Hello. Finished painting the hood and roof on my truck. Roof turned out pretty good. Hood, not so much. I have three repair spots on the hood. One of them still sticks out like a sore thumb. I've painted before and always got the repair spots to blend in. Not this time. Folks, I'm getting old. I cannot see anymore. My hands are no longer steady. I just have to admit I can't do things I once could. I might have a body shop quote me on repainting the hood. How much can that be?
Enjoying the cooler temps. Planted some grass seed a month ago. None of it germinated. Whatever. I'll just let the weeds and moss take over. Enjoying the cooler weather. Hope you are too.

Evening... Hope everyone is doing ok. I forgot about the time change till this morning. Most of the leaves are off the trees. So I'll be doing some leaf blowing soon. Other than that everything is the same.
Happy November! Just got a new washer and dryer yesterday. Replaced my 18 year old LG front loaders with the newer version.
Getting 18 years out of any single appliance is almost impossible. Both that washer and dryer never failed and zero service calls.
In the same timeframe I replaced my refrigerator, stove and dishwasher TWICE!
Even crazier - when I got the set in 2007, I paid around $1800 delieved. The new set was $2100 delivered, installed and old stuff taken away.
You just get lucky some times I guess...

Appliances are crap these days. The guy that delivered my new fridge two years ago said anything you get beyond 6 years is a bonus now. Great! I still have my 2006 Whirlpool wash machine. I just keep fixing it no matter what's wrong with it. The new wash machines suck.
Hi folks! Hope y'all are doing well. Leaves coming down heavier now. Daily leaf blowing just to keep up. I'm going to repaint my hood. I hate how it looks. I have more paint on the way. I gotta up my game. I used to be able to do this. I've gotten old and crusty. just have to sharpen up.
Sounds good, Bronze. Speaking for myself, it's been a few years since I would trust myself to try to fix an anvil with a rubber mallet.
I'm getting very close to that Nerm. I feel it big time. I keep playing that famous line by Dirty Harry. "A man has got to know his limitations".
Afternoon... Hope everyone is doing well. We had our first snow last week. I lost count of the cars off the road. Way to many... I did leaf blowing yesterday. Still some leaves to fall but the wind is keeping them out if the yard. So if I get lucky I won't have to use the blower again. I hope not because my shoulder didn't like it. I spent over 2 hours making some stuff for work tomorrow. That's what I get for making it last year. Now it's expected. They like so I guess it's ok. So last night as I'm sitting here I hear a crash behind me. Well Scruffy had fell off his tree is his sleep. That's a 42 inch drop. I think he hit his head. It took me a minute to get him awake and for him to come to his senses. He then sat by the door like he was trying to figure out what happened. He seems all rite today but he hasn't been on the cat tree yet.
Hey David! Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. It turned cold here big time. I blew leaves a few days ago. All that's left now is stragglers. That'll go on for a couple more weeks then I'll blow the leaves off the roof and behind all the bushes next to the house. That should do it for the season. I painted the hood and roof on my truck. Had to redo the hood cuz I did a crappy job repairing a spot. The paint blistered up on the re-paint. Repaired that and painted again. It blistered again. Sanded it down and got it primed ready for attempt 4. I'd give up except I know what went wrong so I'm more confident I'll avoid that again. I will tell you this, you got to be able to see if you want to paint. One, I don't see well to begin with. Two, the lighting in my garage is horrible (I corrected that). Three, I'm wearing these ridiculous goggles for protection and it blurs my vision. I'm painting on faith, not method and the results show it. So with new lighting and a different pair of eyewear I should be OK. My problem was I narrowed the fan on the gun and was getting the paint to thick in spots. It would shrink and blister up. Oh well.
So hope all is well. Hope Scruff gets back in the groove.

Happy December and a belated Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
Just doing the normal holiday stuff with the family. My oldest comes home from school around Dec 11th for Christmas break and we're probably will spend most of it baking.
My wife started a new job back in August working from home full time and it's been amazing for her. No more 1 hour commute one way and the job role is way different.
I was also found fully favorable by the SSDI hearing judge and well that fixed a .... ton of financial issues. Im fully retired at 49 lol.
I'll pop back in here before Christmas and I hope the holidays go well for everyone!
