Nice. looks like some micrometers and a dial indicator. The wooden tool chest looks like a Gerstner. Pull out the bottom drawer and look in to see if it is. It will have the logo stamped in it. Gerstner makes quality stuff.

Oh man. I grew up about a mile down the road from Colony shopping center. Rode my bike there all the time. That pharmacy had a grill and soda shop in it when it was built. A few years later there was a grill fire and almost burned the store down. They rebuilt the store but when they did they didn't put the grill back in. That was mid 1970's. 1981 I got my work permit and worked at Mayberry's ice cream shop at the corner. The next year I got a job at the Lock Stock & Barrel at the other corner.

The merthiolate was in the medicine cabinet when we bought our house (and hasn't moved). The flyer came out of the house we rented on Lynwood Lane in 2012/13 while we were renovating our old house.

Does the 285's fit with no spacers? My plan was to pick up a set of 245 Falken BI-877's when mine is due. Brandon at rides has had good reports of them. Seem to be a good balance of price and quality.

There's about 5/8-3/4" minimum gap between them unloaded (and empty truck at 120psi :lol:).

Camera makes it look tighter than it is. (Thats what she said)

With 245s i think you would have no issue at all.

I'm debating between a 1/2" spacer or a 1". I would just do the 1", but then I would have to buy and replace 20 $tud$, so I might just do 1/2". The tires are rated at 6395lbs each (25580# for 4 :eek:), so even if I max the rear axle out at 14,500lbs, thats still only 57% rated capacity so they shouldn't bulge too much :D

Well I'll be damned. I though they all closed up decades ago.

I remember about 25 years ago the one near where I lived (its closed down now) use to sell surplus rifles and ammo. Stuff like the British Enfield, AK, SKS, etc. They also sold nice audio equipment. It seems odd now.

Roses parent company is Variety Wholesalers out of Henderson NC
LARGE distribution center there.
As you can imagine the inside of there is about as organized at the stores...
I can’t say much more...
 
Just checked the tracking on a prototype for something for work (of course we'd get it from f*cking China, where else? :shaking:)....maybe I'm still but a child. I just found this funny. I all but showered my computer with coffee through my nose.

Hey, you're bored in quarantine and working from home right? How much to come build me a cabin like yours? I have plenty of trees and a sawmill :D

Man, no way! That was a one and done building! It took me two years of working on the weekends and using my vacation days.

Mobile yes. What is this "free" word you speak of? I've heard of it in my acquisitions vocabulary, but not in my selling and services vocabulary? :p

:lol:

I'm simply waiving the storage fee. Think of it as a barter exchange, in a sense. It'll free up space around your property for all the other stuff you have on your current wish list (we both know there's big things on there). I'll even put a brand new blade on it for you (after I wear out 1 or 5) :smokin:

Come down this weekend or next and help me cut and stack the 20 or so logs I have sitting beside it and we might can work something out.
