What if it Snows?

It is Willie in the Woods.

 

First up. Vintage Toastmaster box fan. Five (5) bucks. Lady is fixing to move to Colorado and needs stuff gone. Toastmaster had a factory in tge village to the west for many years. Had a couple aunts and uncles retired from there. After it closed a furniture store was in the old building. Then. They discovered some chemical had leaked from some tank for a long time. So it turned into an EPA Superfund cleanup. Yikes. This one was made in Boonville so shouldn't glow in the dark. Cleaned it up and put a handle on it. It's got a rattle on high speed but I can fix that.

Next is a vintage surge protector. Three (3) bucks.

 

And last but not least is a vintage National clip board. Built to withstand a direct nuclear hit. One (1) dollar.

How did they know ? lol

 

Thanks. I was gonna prune it some. I’ve got some Epsom salts and some 24/8/16 fertilizer. That will have to work. I’ll give it a try.

 

All in good humorous spirit. The Peterbilt is worth building on as needed in my opinion. Best of luck going forward.
Have great respect for anyone who will milk cows for a living. My mother and 3 sisters hand milked 13 varied breeds 1946 to 1953 to finish putting us thru high school. Milk check was cash money every two weeks, and them going to the barn with a lantern earned it.
And to anyone who raises chickens. Brother and I ran the broiler operation same period. Chicken S and ammonia. Stirring litter after feeding them buttermilk flushing mash and pitchforking up dead after a storm killed the power and half a housie smothered. But we did have electric lighting. (In good weather.)

I once told a mechanic in a shop I ran, that I had done more hard work by the time I was 12 years old than he had done in his 30 year life.
He had shot off the "well you are here in the shop, and we have to go out to these places on service calls in all situations." ..BLAH BLAH...

He did not know that I had kept the old Ford F8, GMC 470, 22 White or L195 IH Gas day cabs together and running across 43 of the then 48.

Chaps me bad to hear every damh mechanic; sent to a plant to fix a forklift, come dragging back long time with the copyrighted claim...
"It was way back in the plant in an old cold/dark place and would not crank." No crap...That is why they are paying us to come out there and make it crank. They would like it out and working. (Forklift people knew years ago what the truck dealers are now doing. They will pay, Bill it.)
I never asked my mechanics to go anywhere in any weather at any time I would not go myself. Nor put up with any guff.

Just gather your tools, Say I have to go to the shop. Come tell me what and how. I then took care of the situation and no future problems.

I might not be able too fix the problem as he could, but I was there to hand a tool, pull on the bar, go get a tool off the truck.
And in the years we had Johnson Equipment; 79 to 93, I did 90% of the pickup and delivery with the rollback, and a lot of it to and from plants open 24/7 before shop time and after supper. This old man never had to backup to the paymaster on payday.

 

It’s different lighting.

 

Boy howdy, he switched from cucumbers to giving some lady a big fat one that made her content it seems. Whotta man...

 

Caught up. Weather has been great last couple days. But heat will return in a couple more. But. Summers days are numbered
