Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Don’ forget your ice cream.

 

I just bought coopers for my truck...nothing is cheap

 

My uncle just came by to get some parts we worked on and we got to talking. His FIL isn't doing good and he gave him a car he's had for years. A 1968 Corvair with 78,000 miles.

He also has a Mach 1 Mustang, not sure what he's going to do with that.

 

Sucks getting old and sick...but hopefully he can get some use out of the car

 

Be sure to take a pic of ‘em driving it & give it to him. If he cherished & enjoyed that car nothing would make ‘em feel better than to know he’s provided enjoyment for others. Biggest reward in life is often giving it away.

 

His FIL lives in Indiana, I'm sure his daughter will be sending him pics.

You are 100% correct, people don't remember you for what you have, they remember you for what you gave away. And it doesn't have to be possessions

 

Powedercoater just told me the IRS came by and checked his box truck for off road diesel today. I said IRS? You mean EPA? He said nope, IRS, had a badge and everything. They told him it's $1,000 per gallon if caught.

I said I'm glad I didn't drive my diesel today, I put some ATF in it the other day so it's probably red

 

That's pretty crazy. Didn't know they had jurisdiction to do something like that.

 

IRS now doing truck fuel type check? Oh yea, they have eighty some thousand additional agents now to do it.

 

Probably the revenuers DOT

 

Wonder if they’re ballsy enough to try it with Ammo.

 

I stand corrected found this.

Look at this little canoe dolly I made! I just redid the straps to make it sit a little lower.

 

Painted some hives with my sonNew dog was out there 3 seconds got paint on his face, Kyle say dad the Oliver is drinking it

 

Well manly men, today was an excellent day to do what I like to do best - drive.

The B-I-L had body work done to his truck so a few weeks ago I followed him down, today was pick it up day. 365 miles in the project Subaru, didn't miss a beat. 28 mpg on the way down, 26 on the way back - I had the AC on.

This is a sweet driving car, confidently quick and now drives like it is on rails with the nice job the young fellow did on the alignment.

I told Mrs Green I might need to drive it a few more weeks to make sure everything is sorted out , she said "I don't think so..."

I was taught that locks only keep honest people out, if a dishonest person wants in, they will get in.

 

Morning
Test day at the track.
Gotta get the cobwebs cleaned out.
Can’t get the tires we use right now (maybe never) so after these 2 sets have there
last runs we have to go to a harder compound. Gonna suck for me as I’m going to have to
change shock and spring preload adjustments to make it work. I hate starting from scratch…

Downsized my spinning rods. Ugly sticks are just too stiff for me to throw all day now.
Need to make some more lures this winter as I added a rod to the Corolla. Taking out the fly rod
as it’s like a 9 section traveler and takes forever to set up. Don’t have that much patience for a quick 15 min throw and go.
Coffee going down
Sausage Muffin coming soon.

Have a good day….

 

Good morning Shane and the shop crew, have a great, safe and blessed Friday.
