Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

50 going to 66, cloudy.

RNG, hope you enjoyed the strawberry festival. Sounds nice.

Two bit, sounds like you know a lot about civics and government. Nice that you stepped in to speak.

I got a $2 check today for a class action lawsuit against Costco. I think it’s valid.

We went back roads after leaving sons work, took him up thru the old part of Ellicott City. Roy used to live there.
Did stop at Mission BBQ for an early supper. Had the brisket.
Mowed front yard. Then started looking at trailer wiring on smaller trailer. Only green right blinker rang out as ok. Seems the brown tail light wire is on what should be left blinker, and I couldn’t ring out the yellow. Makes no sense, they worked last year. Don’t remember swapping those wires on the 7 to 5 connector, but maybe I did. I recall only connecting for the brakes on the large trailer, rest should be the same.
I did get gnd thru the frame.
I ended up moving trailer to front of barn to work on it tomorrow.

Has it recovered from the flood? Did they install any floodwalls? There is a small town in western Virginia that I believe has been totally relocated up the hill to move it from the frequent foods.

Ellicott city looks pretty much recovered. One construction underway downtown where maybe they had to totally rebuild.

Good Morning
41° under partly cloudy skies, high of 60 with little chance of rain today.

Yesterday was back to making space in the shop for alpaca wares. So far I’ve been successful at manufacturing space by organizing and consolidating existing space. Yesterday I found a power plane that I have no idea where it came from. It’s a Ryobi, I’m sure that I never bought it. It was on a shelf, in its case where it has likely been for over a decade. My oldest son now has a new plane.

Like all organization projects, things always look worse before they improve. I think I’m at the peak of looking worse now.

Daughter’s surgery went well, she is all settled in here, I had to move the bed around and add grab a grab rail in the bathroom for her, both instructions were received while she was one her way here from the surgery. They are talking about a 12 week recovery, we will see how that goes.

Today, a fellow member of the RC club is coming over, and we are going to spend time on Fusion to share what we have learned and hopefully learn from one another. He bought a laser cutter to cut out balsa parts for models, and uses Fusion for design, I think he is a couple of months ahead of me in the learning process.

Wife is at a Farmers market, so I’m the primary caregiver for the daughter. Fortunately, she is pretty self sufficient, I pretty much just have to make her food and let her dogs out.

This afternoon is the grandson’s outdoor birthday party with his friends from school that was postponed due to bad weather. Something about 40 mph winds and bounce houses not mixing well.

Someone else took a few pictures of the alpacas yesterday, so far none of the actual shearing, but I’ll ask some more.

Mostly, how do you fix a bicycle warped rotor?

Sodamo, glad you're coming back to life.

Ellicott looks good.

Buppies, NO 90's until you pay me the big snow you owe.

Driver's License...clearly too easy to obtain...based on the way I see young folks drive (and adults, too, maybe me included?). Don, ditto on how things were when I got my license...we even had "simulator" machines in Drivers' Ed...much like later arcade games for driving race cars...early early baby version of Popg's flight simulator.

My wife and I had a nice wildflower hike yesterday morning...found a pretty rare one. Then breakfast at Cracker Barrel...new menu since we were last there, and the food was great. Pretty good crowd and still had great service.

Ran a battery's worth of string trimming in the afternoon...more to do.

Can we put it on my tab wngsprd. I got fooled by the hype

 

[txdon]

I got fooled by the hype

Yep they got me yesterday also. The phone notification went off several times warning of tornadoes and hail, we got nothing not even a good shower.

great alpaca pics Popgadget
That's a lot of socks!
or perhaps a four legged sweater?

not a good morning
had run in with unpleasant owner at local nursery, which my favorite helper there apologized repeatedly for, but he was repeated yelling his instructions about why they would not open until an hour late, and I said I heard you the first time, and left.
no more money to him, needs to work on his people skills
I've never seen the man smile, he clearly doesn't handle stress well.

then I went downtown and both notary places were closed.
so after driving around not accomplishing much and getting ticked off, I came home
I'm pretty sure the day will improve.

My oldest son now has a new plane.

Wow!
Giving your son a plane!
Will he need a different type of pilots license?

/edit
When I was 17 and going to buy my very first car I wanted a Saab.
My Dad gave me a sob.

Like walking to school up hill both ways as I was told by my father numerous times

As far as driving, every day I see crazy driving. yesterday a guy in left lane crossed 2 lanes and passed car in front of me in right lane, using an entrance ramp, then proceeded to go back left 2 lanes in front of a red truck, then brake checked the truck, before speeding off. Apparently more than 10 MPH over the speed limit wasn't fast enough, and the red truck was passing the car in front of me. Have had multiple cars on the 2 lane road to my house come across the middle line, where I bailed out onto the shoulder. Since my son's wreck, there has been 3 other bad accidents within a mile of the little town below me. One yesterday on my way to get my son.

We still like cracker Barrel. They have a good skillet breakfast, that has eggs, potatoes, cheese, etc all piled together.
