moved him back a month ago.

Speaking of fishing...I'll be back later. Gonna go to the little lake just down the road from and see if I can catch anything.

Well of course not, that's why they're called crappie!

Finally got some summer here today... and ELECTRICITY! Came back on around noon. 35 hours without power and no explanation why yet. It went out an hour AFTER The storm went thru, and the storm wasn't all that bad.

Starting to think about supper.

Night shift is here. Looks like Hat'll be keeping us a little company tonight.

Claude, check this out. They had been warned about the expected flooding to shut the event down, but kept going. That spot is the overflow parking for the fairgrounds. There is a foot bridge to the main fairgrounds. The radio station leases the fairgrounds, provides the entertainment, but makes their bucks with high parking prices. Obviously they were cramming them in there, instead of incuraging them to park elsewhere in lew of shutting it down. Nobody seriously hurt fortunately. They were saying initially over 500 cars.

Yeah, i've realized thats why they are called crappie. At least the ones in the little lakes and ponds need to be called that, got a few good ones worth keeping in the Kankakee before. Might go down to the river this week and fish after work. Good to see you have power back up, I go through the same thing here. Sometimes it just goes out for hrs with no explanation, it's gone out here and the clearest and sunniest day before.

Evening everyone, enjoying a couple cold beers. Just got done with dinner, turkey burgers were pretty good.

Evening all!

Well, the kids are gone, the burgers were good, watched Gran Torino, found out the wife's sister needs to move in with us for a while, also needs moving back from Missouri and now I'm here. Pretty normal day around my house. Red, that's an ugly scene. The aerial of the cars is off the hook.

wow, what an absolute wrong decision. and for money. hoo boy. hehe good luck trying to sue- parking is park at own risk. sad other story about teen electrocuted whilst trying to alert neighbors of danger/power pole situation.
sounds like chaikwa is right to grumble at Consumers electric...


threatening but non rain day cleared off to great day for hiking. went along NY state canal trail series. great history right next to current cool lock operation, saw a tug boat and a canal boat (low cabins from 1800s to get under the passover bridges for horses, people, etc.) will put some pics up later. five mile walk, all the fishing you could handle, water was up due to rain and fish were hungry! nice to see all the families out biking or fishing for Father's day!

went to Seneca nation historic site, Father's Day is different and just cool. elders tell stories and do stuff for their kids, families. we ate waaaaay too much...promised to come back for another festival next month. dogs are part of the families, I had a ball......

C'mon fellas POST! YAY to Mickey B (you look like a welder!) for surviving the steak out!!!!! i know i know bad cop humor....
