    Willie lives on

    Saw Willie along with Lucas this past summer, was great. Can't believe he still on the road so much at his age, but not sure he knows any other life.

    How cold is it?

    I was out and about doing building/home inspections today. -17 when I started and -9 at the end of the day, wind chills in the -35--45 range. Cold temp and wind sucked quite a bit, but the 3-4ft drifts of snow I had walk thru were even worse. We got about 20" of snow from 2 storms late last...

    I had the same type of slip when I routed mine out. Used a little auto body filler with the router plate in place and it is flush all around now.

    Football all weekend inside because the heat is coming back again. Bonus for the wife and I is that our daughter is coming home from college for the weekend. She's only been gone 3wks but it seems much longer. The wife had a hard time with the transition, but the last week was much better. KU...

    Today is National Code Talker Day

    Vaughn, just added that book to my Amazon list...cant wait to read it. There are probably tons of other stories from every war that won't ever be told. Glad this one is.

    Things are a schemozzle at my house...

    Always ask for an estimated time of arrival. Subtract 30-40 minutes and clean accordingly. I'm only 51 but I've learned/been told what to do. ;)

    Restoration VW Bug underway

    Leo, my mom and dad had a 411 Fastback while they were stationed in Germany back in the late 60s. My dad took it out on the Autobahn a few times to see what it could do, but it started to shake real bad around 100MPH then was promptly passed by several high end sport cars. :D When they moved...

    New to me jointer

    Picked this beauty off of FB marketplace for $60 a little over a week ago. Owner bought it new, used it a few times and stuck it in storage. Pretty sure it's from the 80's, but haven't looked to far into it yet. Needed a good clean up but works great as far as I can tell. I'm happy!
