Good morning!!!!

Ok, knew it was bad luck to work past 4 on a Friday. Plugged in the microcell and now no power to the house, or the street. Trying to call utilities but only 1 bar.
100 outside.

Sounds like it might be time to look into a backup generator setup, Don. Or just put in a solar array and pull the plug entirely!:laughing:

Cleaned up in the garage some more this morning. Was running over to the storage unit and saw a friend from 25 years ago and was chatting with him and the phone rang. It was the trucking Co, will be at your house in 15 min. Rushed home and got the driveway clear. The guy came and rolled the crate into the garage. Spent the rest of the day looking at all of the new toys. Everything looks good except the end mills did not come with it. Can't think of when I smiled so much in a good while.

RNG, I have never posted a pic before but will try Saturday. Ed

Fantastic way to start a weekend, Ed!


Won't be long before you're knocking out little ditties like this next time you need a puller or other specialty tool to fix something. This one took three hours this morning; fifteen seconds later the lock nut it fits was tight. I used a brass drift and a hammer to get it off, but no more...

Holler if you get stuck on uploading the pichers. Once you click on the little icon that looks like a tree in a box, it usually goes pretty smoothly...

Congrats Ed and enjoy

Please join me in a moment of silence and a glass lifted in respect to the spirits lost in Bardstown, Kentucky today...:bawling::cryingeyesout:

Wonder if they need any help emptying out that basement?:laughing:

Thanks guys, I am pretty excited. Wanted a lathe and mill for more than 40 years. Ed

Ed, what are you going to make?

Microcell can’t get established, might have to get a long cord to put it by a window. Electricity was out for only an hour and i was not blamed for it. I did not have to start my small generator that I forgot about until RNG’s post.

Gray 2 seems to be content on a leash as he and whipper watch an evening golfer.

Finally got through and a large part of the neighborhood is without power. Randy what was in that microcell?

It had a transmogrifier in it.

Good evening all. 78F this morning, cloudy, calm wind. wind picked up about 10, gusts to about 18 mph ENE direction, sky was cloudy and rain fell nearby but not here, and high of 94F. Supposed to have cold front go through, but wind forecast says it won't . Bike ride this morning, water plants at stepdaughters go to town and grocery shop and dinner.
Ed congrats on lathe and mill, have fun with them!!
Hawkeye, good luck with your project.
prayers for all.

Yea it’s working, I have 5 bars now on m-cell 4g. But it sure sucked a lot of energy from the neighborhood and I’m probably going to get a letter from the HOA.
