Stop in for a cup of coffee

Dang, one of my old MAC Tool shop owners just passed away.
 
120mph I believe but I just found one for a 69. Will need to get a new speedometer cable now though.

My former boss just passed away last week. He was an excellent boss and a great person. I knew him for 20 years and worked for him for 4. He kept postponing retirement. Finally pulled the trigger, within 6 months got cancer. Was fighting and winning when he got pneumonia and passed a couple days later. So very sad.
 
Hey crew.
This afternoon showed a nieghbor how to daub up the cellar wall with clay and put on some whitewash.
Got dinner in the oven and now having a last cup of coffee to wrap up the day. One of the neighbors dropped off some Christmas cookies. Perfect combo.

I am an old concrete finisher, rubbed out and white washed a bunch at a collage here in town, shoot, that was back in 1979
 
Cool car. Aparently 2 owner California car. It is a 273 automatic. They only made 6549 with a 273. I have parts to make it look like a Hypo. LOL

I would be tempted for an STR equipped big block despite it all. Best I never get my hands on something like that..

I'm curious how these walls were laid up. It couldn't have been that different than earlier stone walls, with each stone more or less placed to fit. Can't rely on clay mortar the way is done today with high cement mortars. The strength has to be in the stone work. Yet it had to be done pretty quick when putting up a whole row of houses.
 

Well the early Christmas gathering at my in-laws just took an interesting turn. My now ex brother in law brought my niece and nephew cause my sister in law(the one fooling around with other men) wasn’t going to come. Well guess who showed up? And with her new boy toy.... I’m sitting back with a beer watching this one

Keeping the Rocks wet as it's dun is a must at times I have seen..
I would use a stone on a concrete wall and rub it as I kept it wet, then add a thin set and brush coat it out, come back a week latter and white wash it.. it payed the bills
