That's it. I like going to the one in Pooler, GA. because:
It's clean and tidy.
They have great, fresh food; and good variety. Their soups are very good.
They are fast.
The hired help are pleasant, polite, & genuinely friendly.
The customers are not loud and obnoxious.
The customers cleanup their own tables and the hired help make sure the tables, seats, and floor are clean for the next customer.
Pooler is a Shithole. PM me, ask how I know...

2x4's and up to 2x12's....never messed with the 'timber' stuff. In the late 60's and after getting out of the military in the early 70's, I was mostly doing mostly gyprock (outside drywall that got installed on the outside frame for insulation under brick) and decking for both wood shingles and comp. Wood shingle took 'strip decking' using 1x4's. Started out hanging asbestos siding at 14. Last structure that dad and I did together was my shop.....28x52 with no inside supports. Also set forms with dad. For him, that was a money maker and not all too hard to do but he paid me by the hour for that....but I have played with paint sticks before
Nice improvement!!!My wife has been out of town since Monday.
For her birthday, I completely demo'ed our downstairs, replaced the floor tile, countertops, painted the walls, and redid the trim. I've put in 4 consecutive 15hr days. Still need to make a bench seat for under the window, but the hard parts are done
She gets back from her trip on Wednesday. I'm hustling to get everything done so I can surprise her
I love doing stuff like this

Arthritis in mine....sucks.
Don't know if you saw my reply on the other post where mine picked up a bolt head first. That was a first for me. Took the original spare off the steel wheel (Z71 with a steel wheel spare??) and mounted it on a newly bought Z71 wheel from Ebay and placed the OEM 'violated' fixed tire on the steelie for the spare and placed the #5 wheel in the shop for rotation. I originally bought 4 new tires a few months ago and well, the original never been on the ground spare tire had 1/16" more tread. I got took! Cheaper Good Year tires means least tread depth but looks like they are wearing slowly.
Da wife likes to use Hellmann's mayo for potato salad and other things (she makes a killer tater salad!) but I like the 'whip' on scrambled egg sammages.

Oh....and I worked to clean off the Bevedere so I could move it out of the shop and take pics of it etc. Also need to pull parts for it from the attic and get it all in one place. Still haven't pulled it all down but now I can. The Belvedere was sitting between two other vehicles and it wasn't easy to get around it and it took me nearly 2 weeks to get it to where I could get it out of the shop and get up in that portion of the attic.

Since we have been having some pretty nasty weather out here in my area of Northern Commiefornia, snow up in the Sierras, heavy rain, and 40-60 MPH wind, in my area, the wind is de leafing what's left on the trees and then getting in the gutters on the street and sidewalks, and then plugging up all the drains, so the water won't go anywhere and get backed up, flooding areas.
Had nothing much else of anything going on, so i was out in my neighborhood, clearing the drains and gutters, before another heavy rain squall comes in again as the weather folks on the tv are telling us.
Not being a saint or anything, but just being a good resident in the neighborhood that i live in.

Cut some HDPE to make a new wear bar for the 80" blower. As far as she goes for today with a foot of snow forecast for tomorrow. I don't want to tear "working" apart and run into problems now....

Yeah, my Dakota R/T (17x9) had a steelie spare.
I bought a set of R/T wheels (plus another pair with a 9 1/4 SG R/T axle) at junk yards cheap.
I think I gave $150 for both wheels and the axle.
One is now the spare.
Plan was to paint a full set of four "body color" at some point.
My Renegade came without any spare at all.
Bought a correct OEM alloy wheel on ebay for just over a hundred bucks total.
