So what did you do today?

[Stevetheboatguy]

I'm more interested in keeping a vehicle functional than anything else, it doesn't have to look perfect. The paint on the new hood is in good shape and semi-close to the rest of the truck so I'm going to leave it as is.

About 10yr ago I smashed a big deer with my work car. Surprisingly I had comp. The ins company totaled it and I bought it back for $850. Needed a complete front clip a rim and some other smalls. I wasn't going to pay 3500-4000 at the body shop for a 96 grand prix. So I waited until the junkyard had a crusher coming. And drove it looking like a methead ride. Ended up buying everything I needed and then some for $100 bill. Add in $50 for some napa msu paint and it looked new again for a few years until it shat the trans and went back to the junkyard.

Do you go out surfing. Saw a few guys doing it on lake Michigan and Superior. Looked like fun if I were 50 years younger.

home from work to find another box of goodies on the porch, also picked up a keyless drill chuck to mount the timing wheel on.

The Panavise 350 is for cylinders & I'm going to make a bar mount for the Panavise 400 instead of having to flop saws around on the bench. I also have a 1/4" handpiece on the way for the flex grinder.

down another rabbit hole I go...

Tried cleaning up my 034 and 440 plastics but it was a lost cause so I sanded them down with some red Scotchbrite and dyed them.

yesterday i helped put together food boxes for 288 families and then sharpened some chains. this morning i am feeling like a much older man than i should. since i was the youngest man there yesterday it was my task to unload the heavy box which wasnt all that heavy but my hamsteings and lower back tell a different story......

I got my 440 stripped down, cleaned and the case painted this afternoon, now the long wait for the enamel to cure.

Pontoon/Tritoon weld repairs, just because your boat can handle the rough water doesn’t mean it wont crack welds…. Oh and don’t buy a Princecraft, they suck….
