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

[YY1]

More work on the dang screen porch slab.
Found a pocket of real strong glue and some chips to the underlaying surface.
Maybe that's why they river rocked it.
It's taken about 8 HARD, bone jarring hits with my 4x4 mounted 4 chisel to dislodge a post it note size section of river rock.
YAY!
My wife is painting the 12x12 bedroom and considering moving her studio there.
I had to spackle around a loose recep and a few other areas.

We took a break and went to lunch for our 18th anniversary and celebrated that and Cinco De Mayo "New Orleans style". I had blackened redfish with grit cakes and she had pasta Orleans with blackened shrimp, and of course a margarita. She also had a $10 off anniversary coupon.

Now back to *** busting.

Bought a solar powered fan to help circulate hot air out of the shop.
Rube Goldberged an extension ladder on top of my scaffold to see about installing it.

It actually feels more stable on top of the ladder than on the scaffold.

My wife and I went to the local Wed-night cruise, in Mt. Clemens. We were enjoying the sun, and I noticed someone walking down the sidewalk. I was almost frantic, as I couldn't remember this woman's name. [age related brain-fart] Her and her man [Brian] were checking out mom's `cuda. I finally asked her , her first name. I told her I was embarrassed, and she laughed. She smiled and said "Claudia". We all talked for awhile, and she was super pleasant... as always. When we were leaving, she yelled "Good-bye Mike, Good-bye Rhonda"!! It was something cool to start the season....

The last few years I've restored a few bikes rather than the knock down-drag out $$$$ Mopar restorations. I bought this less than two months ago and test rode it today.

Wow! I need to send you my Widow Maker!

1982. This is my 750 I did 2 years ago. I like bikes and you don't get burnt out on them like we do on cars.

Seems like it's been constant 'maintenance' at my GF's place and mine. Not nearly as efficient as I used to be and loading anything that's 35lbs or more isn't as easy on my back anymore. Past several days have been above normal temps and pretty dang humid but getting things done but looks like from right now until Monday late, I can do what I need to do on my place but today, I'm taking it easy after a pretty busy last couple of days. At least they've been pleasant!

The wife is about to subject me to working in the yard! I cut back a lot of brush and small trees coming up behind the garage,and along the fenceline! Also worked with the Mrs. in her garden.

Glad I don't have to put up with the X dictating yard work to me anymore!! I usually did it but not on her schedule lol

After work yesterday came home to see my youngest bought $3,000 worth of new tires and wheels for his truck so I helped him put them on last evening. Not my style but it’s his truck and what he wanted. Nice and ride nice..

Never been a fan of that style of wheel either and especially so when they hang out well past the fenders like that....but you're right, it's his vehicle.

Dang.....in a billion pieces! Why was it blown apart in the first place? Nice job is all I can say and that would have taken me WAY longer to put together!

 

[Curiousyellow71]

Clouds are pretty cool today..they look fake! Bringing fuel 2 the planter..finally started planting today.

 

[Builderguy]

Side job, installed new kitchen cabinets and LED lights. Have to pay for a new rotisserie and two post lift.

 

[dadsbee]

Working great finally, then I start her up and no hydraulics. Looks like it's gonna be fun tearing apart everything to find where the offshore's filter gasket material went!

 

[thehemikid]

Ouch!

You sparked enough interest that I dug out the Widow to maybe start tinkering on. Wont be on a front burner nor a back burner. Maybe a back back burner. I have a large stove. It needs work, obvious, gas tank ain't correct, etc etc,...but inside the tank surprised me.

Moving vehicles around to get to it is like that game I had as a kid.
