Poured first cup of coffee. 51ー with cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 68ー with sun later in the day. Got apple tree cut down yesterday. But sprinkles of rain kept me from trimming branches off larger limbs. No rush I will have it cleaned by the weekend. RV show opens today. Going to go look at new features available on latest models. Leaving check book and credit cards home. My local Kubota dealer is across street from show place.
Good Morning All.

You could at least stop in at Foote tractor and say hello!

Going to lunch in a bit, gotta help the wife for awhile first. Took a neighbor to the bank and back, her car is in the shop. Then back home to my little farmette. Have a good one!

69F and partly cloudy @ 17:00 ...

Woke up about an hour ago, still nursing my first cup.

Got all the gussets for the lower teeth welded last ... except I have about 1" section I have to grind out and re-weld because I forgot to turn the gas on ... lol ...

Also got all the grinding and touch up welds on the right arm for the upper jaw done and got it detailed out. Some radiuses, which I thought turned out decent:

... and then got it tacked on the cross pipe that holds upper jaw teeth:

(Good example of why using 45 and 90 degree connections makes life easier)

I got most of the left one done as well ... but couldn't quite complete it because my back was killing me (I'm way overdue for a trip to the bone cruncher myself) ... will finish it up here in a bit, and then tack the cross pipes (3) into place.

Sodamo,

Congrats on your anniversary ... that's quite an achievement ... one that takes considerable commitment and personal investment :thumbsup:
 
   / Good morning!!!! #25,168  
and lastly, your trivia bit for this morning.
Note above that Sodamo and rswyan both joined in the same month in 2004.
In the merry month of May when tractors are, well, tractoring...
Good eye ... :thumbsup:

I "met" rswyan in the Friendly Politics area, where he adopted that interesting avatar to make a political point. My skin is a little too thin for that place and I no longer visit ...
For me, it's just not worth the time and the effort ... too many other fish to fry at the moment ... although I do pop in from time to time just to give 'em a little poke ... with a sharp stick ... :rolleyes:

so I am happy to find him here. With his amazing welding pics and tales of marital bliss. Just like Sodamo's(and many others)...different variations on the same theme of love.
It's what makes the world go 'round ... ;)

Well, actually, no one does flying metal one ton sheets of steel like RS.
oh, we covered that. :D Story just improves with age like a fine wine.
lol ...

Drew,

You are a total crack up ... :laughing:

:thumbsup:

I couldn't resist; what little gems we find here:
and the upper jaw at least tacked up by morning.

Now rs, was tacking your jaw your wife's idea?
as long as it doesn't affect your post count.
LOL ... I'm sure the idea of tacking my jaw has crossed her mind many a time over the years ...

Well, guess I'm certified with strong heart and good circulation. Comment made about possibility of varicose veins deep within lower legs but without complaints of cramping or pain not much of a concern at this point. I did get some cramping at night when on the generic Lipitor but hardly ever since getting of the statins. Go back in Apr for followup EKG. Guess they just love it when you have insurances. Haven't been to doctors so much since having my knee replacements. Good thing I'm not sick, LOL

Off to town to nice restaurant to celebrate with dear wife.

Good evening all. 59F this morning and sunny. Clouded up today and made it to 86F. Showers tonight, one more day around 85F then Saturday forecast for 59F. Golf this morning, bike ride after lunch then finished culvert project on rental house.
