Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

The truck is a 1948-50 Ford, the Case tractor

 

First, thank you Stock for providing some good pictures to work with.
Second, why isn't this in your driveway yet - never too late to learn something new.
Third, imported vehicles aren't really my first line of business.
So let's see what we can find...

Most recognize the iconic Toyota Land Cruiser J40 series.

The rear barn doors added in 1975, our subject has them so 75' or later.
1977 models removed the front door vent windows and added the rear ones so 77' or later.
1979 models had an updated square style headlight bezel so 79' or later.
The model was discontinued in 1984.

So 79' to 84'.

 

These have a screw in them

 

When I saw the top of the picture with the big PVC clean out plug I thought it was bad news in a sewer kind of way.

 

Previous owner added that to house the black/gray water pipe

 

Thank you, good sir

If I had money to burn I'd figure out something to do with it. In the meantime I'm hoping his daughter will gift it to me for being such an awesome neighbor to her dad for over 3 decades. The fact that he and I have never spoken should mean alot to her.

 

The Corgi race was a bust. I went out to the blue line, my wife was back with Fritter about where the goal would have been. She (eventually) barely made it 10 feet away then turned around. It was loud as hell in there and I'm sure there was a heaping pile of sensory overload.

No Corgi shots but here's where we were. Pretty nice place to watch a hockey game from. Especially for free.

 

Damn.

Was looking forward to some Corgi excitement.

 

My Back is busted!!!!! Late last night around 2am I was working in the shop and finally had enough with the location of my sand media for my waterjet machine. So I moved 45 bags at 50lb each across the shop.
Well, today I forgot that I told the wife I would get soil and compost for her raised garden beds. So I had to pick up 25 bags of soil and compost, load it in the truck, and wheel barrow it across the yard to the garden beds.

 

Get this man an ice pack

 

We left Canada Feb 22, 16 days ago. Added up my steps to date, just under 245,000 or 138 kms, or 83 miles so far. Still lots of big walking days ahead, including the festival tomorrow. I've worn the same sandals for 98% of my walking, I wish they had an odometer.

 

I’m more of a Heat man. Laying on the hot pad right now

 

20min ON/OFF….what my physio guy told me. If only it were simple hydraulics

 

That's just gonna make it worse in the long run.

It feels awesome with that heat while laying and doing nothing, but it's only encouraging the swelling.

It needs cooled to slow the inflammation.

Regardless, you still gonna be at 1/4 throttle for the next 4 days.

 

Nothing like getting a half of a week’s workout in one day.

 

I’m glad the heating pad works for you. When I have tried heating pads before. I always seemed to feel better. After the heat was gone, I would be more swore. Ice was not any better. I find that if I get somewhere that I’m comfortable, then I hurt less.

 

Good morning guys

 

Good morning everyone, have a safe, great and blessed Sunday.,

 

Good morning everyone, I hope you have a pleasant Sunday despite losing the hour.

I’m envious of towns, cities and states that don’t buy into the BS. Yeah, I’m looking at you Arizona

 

Speaking of dog races, this is spectacular. (Fun fact, the Border Collie and the both types of Corgis, Pembroke Welsh and Cardigan Welsh, are in the AKC Herding group.)
