Quite nice John but I gotta say, it's the first carport I've ever seen with a walk-in door.
Does that door actually help keep thieves out? Or maybe the weather? 
Is that like a "dummy locked" padlock just to make it look locked?
so waht ya doin today?

Great day at range yesterday with J bullets today making a bunch of 95 gr 6mm bullets for 6x45 pced. Yesterday it was bright, sunny, and very little wind. Life is good!

Its snowing again. But that didn't stop me from finish installing the 450 BM barrel on my savage action. I mite have to stick my head out the door and test fire it.
We are predicted to get 6 to 14" of snow by tomorrow night.

Ah, the adventures of overhead doors. I installed two new ones in my house a couple of years ago,
not too bad, actually. Has the twin extension springs on cable on the side, WAY less drama than those
torsion springs.
Cleaning up trees and branches again from winter and fall storms. Lots more to do.

I dunno about poking an eye out, but you'll surely take a chunk out of your thumb if you just undo the bolts holding the spring to the bar.
got some of the Garden straightened out today between snow flurries.
the bed and trellis stuff for the peas and cucumbers is built.
the new blueberry/blackberry starts are in [and may or may not make it?] more bulbs went into the flower bed and a couple of new strawberry plants went in to fend for themselves.
if they make it the next 5-6 weeks they will be fine, if not they will be good mulch for the stuff that's there.
a bunch of woodchips got pulled out from around the trees and was moved into the beds and new cedar mulch was put in its place.
one more small bed to prep on the north side and it'll be done, that one can wait till June.
I guess I will start on the south side tomorrow, that shouldn't be too bad I have the containment wires in place and the berry's under control already.
just need to finish the poly tunnel and build the trellis for the tayberry's, then get one other bed prepared and it will be ready to roll until planting time.
maybe I can get it all done tomorrow and move on to something else.

Winter took another, (and I hope final), kick at our behinds starting Wednesday. Motorcycle riding and 76 on Monday. Snow, rain, hail, freezing rain, high winds, lightning, icing, power outages, and power poles snapped off in the area Wednesday and Thursday, the snowy, ugly remnants out the window today. Feeding the birds and squirrels 3 times a day and raking under a spruce where there are some forlorn robins hanging out. I dumped my left over ice fishing maggots on the raked up area and threw out some diced up raisins for them.
Ordered upper A arms bushings for the hot rod and have been taking measurements and doing research on how to deal with its over heating under 25 mph issues.Then I called Tony and Ross Racing and talked 57 Olds engines. My lovely bride said,"Well we can't take it with us." Hitting the debris field I call my loading room today. .308, 8x57, and 06 on the agenda.

ALL IT TAKES IS A SECOND
All i have to say is. Tablesaw. And you know what happened. I was thinking about what i was cutting, And what i had to do next. I tuned out the noise of the spinning blade. I reached over the blade to make an adjustment. The blade was ALMOST stopped but caught my right ring finger on top of the knuckle. it was very superficial compared to what it could have been

did they recommend a higher flow rate from the water pump?
about the only way to get that is to turn the water pump faster by changing the pulley diameter.
when I done the under drive on the Mustang I also added a more open grille design and so far even in slow crawling Vegas type 100-f* days type traffic with the A/C on it's done just fine. [I was really sweating it the first time I encountered it though]
I have to keep it in low gear to crawl along like that otherwise it's constantly shifting up and down and adding more heat to the radiator from the transmission, the few extra RPM's and locking up the converter helps with the heat build up.
wow Kevin:
I got a nice scar and some nerve damage from almost that same scenario.

IIRC that's the one you jack up the motor to get to the rear plugs. Ran great though. Ford did the same with the 56, had to blindly reach under the airbox for the back plug. Not quite as bad as adjusting the tappets on the packard 8, cover is under the exhaust manifold. Had to be done HOT. Yea, the guy that honked the horn while I was doing it survived. I did hot wire the coil to the seat of a car he was working on. Mistakenly did that to future sister in law too - managed to outrun my big bro.
Watch it Kev. Had a kid in wood shop plane off fingers, another got clothing caught in the lathe. Worst one I was around, guy burned out (melted out the buss bar and blew the generators - don't parrallel those suckers) the 440vac 3 phase 400 hz power in a mag of 80 tons of hi explosives.

L Ross, back in the '60s there was a fiberglass blade fan available that was a pretty good option for that kind of problem. The blades had a calculated degree of flex so that at low RPMs the blade pitch was very aggressive. As RPMs (and forward speed) increased the blade pitch would start flattening to reduce drag and conserve fuel.
Dad had one in a small motorhome that was powered by a Chrysler slant six. It kept the engine cooler at low RPMs while getting him a slight increase in overall fuel mileage.
