We moved another load of stuff from east valley storage to the west side storage.  This work is wearing us out.  My low back gets po'd and then spasms start and it gets worse. We take a couple daze off to recover.  :o  :o

Yeah, the trailer is not full. If I was 49 instead of 69 yr old , that would help. LOL

I use the trailer winch to pull the heavy stuff up the ramps.  8)

Henry is a Chrysler with the long ram intake from the early 60's. I'm guessing you know that. :)

My wife and I went for a bike ride.  At our age, that is big news.

Looks like the same model Columbo drove, but his wasn't a wagon.  I cleaned up the connections on the small JD lawn tractor today, greased the zerks and aired up the tires.  I rolled the lawn to get the mole hills down, so I can see where to put the traps.

I took the snow plow off the Big JD, then found the battery dead. It's kind of buried in the lower front end. Terminals were corroded, and the date sticker said 8/15. It's a 2015 tractor.  I've never had a small battery last that long, so I guess I can't complain about 8 years service. I bought the tractor used in 2020.  I'll get a new one then put the end loader back on.

Sent the VIN for the chopper in for a canada wide VIN search . This bike does not show up as registered anywhere in Canada as far back as '95 . Going to find out what that means shortly . I was hoping it showed up as licensed in Alberta as that is where my son lives and it might be able to license without any inspection . If licensed in another province it will need an out of province inspection .  :o

Sanity recieved another wicked blow today, of unprecedented proportion, at work. Lost months of mind repair progress. Really don't want to continue on with anything I've just been rejected and abandoned, tried and convicted with no defense. I know this ^^^ is unwelcome and thats what I am. Job is secure but I live in fear of my temper when justly aroused. Just know theres been another problem and I won't be fit to write. Already ain't, this is best I can do. Ignore and continue. If you need me I'll be here under the bus. Sick and tired of humans.

Hmmm,  I checked. Yes the 403 Peugeot car was driven by Columbo, a 1959.  I had forgotten that.  I read that Peter Falk was not happy with the vehicle choice for the show


I think I have mentioned that the OE Perry Mason series the vehicles are mostly convertibles and Ford products. Mason was driving a retractable Ford in the early seasons. It was a  stick shift car too!

I bought another AD truck and I need some help getting it home.  :)

I wish I had completed this project prior to April Fools Day.  A fun project that I made from left over junk parts.  There is a little more work to do and then I will list it on Marketplace .

That ^^^ is nifty  :lol:

Omigosh, deep exhale. I grew today and fell off the stress hook. Buried the hatchet with a good coworker and shook hands, restoring the boss's faith in my adaptability. Basically I passed a diplomacy test with a female half my age. Lo and behold, relationships strengthened all around. A clash of weaknesses was solved with patience and clear heads. Deeeep exhale. Om. :arrow:

Been funner romping on the blown car this week. 56 cab got shiny clear underneath and topside may get shot tomorrow. I am still fussing over the other parts. Whew.

You said a mouthful, CK!

Good thing I shave weekly because I made it by the hair of my chinny chin chin.

A collective sigh of relief.  :)
