I yelled at him and told him to stop... my kids were all upset about it, etc. Mother trucker kept lighting them... one went in my neighbors tree. So I told him I was going to go call the cops if he didn't stop.... at that point he did. This state is so dry right now, and we are in a fireworks restricted area anyway. Too damn many idiots here.

On a more nice note... I went to my Grandmothers house for lunch yesterday. She told me she was tired of the mess in her garage and asked if I wanted any of my Grandfather's old tools. Ummmm... heck yeah! I got a Craftsman bench grinder new in the box, Craftsman electric knife and axe sharpener new in the box, Craftsman router, and a HF wood Lathe new in the box. Got a big box of drill bits, router bits, and a bunch of other assorted stuff. Ohhh, and a Dremel brand scroll saw.

BTW - All of the tools were bought in 98, and my Grandfather passed away in 99. So it's all new or slightly used.
It was that way around here until 3 this morning. We are a no fireworks city, yet it was like NYC at New Years. The fireworks rained down sounding like it was pouring rain last night. It was so loud, the dog went under the bed.

Nice on the tools. You will need the new house just to put them in lol.

Here is last nights (11:30 pm picture) of lil Red. That is how light it is around here still. Nice to go fishing at midnight and not have to worry about it being too dark to fish. lol

Those FX4 wheels on Red are about as clean a set as I've seen that are 15-16 years old. The set on blue is quite good also. The third set I have are in serious need of refinish. That is part of my summer clean up plans. lol The 3rd set is really corroded where any weights were. Oh well, I'll have to spend some time refinishing them. They are worth having as a back up choice in case something should happen to one of the ones already being used.

That steering wheel is killer, do the steering wheel controls still work with the aftermarket radio? I think I missed the part of this thread when you were doing the wheel swap.
