YOU CAN LAUGH ALL YOU WANT BUT I JUST WANTED TO GET MY LITTLE SHOP PAINT SINCE IT HAS NOT BEEN PAINT IN OVER 40 YEARS. AFTER 17 GALLONS OF PAINT ON EVERYTHING EXCEPT THE EAST WALL BECAUSE I PAINTED IT IN 2007 WHEN I IMPROVED THE SHELVES. I'M JUST SPLASHING THE PAINT ON THICK BECAUSE THE WOOD IS SO DRY. WHEN I CAME TO THE BOLT BINS I JUST KEPT ON PAINTING BECAUSE I FIGURE I HAVE TO CLEAN UP MY RECYCLED BOLTS BEFORE I USE THEM SO REMOVING A LITTLE PAINT WON'T TAKE MUCH, LOL.

I FIGURED I WOULD PAINTED THE STEEL SHELVES IN MY LITTLE SHOP. OF COURSE I RAN OUT OF PAINT WHEN I WAS ALMOST DONE. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT ALMOST A WEEK FOR MORE PAINT BECAUSE IT IS THE GREAT WHITE NORTH. PAINTING MY LITTLE SHOP IS TAKING A LONG TIME BUT IT WILL BE WORTH IT.

AT THE END OF SUMMER I DO THE SERVICING ON THE BOAT MOTORS WHICH MAY SEEM BACKWARDS BUT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. IN EARLY SPRING THE PARTS ARE NOT ON THE SHELVE BECAUSE IT IS THE START OF THE SEASON. ONLY IN THE GREAT WHITE NORTH WE DO THINGS BACKWARDS, LOL.

I'M GETTING TO USE THE PINK CREW CAB AT MY "REAL JOB" TO HAUL THE OLD DRILL CORE FROM THE 1960s. ALL THESE BOXES ARE HAND STACKED SO AT THE END OF THE DAY YOUR BODY IS HURTING FOR SOME REASON, LOL.

TONIGHT I SPLASHED A COUPLE OF COATS OF PAINT ON THE SHOP DOORS AFTER ONLY WORKING 8 HOURS AT MY "REAL JOB". I GOT THINKING THAT IT WAS 5 YEARS AGO THAT I PAINTED THE DOORS WHITE FOR THE FIRST TIME. OH MY, TIME SURE IS FLYING BY.

THE RAINS HAVE COME SO I ENJOYED THE AFTERNOON PAINTING THE CEILING IN MY LITTLE SHOP. AFTER 50 YEARS THE WOOD SURE SOAKED UP THE PAINT FOR SOME REASON. NEXT ANOTHER COUPLE OF COATS ON THE WALLS, THEN I CAN CLEAN UP THE SHOP TO BEGIN WORKING ON "THE ROCKET" AND "DIESEL"

THE CATERPILLAR SERVICE TRUCK BOUNCED OVER THE SO-CALLED ROAD TO DO A LITTLE REPAIRS ON THE BIG D8R. OF COURSE I HAD TO DRIVE "THE HOOD" OVER TO SEE HOW THE REPAIRS WERE GOING. MY 60 YEAR OLD CAT LOOKS A LITTLE SMALL EVEN TO THE BIG SERVICE TRUCK, LOL.
AUG 21 2010
ANOTHER RELAXING DAY IN THE "KINGDOM" IN WHICH I GOT SOME TIMBERS READY FOR A FELLOW'S CABIN. GOOD THING HE OWNS A TOUGH CHEVY FOR HAULING, LOL.

AUG 20 2010
TODAY WAS A RELAXING DAY IN THE "KINGDOM". I USED THE WALL PANELS FROM A DRILL TO WHIP UP A WOOD SHED FOR ALL THE SCRAP WOOD I HAVE BEEN GETTING. BETWEEN UNEVEN GROUND, ALL DIFFERENT SIZES OF PANELS AND OF COURSE NOTHING IS STRAIGHT. THE LITTLE WOOD SHED TURNED OUT PRETTY GOOD.

IT SEEMS A LITTLE STRANGE TO SEE BIG NEW STYLE EQUIPMENT PARKED IN THE "KINGDOM". THIS CONTRACTOR NEEDED A PLACE TO PARK HIS EQUIPMENT BEFORE THE JOB STARTS AND THERE IS ALWAYS LOTS OF ROOM THE "KINGDOM".

WE CHEATED THE OTHER DAY WHEN CLEANING THE TRACKS OUT ON THE CATS. WE USED THE BIG AIR COMPRESSOR TO BLOW OUT THE TRACKS INSTEAD OF SHOVELING THEM OUT. A LOT EASIER ON THE BACK WHEN YOU ARE MY AGE, LOL.

BUDDY BARRY GOT TO HAUL THIS CAT OVER THE SO-CALLED ROAD TO THOMPSON. WELL IT WAS NOT VERY CLEAN WHEN IT ARRIVED DUE TO ALL THE RAIN WE HAVE GOTTEN IN THE LAST WEEK.

ONE OF THE JOYS OF THE FOREST FIRES IN THE GREAT WHITE NORTH IS THE MORNING SMOKE. ONCE THE WIND PICKS UP THE SMOKE IS GONE. IT IS JUST LIKE A FOG BUT A LITTLE SMELLY, LOL.

A LADY FRIEND OF MINE DECIDED NOT TO LISTEN TO XENA AND DROVE THE BOAT WHERE THERE WERE A FEW ROCKS. THEN SHE LEFT ME TO FIX THE BROKEN MOTOR ONLY HOURS BEFORE THE AMERICAN OWNER SHOWED UP TO USE HIS BOAT ON HIS HOLIDAYS. IT ONLY TOOK $13,000.00 TO GET A BRAND NEW MOTOR ON HIS BOAT WHICH WAS THE FASTEST WAY TO FIX HIS BROKEN MOTOR. THIS "REAL JOB" SURE IS NICE BECAUSE NOW I HAVE MONTHLY PAYMENTS AND A REASON TO WORK, LOL.

BEEN A LITTLE BUSY IN THE GREAT WHITE NORTH THESE LAST FEW WEEKS. HERE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES SHOWING BUDDY BARRY'S NEW CAT ON THE FIRE LINE WITH THE WATER BOMBER OVER HEAD. OH THE FUN WE HAD, LOL.

MY DUMB COMPUTER HAS TAKEN A DISLIKE TO ME AGAIN. BUDDY BARRY'S SHOP TRUCK NEEDED A LITTLE HELP STRAITENING THE BENT FRAME HORNS SO I COULD MAKE A TOW BAR AND SCREEN. NOW THE TRUCK CAN BE TOWED BEHIND THE GRADER.

JUST A QUICK UPDATE ON THE STEAM ENGINE. IN MY SPARE TIME AT MY "REAL JOB", I HAVE BEEN TAKING IT APART TO FIND OUT HOW GREAT OF SHAPE IT IS IN.

TODAY I WAS OUT ON THE D5G FROM MY "REAL JOB" AND FOUND THIS NICE STEAM ENGINE. IT IS A LEONARD BALL AUTOMATIC ENGINE WHICH I CAN'T FIND TOO MUCH ON THE INTERNET. I HAD XENA WASH IT UP TO SEE WHAT IT NEEDS.
