A day of relative calm today before the wind starts up again tomorrow. Yesterday it hit Ireland first, killing two people there, with others seriously injured locally by falling trees. One of the people who died was a lady over on holiday from Switzerland, she was in her caravan when it was blown off a camp site, over a cliff onto the shore.

We were fortunate to get off lightly, only damage was to my neighbour's huge trampoline. As we finished lunch I saw it rolling around like a snared beast with only one rope left tethering it to the ground. I was expecting it to break free any minute and go crashing through the window. It was obviously wrecked beyond repair, so with their permission I slashed the taught fabric to let the wind through. Must admit I was more than a little wary get near it.


My Grandma always used to tell me not to be impatient as "The best things in life come to those that wait". Ain't that true RNG. :thumbsup:

A question for all who have kids. Are your kids more, (or less) outgoing than yourselves? meaning able to start conversations with people (they don't really know) and enjoy it.....Not that I want her talking to total strangers, but like to people at church.

Both our kids are more outgoing than me. Fortunately they both ended up in jobs where they get paid for talking, whereas I'm an engineer so I get paid for thinking and then only if the thoughts work out ok. :laughing:

Our son never did leave home, we had to move to another county to get a house to our ourselves. He bought the house he had grown up in off us at a very special discount.

Drinking first cup of coffee. 62° with rain this morning. Heading to 84° with some rain. Got lawn cut yesterday. Made a lift arm and hook for FEL. Use it to raise frame and net over garden pond. When rain stops I will do pond maintenance.

Kyle, the "Restore Auto-Saved Content" box is back in Chrome this morning. I shut computer down. Then restarted. :confused3:

LS, hope they figure out was is going on with your knee.

Thomas, Avon lady at 3am. Enough to ruin anyone's day.

Randy, nice Tbird.

Prayers for all those in need.

Good Morning All.

The T-Bird is a joint venture with a friend that owns a small chain of pharmacies locally. He found the car in Vermont where it never went outside in winter or rain. 61,000 miles.
I do flip a few old cars and when I can split the cost and profit it’s a lot more fun an relaxing.
No idea what shipping cost is, I deliver to Baltimore terminal and I’m done.

Well, excuuuuuse me, I was chatting in a JD area. About a 4066R. Hmmmm.
But yes, up at 5:30 instead of 3-4am. I had gained a few pounds back and some good exercise
is needed. I don't even remember getting up last night for the usual so probably means I was dehydrated.
Sweat through three shirts; that'll do it. But it's done. Sort of...

It's the driveway resealing that has me a bit depressed. No help. Offered the firemen 200 a day to help
and no interest. I have to repair the cracks again today but then I have two more days of sun, total change in weather, and Fall is coming.
It's a job that needs to get done now, not later. I'd work on it in parts but have too many UPS and mail trucks/cars coming in for that.
Thankfully small Amazon stuff gets jammed in my mailbox now, that's cut down on a lot.

Roy, get out those sweaters! There should be a nip in the air at nights.
And no snow until Dec 24.

Got my zero turn stuck twice I can just see those mud slimed rear tires spinning away.
When I had a Ferris ZT years ago, I got it stuck all the time.
Wound up welding a tow loop on front...which I also did with my Gravely.
Those ditches just suck you in...you feel the slide start and you turn the wheel or move the sticks and you just keep sliding.
I always thought of those teacup rides at the amusement park.
If all you wound is your pride and your turf, fine. Just don't turn over.

Have a fine Thursday.

Our 2 sons are very outgoing. Like their parents. All our grandkids are also outgoing. Except the oldest one. Takes awhile for her to talk to other people. But does become more social after first contact. Oldest sons friend that visited us last weekend. Said that he can tell me and 2 son are related besides having similar facial features we all like to talk. To bad he never met my wife when she could talk.

Toppop, I always thought that TBird design was like an American Jaguar, one of the nicest classical designs
that will always look good. Another good one is an early Chrysler 300 with that space age electroluminescent dash.
Both big American iron with the biggest engines made.
But a hemi Sport Fury? My I bet someone wishes they still had that. Particularly if it was manual.
Oh the noise you could make playing that instrument.

Cars are becoming electric appliances, personal mobility vehicles.
But to bang second gear just right and get the front end to lift up, well....just aren't going to get
that in a Prius.

Avon lady went by the bedroom window 3 amish whew enough to wake one up. :confused2:

Deciphering code early in the morning is aways a challenge.

Let's see
1. The Avon lady from the Amish community came by window number 3 in the bedroom and the perfume she was wearing was enough to wake you up.
2. A female skunk came by the bedroom window at about 3A.M. and the smell woke you up.

Am I close on one of them at least?

Sure wish I had my 64 Sport Fury 4 spd. But it was a 426 wedge. I had access to lots of performance parts though my wifes cousin who worked at Chrysler tech center Detroit. Very fast. But could not seem to make it run as fast as the Chevy's in the same NHRA class.
