What did you accomplish today?

[Bareback]

Some does this did not it was just old green dog eared slate very common I guess. They only buy the rare stuff and rare colored kinds

Sorry to hear about the damage to your house. It looks like a scene from a Norman Rockwell painting. Is it a pre or post WWll construction and is it a sears & roebuck mail order kit? I’ve worked on three of those mail order houses but not one similar to yours ( if in fact yours is ) , and I have a friend who has all the designs and patterns for the ornaments.
Anyway I’m you survived the tornado, I guess you folks don’t get as many up there as we do in the Deep South. I’ve seen far too many and hope I never see another.

...any coordination or theme?

 

[420God]

A nice display to be sure.

Is there any coordination or theme?

Or is just hold my beer style?

We have a system down so no one gets hurt. We've had misfires in the past and learned lol.

Just got all the fireworks to where we'll be lighting them. 450 mortars and 60 something cakes.

Damn. That's impressive. We use to go to the reservation and get boxes of stuff. The whole family would pitch in. Never had that many though. That must have cost a few thousand easy.

Those are cool tubes you built. Freakin sweet man.

It was the first tornado in the area in 70 years. The house was in the funnel but yeah definitely not as many as the south and west do. But anyway no the house was built in 1908 has a ton of original stained glass and pocket doors for every room and free gas as well as recently hooked up to city water even though I’m like 15 miles from town. The house was originally the home of a government official that was gifted the local 800 acres after the civil war. He had the house built in 1908 for his kids and farmed the area and parceled off the land. The house has only had three owners including myself and no children till me lol. I’m getting a natural gas generac hooked up next spring.

Nothing says patriotism more than blowing off a few thousand dollars of Chinese fireworks.

Got the dryer taken apart, the parts I ordered was not what was broken. I have never been good at rolling dice, I guess I ought to take my own advice and do a little troubleshooting before ordering stuff.

I'm a lucky guy , my wife fixes all that shit !

Thanks jj, power has been off since around 6pm, right now the fire is about 5miles away, expecting evac orders soon if they don't get a handle on it.
PG&E just called and said power should be restored thur. 11pm. they don't see it getting better.

Started refinishing some mid-century outdoor metal chairs , stopped to see my sweetheart and built a " pigpen " and filled it with yellow petunias .
Retirement is cool ! My kind of job .

Framed and sided gable ends on the new shed today. Starting to think about some trim. Also saw this lord of the rings hot rod at the home depot. I think it was a 32' Plymouth.

'32 Plymouth, good eye, missing or couldn't find the mirrors? They were amazing.

So far today , I've been laying here in the dark doing my nightly routine in order to go to sleep...........get so high that I go over the rainbow . My wife and I refer to these monster hits, which facilitate our slumber, as " Death Blows " .........so here I am , wanting to get really fucked-up , stuffing weed in the bubbler inlet tube ......no bowl !
I'm getting there......the Holyland !

 

[Justin-case]

Now that the new shed is mostly built. I was able to clear out all of the clutter from my shop, which is great. I cant stand to work in messy areas, and I need to get back in the shop today to start another cabinet for the grass valley job. It will be a china/liquor cabinet for the dining area.

Flex seal as a floor liner is a terrible idea! Don’t do it.
