Happy Birthday,Tom.

Stan in SC

Thank you Stan!

You got yourself a mess there WB

The 80# is great! It would be what I'd put on any boat with a 24v plug. If Ma lets you spring for the terrova, get it. Thank me later.

You're not late. Right on time

I'll try to do that Zone happy b-day!

HBD Tzone! It's time to add to the fleet. A year is simply too long. Me thinks you've gone into remission. An intervention may be necessary.

Happy Birfday Dave! didn't you already have a few this year?

Dave, you're the only one I know who has 14 birthdays in the same year! HBD, again Dave.

My wallet has already had an intervention with me. I'm working on saving up for one. Going back to glass, and hopefully staying there. So, I want to do it correctly.

Happy belated birthday T.....

Looks like you could use some mats to help with flotation/weight distribution.

HBD ND! Should make you 54 or there abouts for the year. Another year with this many celebrations and you'll be ready for Social Security.

There is clay under there a ways and that carries up pretty well. If not for that I would be in trouble.

It is all flat, smooth and seeded into soybeans now.

so the kitty litter helped?

I think I can speak for everyone in that we're dyin' for a Chickenbuck picture fix. It's been way too long! All work and no play make ND a dull boy. 😉. - with all due respect to Stephen King and "The Shining"

I'll see what I can do.

If life is a roller coaster, lately it feels like I've been pushing the coaster car. Forgot what its like to ride, not even thinking about the ride, just want to get it up this next hill and watch it go.

Greetings from the hot rod shop.




This is where you will find me and the boys most of the time.


Nathan is getting some welding experience on some delicate and difficult areas. Joey is quite the sweeper and helper.




The new rotisserie is making life much easier with a big project such as this 69 ford mach 1 mustang.




Our compressed air is now made up of a pair of 5 hp 2 stage compressors from a MN based company called C-Aire.


The orange one is the new one. I like these because the pumps are very heavy duty and they run low speed, around 700 RPM.




Here's the old one alongside the refrigerated air dryer they feed the shop through.



The tanks are 60 gallons each, tied together for 120 gallons of compressed air storage. The 2 units are staged. The new orange one is the primary, if it isn't keeping up then the blue one kicks in and helps. The 2 together will make 30 cfm at 175 psi. Which is a bit more than we need to run the new media blaster from Texas Blasters.

The old one on the right I now retired, thankfully.



That's pretty much all I know today. We have a few other new tools that are contributing to the shop's speed and abilities but its just more.boring work stuff. Lol!

The car outside the shop is a 1950 Ford. That was from MY era.
Dave, I am very proud of what you have done for whatever that is worth.

It's trap night,wanted to give my old single shot,Coast to Coast hardware shotgun a try.
It was my older brothers first gun,bought it from him a few years ago,finally fixed the foreend,decided to try it out.
Only made it a few rounds,all the screws in the foreend tore out,jammed the extractor.
Wound up going 4/10 with it before it fell apart.
Walked back to the truck,got the bps ,went 15/15 with that.
I tried anyway.
