Good morning!!!!

Good morning,

22° now mostly cloudy through mid morning, then gradual clearing, with a high near 35. North wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Pretty out with the coating of snow from yesterday. Got about an inch, just enough for many crashes before the sanders did there thing, how soon people forget about winter driving and how slick it can get when it starts to snow.

No real plans for today, sand walkways the sun should clear the driveway. Maybe a grocery trip later.

Enjoy your day everyone

just enough for many crashes

slip sliding away....

friction is very important, particularly when there is none


nice meeting with neighbor, handyman/carpenter who does little jobs. Getting him to build wall shelving in kitchen for more storage and perhaps
to exhibit some pottery. If I had heat in my garage, I'd do it myself.

not much planned today. Think I might bake some apples to warm up the kitchen on a cold morning.

Good Morning.
35 and going into the low 40’s today under mostly cloudy skies, but it will be dry.
Yesterday was a lazy day, did a small weld repair job and puttered in the shop, but don’t recall accomplishing a lot.

I’m thinking that for today, I should start thinking about putting the snow blade on the tractor, and moving things around in the shop so it’s parked inside at the door ready to go. Other than that, it will just be what ever pops up, but whenever I start moving things around in the shop, I usually find some rat hole to go down.

Does this picture reveal my age? I still use the circular one regularly.

Not really. Slide rules were used in to the 80’s.
You never have to worry about batteries going bad.

The edge tamers are kinda like having gauge wheels/ skids on a snow blower or rear blade. They maintain the same spacing irregardless of the terrain.

Thanks for the clarification, Ted.

I hope they work out as intended...

Morning all, 34 skyrocketing to 41 and sun is peeking out through clouds.

I have my HP 11c still and had a hp 28-c graphing calc. as well as a few others.
The 11-c I used to map out airport radar "areas" for multipath (ground aimed radar).
I use it to do my check book balancing now. Think it's on it's third set of batteries in 40 years.

PJS - new job! have fun, always goes by fast with so much new stuff.

Still a bit out if it, slow recovery.

Good Morning!!!! 37F @ 6:30AM.
Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High 52F. Winds light and variable.
Picked up another half inch yesterday, most in the morning, then another spritz in the evening. The only rain in the 10-day is a week from Wednesday, but we're already well above normal for this time of year.

I remember a class in high school where they tried to teach me how to use a slide rule, but I never caught on to where to put the decimal point. Ended up starting college with a birthday present Rockwell four function calculator, which rarely got used, even in my engineering cirriculum. It had green LEDs, and it cost a hundred bux back when gas was thirty five cents a gallon. That's $1800 worth of Diesel these days, and I didn't need a calculator to figure that out! I think I still have it around here somewhere, but I haven't seen it in years. I have a tiny solar powered calculator out in the shop, but it doesn't do RPN and I try not to use it. Then there's the calculator app on the phone and laptop, which I've set to RPN, and I'll use that for any serious figgerin'. Thanks to the internet, it'll even do currency conversions using up-to-the-minute valuations.

Here's the Project Farm take on tape measures, Billy. If you don't wanna watch the whole thing, you can scrub through it while it's paused and stop when each of the test result charts display.

Got the oils changed in the touring bike yesterday, engine, transmission, drive shaft, and final drive. Made the usual big mess. Adjusted the valves, too, and found both exhaust valves tight. That's unusual, and I'll need to check them sooner next time.

Took the security gateway out of the network, as it was impossible to watch video or upload even smaller images with it in place. Glad I didn't pay full price for it, but maybe that's the reason it was so inexpensive. I haven't logged a trouble ticket with Ubiquiti yet, but that's the next step.

Checking the Toyota website, there don't seem to be any all wheel drive Prius cars in the whole state of California. I didn't know they were available with that option, and with my "driveway", I think it's a good idea. But I think I remember some DMV BS about not being able to register an out of state purchased car in California until it has XXX number of miles on it. If it's not one thing, it's another...

Hope everyone's week gets off to a good start!

Good morning from the eastern shore of Virginia.
It was 43 and partly cloudy when I got up this morning, heading for a balmy 44.
Today's mission- get the leaves off the lawn and out of the gutters before the rains and freezing temps arrive later in the week.

Consumer Reports in the recent magazine had an article about car reliability. It is pretty much a clean sweep for Japanese brands with a few exceptions

Thanks, RNG...good evaluation by Project Farm...some comparo items I hadn't thought about. Now that I've been to his site 3 times, I think it's impressed on my memory for next need.
