What are you doing today?

[58 Yeoman]

Hey Tony...I went to Walmart to get keys cut for my '63 Ford; no dice.  The guy did tell me that if I couldn't find any anywhere, to tell him and he'd bring in his own machine from home.

I was in RP Lumber in my town (2500 pop.), and I saw that they had a key cutting machine.  I asked the guy if he could help me, and lo and behold, he had the blanks for both the ignition and trunk.  I got four keys cut for under $6.  Try the odd ball places...

Cutting tubes out of the Morris Minor car roll cage.

Slow progress, scrap it or something

I have 2 drag car projects in the shop.  I think , 1 too many

what's the other one?

btw, got an Ace hardware store there?
they did mine for the thing I bought last weekend...

the key cuttin guy at Lowes , suggested Ace Hardware. The Monte new key works. Old key was worn heavily.

Drag car projects=

1962 Morris Minor 1000 sedan

1962 Falcon is finished as a drag car - street car.  Finished as its gonna get. I may (?) fix up the interior seats a little bit on the Falcon or change the wheels. I hate to hurt 51 yr old patina

All the parts I've blasted have 2 coats of epoxy on them now. I did that outside this morning. it's very rare to have a no wind morning in this part of the world. I have 3 other projects for today. I got the "labor" part down good.

This afternoon I cleaned carbs on a Yamaha sport bike. They're pretty compact and not fun to work on. I made a jet holder and screwed the blocked pilot jets into it. I heated them with a heat gun and with 150lbs of air, I finally got them cleared. The orfice in them is around .010. The owner came by and left with a big grin.

I started to get ready to begin to commence to putting "old people" bars in our master bath tub/shower; have not used it since we moved in because of the lack of them.  In the process of vacuuming up dust and drywall leavings, I burned up my old Dirt Devil vacuum that I have had for over 25 years; stinky!  Kind of makes me sad, that old thing and I have been pretty good buddies for a long time.  Another day tomorrow.

The wife and I have been staining siding and trim on the house for the last few weekends. Yesterday I replaced one siding board on the south side that was getting crispy and screwed down a bunch of other places. Short galvanized deck screws hold a lot better than siding nails once the thin cedar starts to curl. Pre drilling through the siding boards prevent splitting in most cases.

I'm cleaning the 32 again! It's 102 degrees in the shop and I'm happy. I'm getting a little more summer. Tomorrow is the Hooker Ok. car show. It's been a great day the last few years. I expect that to repeat.

  One would think that by this time the word would get around to the other scorpions that they are not welcome   :?:  :?:    

 Perhaps these are scouts for an upcoming invasion  :?:
