60+ year old thread.

Morning 60+

 

Yea, I cannot lie. I have occasionally partaken in harmless pranks in my day.
A few customers found their way onto my list. It was so much fun back in the 80’s….
I have stories….lol

 

Nice Job Sir.

So satisfying when things like that work out.
Ariens are awesome machines. I love mine.

I only did one this year. Just had too much going on.
It was a mouse invasion. Don’t know if you saw pics on that..

 

When I was a kid, I thought that Ariens was the only one that made snow blowers. Up north that was what everyone had.

 

Good morning fellow Porchatonians!!!

 

Mornin 60+

 

Good morning all.

Her family Christmas party later today. It's fun but there goes my whole day.

 

Morning folks

 

Well give then...

 

Welcome

Nice maintenance work to get ready for the winter.

At least you did your best to ward off snow. I need to do the same to my two blowers this week. Pulled maintenance last year and it did not snow. Time well spent.

Good morning. Just going to chill today and not do too much of anything. Pulled some pork steaks and half smokes out of the freezer last night for dinner tonight or tomorrow night.

 

Take a few days to type the “Diane Story”.
Still think of her often. One of my best, if not the best, customer.

 

Yes I saw that Mike, enjoyed it. We are a lot alike on many things. I'm a professional grumpy old man too, lol. Just effin tired of people and their b.s. and I'm a hopeless tinkerer, gotta keep my hands busy. But I'm not much for working on cars. Always seemed to wrench on motorcycles, snowmobiles, small engines and bicycles.

 

Oh yea. SAME…
Just added a 5 cubic foot freezer downstairs but put it on a dolly so I could move it if I had to.
Installed a led outside wall switch for the cedar closet to make sure the light is off
Just fired off the downstairs spray booth and sprayed the base coat of my first winter lure.

So

Busy

LOL

 

I have a story too, but not one about tricks played. We had a member of a famous band that came in fairly often to have vehicles serviced, and his wife was often with him. And sometimes she came in with a car by herself. The woman was spectacular. The service drive had a code they used over the intercom to alert the mechanics of unusual beauty on the service drive and they used it when this woman came in. I don't know if her looks were natural... or the product of a very skilled plastic surgeon's effort in body sculpting, but HOLY!!! One day she comes in with her Corvette, and some kind of problem, and she parks the car right in front of my "office" window/door. I had the best seat in the house as she gyrated around in her halter top and tight short, shorts, looking beneath the car, crawling under, and trying to point out whatever it was that she thought was the issue. Thank you Gawd...

Sorry to anyone that thinks appreciating great beauty is insulting to the person being appreciated.

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Well, find out where the CFP "chips" fall in a while. Horns gave it everything they could. Only loss by 4 points in a shootout game - well, every team has there excuse for not being perfect. In the meantime, it's a beautiful day for ignoring a beautiful day, because we get a Lions game!

 

sixtys/wannabes/tinkerers. We're halfway through a very wet and dreary few days here. Just warm enough to not be snow or ice. I'm trying to decide if this is better...

Speaking of tinkering, and Ariens, I tinkered around with replacing the battery in the ZT mower yesterday. I'm not exactly thrilled with Ariens. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...ter-heater-talk.649569/page-586#post-29360886

I put a motion sensor in one of our closets so that the light comes on when the door is open, and turns itself off after some period of not seeing motion.

 

Yea I was thinking of that but them I wouldn’t need a switch so a unused switch would tweak
My ocd unnecessary stuff in a circuit lol

 

WOOO and HOOO!



Making a rat rod out of truck? Nah!

 

Your paint booth and mine are a little different, size wise..

 

Yours, I could fit around here somewhere! My friends, not so much! Two pieces of cardboard make this my paint booth!
