Ah-Boy--this just looks "McGyviers-ish' right off the bat. Rivets tin/strips--ok I'm looking forward here--I like when WE take fixin's into our own hands.
What Are You Doing Today? Post a Pic
I've been doing dirtwork with my Cub 3240 and bucket. Stopped to grill for lunch. Chuckeyes, burgs and dogs. Medium for me(up top after being on the bottom for a bit) well done for her....
That's what I'm up to. What are you doing today? Edited 12-7-20

It's just what old poor folk doLol, all I need is a mullet.
I grew up very poor and we always got the most out of what we bought. I know I drive my wife crazy doing stuff like this but it drives me crazy when her parents would buy new appliances just to get a new model when the old one was fine.
Couple that with new stuff dying prematurely and I'm even less likely to buy new when old is working well, with...ahh...a few tweaks here and there.

Man--I understand all about the young and being poor part--but when I was young--you didn't know any difference..It was just part of who you were...
All I’ve done the past almost two weeks is work and blow snow. At least that is what it feels like. Next blizzard is suppose to start between 4-5am. We did have some good melting today, got to 39F! Back down to -5F on Sunday morning…. These pictures are about 48 hrs apart.

Ouch, I did that with a windshield from a tractor can a few years ago. Ended up at Urgent Care on a Sunday to have them relieve the pressure under my toe nail. That toenail still isn’t right….
Casio CFX9850 - sits on my desk at work. It’s been with me since 1998.
In lieu of a fine drill bit, a sewing needle heated to red hot with a flame, then carefully/gently applied will instantly and safely pierce through the nail and garner the same result (with the "squirt")
Aaahhh ... Yeeesss, thaaat's better 🎼🌼

Paper clip red hot is good. The blunt tip is less painful. I had a doc use a hypodermic needle and jabbed that spear point deep into the crushed nail bed. Good lord that hurt.In lieu of a fine drill bit, a sewing needle heated to red hot with a flame, then carefully/gently applied will instantly and safely pierce through the nail and garner the same result (with the "squirt")

Kicking back on the couch after a good day at work. I have a student doing my job for me.
She was walking a patient who passed gas loudly, it startled her and she let go of the walker, twisted around and said "Oh my God!!" then lost balance and my student had to prevent her from falling.
First flatulent induced near fall I have witnessed or heard of. She told the OT who evaluated her that "I can trip on air." She literally did with my student--hot air.
Watching a good old movie, Conan the Ball-bearing. "Crush enemies, see them driven before you..." Love it.

I’ve watched it snow and then blow around all day.

I’m staring at this 3’ x 20’ x 100’ between the house and the shop at the moment. Trying to decide if I want to be proactive or not.

The relief of a hot paper clip or safety pin is amazing…. In the case of my toe, I couldn’t reach my toe (since I twisted my back trying to catch the windshield) and my wife (the nurse) said we needed to have a Dr look at it because of the swelling. Turns out I broke the tip of my toe (that bone fragment is still floating around) and ended up in a walking shoe for the better part of 6 weeks to try and get the bone to heal.
Guys you need to get some steel toe shoes.
They come in styles from sneakers to high top work boots. That said those of you that had to go to the doctor just paid for a pair.
My day went like this. Got up made breakfast. Eggs with raisin pancakes. Toped off with a banana.

path lead. Then off to bank to close the wives retirement account. They collected the required paperwork. Now to wait.
Still made my 12:20 treatment at the usual 20 minutes early.
Decided we were both worn out and headed home for lunch and a well needed nap.
Weather is supposed to be cold the next few days and the house that the water was to be turned on has no heat. With temperatures in the teens and not getting above freezing the water will have to wait.
Presently wet, raining and windy.
I also cleaned this up after the nap.
Isn't old but still a roll top worth being saved.
Spent to long cleaning it and messed up my right thumb. Back had also had it by then also. Need to make a new door and it needs some refinishing. But it was free and headed to the trash.
Took a pain pill for both back and thumb. Both are doing better for now.
That picture didn't fall any where close to it intended spot.
