6.18.2021

As we headed out last night, this deer was down at the end of the driveway and never moved the whole time we were watching.


We went to Lowe's and bought some $60 plywood - crazy!  It was around $15!  Jim had brought his saw and cut the plywood the size he needed and so it would fit in the back of the car...

We met the fellow for a successful Craigslist sale and then had a date night at Applebee's, followed by frozen yogurt at Menchie's!  

This morning, Jim unloaded the truck and then got busy on the last wood pieces, straightening them on the jointer...

He cut the plywood into the size he needs for the baseboard backing and then put a coat of primer on them...


He made some more calls today at lunch, trying to track down the hydraulic fittings he wanted for the car lift.  Another supplier near by said they had them so he took off to see.  And they did - the smaller fitting is what came with the car lift - the bigger one has an adaptor at the end to extend it...

This is the before - Jim wasn't happy with how tight the lift cylinder fitting was against the cylinder support cup...

With the extender on, the fit is much better...


Then Jim was able to hook up the hydraulic lines and work on the tension alignments on the cables...


He put the accessory rack and the safety catch cover on the post...


He was able to finish doing the trimming he wanted to get done around the house before coming in to hop on the treadmill - everything looks great!
