Lookin good jay! May I suggest a coat of 50/50 linseed oil and turpentine to keep the box in good shape?

 

No, you may not.

 

Ha, looks like you're having a good time in the snow. Right on.

 

Jay, Your having WAY to much fun.........now you just need to build a surfboard to pull the kids in the snow with......I wish that I had your property to do the fun stuff that your doing with your kids.....and my 90plus grandfather said to me once.....building memories and thank goodness that your letting your girls "drive" the jalopy......that is the best way to teach them how to drive for the future......just make sure that "mom" is taking a nap or @ work when teaching them and tell them to watch out for that 1st telephone pole next to your driveway..........

"this one makes me crack up:"

Great stuff, what a GREAT time for the kids and Dad. I enjoy the dogs reactions and the fun they are having as well.
Carry on, you're living right !

Are ya snowed in yet Jay!?

 

absolutely love this.
great job, i love to see people enjoying something they have built.

 

VERY COOL! I hope when my daughter is big enough she will want to be in the shop with me.

 

Here's a quick update:

After 14 months I finally got Mrs. NoSurf to drive it around the pasture:






We were using to back-drag to overseed the horse pasture.

A special thanks to Povertyflats for the Model A head to replace the one that got cracked this past winter due to my negligence on draining the water.

 

The ultimate fun machine.

 

You guys have a lot fewer terraces to jump out there, probably a good thing

 

Looks like she rides around with some real dogs.That little girl at the beginning has the same non-smile as her mom!

 

Sunny and 65* today. Good day for a photo-opp:

 

Here here!

Great shot.

 

Neat picture!

BTW, Jay can you have a copy of your book for us to buy when we visit?

 

I sure can.

 

This is one of the best threads on this or any site. It's great to see the family enjoying your project. Those memories will last several lifetimes!

You've helped remind me to get back to my latest project........Good luck with wherever yours takes you and your family.

10" of snow and still coming down, so I built some skiis for the front and ran some snow chains on the back today. Man it doesn't steer very well with skiis. I have a lot to learn about snow chains too...

 

I was hoping you took this jalop out in the snow today!

 

Good to see this back on top. Went clear through the thread again, what a hoot!! Have fun and be safe. Will see ya somewhere in warmer weather.

 

Damn, you know what I'll have to build for mine now.

These guys are having too much fun:

Probably need to add a ton of weight to the front Jay. Is it "pushing" in corners?
