    The 107 or just "tipping over quick" part?

    All the guy ever ate was peanut M&M's & beef jerky, still went 140 miles round trip to the dance hall in Pocatello Idaho every damned Friday night driving his 1980 toyota 2wd SR5 sport truck with 400k miles & not a straight panel on it!

    He parked by sound......you know CRASH we're here!

    We're in the 12 to 18" band right now - north of Scranton. Got the UTV service done last month and it's all ready to go. Also have the Maker's 46 bourbon weatherized, too.

    Send us here in dry California some of your snow. And Mark if you could send along a little Makers 46 it would make things just perfect. Be careful and be safe you all.

    A little something every chance we get.
    Evening porch folks. Yeah, we could use some entertaining weather to go with tonight's supposed wind and freeze, but we won't get it.

    Made good progress in the garage today, even with changing my mind. It's been a mess and place of last resort for all the years I was working - ended up with just barely enough room to tackle something, and then all the leftovers made their home in it. In between yard projects this year, I kept culling and selling off anything of value still more to go. Today was going to be a simple project....

    I got this old amp all cleaned up, and now it actually plays both channels again. I was going to build a little shelf / cabinet for it and one of the many laptops, but then I changed my mind so just did a "temp version".

    I was going to enclose this little corner for the project, but I cut my first piece, then changed my mind. Actually didn't have the indoor version of my grey paint, so that's when I decided this would just be temp, and I'm going to put it somewhere else.
    [​IMG]

    Now I can look up stuff on the internet without struggling to do so on the phone. So, I loaded up Sixties on Six (since I can now), and took up a new project!

    This cabinet was next to the saw stand. Cabinet is full of balls, gloves, and little kid sports! Probably will be gone in the future.
    [​IMG]

    So, all the bench power tools are moving to a new home where that cabinet was, and the mess will get "sorted"...
    [​IMG]

    New home;
    [​IMG]

    Then, I got all my crates except one stack on wheels, and moved them to the new space. Several crates have things to sell off, like the old voltmeters and such, and now, I can get to all my car care chemicals and similar. And almost EVERYTHING moves, so when I tackle the next step, it's easy to shuffle!
    [​IMG]

    I know it's not the Garage Mahal yet, but not bad for one day. I'm pretty happy for now - every little bit that gets done, lets me see what I want in the end better.

    I like seeing other people’s projects and ideas.
    One of my dreams was having a fridge in the garage. So after all these years and new house appliances I finally had one. Only problem was floor space. I don’t have anymore. So I built this.
    5318DF58-2AE4-44F2-B806-818DDD0AF70B.jpg

    I built it open bottom to store my salamander and rock salt and sand blaster so no lost floor storage.
    Got rid of two floor cabinets and had room for the fridge. Full of stuff I’m going to throw away after I retire however my miter box, mini welder, etc fit real nice. Couple of tool boxes will go. So I’ll spend a year screwing around just to get all my work stuff in big tool boxes. thanks for sharing

    Nothing like a heated cab and power angle blade to make plowing fun.

    Good morning, everyone! Let the waiting begin for the snow. We are supposed to start here sometime this afternoon - waiting for the updated predictions of how much.

    Stay safe and warm!

    I had them put in the normal heater that sucks hot air off the engine when I bought it 3 years ago. That first winter I realized that was a bad choice - it only pushes heat when you have airflow over the engine so if you are stopping and starting when plowing you get heat in spurts. Instead, I found a golf cart heater that runs off a 1lb propane bottle - that thing pumps out a tremendous amount of heat inside the enclosed cab - I could plow in shorts and a t-shirt.

    My tractor has a soft cab. Just enough room for me. No air space to put something like that.
    If it wasn’t perfect I’d melt the plastic windows. Maybe a retirement project would be a hard cab lol

    Morning all. Just a few icy patches around NC. But of course , the local news swears we're not going to survive.
