You never saw The Roadrunner and Wylie Coyote? Wyey bought all his traps from ACME. He dropped thousands of anvils trying to smash the Roadrunner.

Honestly I've never watched much of it. I have saw a minute or two here am there but that's it.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Ok so I must admit I spent 10 minutes on YouTube. It actually wasn't bad.

An we need more advertising like that.

I picked up a coyote tail at a fur trade rendezvous this weekend, I'll upload a picture of it when I get it installed :P

Finished my vise stand today! I'm definitely gonna hafta stake down the vise when it's out there, but the wheel hub I used for a foot cup has convenient holes, 2 to 5 14" stakes ought to keep it from going anywhere :P It's.... not exactly light, either.... but, it's manageable. And I'm sure I can get a hand getting it out of my truck any time I go somewhere if I need it.

So, a definite improvement! I do still need to affix my coyote tail... But, we're looking at the wrong side of the anvil for that anyway :P

(Just pretend my garage is neat and orderly.... I'm trying to sell the car in the background so I have more room for all my crap :P )
