Nice one Larry. DeWalt is one of my preferred brands for tools around the house. Very nice!

Just seeing what everybody's up to.
Sun is shining and I need to get outside and get a few things done. Then I'm gonna fire up Ka'Bluey and run around town for a bit. He hasn't been out of the driveway in a couple of months.

I got a fifth of Stag setting in the cabinet I got for my birthday, and a fifth of fire ball I got for Christmas.

And a half drank fifth of fire ball, half fifth or wild turkey 101, and a half of crown apple...

Damn you'd think a alcoholic lived here.

I was going to get some Fire Ball and forgot all about it.
Well at least I remembered Red Stag and Southern Comfort.
It's rough getting old.........

I don't drink a lot of beer unless we hit a party most of the time.

Speaking of Wild turkey I will be taking a shot or 3 of that tonight to try and kick this colds ***.

Good to hear everyone made it thru Christmas and prepping for New Years I don't drink and could not tell you what is in the cabinet
Believe it or not I worked 3 years at an adult beverage company that had bar nights every Friday and only went to 2 of them.
Then again if you showed any signs of being drunk (anytime, even on your time) no more job!


Good news I was able to get so time in on my project Christmas eve day. R&R motor to install the motor plate. Then using the engine hoist placed the nose back on the truck. Hope to get it lined up and bolted down this weekend.


Then I get to use this on a few dents. I got it just before Christmas.

Little tease where the project is at now.



Every one have a Happy New Year & be safe!

Thanks I have never used one either I am old school and drilled holes for the puller.
The passenger door has holes from that type of puller and thought it was time to move up a grade ;0)


Will let everyone know how it works when I use it.

Hope everyone is doing well. I've been slowly chipping away at this flooring in this house. Almost got the hallway done now, and hope to finish it up this morning. Then I'm heading out to pick up Mary and her Jeep to head to dinner with the family and then ring in the new year, nice and quiet like.

I can't believe a week and a half of vacation time has already passed. This is week two of having the guest room and the laundry room completely emptied. I sure am missing my washer and dryer right about now. I've got everything moved into the den, so can't even get to the fire place and tv for the last two weeks. I'm just glad I didn't start in the kitchen!!!

Everyone be safe tonight if you are heading out.
