Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

41 now going to 50, colder coming but not as cold as first predicted. Supposed to to Front Royal today to see two of the grandsons Christmas programs. Got up with intestinal issues, if that passes I’ll leave about 10:30-11.

. . .finally had to resort to drilling them through cloth to get a roundish opening. Never thought to take a pic but this guy did old machinist trick - YouTube

Neat tip Eric. I can see that the cloth helps with the stability till the drilled hole gets to full diameter thats why it works so well.

Here is a tip with a stripped screw using a rubber band or balloon. How to Remove Stripped Screws - YouTube

Buckeye and Toppop, hope you feel better quickly.
Ed, have fun at the birthday party, what a nice thing to do for him.
David, marvelous pic, you should blow it up and make a wall print out of it.
A scene from paradise...

Dec. 7th sleepy giant was a waken.

Enjoy the day all.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 25° with light snow this morning. Heading to 31° with mostly cloudy skies. Snow will not accumulate. But I am ready just in case. Top of list today is take wife to a doctor appointment. Need to clean up the wheels so they can be painted. Then paint them JD yellow. Have never used TSC spray can paint before. Hope it works OK.
Buppies, come up north here and enjoy freezing cold.. All the talk about fire wood wants me to do some wood for the wood stove. NOT! May be a good day to turn on the pilot to gas burner in wood stove.
Don, where are you finding the nails? Besides in tires.
Eric, lots of controls on that post pounder.
Pearl Harbor happened over 6 months before I was born. But my years in school made sure that I would not ever forget it.
Good Morning All.

Why not take the bad screw out and put a new one in. Video must have been made by someone working in the RV industry.

I agree, I actually own the entire Harpsichord collection of Scarlatti... amazing music. Of course, one still has to leave a spot for JS Bach, he might possibly be the pinnacle of classical music. Sorry, Mozart...

I hope you leave some room for Dvorak, Mendelssohn, and Rachmaninoff, my favorites.

36 and cloudy going to 49. Small chance of snow tomorrow.

Ed, hope your BIL has a good birthday.

Eric, an interesting piece of equipment. Why that many controls?

BEF, sorry for your ongoing issues.

I was in the Stihl store yesterday and saw they had several pickaroons...thought about buying one, since I was pretty sore from Tuesday's 4 hour firewood cutting and stacking. I've always wondered, Do they just shift which part of my body would be sore the next day? Maybe put on my Christmas wish list.

RS, getting ready to go read your build thread.

Randy and Drew, have safe trips.

NWS says it's 40 degrees and has been since before 2 a.m., but forecasting a high today of 39 degrees, then going for a low tonight of 22. Seems a bit odd, but I can't say it would be surprising.

You are right. It should only be used to REMOVE a stripped screw.

Bird I thought this is the coldest morning, after your post I see that tomorrow is going to be 32 here. Bye bye garden.
