Got some new ratchets for the junkyard bag. The dirty icon saw years of hell but won’t break.

I came up from the wood stove and saw what I’m going to be doing soon.

But it is nice to be able to spin it out of the way.

Back together for the winter. I might strip it and paint it when it warms up. Still debating on spending $300 for a swivel base.

Craigslist and marketplace people are insane. I gave a guy an address to check distance Friday morning. Checked my messages Friday afternoon. I guess he drove an hour and forty minutes one way to go to a Dollar General. He messaged me two hours after the first message saying he was on his way...

Just measure and cut? It’s unreal how out of square these truck bodies are.

I’m supposed to do the same but I’m on here.

It’s starts sleeting so I left work. Called a buddy on the way home and he’s losing his mind because a storm is coming and he can’t get home to fix the tarp covering the house the tree crushed. I get to play fear factor on the lift and do some duct tape work. I’ll climb 85’ hydro mobile towers...

Started tearing the vise down on my basement bench. Need projects while I’m waiting on the wood stove. Don’t mind the mess. Eight months out of the year this is the catch all of the basement.

This might survive that…

He would have but I need to watch what I drink. Certain preservatives and anything with sulfites give me almost immediate headaches. Troegs, Modelo, Becks, Stella are safe bets. Funny that it affects me now when I used to like off of Busch, Extra Gold and High Life for years. I should’ve died...

I sprayed it with Gibbs penetrating oil. I was going to make wood wedges to get below the jaws to put some pressure and keep spraying. I had a really rough 4” I got loosened up this way. The guy it came from bought everything at auction then filled his place. This was sitting there behind a...

I bought a buddy a case of Miller Lite to clean my chimney. With the new stove and liner it stays pretty well clean. I didn’t want to give up the Fisher but it ended up being a good decision. Could probably clean it every three years but I don’t need to gamble.

6” this is red primer I think. I’m going to see if I can clean it off and clean up the original paint

Got this from the neighbors place I’m cleaning up. It’s locked up currently. I was going to wait until the auction but the auction stuff keeps ending up in the scrap dumpster. I’ve been eyeing this forever, it’s been in the same place outside for years.
