Guess I'm doing this retirement thing all wrong, there's been entirely too many time for me to open up the place

Quote from: KentuckySouthern on February 25, 2025, 11:54:28 AMNice farm steads all.  Lots like them all over here in rural Michigan...I know that some quite old homes had the kitchen w/stove in a separate structure so the kitchen could have a fire and not burn down the main house.

I thought it was so the heat from the kitchen wouldn't heat up the rest of the house in the summer.  But either reason would work :-)

Yep, us Pennsylvania German's call them summer kitchens.

Not sure what to think of your little machine shop, almost seems like cheating Enjoying your progress.

Bills/Chiefs is the only CBS game on in the late slot.

Always enjoy your tutorials

Good evening all,

Having watched a World Series game, probably won't start tonight either

Quote from: chris.mincemoyer on October 27, 2024, 10:57:43 AMHey guys,

Long time lurker, thought I might start participating as the days are getting shorter.

Last night met up with some fellow retirees from prison (staff, not inmate lol) prior to seeing George Thorogood and the Destroyers at the local casino. Classic rocker started his show at 7:00 PM, done at 8:30, we were home in time for me to catch the second half of the Penn State game.

Hmmm!
A Mincemoyer and Penn State fan. There are a bunch of Mincemoyers around my part of metro Philly? Are you part of the clan?
Now that the deck is 95% stained, I've got to focus on my MMR efforts and prepping for the annual Harrisburg Christmas show. Reading Modular has one module depicting the drive-in theater at Sinking Springs, PA. The screen is a small TV set connected to a DVD player. Can you imagine five showings a day for six straight days of Polar Express, WITH SOUND on?
Onward!

Considering there were two brothers who emigrated from the Stutgartt area in the late 1800's it's quite possible.

We'll be easy to find....look for the Tootsie Rolls

Here in NW PA at noon, it's 8 degrees with a -2 windchill. Sunday into Monday 8 - 16 inches of the white stuff.

Wow that looks great. What does the alcohol do for this process? Doesn't appear you used as a wash.

Retirement calendar? No more than 2 years,  10 days

Sorry to hear the news Tom, not unexpected but still hard to fathom
