    A shirt I found and should have bought said it best. "I built it like you drew it."

    A few projects I have done recently

    Nice shots. What takes the place of the pond? A different structure? Ponds seem like a waste of space but water needs a place to go.

    Euclid green paint

    Not sure what you mean in "mix as you go." Should be able to mix small amounts by ratio unless their process is very different from what I'm used to. And yes to the PPE with all 2k products.

    We got some rain and a bit of wind but nothing serious. We really needed the rain too. Got so dry I could almost walk on the lawn without sinking in. o_O

    Euclid green paint

    That's the day job. You'd think $25 would make this a rare event but we make em by the case at times. Biggest customer is a concrete equipment factory. They can touch up a blemish on a new machine right on the line so they save money vs having to pull it off and send the whole machine back to...

    Any Youtube watchers here might want to look at Dirt Ninja's videos on the 2d flex and 3d flex. It's a decent overview on what one can do with both setups.

    The next generation service truck!!!

    The Big Oly Bronco above was a neat machine. 351w, 2wd, had modified twin I beam setup out of the pickups. The roof wing shown raised folded flat with a lever on the long straights for less drag. High zoot for the time.

    Messing with a bad parts guy

    Late to the party as usual... I are a parts guy... I try anyway. We get bored sometimes so we prank call the other chains.... Ask him for a MAP sensor for a XXXXX Insist that it must work in all fifty states. We kept a dumb dumb on the phone for over 10 minutes trying to make sure it...
