May run to the grocery.

I forgot to turn the dryer on, so laundry just got knocked back an hour.

I imagine he put one in since he is super careful with electrical wiring. I still need to learn what to do if I ever need to use it and he isn't around. He's a bit older than me and he just does things without telling me how to do it myself. While I appreciate him taking care of things, I don't want to be that clueless widow some day that has no idea how to take care of myself.

That's the big reason for shutting off the main breaker in the way yours is setup.

The transformer will work in reverse also. Normally it takes 7200v and transforms it into 240 for your house. If you don't shut off the main and back feed 240v into the transformer then it will send 7200v back out on the transmission line.

This rain may just get the tractor pull cancelled. The son is wanting to go. It was already rescheduled because of rain the last time.

Gotta go look. At the rate he's going on this truck, he is going to need a winter project. Hannah might prefer a car.

That looks good target. Looks like I see red pepper.
I've never been able to make a decent sauce.

that is a sweet car, I still miss my 68, but I would miss 48,000 even more

That one might be a bit over Grandpa's budget. And it isn't blue or red....

A little bit of red pepper flakes. It leans more to a North Carolina ketchup / vinegar sauce.

Yeah I don't know what kind of money they bring anymore, but that's a chunk of change. It does look good, and that 5 speed swap would make it a good driver.

Older vehicles are going for insane prices...but so are new ones. I paid $4,200 for one of mine and $4,000 for the other one. It made putting a $5,000 engine reasonable when I figured I'd have a solid, rust-free truck that will last me for many years for under $10,000. I sure can't buy one of those. Both of mine are super clean. Paint isn't perfect but it is pretty amazing to see a 35-40 year old truck with zero rust on the frame/undercarriage.

That's what I always say.

I bought my first house and 3 acres of earth for less than these vehicles
