Got the Camaro's oil changed tonight. Now I can roll in the Ferris to fix the leaking pump.

Been out of the country for three weeks; looks like I am 65 pages behind. Is this some kind of record?

Haha, nope. Git to reading.
People were talking about coffee. I don't drink coffee, but my wife has family members who grow a bit in
Guatemala, where we were to celebrate our 40th anniversary. Had a good time, but it was too short.

Cut Split Stack Burn
Finally!!!!
Are you telling us that you were cutting wood with no teeth? LOL, Just kidding.In addition to being frugal that is another reason I use chains up completely (and then some) before putting a new one on. I've had a few chains with missing cutters over the years as they were filed beyond the witness marks.
No coffee?????? We can't be friends lolol .
It works better than having the chain on backwards.
Here's one for you bicycle, car, women's tennis fans... My many decades long friend owned a bicycle shop. In the early '80s he was commissioned to make a 5 passenger bicycle for a Sears Roebuck television commercial. The commercial was to feature women's tennis champion Yvonne Googlagong promoting Sears active wear for women. Amusingly, when they showed him the story board for the commercial the "bicycle" had 5 wheels on it. He offered his expert opinion that a bicycle has two wheels and he could make one with 5 seats. He was a frame builder... Reynolds 531 double butted tubing was the thing in those days... so from a technical stand point this wasn't a leap for him.
He was at the filming in Central Park in NYC... rather nervous to have Googlagong and 4 models on the bike. What could possibly go wrong! It was a tough job working with those five women but he was the man who could do it. BTW, riding that thing was like riding an extension ladder...
That's his '69 Jag XKE 4.2 in the background. That thing was fun to tool around in... It was in good shape when he got it but he eventually did a restoration rebuild on it to make it 100%.

Bittersweet. Sold the XJ Jeep guy had been hounding me for a couple of weeks . This morning he stopped (lives up the road) when he saw me outside made another offer I couldn’t refuse . He gave me cash in about 20 minutes and He’s going to DMV today . Should be back this evening to pick it up

Where is the picture of Googlagong and four models?
More scrounging while I was out today. Let's see if I picked up anything that @djg james could use. 
(I see one thing peeking out already) The donor put everything in plastic bags since it was raining and it was a driveway pickup.

Wish I could let go of stuff that is standing in my way of working on original projects like the square body I posted yesterday. I have several things that realistically I should sell off to fund a free up time for it but can't bring myself to do it.
More freebies!

the hammers. A few nail puller/pry bars, brushes, saws, rulers, horseshoes, and a few other bits. Plus a framing square - and mine has been missing for quite a while! That was a bonus that I didn't know was there (actually most of the tools were a surprise.)
And a few containers of nails. Meh. At least most of them are galvanized or aluminum.

Big ol white oak log yesterday. Rounds to heavy for this old guy.
Noodled from the end then bucked.

I can ask if any exist in his achieves.... now in the custody of a mutual friend. Unfortunately he passed away so I cannot ask him himself.
I tried to find that particular ad on YouTube but it's not there with other old Sears ads. At least that I could find.
