Picked myself up a new set of tool boxes on Thursday. It is quite possible than I have the longest toolbox in the shop now. It just fit in the back of my truck with a 1/4 inch to spare lol

 

[cooldood]

over compensating much?

jk

there is no such thing as too big a tool box.

 

[plowboy]

Not the first time somebody said that. If I where trying to compensate I would have gotten 2 of the long ones. The though cross my mind but that would be too darn long lol. If down the road I need more storage I can add a top box to the one on the left

I have a stainless steel one 2/3 that size I use in my lab at home for all my testing equipment.

It was a major upgrade for me. Before I had all my tools in a 5 gallon bucket. It was easy to move about the farms but now that I'm working in a factory the bucket looked pretty stupid.


In other news......

There's this too.

Yep as a child of the clans I'm a little bummed out about that. But they did have a 85% turn out of voter so it's pretty conclusive.

Canada parted ways years ago and it seem to be working out for the best.

A couple of photos taken last week of the St. James Winery vineyard just outside of St. James, Mo. Have never seen so many Concord vineyards as in this area. Thought I was in heaven.

Truly heaven. Can't wait to go back.

She might be on our money but she's just a figure head. Then again, we didn't have to go to war to gain our freedom so it seems like a fair trade lol

Wow! where were the photos taken?

Someone went to the south Pacific! Nice pics.

How did it feel swimming with all those black tip reef sharks?

Well, I finally finished the garage over the weekend. Just a few odds and ends to cross off my punch list, and then I will be done done done!

My trusty 1987 Cub Cadet 1811 bit it a couple weeks ago, started puking oil all over after sticking a ring. That ended 15 years of service since I had rebuilt it. So I needed a mower to finish out the season, which lasts here until almost Christmas.

I got out in the shop Saturday at 9 a.m., built this, and was done mowing by 7 p.m. Mowing was a dust-fest, as you can see by how the engine bay looks! I've got $30 in it. It's a 1979 International Harvester Cub Cadet 682 with a transplanted 1995 Kohler Command 18 hp dual overhead valve V-twin in it. The deck, wheels and wheel weights came off my 1811. I was butt-azz tired Sunday.

This winter I'll build an IH Cub Cadet 782 with transplanted Command 25 hp V-twin (a 25% increase in horsepower) to take the place of this one, which then is getting a loader put on it that I have stored in the barn. Don't want a zero-turn, I have attachments that fit these that can't even be used on a zero-turn.

I had just got through fixing the hydraulics on my farm tractor when the Cub Cadet gave out the next week.

Those were taken in Bora Bora. Went there and to Moorea last May. Had been wanting to go for 10+ yrs. It was everything and then some of what I had hoped it would be.

Yeah, it was different swimming with those sharks. I have another pic of a 8' lemon shark that I was holding onto. That was a little sketchy, especially out in the middle of the ocean.

 

[plowboy]

It's only a fish, how bad could it be lol.

I've had a walleye or two try and take a bite out of me, and there only 30 or so inches. Can't say I have a burning desire to swim with sharks but i would not pass it up given the chance. Just don't tell my wife lol.
