Good Morning. It's 34° (feels like 26°) and a bit windy this morning. Our high is forecast to get to 55° this afternoon. Though we were north of the forecast "snow line" we got no moisture of any kind. It's predicted to back up in the upper 70's thru the weekend.
I've got one stubborn base of a big oak tree that still smoldering since last Saturday when I lit this burn pile.
I gave it a shot with my 40 volt blower Tuesday, again yesterday, and probably later this morning.
I'm planning on most of the day in the shop, with the doors closed,
Working on the mobile base for my 20 ton press. I want to make it portable, to push it out of the way, when I'm not using it, and to raise it up higher for more comfortable operation. The new base will raise it by almost 8". The base is two 3/4 plywood panels, laminated for strength and 4 swivel casters with brakes, rated to 400# each. Pictures tomorrow after it painted.
Don ...snow angel pictures are a must.
Ron ... glad to know Irv is ok. I'm surprised at your TurboTax issues. We've been using it since it was first released many years ago with zero issues.
Eric ... I've got water lines everywhere on the ranch so ... no need to carry water here. I am thinking of adding a hose reel, on the front of the trailer for supply water. The pressure washer hose is 50' (15.24 m
) and on a manual hose reel.
Randy ... that's an interesting trailer.
Hope everyone has an excellent "Friday Eve" today.
Prayers to all.

Sorry Don. If I was visiting you it would be your job to clean up that white stuff. That’s why I traveled your way was to get away from it.

Ron ... did you notice that there are no golfers in Don's picture? We're sissies about that kinda stuff.

I have used TurboTax when it was on Floppy disk with very few problems over the years. When I did my mother’s taxes after she passed I had similar problems. Had to mail it in.

Good Morning!!!! 45F @ 5:15AM. Mainly sunny. High 64F. Winds light and variable.
That gizmo could be the major technology advance of 2020 for you, Paul!:thumbsup:
The older I get, the less I sleep, Ted. It's not that I don't need to sleep. My brain just doesn't want to. Almost as though it's afraid of missing out on something...:confused3:
Enjoyed the latest video, too. Made me cringe a bit when Jeff was trying to load the nail gun with his finger on the trigger, though.
Seems to be a lot of thoughtlessness going around Drew, and I'm sorry your medical results took so long to come around. People just don't think through what impact their actions, or lack thereof, have. And not just young, inexperienced people, either. All part of a brave, new world, I suppose.:thumbdown:
Good to hear you're past that retirement Rubicon, hawkeye. Won't be long before you start wondering how you ever found time for a job!:laughing:
Hope your bridge survives the deluge, Wng, and if it doesn't, leaves the log in an easier place to get to.
That Oklahoma road shot reminds me of going through Wyoming snow on the trip back to Ohio several years back. A real nerve racker...
Another sunset shot, this one a panorama. You can't hear it, but Heart was playing in the background. Can't remember what it was the night before, Eric, but Jimi's music is no stranger to the back porch.
The FedEx driver was a little late yesterday, and didn't have enough traction to back the trailer up to the garage (he left some impressive skid marks on the driveway), so we ended up dragging the pallet jack and generator up the slope with the Kubota side-by-side. But we got it done, though I'm not quite sure how I'm gonna get it down onto the pad when the time comes. On to the next challenge.
Steel supplier said the pipe would be ready yesterday afternoon, but I had to run another errand, so that's on the agenda for today. The other shop I tried didn't have it in stock, and wanted more money, but at least I know I'm not getting gouged on the price.
That other errand involved a two hour trip each way in the van, which ran great. Pushing a headwind at between 70 and 80 mph dropped the mileage down to 15, but it's unusual for a Vanagon to be able to even make that kind of speed, the aerodynamics being more akin to a barn door than a Ferrari. :laughing:
Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

Theyæ±*e pretty different, if you look closely, his is made in Australia, has diesel heat and hot water, beds, etc...
They had military surplus unit that was converted for camping, he added beds, heat, hot showers, but it wasn稚 as nice or simple to operate, that痴 why they sold it and bought this.

Good morning to all! Low of 16, going up to 45 and sunny. Unfortunately, the system that is moving out of here now, is sucking all the air in behind it.... winds were gusting to 55 mph at 3am. Still steady at 35 this morning, gusts to 45.
The storm system that was here really blew up towards the E / NE. You guys button up and batten down. Saw on the news 13 tornadoes last night from Mississippi on up. Hopefully it does not get too bad.
Quote - - - LS, you son's self effacing presentation style is great to watch and that warm father/son bond shines all the way through, right up to the closing "If dad were a little younger ... we could have done a whole lot more in a day". Do you have to climb up on a step ladder to clip his ear ? - - - Eric
Fortunately for me, I am still taller than both my sons even though I have shrunk almost an 1 1/2 inches..... I do tell them than I am still capable of kicking their butts. Luckily I have never had to.....
Kyle, I think he should be a comedian, along with most of the family, he can get everyone rolling on the floor very easily. He does have stage presence and is a fantastic guitarist.

BEF.... yes, I do like playing with glue.... I was behaving myself, I would usually try setting up something so he would sit in it or something like that....:shocked:
Drew, I bet you could get to tinkering with the lights and get them installed.... if it got put together.... it can come apart... just need to figure out HOW it comes apart...:confused2:
Don, glad some of our snow made it to you!
RNG, I bet you were relieved when the FedEx guy finally showed up. Looks like a nice unit! Sunset pic was gorgeous! Once you get all the supplies, your not going to know which project to start with... they will all be ready to go at once. The van is going to feel neglected!
Third night in a row with trouble sleeping... fell asleep no problem by 10, awake at 11, then at 12:30. Back up at just before 3. Heard the wind ripping and tossed and turned, got out of bed at 4:45.... I did not get a nap yesterday so cannot blame it on that... I just want some sleep....
We did our taxes yesterday using TaxAct. Everything went really good until we went to e-file. It would just sit there saving for 15 minutes. Tried rebooting the computer... same thing. Called them, 1 hour wait time, put in for a call back. Tried on the computer again... no luck. Wifey said to try to file on my IPad . Within 2 minutes DONE! Apparently the old Mac Mini desktop is now really outdated. Got the emails from both the Feds and state that the returns were accepted... WOOHOO! When we pulled last years taxes, we were surprised to see that we filed them also on Feb 5th.... strange coincidence.
Oh, and they called me back just as the file went through... so much for tech support....
Everyone have a great day!
