Keystone State Thread

To all the gardeners in PA, the long term forecast shows 20's for most of PA on 27th into 28th this month. Be prepared.

 

My wife's perennials are looking imperiled.

 

Good morning fellow Pennsyltuckyvanians!!

I managed to pick something up on the trip to Florida - been pretty much laid out for the past two days. Really tired and achy. No fever and both Lynn and I tested negative for Covid. I've just been going back to bed after walking the dogs the past two days. Feeling much better this morning!!

We ended up with 2+ inches of wet packed heart attack snow yesterday. By afternoon it was totally melted off the driveways and it should all be gone today or tomorrow. Looking forward to the (eventual) warm-up.

The pool looks ready to open, right?

 

Weather has been so wonky this year I haven't even tilled the garden yet.

 

The Pollening is upon us.

 

Pretty common in old vehicles that sit over dirt, the floor rusts away and the windows make for a good greenhouse.

 

That is a heck of a day -- hope today is better and pup is well.

 

Hope you & Lynn feel better soon -- pool, probably not this week...

 

Hope you're coming around.

 

It already started here. The black truck is yellow on the top side from pollen, and white on the sides from the salt they put on the roads Monday. Friggin' weather this year!

 

Custom two tone paint job.

 

It's getting run through the touchless with undercarriage spray before I head into work. Frame is too clean to be letting that crap sit on there!

 

Cosmoline job this summer.

 

Not going to be possible on this truck. There's a couple spots of surface rust popping through (welds mostly), as the rear differential and front lower control arms. The rest is spotless. Whole lotta work to repaint those areas. Probably go with Wool Wax yearly on this truck. The 3rd gen is coated in Cosmoline, but that one will probably rarely be driven in the salt now since the 2nd gen has better tires...

 

Get that new shop built and you can get a lift!

 

There you go spending my money again

 

Always glad to help bud!

I like to see other people build things, makes me feel vicariously productive.

 

Always interested in a better mouse yrap than fluid film. Been hearing good reviews of Wool wax . What's ur thoughts? Is wool wax lanolin based , heard same company makes them both.

 

I've never used it before, but I think it's thicker than Fluid Film. It's worth a shot!

 

Me too. I have one that start and runs great but does not generate any electricity. The other needs a fuel line (I think).
