Labor Day 2024 Are you putting down your wrenches ... or taking advantage of some "off" time to do more work on your truck?
It's the last big holiday of the summer. Besides "laboring" on your Stovebolt, hope you have some "fun" times this weekend. Got family things scheduled? Last vacation? Parades? Community events? Prepping for school? Where is your Stovebolt in all these doings?
Share! If you've already got something going in a Parking Lot (from Early Bolts to Big Bolts) or a DITY, post what you're doing this holiday. If you haven't got a "parking space" of your own, you can post something near you in a Side Lot. If NOTHING seems to fit you, post here. We'll take care of you.
Remember, stories are nice and easier to follow when you include pictures. So post your Stovebolt Labor Day pictures!
Enjoy the weekend! Next week we'll all be back at work.

I'll be meeting family in Gustavus, Alaska. We'll take a boat cruise thru Glacier Bay and also go to a demolition derby there. No, I won't be participating in that - just a spectator, although I have driven in a demo derby before and was the last car running in the first heat. That was about the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel.

Time to tell us about this year's Labor Day. Don't forget pictures if you've got them.

Dropped a tree yesterday on a friend's farm and cut up a fallen oak. We hauled 5 saw logs down the mountain to our other friend's saw mill.
Whole lotta furniture in those oak logs

And that doesn't show the butt log. We took that monster down the hill 2nd trip with two small pine logs. The butt log was so heavy, I ripped one of my cool "International" mud flaps off backing into the dump spot

Kevin, That’s the best light duty diesel ever produced! My Labor Day did not include any wrenching except for maybe my back! Drove to D.C. to move my daughter. Yes, she picked Labor Day for this. Jim
