Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

I've been at Gator Nationals first NHRA event of the year. Ain't seen a lick of racing yet, rain with a side of slop. Did see @StayinStock and my next haircut...y'all tighten up now...

 

Late to the poll, but anyways. I never realized how much crap I had until I had to disassemble and take away my work bench and shelves. I threw probably a 55 gallon bag full of crap. Now everything is laying on the floor awaiting my next move



So much to do, so little time. So much sh...crap to throw away.

 

Found this at the Ace next town up:


Done is better than perfect!!! No leaks either here or in the basement



Thanks everyone! Didn’t know anything about toilet flange repairs before today

 

That's one fancy thunderbucket you got there! 10/10 I'd poop there

 

Yeah, it’s super delux! I went off @vssman ‘s recommendation

Double flapper in the tank, shoots a stream just under the rim all around.

I can see why some swap ‘em out every year or so

 

Some people have a handy kitchen in their garage...

 

Nice job

You earned yourself a nice long relaxing sit down.

 

Bout a third on the spring cleaning ordeal.
You guys musta read my mind I been making trails through my garage and about done with the clutter! I need a shop desperately! The problem is I don’t wanna retire in this coastal state…..

 

"making trails"

That seems so familiar...


I have been putting effort into organizing the tool room, it currently looks like a hurricane went through there but in an odd paradox there is actually more stuff put away. The work continues.

 

no need to rush stuff...

 

I was adopted but got to meet my biological mother through my big sis who was always one to seek the truth if you know what I mean. We drive from upstate NY to Monroe NC to some backwater bean field with a shack that has shacks behind it. The kind dug in with a washing machine in the front as a flower pot type of deal. Anyways we met our bio mom who was an eccentric person to say the least and you can also say she was a hoarder. She had so much crap piled everywhere and there were “trails” between rooms and along thorofares lol. I seem to have inherited the clutter bug from her with my garage. Luckily my lovely bride has no such fantasies and makes regular trips to good will and that.

 

I didn’t know anything about flange repair until today either

 

My dad had a combover, the pull back is a new one to me

 

Evening shop

Been a busy Saturday trying to get things done and lined up in a fashion so my new weekend schedule can be as relaxing as possible going forward. Been talking with the wife as well. The new schedule has to work for her too.

Hope you all had a pleasant Saturday. Set them clocks..

 

My brother has a combover lol. I call it hanging onto the memories

 

The parking situation at the hotel is complete insanity. I am so glad I'm not driving.



Non stop vehicles coming in, one car can hold up the line for 6 others and it's on the intersection of 2 one way streets for added entertainment.

When my bus comes, it doesn't even pull into the drop off area. It just stops in the middle of the street.

 

Demo guy showed up late in the afternoon instead of morning but he did call and let me know. Says he has to do some figuring and will get back to me. While waiting on him someone pulled into the driveway about the time the demo guy was supposed to get there and started talking about the property and house, tunes out he used to live in the old house and knew the place well. It was real neat getting to talk to him about the old homeplace and who all has owned the farm. I told him to come back early next Saturday morning and we would jump in the side by side and look the whole place over. He did confirm what we thought happened to the barn, tornado hit it many years ago.
