With the weather being all wonky and various meetings going on, not much has been done.

I did finish treating a shovel handle with boiled linseed oil and sharpening the blade for easier digging.

I also started treating the handles with boiled linseed oil after removing the varnish from the wood. Not only does boiled linseed oil protect the handles better, it is easier on the hands to grip and work with compared to varnish. Manifacturers use varnish because it's a one dip and done process compared to week long application process of coat, let it dry, and repeat.

Got started on my F150 brake system replacement, new master is on & started the lines. Been awhile since Ive flared brake line, thought about putting a line-lock in the cab for the fronts as a parking brake but thats just more potential for later issues. I am deleting the original rear abs & putting a manual proportioning valve on, it will be under the hood. The old master cyl was definitely toast. First one Ive ever replaced. Was supposed to come with the stuff to bench bleed it but it wasn’t in the box so I made lines just for that.
