60+ year old thread.

I feel like +60 today...

Overdid it yesterday.

 

Hi sixtys. Back from vacation, today is 'put everything away again' day. BIL brought his open water kayaks this time. We had a lot of fun in them out on Buzzard's Bay, although I have to admit the day with the 3-foot swells got me me puckered up a few times. I should take some courses on how to recover from being dumped in the drink I guess.

I use wax on all of those too. It's in the carwash liquid.

It's great, besides there's not a damned thing you can do about it so you may as well smile and enjoy it.

Sorry to hear about your friend and neighbor. My grandmother had two strokes; it's a tough thing to have happen to people with vitality and a joy for life. We're keeping good thoughts for you Ken!

*Cough* except you aren't. We have several wannabes hanging around...

...here's one now!

 

afternoon boys....

Car looks great Tom....

Sorry about your friend Teq

Fixed that for you

Tex, so what you're saying is, is take a few ativan before dealing with any SS business?

Dave, sounds like a great vacation.

 

Susan,

Don't know what Ativan is ?!?!

Fortunately her majesty has been drawing SS for a few years and is able to advise. I just toured their website a few times and remain totally confused .... and worried considering the amount of hacking of government websites lately. I'll probably wait a few more months before applying for benefits. They ask you to "submit" at least 3 months before you intend to receive anything. We'll see.

Tex

 

Tex, ativan is a happy pill. Relaxes you

 

Welcome to the 60 thread. Grab a seat, beverages are in the cooler to your right.

Our car will be a mess after the return trip. Always has been in the past.

Glen will be in my prayers.

Ha Ha Get some extra sleep tonight, you have work tomorrow.


Susan, TY. I will probably do the Tacoma tomorrow.

 

Evening all:
Why should anything change?
Went to use the gas hedge trimmer: the piece that lets you work the throttle, and locks it wide open had come out the housing. Don't know how that happened, since I used it last yr. and it worked fine. OK: loosened a few screws and got it back where it belonged. Now I have to kiss it's butt to get it started, but do finally get it started and go about trimming. Now it shuts off after running awhile, and I can't get it started.
Then I noticed that the primer bulb had split open at the top!
So: went and got the extension cords out and finished up with the electric hedge trimmer.

 

Carl: You should be able to obtain the parts. As long as you have it apart to replace the primer bubble go ahead and clean the carb with carb cleaner. You might want to look at the air filter as well. Also check the fuel line that is in the gas tank to insure that the fuel filter is on the line.

 

Morning all:
That was the project on it last year! The fuel line had disintegrated, so I had to replace it. Guess it was only a matter of time for the primer bulb.

 

morning boys

 

Morning old farts, wannabes, and Susan.

 

Morning all.

for Glen.

 

Finished detailing the Tacoma today. A few pics for your amusement.

 

oooooohhhhh shiny!!! Looks good Tom

 

Thank you

 

Morning all:

Your on a roll Tom, looks like you are getting lots of work done.
Yesterday I cleaned the coal stove, that pretty well got me caught up with the gots to do list, "but"; now there is a new list!

 

On the right path Carl.

I guess you are still taking entries in the 60+ thread, so here I am. 65 years old and just bought my first Tacoma. 2014 DCSB 4X4. Just goes to show that you are only as old as you feel. As soon a I finish putting these nerf bars on, I'm going in and take a nap...

All kidding aside, there is nothing like a new "toy" to make you feel young again.
