The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Quick catch up today, and I didn't get through everything. MIA on the 4th, so happy late 4th to all you spooners out there.

Spent the afternoon tearing into one of the daily drivers. Rust mites ate out the shock mount on the rear, so ordered a replacement panel, and some welding blankets to keep the rest of the interior from going up in flames when the sparky-arching starts. Tore half the interior out to get at the rusted panel, only to find the other side is close to going too. So need to find the opposite panel too. Just for the record, I really really extra fucking hate rust.

I really shouldn't be repairing this car, but someone is really in love with it and wants to keep driving it. A weekend or two of patching, and it'll be good for a couple more years. So fair trade, I guess.

Might head off to town to buy a few more odds and ends tools that will make this job easier... Like most problems, just throw money at it! :ROFLMAO:
 
Sounds familiar.


Saw a lotta lotta rust buckets on the way home.


The anvil I stopped to look at going in, I stopped again going out. No one was there and the car is unlocked, so I opened to door to look at the VIN plate.


I wanted a big '54. That one-year-only engine. It's a '53. I may call anyway to put my name in so the littler engine doesn't get scrapped.
 
They are in higher demand now and for the last few years.

Part of me sez I should sell it and let someone enjoy it more… but the other parta me sez, this will be a great winter or retirement project.
Keep it as a project..... make it what you want it to be.... and then sell if you decide to. To me 2/3rds of the fun is the restore/rebuild. Let someone who may not have the tools-skills etc enjoy down the road.
 
Quick update before I hit the road. Momma is home but in a lot of pain.

I would love to learn those. Teach me? 💃 🕺
Used to be you'd need to plonk a pile of money down and spend several weeks with the Fred Astaire Dance School... but nowadays? YouTube remains your friend... loads of lovely people willing to show you how it's done
 
My dad called and he wanted me to come over... so I went and we had hotdogs and Cole slaw.... my sister said she would go over Tuesday and Thursday to help and i would take the other 6 days... well she didnt do either...well she did show up last sunday at 5 in the evening and stayed for 2 hrs. she also did show up Wednesday at the restaurant for dinner after I and my friends helped my dad mow 2 acres and trim the evergreen tree (drag the leaving to the burn pile)....

So the convo where we talked and she promised to help me take care of mom and dad so I dont get overwhelmed didnt mean shit.... lesson learned

Edit: i am apparently pissed off but I will get over it
Awww, honey! I'm so sorry! That sucks! 🫂
 
My new jelly cabinet 40$. Not perfect but I love it... gonna be my pantry/ storage and old pantry is gonna be storage for broom mop vacuum and laundry stuff like the iron large bottles of laundry stuff....

My house is short on storage...

Then where vacuum is by front door will strictly be for coats and shoes so they are not piled by my front door ...

Haven't decided what will go on wall on top of cabinet... just leaned stuff to get a feel for it

It also needs a good cleaning and maybe a wipe down with wood restore
This is lovely! 😍😍
 
It’s a permanent PM. Had it installed and she sounded good yesterday but was in a lot of pain. They gave her meds and she slept Ok…released this morning and is back home but in lots of pain. They discharged her with only Tylenol…we’re calling to see if we can get something a little more…powerful. Long recovery for both of these procedures. It’s going to be a busy summer…and she’s still facing the hysterectomy come Aug.🥺

Thanks again for all the well wishes. This too will pass. Hopefully she’s on a path to a good recovery. Lazy River MZ.

Did you get something for pain? Can she take Aleve? The generic name is Naproxen. She can take one every 12 hours. Try for a schedule where the Aleve is given at its own time rather than with the Tylenol. You can do the same with ibuprofen but it can be taken more often.

Ablation typically doesn't cause pain. She may have some incisional pain from the pacer box implantation. Did she get a defibrillator too?
 
Well, the cabana boy has been busy today. I power washed all of our deck chairs, and also our outdoor teak table.

It all looks as nice as the day we bought them. Very satisfying.

We’re having another couple over tonight and then having a big cookout on Sunday afternoon

These look great! At least someone is getting the benefits of the cabana boy! 😄
 
It was good to spend some time with the large poodles, and Daisy the huge Lab girl, and Fred the (former) barn cat. Fred bit me and clawed me. Goats are good, chickens are good, ducks are good, outside cats are good. This pair isn't very social. No matter. Machines are put away. Packing has kinda commenced.


Dipshits have fireworks. Poodles great and small aren't fans.


I'm hit the rack then . . . .
Fireworks were insane here!
