Mine is prepping and painting the 20 ft iron cross on the front of the church. I'm head trustee and today is my planned beautification day. Have a handful of happy to help helpers and a couple who feel obligated ro help rake out the leaves and remulch all the mulch beds, paint some foundation. I took on the cross myself because I only trust my self at the top of a 28 ft ladder, and I wouldn't ask any of the helpers to do anything that I wouldn't do myself.

Pulling the passenger fender so I can cut the rusty/bondo that is in the bottom behind the tire off today

hacked off the raised bar in the kitchen behind the sink on thur. Had granite counter tops installed this morning.

Today's big project is to get my better half to actually decide on a color for me to paint the bottom cabinets. You can see the color samples I painted and stuck on in the back ground. Top cabinets will all be bright white. It will be months before I can get her to decide on a back splash, but that's the way of the world..

Changed out fuel sender on my 64 Valiant. Got my sender from mrmoparts. So far it goes to full. My last one only went to 1/4 full all the time and stayed there. We will see if it adjusts as fuel level decreases.
 
Put a bypass switch in my 95 Ram 2500.

PO had a Jake Brake and XMSN OD cutoff switch installed by two 14 fourteen year olds that specialize in Chevrolet LS engine computers. AFU with 11 miles extra wires. BullyDog no longer makes products for 12V motors so I pulled it out and could not fix the parsitic drain because I am an electrical system moron.

This may sound funny, but aircraft electrical systems are so much easier to work on. Probably because only smart morons touch them!
 
Need to pull the wheels of my 93' Ranger .. sold them and the guy wants them this weekend .. it's 31 friggin degrees out there and I can't get warm this winter ..spring my ***. wife says I'm nuts, BUT this old mans going bracket racing this year.. thanks for asking .. careful on that ladder, don't think the good Lord intervenes for falling painters

Laying in the couch trying to get over a head cold. Did take the kids to an Easter egg hunt this morning
 
I was working on clutch issues on my coupe. Had to pull motor and trans, no room to just pull the transmission.

in the fence from the side yard through the end of the deck so I don't have to see the neighbor's place

Spent most of yesterday moving snow. Today probably the same at my son's house.
 
More work with chainsaws and axes. Making some Flintstones type benches to place along the hiking trails on the property. Then cutting/splitting some more firewood.... Great to be working outside in the woods!

In about 8 - 9 hours, there will be a glass of bourbon in hand (and an Aleve or 2 lol!) as I test drive the benches
