Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks .The blade is 1/8” O1 tool steel I bought it at my local steel supplier it’s not hardened yet so I had to after I shaped the blade had to temper it afterwards . I heated the peanut oil to 120 ish with the angle iron . Warm oil works better to quench the steel

See the electrical switch and outlet by the microwave? I had an electrician wire the kitchen in the '80s and he did that halfass crap. Same thing over by the sink. Always hated that crooked mess. I painted the kitchen last year, never put the plates back on because I want to change all that to be one double box with an oak combination cover, to match the rest of the kitchen. I have to cut out a piece of tongue & groove to fix each one. I ordered the switch/recept plates the other day and dropped off the Multimaster (saw) to be repaired last week (finally). I can't wait to get it back so I can finally fix that mess! Here is where the microwave was, taking up a lot of that space, and the messed up electric boxes The other messed up electric boxes And the microwave in it's new place. I wasn't up for finishing the rack for the cutting board tonight

This place gets so dusty that it is almost impossible to keep up on it. I'll spend an hour dusting and the next day it's all dusty again. I chased my little Corgi dog today. She took off chasing a big Lab that comes by. The same Lab that chased my German Shepherd back into the house when he tried to chase it. But he met his match with Coco. She is fearless and sent him packing. My wife freaked out and we had to go looking for her. We couldn't find her. Reason being, she was sitting on the front porch waiting for us. She came back on her own. Corgi's are smart dogs. She is small but heavy all muscle. She jumps off the bed and the floor rattles like someone just dropped a sack of concrete on it. She is like a big dog with really short legs and an attitude a mile wide. That Lab found out the hard way not to mess with her.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Welsh Corgis are one of the first dog breeds I learned about when I was a kid. I'm kind of partial to them. The reason is, I collected/played with Corgi Toys. Those and Dinky Toys. My folks didn't have a lot of money and we had a big family, but when they bought us toys they bought quality. Are you familiar with them. Also Matchboxes, which everyone knows. I still have all that stuff. The coolest Corgi Toy I had was a baby blue '63 Riviera. And I have a story about that.
Back in '82 was when I met the gal I ended up marrying. She had two kids so I had to grow up. I started my home contracting business out of a '71 K/20. I wanted her to have a car that was a cool mate to it, and I wanted something sporty but also plush. So I was looking for a '71 Monte Carlo when I ran across a baby blue '63 Riviera. I realized it was what a Monte Carlo came from and bought it for her. At some point I went digging through my old toys and came across that Corgi Toy. I don't know if it was a subconscious thing or coincidence, but I had bought the real version of one of my favorite toys as a kid. In all these years I have only seen one other baby blue Riviera. And I just searched Corgi Toy Riviera and only found two pictures of baby blue ones. The one was an old listed that was a dead end and the other is on Ebay, and it says it's the rare baby blue version. The rest are either gold or medium blue metallic. I don't know, but when I think About it, that is one of the coolest things in my life

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I never knew about Corgi toys. I'm also partial to the Corgi pups as that's the only family pet my family had in the home. In the future, if I decide to get a dog, it'll be a corgi. Until then, I think I'm going to go buy a Corgi toy

That baby blue Riviera is going for $65! No box, which doesn't matter to me. I still have mine which is in "played with" condition. As far as I know they are the only one Corgi did this light think with. Kind of like fiber optics. On the ledge under the back window and on the dash are lenses to let light in. The rear one lights up the headlights and the front one does the tail lights. I could put my finger over one side of the lens on the dash to put the turn signal on. Pretty fascinating for a young boy. The two baby blues I saw pictures of have red interiors, mine has yellow. I wonder if mine is more rare yet. My real one had a blue interior. Definitely a nicer combo Look up Corgi Toys. They made some cool cars. Mostly British or European. But they did a '59 Chevy I remember, and some others.

If you want a Corgi pup be prepared for the price tag. They aren't cheap. My little girl was $2500. The most that I have ever spent on a dog. And we had to drive to Nevada to get her. I figure with the price of the trip and the money my wife lost gambling it was about 4K by the time we got the puppy home. Great dogs. But they definitely have an attitude.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
The stubby legs are the best
Tim, I like that blue Riviera. That's one of those cars I'd like to own at least for a little bit one day. Paul, $2500! We got Moose for free, so that was nice, but he was already older. His first owner was a veterinarian, so he was trained really well. Second owner was one of my mom's friends, but that family was more of a cat family, so they gave Moose to another family. The 3rd family had a daughter whose boyfriend gave her a puppy. That family also had a younger boy who tried to keep the two dogs from getting at each other as dogs usually do, so Moose got the boot. Went back to my mom's friend so they could find him a better home. We took care of him over Thanksgiving one year and never gave him back. He was a great pup. Whenever he was outside when my mom was at work, he would always sit at the top of the driveway waiting for her to get back. He was a momma's boy

Don't underestimate those tiny legs. I know it defies physics but she can outrun my Shepherd.
I don't get it either?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I've never known one of the Corgi dogs, but they look cute as heck. Didn't know they were so feisty. I did have that 007 car though, and I wonder if it's still around, buried in a box somewhere.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I watched a thing on YouTube about 18 things Wales is best known for. Sounded like a snooty Brit to me. He tells about Tom Jones and some other insignificant things and left out one I feel is important, at least in American history. Tom Jones is a person who happens to be from Wales. Wales isn't known for Tom Joneses, Tom Jones is known for being from Wales, that's all. He is well known for being a performer. Anyway, no mention of Welsh Corgis, which is their actual name, like German Shephard.
I didn't think of those cute little big dogs, but I did comment on something else that has to do why many Americans have Welsh ancestry is due to their superior iron working skills. The B & O Railroad was America's first commercial railroad and Welsh iron workers were sought after to immigrate and facilitate the making of some of the first iron rails made in America. So their iron working skills were obviously well know dating farther back than that. My great grandfather was one of those who came to work at the Mount Savage Iron Works in the town of the same name, just outside Cumberland, Maryland where the C & O Canal had been built to. This is big US history right there. The rails made there way east on the canal boats to build the rails west. I got a lot of kudos from those with Welsh ancestry from as far as Australia. No comment from the snooty Brit, though And I delivered ny comment with great diplomacy, as not to offend

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

Sugar Cookies to start off the day. I ran out of Chocolate Chip Cookies yesterday so I needed to bake something. I tried this recipe once before but it called for orange juice and I didn't care for them. I left the orange juice out and put chocolate milk in place of it. They taste a lot better this time. YUMMMMY! Mouse droppings on some, plain white frosting others and some plain. I had to put my initials on the big one so no one would eat it.... LockDoc

Haha, mouse droppings. I don't know if I'll ever be able to eat chocolate sprinkles again. By the way, Australians have a really peculiar name for sprinkles, does anybody else know what it is?

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Are you going to skin that vanity, or are you going for rustic? I want a new vanity in the front bathroom and have enough oak to do it, but the wife's probably going to want particle board with melamine. I have to pick the right fights.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Thanks for the reply. I'd oil it and then apply water-based poly or pre-cat lacquer, personally. It's an interior bath with no windows, so I need to keep the off-gassing to a minimum.
