I held off in buying a new miter saw. Know the brand and saw I want. Glad I did. It's on sale!!! $100+ off. 
It's been said that rats can gain access to your home by climbing up threw your toilet. I prefer to use the front door.

I found a used engine lift plate on sale.  It is the only way to move an engine from my vehicle!

The generic one at the store ... does not fit.  It must be for those old crappy carburated stinking pieces of unsophisticated junk we call classic cars.  You know, the ones that need a new engine every 100K miles?  Which is why the auto parts stores sells the lift plate for them.  Yeah let's use a holly carburator, and we can readust it every 2000ft elevation change, deal with hard starts in winter, and the occasional flooded engine.  And fouled jets... bah!  Things aint like they used to be.  Yeah some minivans have as much power as muscle cars of yesteryear and some Jeeps can go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds and have 1000 Hp engines, all fuel injected.  Oh and that 1000Hp Jeep meets emissions, but wait, emission controls reduce horse power.  Horse poo.

Finally getting rid of my collection of dead lawn mowers. Be nice to have room in the shed again.

For better or worse,  I've removed old engine from my stinking piece of car.
Now can I put in a new one? Who knows.

The 'new' used lawn mower I bought is a monster. I cut tall wet grass like it was 3 inches high. No clogging or bogging down. Also uses less gas.

New engine is "installed" but needs more hook-up work as well as a lot of other things, like prayers.
I am finally getting over a killer cold from hell.

New engine started and ran well! A little smoke and noise till it ran for 10 min.  This is normal from what I've read.

Bad news is air conditioning compressor blew up.  Turns out it was bad... go figure.  So vehicle is not being driven.  It takes weeks to get the part.  I'm tired of this.

Is this your Jeep? Can you get a belt for a model without air conditioning and use that until parts come in?

Good news here: We finally got some rain! I hope it keeps the fires at bay this year.

Hi Varg, yeah my silly old blue jeep.  New engine new transmission.  Both working.  I didn't think to get the bypass belt or whatever it's called. Don't know if it is available.  Good thing is ac compressor came in.  Now I just need time to put it in and refill gas

Discovered that I'm featured in at least two videos shot at the Memorial Day Parade last weekend.

It's a journey of two and a half miles from my camp to the bus stop in Niland. When i first tried walking that distance it took me several hours, mostly because i had to frequently stop, sit down and rest. I've been making the walk somewhat frequently every time I have to go to town for food and today it took me just over one hour.

I'm also 177lbs now, my resting heartrate has decreased from 98 to 80 and my bp has decreased from hypertension to just barely high.

You wouldn't think living in the wasteland would make an old cripple like me healthier but you can't argue with results.
It also helps that I'm very far away from my relatives that made me hate my life and I'm 3 years clean from my opiate addiction.

Not getting one right now but I'm thinking of maybe getting a hamster, if dad agrees to it.
