Good morning!!!!

I acquired this replica from the widow of the builder through an online auction house call Bring A Trailer. It's a fun site but be careful or you will end up with a new toy like me. The AC Cobra is an iconic 1960s car made famous when Texas race driver/builder Carrol Shelby stuffed a Ford V8 into it and won Lemans beating the Ferraris. This replica is a way to experience driving the classic without actually paying the million dollars plus price tag that any running example would bring today.
This is a 1965 model. Smog and safety exempt. It is the rawest driving experience you will ever get. lol

Can't remember if I posted this earlier or not, but this is the link for the sanding table the Japanese guy built:

He's a fairly industrious fellow and has built a fair number of tools - mostly out of wood - that look like they would be very handy, quite the craftsman. Offers plans for some of them at I what I think are reasonable prices:

I have a friend who did something like this as a table extension to his radial arm saw. In addition to being a sanding table, it also helps to hold pieces in place while he is using the saw.

Good morning to all! Low of 19°, going up to only 31°. Maybe a pasing snow flurry. Next storm moves in on Monday.... different models show different outcomes.... snow or no snow---- that is the question.....

Totalof around 3 inches yesterday, but the gusty winds (up to around 35) had areas of a dusting, but other areas now drifted to 6-8". Still not enough to get the tractor going....

The stock tank heater has been working great. Just enough to keep the main areas open and the waterfalls going. Ice is just forming on the sides.

Need to bring more pellets to the house today. There's only a couple inches in the hopper. Then need to go get a couple of propane tanks filled. The shop is definitely too cold to work out there without heat. I need to get started on making the edge tamers for my TBN neighbor.

Buppies, glad you're feeling better. Took a while.

Hope PJ checks in. Hope all is ok with them.

Kilroy, the pup sure looks content.... but also looks like saying - "theses are MY blankets.... don't get any ideas".....

RNG, hope you don't get a hassle from the insurance.... Sounds like they know it is going to cost more and they want to 'finalize' before they are on the hook to pay out more $$$$.

Scootr, anytime you want to take a road trip with the Cobra, I'm willing to make sure it's driving ok....

David, new cover / solar project is moving along nicely. More panels = more batteries right? Or just more work?....

Everyone have a great day!

My last living Uncle has his 90th Birthday today. Korean War Veteran. One of his jobs while he was in the service was training new recruits to drive Duce & a Halves. Me and my neighbor are bringing him to my place so he can train us on neighbors Duce & a Half. Plus ride with us in Memorial Day parade.

Wishing your uncle many more trips around the sun.

This area had an old wagon where the wood has rotted away. I collected all the old metal parts from it including the steel tires. It is the kind of old iron that does not rust away and is good for black smithing.

This part got stuck in the tree and is all that is left up there

This is a really interesting discussion of special forces and in particular the top special force the Sirius Patrol

35°F and cloudy this evening, with some rain / sleet/ snow / they're-not-sure what's coming overnight. Was a pretty nice, sunny day today, got up to 42°.

Once again, I find myself hopelessly behind in the reading here.

New job still going along very well, keeping my quite busy on weekdays. Wife is doing the same on weekends. Kind of missing my daily check-ins here. Hope everyone is well.

Good evening, gents.
