Good Morning!!!! 60F @ 4:37AM. Sunny. High 83F. Winds light and variable.
Welcome to November. Doesn't seem like November looking out the window at the weather, though. Not that I'm complaining, as it's as close to perfect as it's likely to get.
All that rain has paid off in an incredibly green pasture for those sheep, Eric. Hope your improvised sluice makes it through 'till next summer when you'll get another shot at building a real one.
Lots of bare branches showing in today's photo, Ron. Another reason they call it "Fall".
The sun is still hot enough to want to stay out of it here, too, David. But by sunset, it's low enough it feels nice to sit out in it. Sorry the framing is taking longer than planned, but things have a way of setting their own pace sometimes. BTW, what's "T111"?
I still get mailings from the Ohio realtor that sold my mom's place three years ago, Drew. Almost as bad as J.C. Whitney catalogs, which never seem to stop coming. Makes sense to take it slow for a while in deciding next steps, at your own pace for a change. I'll add to Kyle's warning about Ozone. Bought a demo 4Runner years ago that someone had smoked in. Really stunk it up. Dealer said they used an ozone machine in it to get rid of the smell, and was reluctant to use it again because it would damage the upholstery. Nasty stuff.
Sounds like a nice sit in the tree stand, Bill. Any of those nuthatches try to land on you?
Lots of rust and cob webs, Kyle. Some would call it "patina", but it looks more like work to me...
Gonna try to make a pet outa that squirrel, RS?
Be nice to see the other side of the lounger, Ted...:laughing:
Sir Connery was the best 007, and he was great as Indy's dad, too...
A few weeks ago I mounted two battery chargers to the wall above a set of shelves, than parked a pair of batteries below them and hooked them up. Yesterday I found I'd also left the 6V battery from the Trail 90 on that shelf, but no charger. The outfit I'd ordered three chargers from finally got around to sending the last one, so it went on the wall with the other two, and I made up a charging lead for the Honda's battery. It has two wire leads as terminals, so I soldered an alligator clip to the ground lead of the charger, and crimped a bullet connector to the other. All nice and neat, and no more worries about flat batteries.
The rest of the day was spent wrestling with throttle cables on the white bike. Turns out that the upgraded carbs are about 3/8" (9mm) taller than the originals, and that meant trimming an equal amount off the cable housings. Delicate work to cut the close fitting housing without nicking the wire cable inside. And taking only enough off to get the travel needed. Had to do that to four cables in all, and like David's knee wall, it took a lot longer than I'd have guessed. Was also hoping to finish the plug for the cam hole yesterday, but wasn't able to get to that at all. So that's on today's agenda, as is shooting a test panel for the sample of pearl white paint the shop mixed for me some months ago. Time to find out how close it matches.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their weekend!
