The place is a step back in time. I absolutely love old train stations where they actually have real architecture and were ‘the’ buildings of their day. The family gets a kick out of how much I admire the old stations. Hey, I like what I like coming and going from GCS is certainly amazing - - since you are a fan -- suggest you go on You Tube, some terrific videos of the stations history and renovations -- as well as other stations elsewhere -- Hope all is well -- Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #6552 Posted February 8 It took about an hour to get the old Jeep to fire, but it was a great day! 38 mph or less, to prevent horrific death wobble! 1 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 6,998 #6553 Posted February 10 Went to the blue box store today and picked up more supplies for my continuing interior trim project. Today's project required some work with my Bailey #5 plane. I think that is my favorite tool of all my tools to use. It has a pleasing feel, sound, and when used with the proper wood, creates a wonderful aroma. I bought the plane at an antique show at the local mall several decades ago. Think I paid 35 bucks for it. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Newbie 7,068 #6554 Posted February 10 (edited) Today I changed the oil in the 98 Chevy Z-71 Silverado 4x4… hasn’t been changed in 2 years or so… Every 3000 miles though. Been using AC Delco oil filters. MADE IN CHINA !!!!! Packaging has Chinese writing ! Oh well, got home, and found Mr. Squirrel had moved back into the extra battery tray under the hood. No wires chewed this time, best I could see. Cleaned out the leaves and set a mouse trap, no bait. Also sprinkled some cayenne pepper 🌶️ around. Hoping he will step on it and scare the crap out of him. Maybe he won’t come back. Took the filter out of the box and first I thought the filter had rust painted over in blue. Nope, just a high quality Chinese paint job… Then I decided to stretch the legs on the Horses. After that I did a little spring cleaning on the shop, getting ready to get back on the 77 C-160.

Definitely a beautiful building. I personally like the architecture of the old Penn Station that was torn down in the 60's. Absolute shame they tore that down. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Various AC Delco parts have been coming from China for at least 13 or 14 years that I can account for. I haven't been in the Auto Parts Industry for that long and remember the issues then. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
