2023: What are you doing today?

[enjenjo]

I worry about spending the money for our insurance co-pay and then a few days later I take a dirt nap.

If you do take a dirt nap you will no longer worry

When things work correctly on shipments.   

My wife comes back mid morning from grocery store run with her middle sister.. I hear a few cuss filter type words.  She forgot some paper plates. I hop on Amazon , find some paper plates. She says buy them as I mention they will be here tomorrow (wednesday)..

I will be dipped , I mis read the delievery day.. The plates delivered the same day about 4:30pm.

My wife and her middle sister (76) bring home the oldest sister (85) from rehab tuesday afternoon.  That sister is glad to be back home after a month away that started with hip replacement surgery.

Can not find my hole saws and arbors... I *thought* I knew where I had put them during this down - size - moving situation.  No can do.

I have looked thru all my current tool boxes, roll cabs, service cart for the hole saws and arbors.  I never actually owned a *set* of hole saws. Kinda gathered up stuff over the years.

Kinda like the 10mm socket. You misplace it, buy another, then another. Find one, then lose both , buy another...  I have a few arbors, 12 - 15 different hole saws, so they should be easy to find?

Couple weeks ago I bought another hole saw and arbor since I could not find mine..  Started another collection of them?

If nothing else you've ensured that you'll find the other saw the same size.

I read that Steve Magnante is recovering from his brain infection..  He wants to be back to work by January car Auctions.  I enjoy his videos walking thru junkyards.. I did the same thing as a youngster wondering junkyards when my father had to baby sit me after my mother returned to the work force and she worked weekends

I decided to sell the Schwinn Twinn that I have owned about 25 years. It was hanging in a friends  garage and I bought it thinking it would be fun, and the kids would ride it.  We hardly rode it over the years, and it is in good condition, so on marketplace it goes.  I spent yesterday cleaning and making sure it was okay mechanically.

I drug? dragged? home a donor car for my Champ today. 2002 Lincoln LS. I bought it for the Rear end, but it has some other good parts on it too. The rear end is low profile, the right width, and IRS. Yes it doesn't have the bolt patter I want but that can change. Now all I have to do is get the emergency brakes released

[jaybee]

I always liked the Lincoln LS, and they sold a fair number of them.

So... a drug car? Or you had to dress in drag when picking it up?

I perused a Bronco forum and found that not unlike Model A quarters which are a half inch taller on right than left, Broncos are a half inch longer on one side. Secrets nobody tells. Makes sense because every one I remember has had the same hood alignment troubles. Not there yet on my current job, just got the first door gap established at about 1/4" all around. Easier said than done.

[enjenjo]

49 to 51 Mercurys are the same. The right front fender is about 3/8" shorter than the left one.

The Lincoln LS used to be the car of choice for drug dealers in my area.
