    Phoosa and I met today. I gave him a couple of cases and he gave me some plants. We were about to part ways when I remembered to ask for the saw! I have been so busy i haven't even looked at the darn thing! Thanks!

    this is wildly creative. My brain has never worked this way. Amazing someone did the geometry and engineering to make this. Pretty cool.

    Dude easily top 3 worst ways to start a day.

    this roast is fantastic.

    Welp I think I’m about done with offroad-type mods for a while. Want to do a few performance mods again and I want to buy a trailer so road trips with with dogs and wife are on the table. Never really been a fan of RTT because my oldest golfers has a bad back hip and the wife has given the green light to an all terrain teardrop type trailer.

    I still have a secret want for headers though so we’ll see which comes first lol

    :popcorn:OK, no photo editor. Couldn't get the electrical parts this AM, so skipped finishing the wall. It can wait, so I can cut the extra off the box you see moving as I will know where the greenhouse corner will actually be.

    So, I smoothed it out mostly, laid the wire in a trench (uncooperatively - but it'll be under an inch of granite).
    20200502_130935.jpg

    Pulled out the garden edging that wrapped to the back, and curved it up to the walk.
    20200502_132125.jpg
    20200502_134535.jpg

    Poured some granite around the front and back, then started on the recycle stones between the two buildings.
    20200502_153532.jpg
    20200502_160204.jpg

    And that finally used up my decomposed granite! I guess I will have to get another dozen or so! Because it will surround and go inside.
    After my encouragement beer, I dragged the rest of the 4x4 out here, and got as far as the first side. Everything will level off that.
    20200502_184623.jpg

    And that is all for Saturday. One side short of the base completion. Oh well.

    Except no grass, those shelves... After a decade of a steel frame with plastic overwinter, I'm stepping up my experiments!
    Oh and mods, of course! Second vent, automatic openers, and louvred window replacement pieces!

    Don't they use the same frame with only a few subtle changes for the body style changes, new engine, different transmisohhhh that's a good question.

    Anyone with a third gen want to post up some pics of their bare naked bellies?

    It would make sense for them to reuse the same frame. Saves time and money, they wouldn't have to change all of their equipment. But you never know.
