That definitely still needs a thumb clutch button (used to drive a real MAN TGA 18.313 FLLC truck for several years) and i'd rather use a rocker switch for the range selector but otherwise a fine job!

A 30" x 60" Poplar bench top for me and a 55 lb anvil for my SIL. Both were heavy.

Two new interior door panel skins for the Suburban. We've had the dreaded pull bar breakdown for a few months now, and finally got to the point where 3/4" PVC pipe and fusion tape weren't cutting it anymore. Should be here in a couple of days, then it's just a matter of stripping the old door skins off, transferring over all the electra-ma-tronics, and putting it back together. GM wanted $1,100 each for them. Found factory new reproductions online for $800 for the pair, including shipping.

A new vacuum cleaner for my wife's Christmas. We'll see how well that one goes over...

I bought my wife a Roomba for our anniversary. Highly recommended!

I sold some stuff... engine hoist and engine stand, (gave away my homemade outboard to the same guy), 10 fishing poles, 14 reels, two tackleboxes full of gear, and, have a generator and tow bar going away as soon as the engine hoist guy gets a little more money... not to mention, trading the 2 motorbikes for the electric Fiat, and, let’s see what else? Oh, giving son a metal detector and a ruger 10/22. I’m sick and tired of the stuff piling up! I can see my shop floor again too... Covid 2020 cleaning! ☺️ But, also, I want a chinese mini lathe so am saving the money for that...

An inexpensive robotic vacuum. It will be Spot's Christmas present.

Our roomba is awesome. My mom has one too. And, yes, vacuuming pet puke or poop is a bad day for all... but honestly, 98% of the time, this thing rocks. And, is also, amusing. Gets tangled in cat toys and high centered on shoes and all sorts of stuff. But I’d still give it a thumbs up. Does a really good job. It’s the 690 version that can map the house and figure out stuff a lot better than the dumber ones.

was actually over the weekend, but go fast goodies for the RC boat.... this piston and cylinder mounted on my bottom end should net about 5.2hp and rev over 20k rpm... not too shabby considering its 25.4cc....you know, the same size as your average weed wacker....LOL

1976 Firebird
I picked up this 1976 Firebird....been wanting another, like the ones I had 30ish years ago (Mid life crisis ? )
I drove it home, but plan to do a little work and TLC to it...
