Single stage urethane enamel. So no clear coat and a little more like what was used in 1922. I was fixing to say, whatever it was it had that old time enamel look to it. Cool, thank you, I was hoping so. I hope all the die hard pre-war car purists see it as you do. Auto Effects owner Skip did the work, he is a master at his trade, one of the best.

Started off checking chips in cameras on south end where we caught hogs two weeks ago......darn things are still around.
Then went and checked on a timber crew before running back up to where Louann had the 4-wheelers and drip torches ready so we could have a go at a small burn.
Not as much wind as NWS forecast.....and more humidity and less sun.......so making it burn was a challenge. Ended up traipsing across it a number of times, actually too many times for the amount of good we did.
Got about a 65-75% burn on it.......
Ran back to the house, grabbed a couple of cold adult beverages ( NEEDED THEM! ), hopped into one of the electric carts and went to change the chips on the north end.
Getting a bit hot for old people to be burning.......which is sad because we promised to run over to Worthington Springs tomorrow and help a friend burn......dumb....just dumb.....

On the tenth when the storms came through, I started cutting up downed trees and piling them in the pasture. Today, I did the same thing. Fortunately, I have a couple of young fellers helping me. !2 trees down in the yard, upwards of 50 more in the pastures. No power for 6 days, no phone and internet til today. I will be cutting and piling for the next several months.

Do you eventually burn the downed trees altuck? Just curious as I had to stop burning a few big logs from a left over storm event. Too hot and too dry. The dry weather isn’t stopping the land clearing and burning for a new road development though.

Today.......left Louann to keep a eye on the burn we did yesterday......and to go pull camera chips and look for hog sign so we can run dogs on Sunday morning......loaded up a 4-wheeler, drip torches, a few tools and a couple of radios and headed over to Worthington Springs where a group of us...11 in all tossed fire on the ground.
Odd thing......and maybe this is politics?.....not the one of us was under 60......and it was 90+ today......and we were stringing fire.....and I didn't hear anyone whining. Nor did anyone carp and whine when it was time to bust through the gallberry and palmettos to set spots so the fire would move faster. And.....two of the line bosses were women over 60...real women...women who.....well.....I'll shut up now as this is not the "Politics" section.

. I bought a griddle top for my camp chef one burner. Although it came preseasoned I spent some time adding additional layers of crisco to build up the base. I never griddled before so it will be a learning process.

Nice looking venue Ferris. A good cup of Java and I could dig it.

Drinking wine spodie odie, drinking wine. This is as good of a time to post this song. It has nothing to do with you though.
