Stop in for a cup of coffee

-
Damn, I am just crushed. I just got word that Dennis Hogan passed away. A great guy, a senior partner with Hogan/Hansen a The CPA firm my wife was a partner in. He loaned us money so I could get started in the tool business. Always a nice guy and respectful. 80 years old, he and his wife walked past the house twice a day and in good health. He tipped over in his kitchen over a cup of morning coffee.
Sorry to hear that Mike.
 
I found the poles/spreaders on Clist, drove quite a while to get them, wanted to stop in Elma and get a bite to eat at the Rusty Tractor : ) Anyway, netting was on Amazon. I have 25 feet of schedule 80 pipe, could get several done as it just fits and can go inside the aluminum pipe until it narrows down at flange. Can't buy steel on the island though so will have to go off island to purchase another stick to finish.

Well, as I impatiently wait on motor mounts... getting the rear wheel cylinders taken care of.

Drums came off very easily... few bumps with a rubber mallet and out.

Interesting things inside to included a mud wasp nest and cobwebs...:wtf:

Left side adjuster cable had rusted through and just fell out when I pulled the drum. Had a spare one in the salvage drawer so a win there.

Good brakes matter.
 
At the coffee shop now drinking coffee while she has her makeup done. We are going to a wedding party for in Vietnamese Dam Cuoi. Starts at 6:30. But usually they're no longer than a few hours and then you're out. No all night drinking session tonight. Pretty happy about that

Good Morning All! K-cups this morning, went out to dinner last night for anniversary (33) and neither of us set up the coffee!
 
Well yesterday was a small victory I thought. She had decided we needed a birdbath and a couple really big flower pots.
So off to the first place and it was a zero. Off to the second place and I sprung into action. "Hey we're going right by the gun shop and I want to show you something, plus they have a couple cute shop dogs" She agrees.
We walk in and I introduce her to Ammo the shop dog. He's all wags as she talks to him.(distraction is working)
I go to the counter and ask about a SnW model 69 2 1/2" 44 mag. Yes they can order me one.
She comes over and asks if I'm getting another gun? I am I said, and she replied get what you need. Really??
Mission sucess and we're off again looking for flower pots.
Yes we found exactly what we needed and was surprised how dam heavy those thing were.
Side note the dinning room table, chairs, and buffet table we ordered a year ago were finally delivered yesterday.
