Dropped some door off at the auto salvage and saw some stuff

I’m getting tired of fighting everything trying to get anything done. I got my mechanic tools pretty good now trying to get some stuff to keep up with the jungle. I was hesitant on the blower and battery saw but they are great. I was going to but the hedge trimmers new yesterday but the trunk...

Got some birthday cookies for the dogs. They smelled good so I took a chance and they taste pretty good. Not quite as good as the commissary cookies you get at Family Dollar but good.

Sat up here watching the turnpike. My co worker held his breath too long a few times and I think he forgot about me… I don’t know why it’s sideways

I don’t know what this is but it’ll be a neat coffee table. I want to make a wood top with a glass lid to bring it up to height and be able to display some stuff.

A piusi ex50 transfer pump. I disassembled it to check the brushes. Couldn’t get it back together the way I took it apart. Pulled the vanes to try to separate the armature to assemble it a different way. I pulled the meter and the rest is probably going for scrap. They say they aren’t...

This will be my poor wife one day. I have so much just in case material here. Anything from 1/4 plate to 6” square tube.

A frozen mass of wings because the local Mexican restaurant can’t make a menu in English.

I watched rescue 911 too much as a kid. I have fire extinguishers all over the house and a pile of these by the wood stove. If the basement hits 175f there’s going to be a whiteout. I figured if there’s a chimney fire I can throw a few in the smoke. I need to put extinguishers in some of the...

I did a raccoon rescue. The guy who works at the place said he usually does it but waits until later in the day because the raccoon doesn’t like to wake up early. I thought it was dead until I beat on the dumpster. It looked around like it had no idea what was going on. He said sometimes the...

I haven’t been to an auction in years. I’d go for one thing and end up with two truck loads. It was the beginning of the end of junk moderation for me. My first house was built in 1928 and I furnished and decorated inside and outside with 90% period correct crap. There’s so much still in boxes...

UPDATE: She hates it… it was free, new trash cans aren’t free My wife wanted waste can for the bedroom. Perfect can from the tin pile.

Tractor Supply was blowing out Reese stuff, Advance Auto has stuff I might need cheap and I got three MS290s that i shouldn’t have bought. I buy stuff that I think I’ll need. I found five 20’ 3/8 hydraulic hoses with 1/2 swivel ends in the garage with some other shorter hoses. There’s probably...

The tire are still down so that’s a good sign.
