Painted blue so just dummies.

Painted blue so just dummies.

I gotta remember that. Buy cans of blue an black spray paint. Make up a stencil saying, "inert". Hide them in plain sight.

Road trip for me today.
.
...although I should clarify, a road trip to me, is 60 miles one way

 

[fiver]

60?
back in the old days one of the kids [9-12] would have drove.

Well I still think if you cannot kick start it, it ain't no motorcyle.

I'm ok with electric start as long as there is a kick start option.....what tears it for me is when they put a reverse gear in the darn things....then its a car not a motorcycle. The first time my brother brought over his Gold Wing with reverse.....well, if you can't handle it without a reverse gear it is too much for you and you have no business trying to ride it.

Wife and Miss Tillie and I making our first camping/fishing trip down to the Columbia River today. Spring weather here: frosty in the mornings and 50* in the afternoon.

 

[JonB]

If it wasn't raining today, I might think about putting a few seeds in the garden.
Spinach, beets, cabbage, leaf lettuce, peas.
Last year, I don't think I got them in until April.

I just moved a few things into the green house yesterday.

We have a Green house on the corner of our street. It stands out from all of the rest so much, that they had to get a variance from the HOA to paint it that color. At least it's not pink, purple, or yellow!

 

[creosote]

Last summers goobermint money made our green house.


The Gable got aluminum frames with those wax filled automagic openers.
Bet you can't guess what she planted.

Flowers

 

[creosote]

Well I should tell the truth.
Only one full side was flowers



But still.

Man, Mark, I can't wait to read what Lamar has to say!

 

[creosote]

Now you know why I drink.

 

[fiver]

I like it.
it wouldn't last very long up here, but I like the timber framing and the inside lay-out.

I might wanna get some seeds from those holly-hocks, I have some from the closed type but only managed to get just a few off the one open type plant I had volunteer last year.

 

[creosote]

Fiver,
looking at others around here the snow shouldn't cave in the roof.
All the ones with a tarp plastic type are guaranteed to collapse.

I just asked her about the holly hocks. She already put them out.
I'll keep you in mind this summer.

She has so many seeds. She will have say?? 100 but only have time to keep 75 watered and alive. This Sandy soil dries out in days.

Lost my front differential and power divider twice in one year (cracked housing and water getting in) . Now, bearing let go at rear of transmission.
This could've gone into the what you doing thread, but thought it would fit in here.
The dues of the antique truck club are a bit high!

 

[fiver]

yeah there's plastic then there's plastic.
I have tried the 6mm stuff and it's good for one season, the sun [high UV light] and then the cold breaks it down halfway through a winter.
I'm going to run some corrugated plastic over the plastic pipe hoops and try a couple of different end pieces.
dumb money to do that, it's gonna be about 4-5 years worth of plastic per box in cost.

 

[creosote]

Yeah that corrugated stuff was like 23 bucks a sheet. You got to get the good stuff so the rays get through though.

 

[JonB]

mmm, I had Walleye today.
