Hey Hula, I'm very impressed with your building skills.... How do you get the flakes even?

He calls Tony the Tiger because he’s great

The thickness is dictated by how even the urethane is applied.

 

[Headless hula]

Started moving all the stuff back in.

Lots of stuff to get organized. That grey steel cabinet had to be empty so I could move it. What a pita.....

 

[Blue Oval]

Bummer, no poles.

 

[HST4ME]

Fuck this shit.....way way too early. I did see some quality driving this morning though.

 

[Headless hula]

Need to find a couple of yoooooge Santa hats for my tiki doooodes.

 

[Blue Oval]

I have not put Christmas lights up for years. Last year I did it Santa and his sleigh crashed into the tree out front. I had the reindeer hanging out of the tree. Then I blew my Acl out playing basketball and was unable to climb the ladder. The boys ended up getting them down for me. Locals all got a good laugh at the display.

 

[Headless hula]

Started hanging all the plates that the RDP peeps sent to me.

 

[Headless hula]

Doing a quick service on the trailer hubs.

They're about to see 4k miles of highway.

 

[buck35]

On the road again. Gotta love Willy!

On the road again. Gotta love Willy!

Going to try and drum up some interest for a Powell trip.....

Time will tell.

 

[Headless hula]

When poptart and I did that trip in August, I went through the hubs, new grease, etc. When we got back I had 2 seals on their way out. I repacked all 4 then too.
I'll bring the stuff along to do it once I'm out there. I figure a 2k mile tow is a long enough service interval.

Grease is CHEAP....

Don't forget, it spent a few minutes floating. So I heard. One of the funnier moments of my August

That was something else wasn't it?

 

[snowhammer]

Not sure what was better, the floating trailer or you making sure they other guys at the ramp noticed it . Great day bud!

Were the straps still on the boat?

 

[Headless hula]

Were the straps still on the boat?

I backed in the trailer a little too far to load up the boat. The current at that ramp is pretty strong and with my trailer being semi buoyant, the current move the trailer sideways and the tires were wrapped around the last post on the dock

 

[Blue Oval]

Took the 25 Baja to Indian River years ago. Dock was not in. Backed the trailer in a couple times. The boat was floating the trailer. Scratching the head a couple times. Oh Chit, the saftey straps were still on. No dock thru me off my game. We finally got it launched.

 

[monkeyswrench]

Never shared this with anyone...My Pops was backing me down the ramp, in my crew cab Super Duty on 42"s...that makes a difference in a minute. I'd always light off the motor in the little jet, and he'd know I was deep enough and pull out.

Well, this dumbass forgot one strap...
Pops pulled out, and I made the quickest U-turn ever. Panicked, stabbed it, and launched. Sounded like a Pro-Stock leaving the lights. This was pre youtube and phone vids...thank God.

You need to have @TripleB cut you a 6 foot tall Hula girl for the shop wall! I'd do it but the shipping would be stupid expensive

Cheeselands Unofficial holiday aka deer season starts tomorrow morning. Taking the weekend off to hunt. Don’t think the deer stand is going to be as temperature controlled as the combine cab. Might wanna wear an extra layer or two.

 

[HydroSkreamin]

Apparently we’re turning off the snow long enough to have Thanksgiving

I’m off all week, getting ready for Thanksgiving and trying to recombobulate the garage from 5 years of boat restoration. It’s going to be different parking cars inside in the winter and not scraping windows in the morning

 

[HydroSkreamin]

So Hula calls and asks if it’s snowing here; I say, no.

He asks if I wanna have breakfast, I say sure. Then this shows up.

I hold him fully responsible

 

[Headless hula]

Sloppy shit....

 

[77 SLEEK]

Glad to see you making it home safe. Happy thanksgiving eve.

 

[jb600]

close to a foot of snow by the time it was over. However, my new Ariens 28 Deluxe S to the H to the fucking O was all over it.

Our snow remover

 

[Headless hula]

It's really strange...
I have the biggest craving for a burrito....

My house smells like cumin and ancho chili.

 

[Headless hula]

Grabbed my brothers scissor lift from ma and dads after turkey dinner.

 

[snowhammer]

Just took my BIL's golf cart for a cruise around town and the golf course. I forgot on my way to the garage that it is not allowed outside of the subdivision. Oops.

 

[HydroSkreamin]

Got the homestead looking good for the holidays

The ladies prepared an awesome meal.

Looks like my dog may enjoy pumpkin pie as much as me...

Three of the four mutts were having fun...

Fourth mutt was enjoying his alone time in front of the fire.

While the ladies prepped the meal, my buddy Crash helped me move my hoist. My MIL has had a couple of strokes and hasn’t been inside our house except for middle daughter’s graduation 2 years ago when I borrowed an aluminum ramp from Crash’s brother’s box truck. For some reason it never occurred to me to use my 4-post lift in the garage until this year. I removed some of Hula’s OG handiwork on the railing and it worked awesome!

She walked her walker right on inside and we all had what I believe to be the best Thanksgiving one could ask for. Drama-free, except for one dog deposit downstairs, and we know who did it but we’re not naming names Youngest daughter just took care of it and didn’t make a big deal about it.

Success!

Hope all of yours were memorable in a good way as well!

Gettin my "hustle on"....


Neighbors boat needed an "end of season" service.

Hula hut speed and marine is up and running.



Took damn near a year, but that's just how the ball bounces sometimes.

Did you get that envelope I sent you last month?

 

[Nordie]

I think I've got a couple Nevada plates I'll check the attic when I eventually get up there this weekend

 

[TripleB]

I stopped by the Hula Hut 2.0

I hadn’t been by since before the floor and painting, it’s very nice

 

[brownsuger]

Southern Illinois here..... color me late to the party.....

 

[Headless hula]

I did Bob. Thank you. It's sitting on my kitchen counter.

 

[Headless hula]

Got the radiant tube heater installed today. It's a tight fit, but it's in an working.

Horse trailer showed up today, needs 4 new airbags.

 

[jb600]

This is going to be a fun morning.

 

[Blue Oval]

Time to get the snow mobile back out.

 

[HydroSkreamin]

Went in the middle of the snowstorm to pick up the youngest from her job last night. I’m thankful that I had her car to work on so she didn’t have it; the roads were terrible. The ride home was a great opportunity to discuss options and driving tips. HeadlessHula lives about 4 miles from her work and offered safe harbor. That’s comforting to us to know that’s an option.

Dogs are enjoying the winter wonderland.

I’ll probably push some snow around today and do some vehicular maintenance and go over to the in-laws to help them decorate for Christmas during the Packer game today.

This next week I’ll be emptying half my garage so Hula can do his magic when he’s back stateside. Pictures don’t do his floor justice, it’s awesome.

 

[jb600]

Waiting on the county.

 

[Headless hula]

Tig welded some 1/8" steel to the bottoms of a couple of little jackstands.

May as well give the floor a fighting chance of not getting too cut up....

Gotta practice going around corners....

It's been a while..

Drilling the holes to bolt my vice down.

3/4" plate bench top.
