    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    June 2021 Rain, my nemesis. The rainy season usually starts in late June and lasts through September, but it got here early while I was doing this project. :cautious: I just like this pic of me at 0730 one morning, getting ready to work again. :) We built berms to fight off the...

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    May 2021 On 1 May 2021, I had a Pulmonary Embolism which damn near killed me. o_O The project came to a screeching halt after that... for several days! 🤪 On 4 May 2021, I was discharged from the hospital and got back to work as best I could. I did a lot of sitting and planning while the...

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    April 2021 The first thing I did was get some more heavy equipment. 😝 More loads of sand arrived. While my buddy was grading, I was hauling trash construction materials and whatnot. Having neighbor friends who can do useful stuff made this project possible. On many occasions, my...

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    Okay, time for that update, but I'll recap first. :sneaky: The project was started in January 2021. The original idea was to start in January and to complete the project by mid-March 2021 which is a very dry season here. Didn't happen. :rolleyes: The plan was to fill and level the parking...

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    LMAO! Yer killin' me over here! :ROFLMAO: I found about 800 pix that I took during this project. I winnowed that down to 400, then further reduced it to 200... and this morning I found 50 more that had been omitted! o_O Still workin' on it though. 🤪

    Installing a new asphalt driveway

    I've been working on it off and on today. It's taking forever because as usual, I took hundreds and hundreds of pictures. I've been sifting through all of them, trying to get a few samples for each month. Still difficult! 🤪

    Christmas 2022 will be coldest in over 30 years

    Right? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: That insulation job is on the actual well pipes that come out of the ground, along with the shutoff valve. No spigot there. 🤓 She covered all of it, including the electrical points box on top. 🙃😛

    Christmas 2022 will be coldest in over 30 years

    Going to drop to the 20s here tonight, maybe mid-to-upper teens. We put the outboard in the down position months ago, so it's winterized. 🤓 My wife went overkill to winterize the well pipes yesterday and insulated the electrical conduit too. :LOL:

    Boat cover suggestions

    I'd like to know as well. There are no reputable custom cover makers in my area, so I'm sort of hanging out in the breeze. I'll be following this thread.

    Starcraft 1971'? 16' to Duck Boat Rebuild

    ^^This.^^ I used 3M VHB 4905 double sided sticky tape to hold the custom aluminum letters I put on my Kingfisher and trailer. It's the same stuff that car companies use to adhere badges to cars and whatnot. It's been completely unaffected by Florida's hot and humid weather. Works great and...

    Posting those old pix reminded me that somewhere in that crowd of sailors on the USS Wasp, receiving the Gemini IV astronauts, is my cousin. Article: https://www.heritage-print.com/gemini-iv-crew-arrives-uss-wasp-june-7-1965-24045103.html
