Good morning!!!!

[Eric Salop]

Good morning, we have had some very wet weather these last few days and it is hammering down again today.

Fortunately the clouds eased up yesterday afternoon, giving us chance to take a welly walk through a couple of fields with daughter and family. The soon to be 3 year old again amused himself by arranging stones on top of some wooden posts that I once placed on a "temporary" basis to block an outflow on a drainage pipe. When we got back inside his dad found this picture of his elder brother doing exactly the same thing 8 years ago. With Covid cases rising and control measures increasingly tightened, it may be quite a long while before we see them again.

Phil, hope you are not reading "Good morning" instead of working hard on your last day in the office.

Great family pics BEF ! Who stole the rails ?

The best bearings I ever saw were when I was an apprentice at an electric motor manufacturer. Ancient motors with phosphor bronze bushings would run happily for many decades with not a sign of wear. They said we only got them in for bearing repair some years after a maintenance engineer died or retired and no one else thought to oil them.

54 this AM, heading to lower 60's. Had a shower move through.

Good luck with the estimates, Buppies.

We are still looking for an electrician. Two stopped by within the last month. Neither delivered their promised estimates after both said they could do the job. Neither return phone calls or texts. One was just spotted at the neighbors who recommended him.

More real work and an Xray on tap later today. Sigh....My rotator cuff is stopping me from reaching out. LOL. Well it's not really funny, but it sure reads that way.

Hope all have a pleasant start to the work week. Be safe, be careful in whatever you accomplish today.

47 right now...high in the mid-60's

My back is a bit achy from yesterday's work....

Now there is a good excuse to 'conserve energy' today.:thumbsup:

39°F and headed for 52. Wind calm. A mix of sun and cloud.


Have a safe day all

Good morning all.
55 out now going up to 75 on a nice Fall day, mostly sunshine.
No rain until weekend and I'll be gone by then...and thankfully forecast on Saturday is dry where I'm going.

Riptides, it seems like the basics of business aren't given much attention or value today; i.e. returning phone calls within one day, showing up when you say you will, etc.
The guy who was supposed to do my moving promised me a quote, then said he had some kind of emergency, then said he was interested, blamed not getting a quote on his secretary when I doubt he has one, and never did get me a quote. This was a Uship guy I had used before and will never again. Versus a local company who responded immediately and could not have been more professional and nice. Of course then my friends said they would move me, so best I could do is give the local movers a nice Google review, and they responded with great appreciation for that.
If folks don't call back within 24 hours, I go someplace else. Sorry for your frustration.

cooking some veggie link sausage this morning with eggs. Consistency is a little soft but taste is good and zero grams saturated fat. I'll get plenty of that from the eggs...

Eric, very nice picture of grandson. Nice memories.

Hope the start of the week is good for everyone.

Poured first cup of coffee. 39° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 58° with partly cloudy skies. Conserve energy day went very good. Headed over to friends place to help him get his ski boat out of the water this morning. That should fill the day.
Going to be interesting in Michigan for the next few days. MI. Supreme Court told our Governor that all the Executive Orders she has issued since late April are illegal. Along with the laws she was using are unconstitutional. :confused3:
I wasn't the only one conserving energy yesterday.

Eric, good GS picture.

Riptides, good luck with arm.

Buppies, I must have done to many naps yesterday . Did not sleep well either.

Mostly, yellow is Hickory, red is Maple.

LS, have your son stop by my place on way East. My trailer needs bearings packed.

Buckeye, sorry GBS is keeping from enjoying the best time of year for camping.

Phil, last day of work. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup::thumbsup:

David, hope your parts for tractor show up soon.

Everyone one be healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.

52 going to 70.

Been out for a Coco walk (and looking for skunks - the times on my trail cams are so inconsistent that I expect to see it in the yard anytime)...nice stars/planets.

Riptides, hope the rotator problem eases up for you. I've been please with our HVAC service, so learned that the same company does plumbing and electrical...when I needed a plumbing emergency fixed, couldn't get the previous plumber to call back, so gave them a shot and they came that same day with great work. I'll definitely go to them for electrical if I need it...James River Air Conditioning...but doubt they go as far north as you.

Buppies, sounds like a great drive on the Parkway. We'll be back up that way later this week. Hope you get the jobs you bid.

Eric, I still enjoy playing with rocks, but not sure I have that wonderful look on my face.

My wife cut my hair again yesterday...I told her best haircut I ever had...and meant it. You ever have a surge protector just die while you're watching TV? No surge, etc. I guess the "joules" just wear out. Hard to find one without at least some scary reviews. But I did order a new one, should be here today...drilled a new hole in the built-in shelf and rewired some stuff and did a deep clean in preparation.

mpham.
"Tomorrow will be my last day into the office. I will drop off my phone and laptop and sign out from all my files etc. My guys have decided to take me out for breakfast as a last goodbye. (I can pretty much only eat eggs,rice or chicken right now with my throat/stomach issues)"
-----------------------

Now your at the end of the tunnel and bright light also warm,enjoy the slow roll to work and reflect over the years...tomorrow you'll start new chapter in life...might take some months before it really sinks in that your truly retire.

Eric...picture worth 1000 words. :thumbsup:
