Looks like an MB vintage Willys, but I could be wrong.

 

early 40's , most likely the MB.

 

An MB as a first vehicle is pretty awesome. I’m sure it was frustrating at times, but I’ll bet it was stupid simple to work on.

 

at that time, it was broke down more than it was running. That was over 30 years ago and aftermarket didn't exist, internet wasn't invented yet, I was broke as fuck and dad thought it was safer and cheaper on his insurance if it stayed not running. Biggest problem was rust in the gas tank clogging up the mechanical driven fuel pump with the glass globe.
Thing had a top speed of 50, downhill with a tailwind.
Was like driving a contraceptive.

 

Small world man, I work at Webber Middle and your daughter is amazing. I think you could work with her to use silverware with greater independence she has done very well during lunch times when the food is correct for teaching (maybe not peas). I think it is super cool you take her camping I'll look for campsites with horses and share them if I come across them

 

Yeah, I can see how no aftermarket support and not much money would make an MB more of a bummer.

I’m biased, but I always thought the early Kaiser CJ-5s were the best ‘true’ Jeeps. The AMC Jeeps were cool, but once they started throwing in the straight six and the V8s, they just started getting longer and bigger and haven’t stopped yet. That being said, the Scramblers were pretty sweet. Or the Willys wagon...

 

Cool! Yeah, we need to work on silverware! It’s getting there but not what we’d like it to be.

 

Get her something with fat handles to control easier than a standard fork or spoon. She is a great kid

 

Just painted @Stig prinsu bars....

I felt it was inappropriate to use bbq paint, so I just used regular rust oleum

 

Also Asurion has their shit together for phone insurance.....

Made a claim yesterday at 2 pm, and the phone is out for delivery today.....

 

Next your going to tell me they replaced the starter button on the floor with the headlight switch!!!!!!

I did just sign up for model t driving school with my father in law.

 

Why in the hell I have one green side and the other has yellow spots. Remember I’ve never delt with a lawn my entire life so this is something I’m trying to learn. Seeking advice from natives. I did fertilize the lawn with this last week. Same on both sides.

 

Burn it all down? To start again. Better yet rip it up with machinery and let it regrow

 

.

do you have a dog?
Nevermind, i see it's the front yard. Give it time, it'll green up.

 

Ok but if I end on the news “Pissed off Marine bulldozes front yard because TW advice” I’m blaming you. So you know.

10-4 Ghost Rider thanks. Yeah I threw in the towel with the back when I looked back there and saw a field of white puffy flowers everywhere A project for next year I guess.

 

Ray does that side get more shade?

 

Spoiled whole milk is the best thing you can spread on your lawn, the bacteria promotes the breakdown of waste and supplies nutrients to the plant, plus it softens the dirt.
Buy a gallon of whole milk and leave it out to spoil. Should be good and rank before you use it. You can run it through a garden sprayer. It's cheaper than actual fertilizer, doesn't burn the lawn and actually works.

 

You can do mine, plan is to rent a tiller in the late summer and blow mine to bits

 

Never heard of that... Learn something new everyday

 

Yes the green side get’s a lot more for sure. It sits under two full trees. Well for most of the morning until the sun passes 1:00 or so.
