60+ year old thread.

Very cool vid Jim!

 

Yea they caught me on my day off..........

I needed about 2 more mph to roll it a touch more...

 

Yeah, I noticed you were a little short on the landing

 

Sixty here. These trucks are fun even if I am old enough to know better. I go to local meets and most of the guys are in twenties or thirties. But I get good intel from the youngsters.

 

And that is my biggest complaint: I worked at the same place for 34 years and they demand honesty and integrity, yet they cancelled insurance after retirement which was a reason for employment back then..

 

I've got a brother-in-law in Santa Fe. Visited there a couple of years ago.

 

Same here DD. Once you start to modify your Tacoma it really does not stop.

Welcome to the 60 thread. Pull up a chair and the cooler is over on the right side of the porch.

 

Evening all:
Neat Video of the barrel roll.
What, no splitting wood at 23 deg. Was just standing in the river at 25 deg.
YES! It was cold!!!
But; I like these!

 

^^^^

Breakfast or dinner?

 

Morning all:
Usually dinner!
Better not post too many pics. Someone may see them and figure out I have too many fish, and that I have to share them with someone that doesn't have any. WINK (smilies don't work)????


Morning Capt: There's big and small fish. One of the favorites of mine is the Crappie. Good eatin too.
Instead of sharing the 6 walleyes I told the young guy to keep them, and that I would help him fillet them in trade for some perch they will get from an upcoming trip to Oneida Lake NY. Those perch are good too!

Just saw this in the paper. Pa. needs MORE money to fix the roads and bridges! Who would have thought that? They are talking about adding
28c more to the gas tax.
It's already at 55c a gal, so that would make it 83c per gal. tax!
We're getting hit from all angles.

 

Smaller bench is finished. The metal straps and brackets are 1/4 in steel.



Finished Bench-Small bench
