Lois- I'm going to email you about 20lbs of extra fat I have been trying to get rid off and can't seem to get anyone to take it for free! Then I'll be back to my high school weight so many years ago- if you don't go and email it back to me!

You can consider it a late birthday present!

And the same to you Busster!

Sad to say, most all of the politicians are either on the take from some vested interest, or beholden to someone who will finance thier political campaigns in exchange for political favors. Therefore the direction of thier votes are madated by thier own personal agenda- which usually means they want...

We have a large garden, we have put one in every year for the last 7 years. The one this year was off to a slow start due to the cold and wet spring we had. We have sweet corn, snap peas, beets, 'taters, lots of tomato plants, squash, garlic, onions, carrots and a couple of sunflower plants. I'm a r...

Mr Percy and his buddy Mr Graham were notified of thier good friend, Mr Charwell's sudden death at the ripe old age of 83 of a sudden heart attack. They made plans to attend the funeral. During the service they were suprised to learn that thier dearly departed friend had made plans to be buried in h...

When you do see a decent old British double-decker on Ebaymotors, or some such place, they seem to want an arm and a leg plus your firstborn for one. And most of them are slow moving, and often over the magical 14 foot 'legal' max height allowed on most US highways. So if you find a good one that ru...

The blue old custom bus with the old Nash Rambler grill 'tail light' fins has the top half of about a '48-'54 Hudson Hornet or Pacemaker car grafted on the front roof of the bus. I wonder if the driver was supposed to drive from up there?? This has to be one of the most original custom buses I have ...

Ditto on Blu's post!

No Hard hats, no safety lines or fall arresters, but they are getting it done nevertheless- like they did it in the old days! They have lots of common sense, and many have experience building!

I am wondering how he will ever service the engine of the truck, since it appears to be a tilt cab, and the floor of the overhead part of the coversion sits too close to the cab roof to allow it to be tilted forward.
Perhaps I am missing something here

That is a really cool car- I never had heard of it before!

Hang in there Headache- it is so tough to see a parent go downhill, and not be able to do something about it. You want to help, but often your help is ignored, or overlooked or downright rejected and you have to endure the pain of watching your loved one suffer!

Rudy, are you saying the area where the posts attach to the ground will be in the basement area? Hadn't thought of that yet, I was figuring that the house would somehow be something like a daylight basement with the earth backfilled against one or more walls- I guess this is one of those projects wh...

Lois- just don't go to Vancouver to celebrate your birthday:

Is no place safe anymore??

This house project is getting very interesting! I am most curious as to how they will treat the bottom of the poles to prevent rot from water and soil touching the post ends where they attach to the ground. This is a great project to watch- go Rudy!
