A journey with my boys- The Elf Barn as I call it. (1 Viewer)

Haha. Mac and Cheese, sausage, bbq, chitos, takis, corn dogs, pizza, tweezlers, steady staple of land cruisers, and yes…..wait for it……some vittles.

Thanks for taking me back @thatcabledude!!! Hard to imagine this thread started in Feb 2018. Holy Moly! Not that long ago. It’s packed full of memories. He is almost 6’ and 190lbs. Some pics of him handing me tools while I worked on the 80. Him on orange peel our mini tractor. He is quite the equipment operator.

Basically the staples of my two beanpoles. Could use a little more cruiser in their diets though

Precious times, they go by way to fast !!!
My son was visiting last weekend, Hard to believe he he turned 30 this year seems like we were just dropping him off for college.

Wait until they turn 40!

Score!!

Nothing like out fitting a new shop. New space for tools. Organizing all the stuff that was crammed up in every corner of the old space. Finding stuff you though was gone! It's a great feeling!!

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

It’s ever so obvious to me that getting it organized gets zen in the barn. I also sense that it’s a work in progress as we work day to day. Aha moments on where to place things based on routine use or workflow happens the more time we spend in the barn. Not shy to admit that I have a few duplicates because “I did not have one”. I did. Just not obviously visible.

 

[waiting for time]

Having space is a luxury And a curse.
You first buy the stuff you don’t need as the opportunity presents itself, you have room for it so why not.
Then you need something but there is no more room to put it.

Got Rootbeer some City Racer LEDs. The elves drive the rig at night at did not feel good about the old lights. Safety upgrade. Well worth it.

Great milestone for my son. Mighty proud. bluebonnet finally moved on its own power. Going to the exhaust shop today and then time for ECU learning and leg stretching.

It’s “leaving the barn”

 

[Honger]

Yes! Epic day!

And I love what the Griot's is doing for the patina paint.

 

[CaptClose]

Duuuuuuude! That’s awesome

Going to try this on Bluebonnet to see if we can do better than the wipes.

Also going to try wet-blasting with play sand and this monster. Old Landy will be first under the knife.

After you get that thing cleaned up let @Cowboy45 know that I got him!

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Previous owner of old Landy wore pink crocs. I see a close pink in those options. Peptobismal pink.

@dieseldog is your go-to of sources for stylish crocs! I prefer manly camo ones myself.
