Good morning!!!!

[lostcreekranch]

43° here this morning with high of 60° forecast. Should be lots of sunshine today too. It never got out of the 40's yesterday and was cloudy, overcast, and damp all day. Overall we got a bit over 1" of rain Sunday and Monday, from this front. Another front is arriving tomorrow.

Will have to head into town for feed this morning then some pressure washing of patios and side walks, around the house, after it warms up a bit.

RNG ... I bought an 1880's house to restore, back in the early 1970's, after I got out of the USAF. It had been a "rent house" for 40+ years and seemed most of the tenants smoked inside. I got a great deal on it because it reeked of smoke. The first thing I did was rip out the very old, poorly installed carpeting. About 10 days after I got carpet out and thoroughly aired the house out, there was virtually no remaining smoke smell. Oh, the crappy carpeting perfectly protected the original oak floors. Bonus! The only flooring I had to refinish was in the kitchen area, where linoleum flooring had been installed decades before, probably in the 1950's.

The lesson is the soft surfaces will absorb the smoke smell, if it got into your home. If your home was well sealed up, you may be ok. Best of luck and hope you're home soon!

Hoping for a great day for everybody.

Prayers to all.

P.S. nope .... never got cap, cup, T-shirt, etc.

It was 17° for the low this morning. Today is going to be back in the mid 40's and sunny. It looks like a chance of snow for thanksgiving.

One of the neighbors asked me to feed her horses for the rest of the week. I'll get that done and make trip into town this morning. And see how the rest of the day goes.

Hope everyone has a nice day.
CWB.

33°F and cloudy this morning, going up to 39° today. Looking like sunny and 50s for tomorrow and Thursday, then rain the rest of the weekend.

Fell down the YouTube rabbit hole yesterday evening and got a whole lot of nothing done.

For a right-handed guy, I can swing a hatchet kind of OK left-handed. I wouldn't trust my accuracy near any fingers, though. I suppose being a musician may help a bit with ambidexterity. Maybe.

TBN definitely needs a swag outlet. I suspect Muhammad could sell quite a few shirts, hats, and mugs.

64°F and .38 inches rain
Not awake enough to plan the day.
Haircut later this morning.
Need to get moving on my project that started as a few bags of Quikcrete for my diesel tanks. By yesterday morning it had grown to a bit over 8 cuyds. By the time I’d finished walking it off with wife it was 15.4 cuyds.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

I have done some pretty delicate work, but I am far from ambidextrous, I wouldn’t try to use a axe left handed. Kinda like my right hand as it is.

 

[sodamo]

Somewhat ambidextrous. Mostly lefthanded, write, throw a ball, most hand tools but some things I do righthanded, like swing a bat, eat, swing a sledge hammer, even an axe. But I would tend to favor my left for a hatchet.

Got my goodies at post office, wife decided to accompany me to haircut and got hers cut as well. Impromptu trip from there to Waimea for lunch. Purely by chance run into my concrete guy who happened to be in town to visit his niece scheduled for surgery. Gave us a chance to discuss project a bit. Made for a good day.

How many of the old gang still has their TBN t-shirts and hats?

I forgot about the t-shirts but while going through the container looking for a welding jacket we found them. That takes us back a day or three.......

No hat, no t shirt, no coat....But I did have a bumper sticker. It left the property when I sold my old suburban. I believe I got it at Bird's birthday party years back.

Only had to put in 20 hours this week. So I worked 10 yesterday and today. Off until Monday.

Work was good today. I had a carbide endmill break while cutting an o-ring groove, but it was during the roughing operation and the finish operation cleaned it up. Whew. Started up a 3D print for an motor mount.

Not so ambidextrous myself. write right, shoot right, lean right.

Kids are out of school all week. The weather has been crappy, they are stir crazy.

We believe another chicken/hen got taken out. My daughter believes she saw a large owl flying away in the dark field behind the house. This will leave us down to just 2. Need to get a few more maybe.

Oh, I forgot to yell out "PARTY AT SODAMO'S PLACE". (he did say he was getting a keg, right?)

Hope y'all have a nice party David and wifey.

Let plumber in to work on leaking kitchen faucet, the napped. got up too late for ride.
RNG nice tandem, hope you get back to your house soon!
No TBN gear here.
Right handed, not ambidextrous.
prayers for all.
