Yah, that's true. I think I'm gonna Start figuring cost to paint. I just need paint and tape and such. My grandpa has a paint booth and a spray gun. Probably just going with black again.

Yah, in general he has a great set up. He recently retired, and moved to Waco (Central Texas) where he bought a house with a hangar for his things. He restores and builds old planes and restores cars. He has about every tool imaginable. It's awesome.

Sounds like you have a pretty great grandpa. Does he like to teach, and show you stuff? Old guys are the BEST to learn from. That's one of the main reasons I love my job(maintenance man at a retirement home). I get to hear some really good stories, and learn from all of the experience they all have to offer. Its better than school, and I get paid for it.

Yah he does, he's taught me how to fly a bit, how to replace the clutch in the jeep, wiring, etcetera etcetera. I'm pretty lucky to have that kind of knowledge at my disposal. I'm heading down there today. I can shoot a few pictures of the shop if y'all want.

LMAO!! Sorry i don't really mean to laugh at your expense but this really is hillarious. I feel better about my life now. We'll keep trying to help you as much as possible as long as you don't ask your grandpa to teach you gun safety. For the love of god!! try to stay alive.

There were stairs leading up to his bedroom window because at one point he wanted to put a door there but then didn't.
He has good building skills but no sense
He decided to take the stairs down and they were built into the house so you could see the end of the steps coming in the house. He hooked a chain up to the good ol' tractor and wrapped the other end around the stair well and just floored it.
The whole thing came off just kinda unthreaded from the logs on either side and boom
His wife (3rd since my grandma left him) was so used to this crap she just looked up from her lounge chair in the newly exposed living room and said "now can we call someone?"
Another time back before my grandma left him (this is retrieved from the recess of my mothers memory) he got drunk at a family reunion and climbed a 60 ft. tall tree then proceeded to jump flapping his arms like eagle and screaming KA-KAW and then smashed into the ground
My grandma was generally interested as was my mom but they were the only ones that didn't rush to his aid (general lack of concern) when he coyotes and got up my grandma said "not yet, but you just wait, that man will send you to college yet."
I have tons of these my mom tells new ones everytime I ask

Better not get a gun or a tractor,it might be in your genes,maybe not a jeep or anything mechanical either for the safety of yourself and every liveing thing with in 10 miles of you. If you do,post it on this site,and give us your location,so we can avoid the area. You may have given the phrase weapon of mass destruction new meaning.

Okay hahahaha very funny
You wll be hapy to learn that I live and have always lives thousands of miles away from all of them. I get straight A's in class, can speak spanish when I have to and understand anything and everything you say to me in danish and most definatly have enough common sense to handle a jeep.
I will never touch a gun and frankly disrespect anyone who hunts for anything other than survival. I am practically a vegetarian except I love chicken. I will never not get a jeep I have wanted one since i was three. I have never touched anything with any car while driving it except rubber to road. I have only ran 39 stoplights and every cop who chases me I out run.
I have street smarts and book smarts just not mechanic smarts so I seem dumn
I know more random facts than most people care to know, like coke was the worlds first alka seltzer, the San Fransisco trolleys are the worlds only man made moving tourist attraction. time travel in the future is both possible and doible but not practical because the power you need to do it would drain the human race to extinction and the time travelers would realize an Apocalypse.
I can also out ramble anyone and everyone when I get lost on a train of thought, What were we talking about?
Oh yes I AM NOT MY GRANDPAS.
