Concrete Action!

Finally got the concrete for my shop!

Last Thrusday, a truck rolled up about 2:30. I was supposed to get two regular size cement trucks (not sure how much they hold, but I ordered 11 meters.) but there was a mixup at the yard and they didn’t have 2 trucks available, so they sent a trailer

Finally, shop progress.

As you may or may not recall, the shop was moving quite slowly. Well, it was winter I guess…

Since then, The Yank came buy and turned the pile into what looks more like a base for a shop. There is way more gravel there than I need, but most of what I don’t need is . . . → Read More: Finally, shop progress.

Got some gravel…

Time for a shop update…

Recall if you care, that I put off pouring concrete last year to wait for some ‘free’ gravel from the plumber. Well, my next door neighbor needed some gravel and has a buddy that hauls it. So we can get it at wholesale prices and delivered for free.Sweet deal! I’ve got . . . → Read More: Got some gravel…

R-Type

I was playing R-Type [KLOV or Official Link] on my MAME box last weekend…. Let me back up slightly. I was watching TV last sunday, bored as hell, thinking I should be doing something. DDR? no. Need For Speed Carbon? No.

Now that game pissed me off… (N4S Carbon) I was at the second last race, or . . . → Read More: R-Type

Screeeeeeech!

The Screeching to a halt sound is what I was going for there… and I’m not refering to the 80 car pileup on Deerfoot the other night.
Shop is now on hold for a few small reasons… the weather is kinda iffy… any if you know me, you know how calm and relaxed I am with things . . . → Read More: Screeeeeeech!

So here . . . → Read More: A new category

The time, she does fly…

I can’t believe that it’s August already!

Camping season is getting close to being over. Mind you, with the Global Warming, perhaps we’ll be good into November this year.

Got a week off coming up and we are going to spend some of that out camping. Still a fireban in the south, so we’ll prolly go back to . . . → Read More: The time, she does fly…

Camping with an old trailer…

…is a lot harder than I thought.

This last weekend, the leak in the sink got to a point where water was just running out the tap… I’ll either just get new washers for it or replace the whole thing. I’ll prolly replace the proprietary trailer taps with a generic small set. Like for a bar sink… . . . → Read More: Camping with an old trailer…

May Long Pictures

Well, I guess I should have put these up a while ago, but here are a few pics of us on the May Long weekend quad trip to Dutch Creek. And a flower.

I just finished welding up the mount for my spare trailer tire. Tomorrow it gets welded on . . . → Read More: May Long Pictures

Another busy weekend

May long is so close I can almost touch it. I think I might even have the trailer ready!
The camper and trailer are now permanently welded together. Well, permanent in as much as a grinder could cut thru the welds… but they are one right now. I’m trying to think of a name for it… Camprailer? . . . → Read More: Another busy weekend
