August 29th, 2008:You may like to have a look at the progress on Caddie Trunk #3,... This is the first one having all new lumber. The hardware is what just naturally transformed into being a part of it. The legs are made from
an old weight lifting bench I found in a scrap pile. The Rustolum gloss blue sure produced a shinny finish on the legs and side rail hardware. I'm going to put a coat of stain to the old side boards I made out of some scrape several years ago. We'll call it fowe finish, but hey they do the job.
I think it's pretty neat. Like a portable pick up I can roll about in my one car garage.
Think of the fuel I save when I use this

January 13th, 2010: Happy to say that what's happening around here is the gain in popularity of this web-site.
It's like it kinna kicked in gear and doubled the volume in just two months time. I'm sure it's the new domain names, but I have to say that it has a lot to do with the traffic increase from those the mid-west. There visits are in in there every day. Anyhow thanks for stopping by; I got a lot of things to do around here, and not enough time.
Oh yah, soon the blog at Synchro-link will be history.
(After html pages are build out of the content, the blog will be retired.)
June 6, '08 : Now that Diesel is over $5 per gallon, well see what kind of trucks hold their value. Those folks that own half tons like the F-150 are finding out that their trucks are worth pennies on the dollar and they realize that they could have just got by borrowing grampa's truck when they need to barrow his lawn mower.
The only trucks that will hold any value at all are the 12,000 to 20,000 gross trucks because they are generally bought for work trucks because they are needed for business purposes.
It won't belong before those guys are going to realize that if they had their own job shack, they could ride a motorcycle to work. Or if they realized that a truck like mine saves about 5 miles per gallon when running around empty, they just my figure out how much more my truck is worth than the rest of those motorized tin cans.
Well, I'm doing my part at saving fuel, how bout you. Sure you got that diamond plate tool box full of tools and you have to unload half the bed at night so you will still have the stuff in the morning.
I know, I've been there, but I gave that shit up ten years ago. Back then, one of my customers just couldn't see why we weren't paying $5 per gallon already. I thought hell, then who would want to buy a SUV, all they are is a four wheel drive station wagon. But see, the government helped out the auto manufactures with a tax incentive to buy vehicles that weigh over 6,000 pound. It was pushed through as a way of helping farmers, but they didn't really benefit from it very much. But ever tom dick and Harry realestate
agent bought one because of the right-off. But now they are worth pennies on the dollar and now the auto manufacture get to sell everyone four cylinder cars like they should have. And these hybrids -- they sure won't be worth much when they reach 80,000 miles. So you could say that they are an expensive lesson. And by they way, I met a guy who works in the automotive industry. He said the they whole thing about the hybrids being environmenty friendly is a bunch of hog wash. reason being that building them does
more harm to the environment than they are suppose to protect.
For the people who commute, the small four cylinder car or truck is the way to go. Tell me I'm wrong.
Kind of funny how I had to learn that I have received a patent in Canada.
On August 19th '07 I checked the listing of my patent application at the CIPO and discovered that it was granted on August 7th.
That equals to about another 30 million.
Pretty Cool I'd say.
Beats collecting stamps.
