Didn't know Sunoco called their containers a pail and hope you weren't calling me a dumb ***.....I know I can be an *** sometimes though.....
Thing is, I bought my racing gas by the drum and then pumped what I needed into jugs for race day.....usually 2 5 gallon jugs.

Anyways, advertised more 'large' stuff on FB Market place today. Hopefully I'm still ahead of the slowdown for the Christmas season.

I mixed and poured some concrete for footings for a shed.
Neigbour helped. I started mixing concrete by hand, with a mixer, over sixty years ago. Does it ever end.
Shirley is in Europe, so I am home alone. Have a bunch of chores to do, and making progress.

Went on our annual deep reef ling cod, rock fish and crabbing trip. The lings were biting good, the rock fish not so much, although we ended up close to our limit. Crabbing was pretty good with 66 crabs for 10 guys. Here's Ricky with the 1st ling of the day which happened to earn him $50 in our $5 big fish pool.

Went up to a local Pick-N-Pull wrecking yard and pulled some disc brake parts off a 71 Polara.
I was asked what the car looked like.
Terrible. Must have been sitting outside, for decades.
But, it was a Disc Brake car.
I got everything brake related off it.
Disc brake spindles, rotors & hubs, calipers, caliper mount brackets, dust shields, all the bearings, seals, and all the nuts and bolts that were on everything.
Now the cleaning, rebuilding begins, and then the "C" bodies site.

I went to a U pull I had never been to over the weekend.
They were affiliated with the one that closed recently that was much closer to my house.
Looking for a painted Dakota/Durango grill.
They had three Dakotas, all with chrome grills.
The one Durango should have had a painted grill, but it was gone.
It did have a complete 5.9, though.
Almost too bad I already have one sitting.

95% complete on My 64 D100.
Had some stainless step covers and tailgate cap made locally.
Put bedliner on the inside of the box
Still needs some minor sand/buffing, but not too bad for a first paint try.
Also put on the new rallye wheels/tires.
Soon to be up for sale - time to get back to B bodies!

Other than car work today, I replaced two ballasts and four fluorescent tubes in five fixtures in two shops (between the two shops, there are 30 fixtures total), partially wired for adding some new supplemental LED lights, treated for termites around four buildings, and cut down some trees.

Also got a trailer load of debris out of the apartment renovation.

Hand raked and shoveled about 600 feet up the laneway, getting rid of low spots so it doesn't hold Spring runoff. Sucks my bobcat purchase went sideways, but I've got no choice but to kill my body at this point.

Today I took a floating holiday and waited around for the junk man to collect an old fridge and the bed shell from my Ranchero (couldn’t even give that thing away), he arrives and I notice old computers in the bed of his truck. I’m a retro computer geek, never grew out of liking Commodore computers since my first was a Commodore 64. I hoped for a good find like a Commodore PET computer, no luck but a nice consolation prize, a Radio Shack computer. Filthy and who knows how long it sat, told the guy I wanted it and he said help myself to anything in the truck.
Biggest surprise was the mofo actually works, I seem to have good luck with these things. I’ll have some fun with it and see if I can add some modern perks like WiFi and solid state storage and then see if anyone wants to buy it. If not it can stay in the collection.

Mounted a bracket on my foundation wall that a friend made up for me to attach the trailer to. This allows me to store a car on the trailer out of the way for the winter.

Almost finished my thousand. Have to pull the seat down and restuff it, then chase some grounds. Backyard mopar electrical experts seemed to gravitate to Suzukis in their off time it seems.
