Shop Talk

Noby wil know that you done that if you hadn't told use. Looks good

Guys,

I may try to apply the chip guard on these lower rear areas of the truck again. This time very light coat and let it dry for a day or so.

We have been enjoying the new pup in the shop. Duke may be the nicest Golden we have owned. Still being a pup for sure. Learning and growing.

Sometimes we have to rest.

Regards,

Chris and Cheryl

tadams, folks,

Duke has us wrapped.

I had a small area on the truck paint wrinkle. Again I probably had the gray paint a little too thick. Going to wait a day between coats of the clear chip guard. Please remind me to not use this stuff again! Maybe it will last till we get a new truck?

No snow here yet.

Most of our family will be here for Thanksgiving dinner in the shop. It works great for the kids and us old folks too.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Allis folks!

Regards,

Chris and Cheryl

Folks,

Thanks giving in the shop was a success. The heated floors are the ticket for a comfortable place for our family to be comfortable.

OK more baby pictures:

Also had 7th birthday party for our Great Grand daughter yesterday, hence the hats!

I have the wood for the sliding doors drying in the sugar house. The white steel and trim is ordered for the bottom. I need to get the 2 x 4 wood for the frame work.

Regards,

Chris and Cheryl

Guys,

Dog talk today. I have installed an antique dog training system. Not sure the age? maybe 20 years. Never used system found on Facebook. Ok so it came with 500 feet of small Guage wire and a roll of much heavier wire that was 1000 feet. I chose to go with the heavier and layed out the wire, tested it above ground and then proceeded to dig a trench a few inches deep to bury the wire. That was a month ago. The ground was muddy in our clay. The rental digger did not work well. I changed over to a single bladed gas powered small rototiller that kind of worked better than digging by hand. Then had to hand bury and cover the wire. I am too old for this stuff! I put flags where the wire is located. That was not where they were supposed to go they are supposed to be inboard where the collar beeps some distance from the wire. Makes sense after I read the book!

Duke has been bringing the flags back to the shop during his play time.

Just started the first training sessions with the pup. Going ok. Collar is in beep mode only and when we hear the beep we bring him back away from the wire. Seems to bed working ok. a week or so of this and then we move to the shocking portion of the trading. Duke seems smart and is very sensitive. More on the outcome of this later.

Our previous dogs, we let run loose. Not the best for other families in the neighborhood. The neighborhood has gotten more families and more dogs, and is more like a rural subdivision since we moved here almost 40 years ago. Guess we are trying to be better neighbors?

Regards,

Chris and Cheryl

	Folks, I used the truck lift as an aid to do some paint removal. This area gets stone chips and a lot of salt. Well I am not a painter so still learning about spraing on chip guard. Sounds easy. But I have several failures with this product. Stripped and tried again. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

	And he knows who to snuggle up to the boss. He's cute. You might try the paint they put in the bed of a pickup.
