CRISPINS CRITTERS

Houseboats are still awesome. Problem is this one is land locked in Tennessee .......wait.....they'd never expect to find me there..... Hehehe
 

Woo hoo! I just finished installing the floor in that little bedroom I'm working on. Now I just need to make some baseboard. I can feel Florida getting closer! Lol

Very Nice! :thumbsup:

Are the baseboards gonna be the same stain as the window casement and door and trim?

Psychologically,
Darker baseboards would subliminally convey a "Border," thus making the room area seem smaller.

A light stain for the baseboards conveys "open space."
No Boundary. :thumbsup:

Feng Hoo?

Best,

Scott

What a day!

Final post about the safe.

Yep.
I got it open.

The mechanism shown earlier is not even like what this safe had.

NO FENCE for the gates! A straight open gates to the bolt lever.

Therefore, the first hole I drilled and got numbers, wasn't in the right location.

After about 5 more holes drilled, not knowing the mechanism, I found the sweet spot!

Did I mention that this is the first safe I have ever drilled?

Here's some pics and I'll try to describe what they show...

Here is the safe open and cleaned up a bit.

The cover inside on the door that shows the mechanism and how you change the combination.

View attachment 1281454
Cover removed showing the bolt extended and the wheels. You can also see some of the other places that I drilled.

View attachment 1281455
Wheels lined up. I now know the combination!

View attachment 1281456
Pop-riveted the face plate back on and put the dial back on and I now have another nice fire safe for FREE!

Best,

Scott

Well done Scott! Free is always best!
Yes baseboards are going to be pine and stained like the door and window casing. Simple in design as the house is rustic decor.
I'll post a picture of some baseboard in another room I have done a little later.

SNAFU ........ Remember that one?

Proving once again that I go back and re-read past posts,
Looking for my past errors to correct, the music, the chuckles and rarely to reply.

Here's a rare reply to a past post from another page:

2GF,

Do you know what, "DILLIGAF" means, Brother?

(Odds are that you do.....8-))

My Best,

Scott

I'd love that motor on my pontoon boat, then I could pull all the grandkids and half the family tubing and skiing at the same time.

And medford area (100 miles away)

Speaking of ovations.....heh......

How 'bout the same tune with a 3 neck Ovation?



Best,

Scott

Added:

I see Jon playin' an Ovation also.

And is that a Kramer I see?

Some words....

"Wanted Dead Or Alive"

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems we're wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home

[Chorus:]
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think

[Chorus 2x]

And I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere, and still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all

'Cause I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
'Cause I'm a cowboy, I got the night on my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
And I ride dead or alive
I still drive, dead or alive
Dead or alive [4x]

Thank, RC, for the only real laugh that I've had all week.

NO!

You do not get special clues!
Thank you for NOT asking.... Huh? :icon_scratch:

English and Composition.

The first class I took to decide if I could earn a Degree.

I paid all of Tuition, Fees and book costs from my own pocket, Delivering Pizzas.

Now, here I am Today!

And,

Where will I be Tomorrow?

Where will you be tomorrow?

Where will any of us be tomorrow?

"Welcome To The Club"

Standin' in the runway,
Wavin' at the plane...
There goes everything you own.
You called home collect
And they didn't know your name.
Starin' at the telephone....

You thought he was a doctor,
Now he says he's not,
But the voices seem to tell for sure.
And according to the symptoms
It isn't all you got;
A shame they haven't found a cure.

Didn't know the reason
You start to feel the rub
You know it isn't easy
Well, welcome to the club
Well, you thought they'd take it lightly

They're actin' kinda rash...
Caught you in a
loadin' zone!
So they smile very politely,
Relieved you of your cash!
Suddenly you're all alone....


You play the double agent
You bug eachother's phone
You got the place surrounded
There ain't nobody home

It's gettin' hard to please 'em
You start to feel the rub
You know it isn't easy
Well, welcome to the club
Come on and join us in the club


Recent news from my area and past of delivering pizzas when I first started back to College.....

I started by delivering pizzas from this store.
Nights and weekends.
Knowing nothing of this.....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Anthony_Mobley

And, just recently....
Not far from where you and I live in America....

Pizza delivery driver killed in Lawrenceville | www.wsbtv.com

I eventually told the manager of my stores, (I delivered for that store and another) that I would only deliver before dark.

Cause I was old. And my eyesight was bad at night.....

"Yeah. That's the ticket!"


My hours were certainly reduced, to the point of separation, and, now I'm just a poor college student...

Is there a Degree in that? Being a poor college student?

Lord! I sure hope not!
Surely I'd be a Master's Candidate.....

Best,

Scott


Did ya miss a clue?

Scott YOURE KILLING ME MAN what's in the SAFE?

Yes.
There were "Contents."
Including 10-12 zipper type bank bags.

I cannot say more at this time....

I will contact my LEO Friend for info.
Until then.....

Best,

Scott

Dang!

I thought I said, "Final Post about the safe...."
