Found this while looking for some info on a vehicle poject, then
this popped up. It's probably been posted before, but probably someone
can use it anyway.

Still stuck on getting the garage up. The younger son has vehicles
parked right where it'll go. Plus one of mine. Three actually run,
however: One has no brakes, one has no driveshaft in, and one badly
loses oil. Life as usual.

I understand the schools are putting out more lawyers all the time.
Why I don't know. We've had more lawyers than doctors for some time
now. That's sad. But, no prob, I've got a new .12 ga on order, just
incase they report a rabies outbreak in lawyers. LOL

The sons have apparently started some work on the Luv. The rams
horn manifolds are off, and t he block huggers are on. That's the work
for this year. LOL

The grand-dau was six yesterday. Life is basically good.

That's like saying I actually run, because, theoretically, I suppose, it
might be possible. Not likely to happen soon, however.

Grandkids are really serious blessings, and compensation for the challenges
our bodies lay on us later in life. We're expecting a third one in about
ten days.

Thanks for dropping by, Grandpa JT.

Love your quote, JOAT.
Aren't grandkids great? ANOTHER generation to make stuff for. "Santa's
workshop" just gets busier each year, and I love it. Only problem is, I
have far more ideas for stuff to build for 'em than I have lifetime
left to do it in!
Now, you must apply the principle of REAL ESTATE to your yard. It's the
same principle you apply to a shop or a desk or a closet. If there's
something there that's not earning it's keep, it gets tossed or moved
or stored long term and out of the way. Course, you COULD make planters
or spas out of those unusable vehicles... I used to know a guy who dug
a large hole in his back yard next to a running but disabled '65 Buick.
Lined the hole with cement block, plumbed some lines from the engine
block of the car to the hole, filled it with water, and voila! a nice
spa. The thing would heat up in a matter of minutes! Kinda weird asking
his guests for gas money, tho...
Still got all your yellow tools?

Great indeed. I get to visit. Then leave. Heh heh.

Yeah, sure right. Maybe in your world, not mine. Actually, I
don't really care about the yard, except to get him to move some of
them, so I can get the floor poured. It's the shop that is the bother.
But, no realy problem there either - now. I'm going to toss about 90%
of it, then put the rest on a couple of shelves. Problem solved.

Yep, still got the tools. Neither kid will touch them. Made
another HF trip awhile back, but need to get some more yellow paint now.
I also had a batch of those big welding magnets, but failed to aint them
- now most of them are goon. Ah well, I know now - buy 'em, paint 'em.

Later
