Thanks for posting this one.

Holding up the fence.

You may get a second shot to buy it, at a reduced price, much reduced. After the auction doesn't meet reserve.

We have only one southern style restaurant locally. Seems pricey. Been meaning to try it. https://theparishcafe.com/healdsburg/

"Thames Trader" The Thames Trader was a range of trucks manufactured by Ford UK built between 1957 and 1965. The Thames Trader model range covered weights from 2 to 7 tons, powered by either petrol or diesel engines in four- or six-cylinder guises. No actual picture of a Truck with D-6 on it has popped up. Just many D-4's.

Shrimp Etouffee have to try making that. Shrimp Etouffee! This classic Louisiana stew is made with shrimp, the Holy Trinity of onion, celery, and green pepper, and a simple roux to thicken it up. Serve it over rice for a true Cajun meal! Étouffée basically means "smothered," and it is a common cooking technique in the South; a fricassee is the same deal. You make a flavorful sauce and cook a meat or fish in it, not so long as a braise or stew, and not so short as a sauté.

I cut 4 of these eucalyptus that I myself had planted along the fence line long ago. The idea was wind break, but they can fall in a heavy winter storm with high winds, Besides they are non-native and really have no business being on this property. it is valley oak territory. These eucalyptus were about 24 to 28 inch diameter at the base. i think 40 feet tall plus, but i didn't measure that. This one was leaning hard over to my neighbor's side of the fence but I pulled it. Put a rope around it, throw the rope up as high as you can get it for leverage. Run the rope around so it is doubled. Put a tow chain around the base of the Oak tree. Then pull on the rope with 2 come alongs. Cut a wedge on the pull side, then back cut. You tighten down with the hand winches. It cracks. You essentially pull it down, not cut it down. You cut it so it's weak, then pull it over. "Arborists" would probably quote me $3,000 each to remove these trees.

I painted my stuff outdoors with the epoxy primer not worried about any small amounts of dust, besides it seems to flash over real quick if you are spraying only light coats. So it's not going to be collecting dust for a long time. So I think i only used like N95 mask, also have a respirator that is like mainly for particles. But mainly if outdoors and a light breeze and you upwind you won't be breathing it. The seat pans had some deep pitted rust i just cleaned up real good, used the de-greaser metal prep stuff and painted right over and it looks good. Some of the smaller body parts i did had some surface rust type starting so i wanted to get that off and prevent it from coming back. i did a couple hoods. https://parcilsafety.com/collections/respirators/products/pd101-full-face-respirator I think I'll get one of these with charcoal filter for organic vapors, for painting indoor the garage, but also leave windows open. I do not see the need for a sealed off paint booth. Not much dust in the air, especially since it has rained now. It's critical you not breathe this stuff, so if you want to do it right, i think the way is a supplied air respirator system, with outside pump and hose supplying fresh air, but it looks like those are around $1k?

This is my other heritage oak, not near the property line. This is what can happen to them. This happened in the middle of summer, no wind, just collapsed. One of three main branches coming off the trunk broke.

Arborist charged me $2,880.00 to prune this oak tree. Reason I had it done is I have a new neighbor, Using their place like a commercial property, parking their Freightliner and other equipment under the oak which extends way over the property line. I don't think they should be parking equipment out in the feild and using a 200 year old oak on my property just for shade. So the point is the arborist crew piddled around for a few hours, trimmed a lot of only small branches and i don't think I got much for my money. After they were done I asked him, the arborist who wasn't actually on site while his crew was here. he said you do not cut any big branches on an oak because it can introduce disease. You trim off small stuff to lighten it. Well they didn't cut much except small stuff, mostly up to the 2 to 3 inch diameter range. And fed that through their $30,000 chipper.

I did not want to say it, but yes that is the preferred method. Not everybody does it that way though. But yes I would put the non-sanding epoxy sealer on the bare metal before the bondo. I would suggest that 2K stuff i mentioned a while back.

Arborists are charging stupidly high prices. The real concern is if you have a big tree that could fall on a neighbor's house. But can you even afford an arborist to come out every other year to inspect and trim it? Not me! This looks like a very small tree and I wouldn't hesitate to drop it myself. I'd expect to be charged a few thousand to have it removed where I live.

What happened to the title of this thread?

My mom was born in San Francisco in 1919, that's why I sometimes look at this forum that posts vintage pictures. Many of them happen to feature cars so I just copy 'em over here.
