Good morning!!!!

[RedNeckGeek]

This greeted me this morning, burning several miles to the north, spreading in a SE direction. Close enough I can hear the propane tanks around the homes exploding. Truck is ready to go, every thing else is parked in what I hope are safe places, far enough away from the house and other combustibles. If it starts coming down the canyon I'll bug out; the Sheriff has already told me I've been issued an evacuation order.

Keep yer fingers crossed for us up here, fellas. It's called the Campic fire right now, that may change. Started in Concow, and is spreading to the large community of Paradise, which has largely been evacuated.

Hope it doesn't come to that for you, RNG. At least you're prepared.

63° this morning and forecast is on 70° for high today. We've got a couple of cold fronts heading our way and may see overnight temps in the 30's next week. It got to 89° yesterday and "feels like" was 93°.

We've gotten a couple of calls, in last few months, claiming to be IRS demanding immediate payment before having me arrested. I let unknown numbers just go to voice mail. I notified IRS both times and let them know I had phone #s and voice mail recordings. No response whatsoever either time. Big surprise?

I saw these on Northern Tool and wondered if they might be helpful to store 3-point implements on and could they ease hookup?

If the casters are decent, they're worth $22. They're only 2 1/2" but all my implements are on concrete. Might not work well on dirt?

I built a base, of PT 2x6's to store my 3-point log splitter on and may order a set of these roller to put under the splitter. Might allow me to store it, out of the way, easier.

Might also be handy to store my snow blower and my snow mobile on as well? Oh ..... wait a minute. Don't have either one of those.

Just search youtube for people who lead on the irs scammers, they are humorous.

REgarding scams. Last summer twice on my work phone I had a call from a foreign sounding guy telling me he was from the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) and that due to an error on my income tax I owed them (CRA) a ton of money. I wasn't in the greatest frame of mind that day, so I told him that I had a news flash for him. He tried to talk over me, but I wasn't having any of that. He tried ramming down my throat that he would call the cops on me and I would be arrested and sent to jail. LOL I told him in no uncertain terms that the CRA does NOT phone people, that they send a letter first. Finally to get him off the line I told him to do his worst, that I would welcome the cops with open arms and would get some free room and board out of it at the expense of the Canadian Government and hung up.
I have yet to see the cops here over it and I am not expecting them.

Must be different in Canada, I just hang up.

Have you tried the $8 (on sale) Harbor Freight dollies? I store my 5' KK tiller on two of them.

:thumbsup:
when in doubt, have a little trip to elsewhere...

was lazy all day other than cooking some of Farmer's chicken breasts. Decided the leaves could fall another day, and with rain tomorrow, I'm waiting until the weekend to deal with them then. Tomorrow is garden club morning and Saturday is a garden club memorial for Blue Star at a local rest stop. New memorial plaque erected and being honored.

So it all started with moving a chair fold away bed and the bed decided to fold out in the middle of the door way. Could not get it back in finally pushed it through but it snagged on the carpet and it pulled it like a knitted sweater. End result a 4” bald spot in the middle of the doorway.

Then during the Subaru oil change the noticed the rear tire bearings were bad- it was getting a strange noise.

Then on the way to pick up the Subaru my truck low tire light comes on, yep going flat, head to Discount tire just 5 miles away and I’m 17 in line- a three hour wait.

Is it Friday the 13th?

We both had the flu in 1975 and it was rough, had a flu shot every year since and only got the flu in 2016 when that rogue strain of h1n1 came through. Of course most of you know that the shot is s killed virus and cannot give you the flu, unlike the flu mist.
