Spent all morning workin on today's project and it was harder than it sounds. We took the back off'n my big overstuffed leather recliner, exposing the back reclining mechanism. One side was bent pretty badly causing the back of the recliner to lean at a rakish angle. Not having a fully stocked handyman's shop at my disposal we hadda do like usual and improvise  Between a C-clamp, hammer, 18"'pipe wrench, channel locks, needle nose, and amazingly enough only 1 sailor-like expletive we got it straightened out.
Among the sundry beer tops, popcorn kernals, scrungies, socks, mardi gras beads, and pocket change we found in the bowels of the chair, we unearthed a long lost much missed treasure: My ole camoflaged bucket hat Before it turned up missin it was my constant outdoor companion. I found it with a "Whoop" of joy. and a sigh of relief from Peg. Many's the time I had accused her of hiding it or throwing it away. Sighhh, I guess now it will be relegated to certain special occasions and afternoons with the guys as da camp.
As far as how the recliner wound up bent and turned over onto its back to begin with.............Peg wont let me tell yall

Tinker bayl decided not to be happy with the great battery deal and when I fired her up this morning she was coughing gagging and wouldn't idle. I made it to the gas station and back barely with the ole jeep dieing every toime I took my foot off the pedal. I got home got the hood proped up and after a lil tinkering I found the problem. A screw had fell out and the choke mechinism flew to pieces. Well i got her to limp to the end of the road to a shade tree mechanic and 20 $ and a jar of AWARD WINNING jelly she is back running like a top. Too late to start any of my projects so I'll write today off and fire up the fire pit and try to salvage the evening.
