What did YOU do today?

@JoshT @Rick W

This isn't really the right forum for this discussion. So, I'm going to attempt to tread lightly here.

JoshT, there are good churchs out there, finding them is just getting harder and harder. And like Rick said, they are setup and run by imperfect human beings. So, there are going to be disagreements. The particular church I belong to is a huge church and has aspects that I don't like, but they preach the Gospel and do outreach and missions at a local, regional, and world wide level. So, they meet the basic precepts.

Rick, Christianity is and is supposed to be a personal relationship with our Creator and Savior. The church is supposed to be a place of instruction, interpersonal relationship, and correction so as to keep us all on the right path. Unfortunately, many churches have changed it into a religion. Religion has never saved anyone.

I'll stop there, otherwise, I'll get into finger pointing and possibly some kind of forum violation or argument that isn't intended or wanted.

I grew up in the Eastern Orthodox Catholic church and have spent some time in Roman Catholic and Presbyterian churches. Enough to get a good impresion on them. The church I go to now is nondenominational, but based on the Anglican church tradition. Think the Church of England, which is based on the Roman Catholic service, but Americanized to some extent. Mainly, the King or Queen of England is not the head of the church nor is one their Archbishops.

Any deeper discusion on the matter needs to move to PM or to the proper forum out of respect to the forum owner and the forum itself.

Thanks, thanks for the understanding, and understood. I knew I was pushing the limits.

But if there’s a problem, blame Josh

Weekend update here,

2-vehicle crash kills motorcyclist in Lebanon County.

I finally found a couple of sticks of 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1/8“ angle iron, 20 feet for 30 bucks. Those sticks were as common as crab grass during Covid, at 1/10 the price. I used up all the scrap I had at home except for a handful of very small pieces.

It’s just for inventory, but I do have a couple of projects in mind. And I still love craigslist/marketplace.

5 years ago, bought square body gm.. just to have it sit.

4 years ago, bought big axles for said square body.. just to have them sit as well.

Then I bought a NICE rust free frame, because I didn't wanna be towing 4 tons with a truck that has a frame I personally repaired.. then I let them sit and marinate for 2 more years..

...well today I finally got around to (kinda) putting the front axle under the new frame lol slow and steady wins the race.. mabey. Hopefully I can have a naked rolling chassis by the end of the year.

I did some yard work and arbor work on the varigated beech in the front yard. The tree had some branches touching the roof, possibly causing damage to the shingles and there has been a fairly big branch that is dead and a potential dead man. My gas saws are too big to get in there to cut the limb but the 10" electric Bauer saw was able to get the job done. So far I've been pretty happy with that little guy.

Then I broke down and did another piece of aluminum angle on the drawer box before leaving for the rifle range meeting at the VFW. All that is left is some pieces to protect the corners and then I can move on to bolting the thing down in the bed and start building the drawers themselves.

Surfing craigslist/marketplace like usual

There are over 20 Rangers on marketplace, and 11 of them are under $1500, five of them are under $1000

In the latter five, there are a couple of pretty clean extended cab trucks, one with a bad transmission, but good engine, one with a straight body, bad engine, but good transmission, both 4.0. There’s also a few four-wheel-drive.

There’s also a few clean ones for 2500 to 4500. I’ll bet 90% on rust free.

If I was a little younger…

Just FYI
