What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

I thought he was circling a problem with the TV...or evidence of photo-shopping.


...and if by "parts counter", you mean "bar", then OK.

Sell what you will NEVER use and make it easier for them to spilt cash, rather than load your old stuff, that just became their junk. At one point I had a basement and an oversized four car garage that looked like that. I was a hoarder all my life and I liked it, till I broke up three households and realized my life could go on just fine without 8 of everything. I had backups for backups, incase the backup went out. Trust me, no matter what they say now, they will be overcame when they walk in there.
 
Haven't done much in 3 weeks with this shingles crap. On the down hill run but wherever the rash was is real sensitive now. Anyways, did a light workout yesterday and actually don't feel bad today. Have also been doing some organizing too but nothing heavy duty just yet. Went through my 'utility' drawer and found 6 retractable utility knives and 8 tape measures! Decided to hit that drawer since it was packed and wasn't easy to find anything in it and once everything from the top was removed, I could finally see what all was in it! I've made up an excess tool drawer some time back and it's starting to fill up again.

Lets just say I'm starting to take a liking to those new big garbage bins they made us switch over to where the driver never gets out of the truck!!!! I'm personally certain that they're doing nothing for a better landfill situation.... :lol:

I have a few hammers but they are all different sizes and weights. Still have the long handle hatchet (18") that I used to deck houses in the late 60's and was still using it for that when I got out of the military. Dad had it and wasn't using it so asked him if I could have it. Could set an 8p nail and drive it home with one easy whack lol. It was great for chopping ceiling joists that wasn't trimmed by the framing crew. Never did like using a skill saw to do that with.....and never could get the framers to do their job. After trimming all the joists and getting the first row started, I'd lay as many boards as I could all around the house and then get a framing hammer to go at it. Did a lot of decking for wood shingles. There's that word again. Ya don't see wood shingles anymore though.
 
After work today, I need to pick up my son's FIAT 500 from the mechanic. It needed an O2 sensor, but I had found an oil leak, which turned out to be the power brake booster sucking oil from somewhere - I'll find out where today. I pulled the airbox to get at the sensor; and found oil in front of the booster.

EDIT: The problem was the vacuum pump located under the brake booster. They don't leak when the car is running, but puke oil when the car is off The booster was good.

Then, I really need to get on my shop! I've got crap scattered about from stuff I've been doing since April, and now, I can't find half the stuff I need. With my balance issues rearing their ugly head recently, it hasn't been fun working on anything. But PT is helping some, thankfully! I have two more sessions, then we'll determine if I need more.

On the electro-mechanical nightmare today. Selector will move for even number selections but not odd. Every morning the GDaughter runs right to it and has to dance to Eco Beach so what's a guy to do. Tore the whole thing apart trying to figure out the clutch operation. Damn near gave up.. bumped a switch right at the front of the mechanism in plain sight to find the guy that refurbished it didn't tighten the lock nuts on adjuster screws.

1948 Seeburg M100A converted from 78's to 45's. Still running the original tube amp with a little modulation board added for a bit better sound.
