Some summer work on my current build-------

Went hunting and gathering last weekend. The photos are a sequence of events harvesting and preserving Razor Clams.

A trip to the ocean to buy and process Dungeness crab live off the boat.

For my hobby I'm open to anything obscure between 1949 and 1972. No Camero, Chevelle or Mustang though. Building my last build now, a 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone. My 67 Notch is my DD, in storage until warmer climes prevail. My family rigs are my 2013 Black Diamond Avalanche and my wife's 2015...

It scares the hell out of me. The borg are here and resistance is futile-----------------

The pendulum swings both ways. For myself I am glad for all the events good and bad that happened to me. It is all foundational background that makes us who we are today and I certainly have no complaints. I just completed my first six months of retirement and I find more joy every day. Being a...

Very true DB 318. Since 1971 when Nixon unhinged the dollar from the price of metals the dollar has been a Fiat Currency as well. The Chinese wanted to be paid in gold/silver so Nixon decoupled the dollar from being a "silver certificate" and let it float. The only value the dollar has now is in...

Bitcoin is a "fiat currency" which means it has no real value other than the perception that it does have value. It is strings of 1's and 0's in the cloud and was made up by some fairly imaginative people. By advocates saying it has value, some folks believe it. I am a metals guy myself and in...

I worked in agriculture my whole life and it is a 50/70 hour a week job about 8 months a year. It didn't hurt me and I retired late in life about 6 months ago. Now I really enjoy my time and no more stress. As the sales Manager for our company, I was responsible for screening, hiring and...

I see how it can take that long. Those shops are providing "best of show" quality paint finishes. That requires cure and shrink time between steps. And the time spent blocking and priming could be hundreds of hours. It could take 2 weeks from the time they start to apply color another 2 weeks...

Brand doesn't matter to me. Cool is cool. I'm driving my 67 notch while I bring my 65 Comet Cyclone back from the edge. It's still on the rotisserie but I have all the parts and paint bought for it an safely stored. Damn PPG concept went up in price about triple since I last painted my notch...

Yes I was that guy until I retired. Now it's just me and the wife and she visits me in the garage to see what I'm doing on my current build.

Wow that's just painfu! Hard to see on that pristine yellow car.glad your arm is healing.

Lots of dialogue on this one, thought I would post up my thoughts about it below:

Can't relate I never joined.

Retired at 75 with a project car on the rotisserie. Two cups of coffee, my vegetarian breakfast and I am ready to go. Up at 5:30 most mornings and all the usual aches and pains that go with my age, 2 metal knees and a back surgery. Now days I work on my project car most days from about 9:00 to...

I like it:-)

My Cyclone dash bezel back from G-Car refurbishment------

Three canners going full of Tuna. The big one had 53 1/2 pints and 2 pints in with 100% jar seal. You can see my Barracuda in the background:-)

We processed and canned 123 #'s of albacore tuna fresh off the boat. Going back to get Halibut and Coho in a couple weeks. The Barracuda averaged 17 mpg for the trip:-)

Top photo of my 800 mile road trip outbound. Bottom photo of my trip inbound. My Barracuda road tripped very well. A fun car to show my distant friends.

Had both mine done 3 months apart 5 years ago. The surgery goes well it's the rehab that's the tough part. Doing it saved my mobility.

It works for me and I like it. Available here in health food stores and around.

Thanks 360---I have two metal knees and a bad back but I think I can finish my current build with the rotisserie and a body cart. It's just hard to get up and down from the floor. Thanks for the acknowledgement Rusty. I have been blessed with the passion to design/build from a young age. It's...

Thanks Mike: The job was design/build and I got an adrenaline rush on every startup.

After 34 years 6 months and 14 days I have retired from my current job at the age of 75 years old. I stayed because I loved the challenge of the work and the satisfaction derived from it. Time to turn the page and move on to the next thing which includes my current build on my rotisserie.

I showed my Barracuda for the third time since finishing yesterday. Our local springfest show has 138 entries. The only other early Mopar at the show. Cool lady, she has driven the leaning tower of power coast to coast. We had a good visit. An overview of the crowd. Because it was in the...

Whatever gas sold for in 1962. Around a quarter a gallon. I know it was painless to fuel my 62 impala SS 409 tri power hardtop. Tires were another matter though.

I've had both and having 100 mb fiber allows to stream 4K movies while running three computer work stations. You would find it to be a game changer for you as I did.

I use it orally and it works for me. Legal and controlled in my state so it's readily available. I'm 75 years old and I have a lot of chronic pain. For me it's a good solution.
