Jagee Jan 23: not sure I want to spend Savage Axis money

See above for Feb 23 revised Jagee.

Quite an improvement!

In January I didn't have gun money...my bonus was pretty nice this year. Buy the upper and the stamp and still have plenty leftover.

The problem is, the gun will be gone before you make a decision.

Go back to Texas, nobody asked you!

Morning folks.

Little Frankie only got up once last night with her ear infections. Mama and I were both frustrated because she didn’t want held, she didn’t want milk, she didn’t want a snack, changed her diaper…. Nothing. All she wanted to do was lay face down on the floor and cry… thankfully mama was able to get her to go down finally…. She still fought it, but she finally gave in.

Received another part of our Yukon build last night. Floor liners. I’d been wanting to get a set of Weathertech fitted plastic mats for it. However I dug around to see if there was anything else out there since they aren’t cheap… Found the Smartliner on Amazon, reviews good, compared specs. Everything pretty much the same, except the Smartliners have a lifetime warranty. Will get them installed probably this weekend.

One does not simply ask Texas…. Texas asks itself.

I was -5 in ‘87….

Today is engine block prep and cleanup for a 1938 Chevrolet 216ci inline-6 for a ‘38 Pickup. We currently have 5 engines apart for rebuild in our shop….

View attachment 258734

I bought a 37 Chevy truck many years ago. The 216 had frozen, and the block was cracked. Found a bigger stovebolt and swapped it out.
The funny part, was getting rid of the 216. Tossed it in the dumpster at work with the help of a few buddies. Ten minutes later, the truck showed up to pick up the dumpster. It was probably his first stop of the day, because he was empty. When the 216 hit the bottom of the trash truck from 15 feet, it shook the building.

I need to get the family room project done so I can get back to my '98 BMW IRAN (Inspect and Repair As Necessary) project. Next up is the driveshaft rebuild to (hopefully) cure a driveline vibration. Then, I'll overhaul the cooling system.

The family room is coming along well though. A major milestone was reached over the weekend with the header over the back window being replaced. The second story is now properly supported again. I didn't like how it was built originally, so I beefed it up a bit going back in. As built, an 8' header was supported by a single jack stud at each end. It's now resting on a pair of sistered studs. Next up is a couple of sections of top cap, then I replace a floor joist. The challenge on the floor joist is that it's 18' long.

Two is always better than one. Thats what @MindfulMan always tells me....

I’m being tasked with my first bathtub install. Replacing the old person step thru soaking tub our house came with… Would anyone here need one of those? Works well!

Went to the doctor yesterday.

Making small talk while she looks through test results.

Doc interrupts her own sentence and says, "we should do an EKG now?".

"Now?" I respond faintly.

"Yes, now".

End result was the EKG is fine and I now have proof of a possessing a heart.

My reasons for sharing this is we've been discussing ages recently and I would advise those of you under 50 is to stay young, healthy and in shape....

I'll second that. It's far better to maintain good health than it is to try to regain it when older.

In '87, we moved down to near Indianapolis, from Knox. I was in 8th grade, and this was my 4th school district. We were in Knox for less than 18 months.

@Ruger_Ronin I too was into Transformers (still am), and Thundercats at the time.

Morning all.
