Made what should be a fully functional extension ladder for part of a firefighter costume for Halloween. Retracts to 4’, easy to carry. It’s a half scale imitation of an aluminum one I have.

Took delivery of this guy today.

Got a real killer deal on it, and I had to pull the trigger.

And before you start wondering…..

It has a full coat of Griot’s 3-in-1.

I opened one of my jars of fermented peppers and then realized both my food processor and blender are at my girlfriend's place. So I diced up the peppers and simmered them with some of the brine and some vinegar. I'll have to blend them up later (or convince someone to try some of my "soup"). Other 2 jars will stay unopened for now until I can blend them.

2 days before I was supposed to drive my Mustang 150 miles to its winter storage location, one of the valve springs decides to break, luckily I was only a block from my house.
Of course these are not stock heads, so getting a valve spring in 2 days is either impossible or $$$, but I lucked out.

Contacted my gear head coworker who gave me a name of a guy he knows.
10 minutes later, guy has a full set in his garage that he gave me for free.

The night before the drive, I swapped the broken spring out. Almost everything went well, I stripped one of the valve cover bolts.
I'll replace the other 15 springs sometime this winter and repair the stripped thread for the valve cover.
Car made the trip without a hiccup.

The one quick pic I took. EDIT 4th from the left was the broken one. Obviously you cannot see the springs.
