Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

One of those Caterpillar RC's would make cleaning up after the dog much more fun.

 

Fargo Taco, sure
Likes shorts and crocs in winter
He likes donuts too

 

I’ve been holding back as much as I can.
But I’m icing down my wound every 2 hour hours and the Percocets are working well.
I’m going to go into to work for half a day tomorrow. I need to get out of the house

 

So I’ve been puttering away at my poor investment… I mean three wheeler. The previous owner couldn’t get the front axle to screw in with a hammer, so they used an angle grinder instead. I made a thing to help weld it up so I could turn it down.
I had to make a new axle spacer as well. I’m pretty sure this chunk of metal started life as a chunk of #9 rebar. I’ll see how long it lasts before I’ve got to buy a bit of stainless.

 

Your reduction gear is awesome, good thinking!

 

I wonder how long that burnt out drill motor was sitting on the shelf waiting for a second chance to be useful?

I'm guessing putting that to use gave him a 10" chubby that couldn't be pushed down with 2 hands!

 

I have things that have been sitting around for years (decades ) that are "just too good" to throw out yet not worth anything to sell.

Growing up poor makes one very conservative.

 

You don’t have to give all my secrets away!!!

 

Lotta truth there! Sometimes I wish my grandparents were here to see how much I don’t have to save anymore

 

My mother lived in the same house for the last 56 years of her life, things there remained virtually the same all those years. She didn't see wasting money on new things when the old ones worked just fine.

This apple didn't fall far from the tree, I bought this place over 30 years ago, the people who sold it would recognize just about everything.

Re-model master @Delta09 I ain't.

 

We've changed our place to suit our tastes, but once done we don't replace anything unless needed

 

The people that used to own my place came by while I was mowing the lawn one day. Very nice Folks. They drove up & introduced themselves all right ‘n proper too so I gave ‘em the grand tour. When they left they thanked me for the trip down memory lane but went on & on about how I change the place. All I asked was they change their mailing address as 20+ years of “moved, return to sender” is gettin’ a ‘lil old.

 

I may or may not have repainted a couple rooms twice in 3 years and am already planning on a kitchen cabinet color change...

 

That's my boy!


More power to you man, I hate painting...

.
.

...well, really I hate working on houses.

Ah, hell - I don't really like working on anything anymore, just want to cut my grass, drive around, listen to my music and nap in a sunbeam really.

 

Not one of these I hope but you never know. You already have a car with a Cold light.

 

Well if you are getting technical I have a few cars with a Cold light...


One of these would be neat, Ford powered too.

 

X2! What my family did then is what they now try to implement “recycle”!

 

A lifestyle I can only dream of!

 

Good morning shop men and ladies, hope everyone has a great and blessed day.
