Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

1) I received a text that we're getting a bunch of snow and wind back home so campus is closed on Monday. Which means I get 8 hours of vacation time back.

2) We'll be heading down to @Hunterdc1's neck of the woods to Kennedy Space Center today (have I said thank you recently? ), which I've wanted to do for a VERY long time. That might explain why I'm awake at 1:30am.

 

@Hunterdc1 is going to let you fly one of their spaceships? That is awesome


Good morning friends

 

New poll

 

You guys are gonna have a blast. I'm excited for you. Keeping 8 hours vacation too

I'm putting together my topper rack today, maybe working Tuesday-Weds and I've got a green light to hunt the rest of the week.

 

Green light to hunt the rest of the week you say? If she said yes, that meant no

I haven’t ask to hunt this week, it is our last week of season, I did say the kids wanted to go though

 

I'll probably stay awake for it

Goodmorning crew. Dang I been feeling pretty miserable with a cold off/on fever...feeling like it's in my chest now like pneumonia or bronchitis.
Going to give physician a call soon as they open.
Back to work today though.

 

Hope it’s nothing serious my friend, feel better soon!!

 

Thanks, me too, getting to be a drag to say the least.
I had the same kind of cold January 2019...

 

Broke out the sheet metal tools.



A friend of mine owns a sheet metal shop and I ask him to bend some corners for the store. When we came home Saturday they were in the back of the Duramax.

 

January of 19 I had a chest cold too, coughed the whole month. Didn’t feel that bad, just couldn’t quit coughing.

 

-Feel better soon Toe, pneumonia aint anything to scoff at.

Creed-people helping people, that's a beautiful thing. You gotta keep friends like that close by.

 

Good morning crafters of stuffs

 

I thought I remembered someone on here liking old signs and license plates. I would give you this one but my son keeps it in his tool box (he's 6).

 

That's a good one!!

 

I found that one in my grandparents basement or garage probably 30-35 years ago.

 

It's definitely a keeper!

 

I also love license plates and there's an old timer at the flea market I swap with sometimes, he asked me if I knew why they stopped making license plates out of leather and moved to metal in the early 1900's.

He was tickled to tell me it was because goats would eat the leather ones right off the car.

 

Do you have alot of plates? I'd like to get one from each state but it's probably not gonna happen.

 

I keep about 25 hung up, I've gotten pickier about what I buy/keep as I've gotten older.
-Condition is everything.
-Rarity matters
Just talking to this guy at the market who's gotta be close to 90, in decent shape you can usually say it's worth a dollar a year however old it is. His partner there has all 50 states motorcycle plates from the year he was born-1962. I thought that was cool.

 

I have a '39 Missouri plate a guy at work gave me, he found it in the wall of his parent's house when he was remodeling.
