60+ year old thread.

Nice work Greg. I like the top and the overall design to fit the space.

Good morning. Holiday beach weekend is over. Traffic was insane at the beach. We went down late Wednesday afternoon and returned early Sunday morning missing the traffic to get to the beach. A 8 to 10 mile traffic back up to get to the Bay Bridge is normal for the 4th of July weekend. @Oldie2007 Enjoyed the pics, as always, I really liked the Bonneville pic. Today is a visit to the post office, shopping at 2 stores, gas fill up and visit my cousin in the hospital. Going to be a busy day. BTW I graduated in 67.

 

Good morning Bill.

 

Good morning all. No car show but I did attend a bike breakfast on Sunday morning.

 

Thanks for sharing the pictures, love old bikes

 

Chuck I had one of those Suzuki 500 twins, mine was gold. I was riding it on the street before I ever had a car. Fun bike, love the smell of 2 stroke.

 

Morning all:

Great pics, Kurt, like others have said, those max wedges were bad a** in their day!
That rezvani caught my eye, WTH is that, never heard of it. Looked it up on the puter and sure enough they are available, for whatever reason I like it!

Off to the dentist today, when I get home I'll be missing 4 teeth , and that's just the start, I'll be toothless when all is said and done . Oh well, had them all for about 71 years, then things went downhill fast, looks like I'll end up wearing falsies for the duration. Not looking forward to that, but all of a sudden a lot of filling's started coming out, and multiple teeth started breaking and were no longer repairable, now it's down to you do what you gotta do!

 

WOW, 49* when I got up! High today only 83, but summer’s heat starts tomorrow…90s and as high as 108 Friday! Yikes! I don’t remember it ever being that hot here! Mother Nature is an unforgiving mistress!
We actually got 1/10” of rain with some pea size hail! Every bit of moisture helps. May have damaged my tomatoes and flowers though.

Kettlebell day! Then off to do some shopping. Finally getting my warm water fishing gear loaded for some private lake fishing tomorrow my bud invited me on. He and his wife caught 20 bass each on Friday! Hoping our his luck holds tomorrow!

Have a great day all!

 

Well Baxter survived the fireworks from 7/3 to 7/7.
It wasn't pretty. Shaking and panting for 4 nights.
Gave him 75 MG of Trazodone daily, per his vet and wrapped him in a thunder shirt.
The Trazodone lasted for around 12 hours.
So I wrapped it in cheese and about 2 or 3 in the afternoon and gave it to him.
Both helped but not completely.

 

Good Morning everyone

 

@Oldie2007 Kurt , awesome car show pics

 

Turned 64 today, lol.

 

That "built" Hemi tweaks my street racer brain ........ we had a fellow streeter (1970) who had a "real job" (city street department) - and he went and bought a '65 Ply Satellite with a Hemi motor. It had solid lifters (factory std) - and he never learned to tune it himself. Therefore, assuming he hadn't recently sprung for a pro (dealer had some) to do the honors - it was meat for other big block cars in town. Chrysler changed them to hydraulic lifters somewhere after '65 to save some street cred.

 

It's an exaggeration, but it is wet outside. Little windy bands of light showers that don't even rate radar! That's all we're gonna see. At least we get one day in the 80's!
So, Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Off to the Dentist this afternoon too, Carl. Put a top on the tooth I broke last week. I have a lot of old and sad fillings too, but at least I am at the stage where most can be crowned.
Set the Sleep number up to 95 today and last night, and a lot of the hip and leg pain has mitigated, but I still walk like a zombie. Oh well.

 

Wife threw my vegematic away. Was a tough loss.

 

Happy Birthday

 

Happy birthday youngster!

 

Happy birthday Greg!

 

@woodtickgreg !! Enjoy!

 

Happy Birthday Greg

 

What does one do for fun on their birthday? For me it was spend the morning with my girl and then head out to the garage to work on my workbench project.
The bosch 4x24 beast of a belt sander.

I chainsaw milled this boad about 2011.

Finished up with a ros sander and 100 grit.

I attached the can tray to the back side of the bench.



Layed down a very heavy coat of polyurethane floor finish. Its going to soak right in.

A heavy wet coat. It'll get another coat or 2.
