Folks Of Interest What's your labor day plans?

Are there any annual Labor Day shows or event's you plan on attending/ HRP

 

Danny,,,I'm staying home and soak up the Indy Nationals today...some fine drag races

 

Labor around the house on Labor Day. Getting caught up on the pick list. Setting tile, installing baseboards, replacing the shower valve seats and cartridges. O&F change and A/C compressor swap on the daily, run the chainsaw in the yard for awhile. Maybe grille out tonight. Tomorrow; back to work to get some rest!

 

No car shows for me and just get a machine out and have fun...

 

plumb the back up 1/2 mile dirt engine I have on a stand.

 

Since I took my deuce pu for a long ride yesterday today I am staying home and cleaning the shop so I can start another chassis tomorrow.

 

Lou,what the heck is he Museum of Clean?

BTW the 5 windowis a beauty ! HRP

 

My Labor Day usual. Fiddle with the ribs, fiddle with a car fiddle with ---- so on and so on, then family and friends. These ribs are from a few years back, those bones poking out the end mean something! Willys is getting close, a few more loose ends and a few bugs. Should be beating the snot out of it shortly. Have a great Labor Day all!

I'm replacing the floor of my open trailer. Last time I went to haul a car, a wheel fell through.

Danny I am going to hibernate in the shop taday. Visibility is about 2 miles. Smoke from fires elsewhere but decided to come visit on this weekend. Play with my new welder I bought meself fer my b'day.

 

Hershey is a month away time to start making the pile of parts. Lime Rock was Saturday had a great time. Happy Labor Day! Bob

 

Today is beach day in the Florida Pan Handle and firing up the grill tonight.

 

This is a resort town, the crazies are out on the lake getting drunk. Going to hide in the house an watch the drags.

 

Just got home from work. They called us in at 7am and cut us loose at 10. 3 hours of double time = Car parts! I'm getting ready to formulate a list of parts I'll need for the body I'm hoping to have in about a month and a half.

 

Sitting on my a$$ in front of the computer reading the H.A.M.B.!

 

My plan is to go a get an old f250 wrecker fired up so I can drag a 64 Ford F100 out of the woods behind my friend's dad's house that he gave to my wife. It has a giant oak tree laying on it, but no damage to the truck. Hopefully we can pull it out with no other issues.

Attend Drinking for Jesus Church Festival. It's just down the road.

 

I will be cutting some firewood & scrubbing the inside of the enclosed trailer for a trip I will take a couple of hours out to go to Mom & Dads house for a small get together with family. I am very blessed to still have both my parents!

Be Safe & God Bless

The Museum Of Clean was constructed by a local business man that made his fortune inventing cleaning supplies and has stores all over the world. The building is a Smithsonian of cleaning machines etc. from the beginning of time and very interesting...

 

Started getting the shutters ready in case Irma decides to follow the the latest track.

 

Had to Google that, nice website. Bob

Smoke is as bad or worse here as it is down at Burn out Bobs a couple hundred miles south of me. Worse I have seen in my life, like standing in the middle of three campfires with all the smoke coming at you.
Work day for me but I only have to work 3-1/2 hours today because the airline is cutting flights so the crews can have holiday time.
Went to a laid back event Saturday but it didn't have many Hamb Friendly rigs. Would have gone to a little event 35 miles away that a few Hambers hit if I wasn't working.
I did get to test a couple of my toys that go bang out in the middle of the sage brush on the way back from the show Saturday.

 

/ATTACH] I dunno...so far I'm just sitting on my fat ass in front of this computer. I should set some sprinklers in the yard...Maybe I'll go out to the garage this afternoon and do some more wiring on the coupe...or take a nap.
BTW, we have smoke here too....this is a photo of Omaha taken yesterday.
UPDATE: Fab'd a 14 gauge cover for my floor-mounted turn signal switch in the coupe.

 

Replacing the front crossmember on my 36 frame. Picked up a better one from a buddy yesterday. Not exactly the most relaxing thing to do on Labor Day.

 

Been cleaning out the back bedroom today.......yeah that room.......the room everything gets thrown in for storage until later. 6 contractor bags full of junk hauled out, where does all this shit come from?
Took a break and went out and threw a half assed wash job on the semi. More like wash off the road film and let it go, doesn't make a lot of difference since the paint is so bad.
Start the new work week about 5PM, at least it will only be 4 days this week.

 

Update... Came out easier than I expected...

 

Update 2. Cleaned up the "new" crossmember and bolted it in. Only 2 of the 10 bolts needed the holes dressed up to get them in. Time to BBQ some brats!

 

I'm retired. So in the broader sense, that means I don't get any holidays or days off and I'm doing what I do every other Monday. I'm independently poor and living off the investments I never made. Plus my wife doesn't have a lot of money either so she's working her part time, summer job from noon 'till dusk today. She drives a shuttle full of semi-naked, wet people for the local water park.

 

Got a brisket in the smoker, Texas style beans simmering on the stove, and some fresh corn to cook up for dinner. And a #%^*+# head cold, so I feel crappy. Went for a long drive yesterday, though. Did some cleanup in the garage on Saturday.
