Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Wow, 2,500 blocks! I guess there are a lot of questions that could be asked. My top question is "What kind of gloves did they wear? I'd really like to know! Would make a good advertisement for them
That's cooler than cool! (see what I did? Cooler than cool? As in cold? Ah, never mind) They did a very ice job (not a typo)... (not all that funny, either)

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Got mine a few weeks ago. The outside looks kind of of like a truck tire?

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
That snow joke!
I uncovered this double historic tag from '85. I think it came from my '55 Chevy wagon. Now could be used as a year of manufacture on an '85. Too bad my '85 Jimmy is gone

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Ha ha. Too bad you couldn't run it, though. The whole time I had that Jimmy that door it's hung on had a work bench in front of it. I did have historic tags on it and could have registered that plate as YOM. I guess I need another '85. I wish I still had that one. Talk about fuel prices. That thing got 22-15 mpg
Yeah. Anyone following close enough to catch the first board to slip out of that haphazardness deserves to be taught to think more I do really miss the Jimmy. It was an easy rig to buy, fix up, enjoy, and unfortunately sell. If it wasn't raining, the sides were rolled up!

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Picture from my deck. Whiskey Flat Days. The rodeo is a stone's throw away from me. It was an endless line of people all day. The place was packed. Standing room only. No parking. I had to put out traffic cones to keep people from parking in my driveway. That's why the Corvette and the Jeep are parked out front. Otherwise I'd have to park a mile away.
But it was fun. We must have had 30 people we know stop by to check out the new place. ![]() ![]()

The trouble is that I don't want to cut down the trees. So they cleared the lines and said if I didn't cut them down that they'd be back. I guess that's the price I have to pay for my beautiful old trees. I liked this old Forest Service truck that parked in front of my house. ![]()

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cured-in-place_pipe I was facing the same dilemma and after consulting with several plumbing companies decided to go for it.. wasn't cheap, something like $75/foot, about $6500 from the house to the street.. estimate to remove trees and excavate was over $10k, and we'd lose the trees.. it was well worth it, haven't had a single drain issue in over 8 years.. and regardless of the costs, sewer issues stink! the first couple of years we owned the house we had numerous drain issues ranging from $250 snakes - $1000 jetting.. host piping has to be suitable though, no major offsets etc. but once it's done, it's rated for stand alone duty, the host can rot completely away.. 100 year design life and we got a 25yr warranty through contractor that installed ours.. good luck! sewer line runs between driveway and those two big trees, the trunk on the corner tree is huge! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Sewer problems are the worst. Imagine my horror when I knew people were coming over and the toilet in my one and only bathroom took a dump on me. ![]() It reminds me of an old house where I rented a room from my buddy. We had a party and the toilet backed up with a bunch of people there. I told him that the toilet was overflowing and was flooding the bathroom. He was pretty drunk and told me to drill some holes in the floor. ![]()
