Good Morning everyone,

I've been working on a number of old electric signs and clocks. Amazing how many started working with just a new bulb or starter. I wired my new display room with receptacles high up on the wall or on the ceiling all around the room. They and the globe shelves are hooked up to one switch. It'll be fun to flip that switch when I get everything up and working. Just starting on that task.

Have a great day in Oldgasland!

Good morning gang!

We got a little snow last night. I have to run up north to pick up a bear head for our cabin that I bought in an auction. My wife does not seem to be too excited about it, so I told here fine, I will hang it up in our bedroom! She is pretty excited it is going in the cabin now!! LOL

Women are easy to deal with, ha!

Other than that, shop is buried in work, my arm is feeling better so I am going to bowl tonight.

I hope everybody has a good Monday!


FREEDOM oil items wanted.

Morning all! Sounds like a real fun project Jim! Can't wait to see it finished!
We have a few more fantastic days of very mild weather scheduled for North Dakota before colder temps return to us!
It was a great weekend for fishing and the Warden and I did very well on Walleyes yesterday.
I was lucky enough to land the 2 --22 inchers that I'm holding. These 2 are about a 4 pound fish, and are terrific table fare!
I'm going to get a couple of outside jobs done today with the warm weather, and save the shop work for the cold weather when it returns!
Have a great day on me!!--KEVIN

the fish look tasty Kevin... and the signs in the background look even better!

Had a laid-back weekend for once... and got to get a few things done in the garage yesterday. Finally got some wiring done and also FINALLY hung my united motors sign, it had been sitting on my workbench for over a month. Also relocated my lollipop signs to open up some more floor space.

weather is about typical hear... cant complain. anything over 25-degrees in January is okay with me. have a good day all.

Morning all, Been down in the country several days. We had the perfect snow Sat. just cowered the ground and gone by night fall.

Looks like you guys have been staying busy. Jim when I built my garage I put my plugs 4ft up the wall and 6ft. apart. Inspecter took one look at them and said your going to run a business. Several years have come and gone and I have yet to convince the power company otherwise. I need to change from two meters too a 400 amp meter base and get it off the high rate . On my list of things to do this spring. Sometimes I live and learn the hard way.

Ryan bear head in the bedroom! That will teach her! LOL!

HAGD-ALL!!

Beautiful weather here til Thursday they say so I think we are going up to the lake and see if we can catch some crappie tomorrow. Hope we have as good luck as you Kevin. Although I'd rather be catchin walleye than crappie our walleye are really hard to corner down here this time of year and the crappie are just as tasty. I might get away with a bear head at the cabin Ryan, but my boss says no mounted livestock in the house either! I get away with ducks and pheasants, but those are the limit for her. All you guys posting pictures of your displays keeps me going on mine, but it's a long process to get anywhere it seems. Have a great day all....GB

Was almost 70 around here today so I finally was able to get the Christmas lights down and put away.


Always looking for Frontier and Beeline items.
