I found this picture of dad, it was taken in 1944-45. The tin plate is peeling badly.
Good morning!!!!

LOL, Thomas teasing us time card punchers.
Didn't take him long to settle into that retirement lifestyle, did it?:laughing:

The video cameras on today's smart phones put most previous camcorders to shame, Thomas. If the boss wants an iPhone, she'll be all set!

As usual, an abundance of great pics showing the awesome places people live and visit. Don’t mind looking at the snow as long as I don’t have to shovel it. Guess I should be getting our tree up soon.
Even better to hear of folks on the mend, even BEF back to work
I carry (and misplace) my iphone almost everywhere I go. Will almost always set it down someplace safe where I’m working, then have to hunt for it. I use Find my phone a lot. Wife has to call my number a lot too. Too often it’s in plain sight, just blending in.
I got my carport plans done enough to get truss input. Submitted to the local manufacturer by email, didn’t have to go in. So I also posted over in the Build it forum for TBN input. While I won’t attempt to finish the job, it would be nice to get the posts and beams up while my tenants are on holiday.
Here they are
Gorgeous day here, batteries are fully charges, wife should be back from cookie exchange soon - life is good.

Good Evening Y'all,
Warm today, Warner tomorrow.
I added a Vent to the Barn Door, it has louvers in it and they are adjustable so I can close them when the big rains hit, they are also screened ! It passes a nice flow of air when opened full, I have another for tomorrow install, then two more in the waiting just in case.
Hoping to reduce the heat in the Barn during the hotter months, I used to use a screen insert I made, it helped a lot but I added a Door Opener, when closing, it doesn't like the screen so I am trying the Adjustable Vents, hoping for the best.
Working on improving my method of using a Land Plane to create a driveway with a crown. I need some drainage on the sides too.. got a lot of help on the Gravel Road Maintenance Thread, after install another vent tomorrow I will do some edge work.
I have had a 8' Wooden Step Ladder for a LONG while, 30+ years, and its got a little loose, I tighten the cross rods for each step, added a new Flip-up Shelf made from 3/8 Plywood, those two things tightened it up. Then I added a cross support of 3/8 Plywood, across the back of her about 18" high tapered to fit, glued and screwed. All in all the old girl is solid as a rock.
interestingly enough, I went to Lowes a few days ago, asked about any scope 3/8 Plywood handing around. I was directed to the Cutting Area and there was a piece of 3/8 Plywood about 16" wide and 4 ' long. I asked about a price, they asked me what I was going to do with it... I told them fit a wooden ladder, they said I could have it. They marked it with a PINK Marker and it was free.
When I went to check out, the Clerk at the Register, yes I do not use the Self Scan Check Out, looked all over the pic for a tag, I told her when I approached that it was a scope piece and it was free, see the PINK Mark. Well she had to get a manager to come to the Register and approve the action... funny !
All in all I had a good day, got one vent in, got two quotes on new Trucks, and fixed up the ladder... and there is tomorrow... God willing and the creek don't rise !
God Bless and a Merry Christmas to all !

No it didn't, can't blame him either. :laughing: Wonder if that sinking in the mud after 6' was instant karma?
Your body's batteries, or the house's?
