What's this guy up to now?

Always see more things when I don't bring the actual camera. :/ Anyways here's a picture taken with my cell phone telephone.

Picture of a small garter snake slithering through the grass. It's black with yellow stripes. I couldn't get real close as they're rather timid.

I'm gonna go ahead and call this project done.

Picture of the deck on the front of my house. It's brown treated lumber. There's a big Linden tree beside it.

Unsolicited deck pic.

Guess I must be weird, here's my millennial design choice. 😅

Picture of my bathroom. The walls are mint green. The vanity cabinet, trim, mirror frame and bottom half of the walls are natural wood.

Wildflowers.

Definitely time for replacement. 😅

Picture of a rotten wood board on my deck. It's literally crushing apart.

Picture of some more rotted boards with nails pulling out.

Yes, you guessed it, even more rotted boards.

Full out working on the deck and this guy is just hanging out on my foot. I guess the universe is telling me I need a break.

Probably woodworking tools. A lot of them are turn of the century (I guess last century now, early 1900's)

Picture of one of my old "stanley #3" hand plane from the early 1900's.

Work truck doing work truck stuff.

Picture of my 1986 gmc pickup truck with a box full of lumber. It's a regular cab, long box truck in kinda rough shape. The lumber is mostly 10 and 14 foot long sticking out past the box.

Just a spiky little guy.

I don't want to jinx it, but I might actually get a pear this year!? This is the first year my small tree bloomed, this is the only one I found on the larger tree.

Purple. 🌱

Might be the first year I get flowers on my peonies.

Picture of a flower bud on a peony plant. There's a little ant crawling around on it.

🌼Just some blooms from around the yard.

Picture of a clump of dandelions. There's a happy little bumble bee on one of them.

Yeah, pretty much. Nothing super fancy.

We can rebuild him. We have the technology. Better. Stronger. Faster...?

Picture of the broken handle on my manual soil tiller. It's made of thin wall pipe.

Jerkwads are out. :/

Fired up the old truck today. It was a bit cranky, but it had pretty much sat all winter. Didn't even have to put the battery on charge. 😎 (it sat all winter because it has some heater fan issues, and driving around at -30 without heat is not fun 😅)

Picture of my 1986 gmc pickup truck parked in front of my garage. It's blue and white and primer grey.

Happy ✨️whimsical✨️ Wednesday! Share a photo of you embracing your whimsy Actually, I'm a very serious person. No whimsy here.

Picture of me inside a large hole I cut in the floor of my old truck, scratching my head, looking confused as to where I am.

Picture of me looking metal, throwing devil horns standing in a field of wildflowers.

Picture of a (poorly) painted bee I put on some outdoor planter boxes I build.

Word on the street is you guys like squirrels.

Hey, you got any games on your phone?

Picture of a deer looking towards the camera. It's on the other side of a barbed wire fence. The grass and trees around are brown and dead, as it's still early spring up here.

Still needs a bit of fine tuning, but it's like 97% complete. Even plugged it in for a little test, and it sounds pretty good.

Picture of my custom built project guitar. The body is purple and black with gold hardware.

Hey, so remember when I impulse bought an old Nissan engine? I've been slowly collecting parts for the rebuild. Well, I finally made a decision as far as intake/fuel delivery. Finding a decent deal on these was a big factor. 😅

Picture of a pair of Hitachi SU carburetors on my work bench. They're attached to an inline 6 intake manifold. All the linkages are attached.

Frets leveled, crowned, and polished. I really like how this board turned out. It will still darken more with age. Just need a few more coats of finish, then I can start assembling.

Picture of my project guitar on my work bench in the shop. The top is ash wood dyed purple with black grain.

Close-up of the fretboard. It's Bocote wood, medium dark brown in colour. The fret markers are purple with brass rings around them.

Picture of the backside of the guitar. The body is painted black with visible grain patterns. The neck is multiple pieces of contrasting coloured natural wood laminated together.

Got the cab done! The amp isn't done just yet, but I plugged it into the Mesa for a short test. First impression is that there's less low end, not surprising given they're 10's vs 12's. What was surprising was the high end seemed less shrill. So I guess just overall more mid-rangey.
