Made it to another Friday morning and eight hours in the salt mine till the wet weekend. Happy Friday the 13th.

We paid $6.19 at the pump at Frankfort yesterday. But it was for 100LL. For a helicopter. So maybe not exactly apples to apples, LOL.

I like the way you "roll", mister. Traffic? ... what traffic?

Hoping everyone has a fantastic day into the weekend. Seasonal allergies have been kicking this family's tail for 2 weeks now. I hope we're on the mend. I can tell there is less sniffles and hacking hoping on.

Happy Friday the 13th everyone.

Anyone tried Smoking E's BBQ in Lake Station? Kind of a unique setup for this area.

Where they move to? They were right across the street from the shop. Ate there once. Food was decent but way overpriced. This was several years ago now. If memory serves a slab of ribs was $24 and didn't come with any sides. You had to pay extra for that

Their stand is south of the The Vu across from Mathews Lawn Care.

Saw this on I-65 North going around Indianapolis yesterday afternoon ...

Fridge was gone by 8am. Got a cooler packed with stuff that absolutely needs to be refrigerated. New fridge tomorrow. No ETA.

Looking for a paving contractor for a driveway... anyone... ?

So I put in a small ammo order. I needed a little bit more for free shipping, so I ordered one box of a different caliber, seeing as it was almost free. Struck me funny that the order was split into two shipments and I just received the single box today. Didn't make shipping sense to me, but what do I know?

I order some 12 gauge ammo since I was having issues with finding it locally. They wanted $85 for shopping so I backed out on it til they had free shipping on orders over $300 which this was. Ordered it and got not one or two, but 4 separate shipping info confirmations. I guess 4 cases of ammo is too hard or too heavy to ship together. Lol

 

[Snapdragon]

I don't know **** about shotguns, but is this anything anyone is interested in? Free shipping too.

Hmmm. The description says "perfect Semi-Auto", who wouldn't want that? Could be a matter of opinion though....

Or you could have done like this girl on Facebook. Posted in the Lowell group that she needed someone to fix her door. She locked herself out, and instead of calling a locksmith, she broke her own door down.

In another life, I had a 13 y/o step son who was a big strong kid. He came home from school one day while former wife and I were at work. He had an urgent need to use the bathroom and after realizing he didn't have his house key, he put his shoulder into the garage man door and busted it in just like this. The door was never installed correctly by the builder so it wasn't surprising that it failed. When I replaced it, I made sure to properly reinforce the bolts. I honestly don't recall how we handled the situation with the yute.

 

[Bill2905]

Big day today. 1960s paper cutter out, 2015 paper cutter in. I hope I measured the door width correctly.

How did your project turn out?

 

[mmpsteve]

How did your project turn out?

Thanks for asking. Turned out great. Cutting piles of paper 10 minutes after install done. Always a pleasure seeing professionals who know what they're doing. Moving top-heavy 700 lb machines takes a little finesse.

The old one doesn't look like much, but everything you see on it is solid cast iron - very heavy. They don't make them like this anymore and that's one reason it lasted 60 years.

Notice the hand crank clamp on top of the old one. And that white tape measure on top that you measured cuts by. The new one has lazer measuring, and does everything automatically and can be programmed for multiple cuts, etc.... very big upgrade for our little shop.

Ha! just kidding, not really needing anybody right now, but do you or did you work in a print shop?
