Folks Of Interest What's your labor day plans?

Having a beer and doing ribs on the BBQ soon
Hope you had a good one.

Did some yard work Did some hot rod work in garage. Just took a shower. Now on the HAMB. Good Day!

Sorry no pictures of the hot dogs, yard or me in the shower!

 

i'm retired and it's labor day...so i had to work

 

Spent the day driving the roadster on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Nice day and the traffic was light. Already a twinge of fall in the air at the higher altitudes. No pictures, although I did shoot some video. Will post it if I can figure out how to edit it.

Here's the VID:
This is coming down off the Blue Ridge Parkway at Weaverville...to get some grub.

 

I spent the day with the chain saw trying to get a little further along cleaning up all the storm damage a couple of months ago,cut a truck load of firewood,Brenda was in charge of the burning all the limbs and brush.

It's to darn hot for a fire! HRP

 

Took the car back to the Factory where it was built 85 years ago, took a few pics.

 

Finally drilled the holes in my cab, and mounted the spear tire bracket on my 34 pickup.
Doesn't sound like much, but it took me all afternoon, and made me happy.....

 

I went to a show in the park

 

Well, we got the truck out from under the tree with no issues, moved it out of the way and set up so I can go back tomorrow and drag it home. Would have brought it back today but I offered to haul one of his big trailers to the shop since I drove my big diesel it was no problem and the ole girl needed to pull something it's been awhile!

My kids decided to set up a lemonade stand with proceeds going to Harvey relief. We live on a slow street but they did raise a little bit that I will match. The irony is while they were running the booth, I was under the house preparing for Irma!

That car is nice and the lack of door handles is a big improvement!

Is the washboard hood original to the '61 Corvette? HRP

 

I bought and brought home a 1938 Plymouth truck!! So stoked!!



It's complete except the tail gate and engine/bell housing.

 

I was off last week. Tinkered with the Ford, it needed a new solenoid on the firewall, an easy job. Back brakes on my OT Malibu. Hit a cruise night both Fridays, cleaned house quite a bit and it looks good now. My boys pitched in. I had a date this past Saturday night with a nice lady, saw her Monday and we went to the beach. Sunday was a party down the block... and back to work today.

 

A little after the fact but the wife and I told the old woman that we were going to look at lumber and went to SantaCalaGon days in Independence. The old woman promised not to try and cook and I cooked when we got home.

 

We're on vacation in Myrtle Beach this week. Spent the holiday with my friend snowman & wife. Had a great meal and fun conversation.

Talked all of my Kids (3) into bringing all of my grandkids (6) over to paint my 46 Hudson Truck, They even brought a couple of friends of the grandkids, Put them to work too. We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, ordered some pizza and had a great time.

 

I hear you,I too spent a couple of hours with the chainsaw cleaning up storm damage in the front yard and it was getting dark but all the limbs were burnt.

Are those 32 back door?. HRP

 

I feel like I missed the whole weekend, spent Saturday prepping the trailer (wheel beaarings) , Sunday the car (cleaning) and Monday a longgggg drive from Albuquerque to Dallas for the Mecum auction, time for a payday (I hope). Actually, it's only a 10 hour drive but when the A/C in your truck quits it sure seems longer! Pretty warm here in Texas.

 

I worked 16 hours at double time and a half! Hot rod $$$$
