Red Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Too big to put next to the refrigerator where I see most of my little buddies. In the N latitudes the pond would be a skating rink some months, but with a tall bucket, skate away. 1 Link to comment

I’m going to make another trap for under the back deck at the house. I’ve got a gallon of windshield washer fluid that I’ll fill the swimming pool with! I’ll just grab this from the kitchen 🤫 and I’ll save on WW fluid! Link to comment
TEWKS Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 No, just windshield washer fluid. Not “as” toxic for any unintended visitors. A little concerned that I may be enjoying this too much on this day of thanks…. 1 Link to comment

wbw6cos Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Yeah Mike, the Atlanta airport was a madhouse. I had to go through general boarding security as I had forgotten to update my Known Traveler Number when my passport expired/renewed; I did not get TSA PreCheck. Houston (Hobby) was basicaly deserted. My rental ride - SWEEET! 2020 GT. It is in rain mode because of precipitation. For some reason, the rear tires have no grip. Tomorrow, I will get to get a feel for it when the roads dry up. 4 Link to comment

You know how you're working and into what your doing, but don't realize that you forgot something til much later,.....well, now is that time I noticed what I forgot. Yesterday I wrapped the garage face. Before I wrapped it, there was a base to the vent that, when they put the vinyl on, whoever did it, "chipped" the extruding part of that base. It's where the cedar siding butted up to at the top, under the base of the triangle. Anyway, I had to "mill" the board that went up there with my $50 table saw, angle on the bottom, angle on the top, two wedge cuts at different lengths, all on the same board. I finished that, got it in place, then commenced to wrapping it up. I also had to "reinstall" an outlet box that they removed and just drilled a hole through the center support. Got done with that,.....finished the wrapping, told myself to cut the wrap where the outlet box is,.....and as you look at the picture,....do you see a cut, 'bout center of the whole thing, for an outlet box,.........no, you don't Now I gotta go back in the damn attic, bring my vibrator and poke a hole,.......ugh!!!! If you look a couple of pictures up, you'll see where the hole is for the outlet box!!!,.....it ain't there for the new siding!!!!! You've done well if that's the worst mistake you made m'friend! Looks good! 1 Link to comment

There's a picture of a sneauxman on the hood of my mom's 69 Mercury Marauder (ya, with the 429 Interceptor motor), he was about 2ft, tall. Got an old happy snap somewhere of it.

roadscholar Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 It is kind of an interesting old sled, complicated for it's day that falls somewhere between analog and digital. This one has a couple cosmetic blems I'll get to eventually but I like the later AMG wheels somebody put on it. I disconnect the battery (easy, it's in the trunk) if it's going to sit more than a few days because it has an electrical draw but I knew that when I bought it. Problem is the top has to re-synch itself every time with the proper sequence of windows up-down, steering lock to lock, farting at the exact right moment and I don't always get it just right : ) 1 Link to comment

Rougarou Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Geez, how long does it take to throw a building up in the land of Mass.? Seems like this is taking a bit too long. Our company landlord scrapped ground on a new facility the first of October, our GC will be in the building in March, and we'll have it operational by August. 'bout 70k sqft manufacturing facility with 20ksqft office area. But your building is purdier than ours will be. 1 Link to comment
TEWKS Posted December 23, 2021 Author Share Posted December 23, 2021 Saying February now. No real matter to me because I’ll be staying in our south sub station. Being old has few privileges so you gots to grab whatever is available to you. Had a look at the apparatus folding doors they installed. They look very narrow from where I was standing. I foresee a mishap or two. 1 Link to comment

Hosstage Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 That brings back memories, not all good, I used to get deep into repairs like that all the time, it would keep me up at night until I got it back together and running.

Had an '83 Crown Vic that the water pump went out.,......this was back when I couldn't afford tools, but I did have an adjustable wrench, some pliers and a myriad of sockets, none of which were the correct size. Did the damn pump swap in the apartment parking lot. Had I known that the base had an auto hobby shop with all the toys one could have imagined, it'a made a world of difference. 1 Link to comment
