Good morning!!!!

[ronjhall]

23° and it’s raining. Nothing good can come out of those conditions.

PLEASE READ!
I have one garage door opener that will not function properly below around 25-27°, it will come up about two feet and stop. If I hit the button and lift a little, it opens fine. I can’t find any binding and I have lubricated the tracks and rollers. The doors are not particularly heavy, the openers are Genie chain drive units that were premium units designed for heavier doors. Above 30° it works as well as the other two.
Opinions please.

When my doors will not operate in cold weather. I use a garage door lube made by liquid wrench. Got it at Lowe’s. Mine sometimes give me problems when temperatures are around 0°.

I told my son about all the kudos he has rec'd from around the world on his cabbage. I should've looked into the details better.

The cabbage is an O. S. Cross variety. "Oversized", We probably could have left it to grow even larger. The whole plant was about 30" in diameter.

Wifey is not sure how she wants to prepare it, but she loves just plain ole' chopped up and cooked cabbage with some seasonings. Eric, could your cabbage catapillars make casings? Hope you din't eat too many of those.

Happy Wifey's Birthday Buppies.

Rick, great job on the shaker bench with all the secret treasure maps in the map drawers.

Drew, your truck is cleaner than the ones at the dealerships.

RNG, get her shifting... Still not sure of what to think about all those "melted" beemers. Can you take them to the scrap yard?

My GDO is a Genie with the acme threaded shaft. It growls and stops when the temps get in the 30's F. You have to get the remote and be there to assist it if it gets colder. I would guess the lube is hard. Next time I might try a Chamberlain toothed belt drive. Remember, in the Korean war it got so cold that many of the weapons wouldn't cycle or work.

you guys hurting get well, prayers headed your way. And stay warm all.

Yesterday I was working at my desk when I heard the twittering squawk of a bald eagle. Sure enough when I went out side, there he was sitting in the top of the big Ponderosa pine not a hundred feet away. I got back with a camera just in time to see him take flight. There's a pair that nest around here, but I have yet to spot their tree. It's good to see them back after the fire.

The widow wants to hang on to them, and my friend says he plans some sort of yard art display. They saw enough heat that even the steel parts are useless. Besides the rust, whatever work hardening was in them is gone so they're no where near as strong as they once were. She was very happy with her settlement with the insurance company for them, though; she hinted that it ran into tens of thousands of dollars.

Next fire, I'm hauling every basket case beemer I can find out there.....I heard about the electric company declaring bankruptcy. I have mixed feelings on this. Sure, my place didn't burn down. But those like you have my respect for doing due diligence to keep your stuff unburned. I would place most of the blame on whichever departments don't clean up the pine needles or have regular controlled burns. But suing gov't entities is like shooting yourself in the foot on a scale this big. Not so cut and dried like having flood insurance or not, and then there is a flood. I know out here around Bastrop Texas since the fire, they have cut down wide right of ways for all their power lines. I believe the insurance companies are/should take a big percentage of this. And stop building zero lot line homes on top of pine needles.

OK, I finally bought some Cholula's Chipotle sauce. Tastes like a slightly spicy BBQ sauce to me. Will put it on my BBQ sandwiches....but when I fold up a breakfast taco with eggs/beans/potatoes/cheese/etc, I'm sticking to the original. It reminds me of Frank's Red Hot Sauce.

Making some small, tedious parts at work on my 5 axis mill. Haven't had to swear too much. But 3 of them will fit on my thumbnail and they have a lot of details.

Drew, is "worm dirt" a swear word up in your parts?

Jim beam bbq sauce is good

Wife had a nice birthday really surprised her with her present had no idea and it was a hit. Have had it over a week shipped in by a friend to another friends address so she would not know very covert but notifications are sent to her -phone for everything that ships to the house or cc notifies of purchases so had to be creative on that front as well.
