I found out yesterday that my son wants to have the '90 F150. I've got some work to do to it... He's moving into an apartment the first of the month.
I'm excited as hell to have the house to ourselves. My wife looked at me when I got home last night and started crying... All her babies have moved out. Our daughter is only 90 minutes away at college and she admitted that about half the time our son is a real pain in the backside.
I've been saving that pickup for 5 years, waiting for him to wise up. I keep telling him that men need a pickup truck to haul/tow stuff. He still doesn't get that concept. But his scooter isn't much fun to ride in a downpour.

My son Harley still lives with us, but it's by our choise. Harley was a child diabetic (at age 8...) and he is my best friend. When we bought this house and shop, we put him as an owner also. This way when the wife and I are "gone" it all will go to him without going thru probate.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 43.7, sun is shining at the moment but it doesn't appear it is going to last long at all. Some nasty looking clouds floating out to the west of us.

Tooling will come slowly........ I need to find a cheap way to get a bunch of tooling from Charlie back in Maryland. More important to me now is some step blocks, dog clamps, stud's and nuts..... A 6" face mill would let me shave heads. I must have a boring head with tooling. Now I'm starting to drool..........
I'll do the gears the same way I have before. Weld them up with hardface rod, grind and file the new tooth to a final shape, then heat treat the gear.

Good afternoon/evening Oregon. One of those "1 step forward, 2 steps backwards days". Somehow, I managed to get a tractor stuck in the mud today. What a mess................................

Didn't take any. Was covered in so much mud that I didn't even think of touching a camera and ruining it. It appears there was a blow out in a field tile. Right side of the tractor went down fast. Left side was on pretty solid ground. Felt like I was on a ship that had been torpeedeed and had developed a terrible list. Thankfully I was on dad's itsy bitsy tractor so that when the folks that lease the fields showed up with a "real" tractor, it came out like nothing was wrong.
