    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Okay guys, here are some pix that I already had of the winch and upright. I can get more in the daylight tomorrow if needed.

    Woof woof! :lol: I'm back on the job. :D Need some suggestions on how to extend the standoff on my trailer. It's too short and when the boat is pulled up to the rubber stop, the winch handle sometimes hits the boat hull unless I'm super careful. Hard on the knuckles too. :mmph: I could...

    Some good stuff happening

    Worked a couple hours in the garage today. Well, the boy worked and I supervised and did small stuff while seated. Per doctors orders don't ya know! :tongue-new: Got all but the 3 heaviest boxes out of the old shed. Those will have to wait till I'm able to move them myself. They're too...

    Well, I went out to the garage this morning and started to organize tools with the boys help. Started with the little black Homak box. Ran out of drawers very quickly. You know how it is... I wanted to have separate drawers for left-handed metric screwdrivers and whatnot. ;) Reached a point...

    Feeling better this evening. Had a nice nap and some scrambled eggs with Colby cheese melted in. :hungry: That helped. So do the pain meds! :lol: Was going to go out and sit in the garage, sip coffee and contemplate life, the universe and everything. But then I realized that it was the...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Hey! Should I whack this pin over with a BFH? It's definitely off center. While sitting in the garage figuring out where to arrange stuff, I saw that retaining pin hanging out. I did tap it gently with my 8 lb. engineer's hammer but it didn't budge. Should I spray it with some WD-40 and...

    Got some things rearranged. Haven't started taking stuff out of boxes yet; waiting for the boy to help me with that part. ;)

    Oh yeah, I also found out that I have a transmission leak on my truck. :cool: Already bought the parts and am awaiting my young buddy's help in getting it fixed.

    Some good stuff happening

    Haven't been able to do any work in the garage over the last few days. Too busy with first of the month stuff and preparing for my surgery tomorrow. And the weather has sucked. HOT with high humidity. Like low 90s for both! This morning is much nicer though, 71 degrees and 55% humidity. :D...

    And now the real "space" fight begins! :mad: :frusty: A neighbor gave us the two big bikes a couple days ago. They're for the boy and my wife, not me. Am doing my best to keep this kind of stuff outta the new garage. Still trying to figure out alternatives. Have already promised my old...

    Building the building tore into my projects budget so it'll be awhile longer. Besides, I still need to put that 50 Merc on the Kingfisher. Eventually? :lol: I started the outdoor work 51 weeks ago today. Planning and budgeting, etc. was in progress for months before that. Good things take...

    Some good stuff happening

    Made more progress today. First I put my little tractor to work grading the rear ramp area of the building. Then the boy and I started loading the truck with stuff from the old shed that I want in the garage. Made a few trips and I'm a happy camper. :) HOT here today! As in 94 degrees...

    Some good stuff happening

    Well, it was a beautiful 59 degrees this morning with low humidity. So my wife and I went out to the garage and sat in our fold-up chairs and sipped coffee. Watched the sun come up, listened to the birdies, discussed progress, plans and dreams. Then later my beautiful bride brought breakfast...

    The contractor came out this morning and used a gas powered saw to cut the control joints. I can't believe they weren't using hearing protection. Especially inside a metal building. :rolleyes: It only took them about 15 minutes including cleanup and they were outta here. Concrete is all...

    Concrete is in! :D From the time the big mixer truck showed up until everyone was finished and gone was just 2.5 hours. They worked non-stop and got the mud done! Tomorrow morning the primary contractor will return for a short while. I think he said that he's going to put saw-cut control...
