Good morning!!!!

Good morning! 52˚F with an East wind and cloudless sky.
The tractor trailer rides had a few hiccups at the adventure farm yesterday. The trailer wheel on the Kubota had a to be changes out and the New Holland tractor had a locked up wheel and was put out of service. But the service/breakdowns only inconvenienced riders for a while and we were back up with a farm pickup pulling the New Holland's trailer.
A hay bale pic for hey dude.

Good Morning
36°, clear sky and a high in the low 70’s for today.

Yesterday I took all my 20lb propane tanks to get filled, I pumped just under 30 gallons into 7 tanks. That should last me a year or so. Kept the sprinklers going, and moved them around throughout the day, and lo and behold, there is grass popping up. Youngest son came up and was working on the basement. He has removed all the carpeting and is installing a Pergo type flooring. I taught him how to cope baseboard inside corners, amongst other things. Now that I have a fireplace I figured I’d need to be able to split wood, there was room in the equipment shed, and TSC was having a sale.

Wife said the farmers market was really crowded, possibly a pickpocket on the prowl, she had several people that couldn’t find their wallets. But she had record sales.

We went down to oldest son’s and sat around the fire pit and had a nice hangout with them, grandson kept us amused as well. Afterwards, just like in Sun City, we drove the golf cart home.
Never did get the little plane out, maybe today. But first I want to connect the AV receivers and test out the built in speakers in the old folks home. Not a lot else planned, but I have a huge amount of clean up and organization to do. To say that I’m challenged for a usable horizontal surface would be an understatement.

Good morning, the low temp is 51 and going to a high of 66°F. Wind SSW 8 mph. 40% chance of showers. Mostly cloudy.

There is nothing on the books for today. I didn't put the new hooks on the chain yesterday and not likely I will do them today either.

When I was teaching, I told all of my trainees the same thing. IF you WANT to learn this I am more than willing to teach you. You MUST do as I say when I say it. Otherwise you are just wasting my time and I WILL NOT bother to teach you. It worked, everybody I taught went on to become good truck drivers. One stipulation was that they had to be comfortable with the size of the vehicle, first.
Taught one guy that had failed the test 4 times, but the examiner wouldn't tell him why. I knew why in the first 3 minutes of him driving. He rode the clutch. I told him that if I caught him riding my (it was my truck I was teaching him on) clutch that I would punch him in the side of his head. He never rode the clutch again and he passed his test on the next try. He also couldn't downshift. I taught him how to do that, too. 10, 13 and 18 speed transmissions are easy. 5X4, 5X3 and 6X4 trannies are harder but none of them are rocket science.

Buppies, I have found in the past that if I deny doing something I have been accused of, if I go out and justify the accusation I feel a lot better about it.

Back down the rabbit hole.

Have a safe day all

Thomas 3:30AM more yard work today grass mowed leaf blowing till ran out of gas go get wife at neighbors house where she had run off too while I mowed grass one mile away.

Work on more leaf blowing today not sure what else.

Prayers for all silent out spoken our Country Appalachia Florida others in need.

The story I told about college the roommate became head of state air pollution control board tried to harass me when I worked in steel fabrication. Three inspections in a row normally once every two years. The last time he came I asked why and he lied so asked who his boss was. When it was him told this inspector if he ever came back I would whip his bosses butt. Worked too never saw him again. So I guess I sort f did what you said L4N.

Good Morning

quite a surprise when I tried to leave campground this morning, the gate was locked with a chain and padlock. Apparently not to open until 8:30am. I understand for incoming but this is unheard of for outgoing. so I pulled out the laptop to kill time

Bummer Drew but more reading is good

Morning all, 49 going up to 77 and sunny, dry.

Got some of the Halloween decorations up and did some watering.
Then took the dog for a walk.

Used my crappy Kobalt drill set to place stakes since the ground is do dry.
Like all the rest of the bits in this set, broke for no reason.

Wow Mostly, sorry to hear about the bolt, not something spares would have helped.

Drew - good trip when home issues resolve during time away! Happy mounds now.

Paul/Popgadget - you will love having the splitter, that one looks pretty handy. Mine cut the splitting time from weeks to days to get my cord + firepit wood split. Have plenty of Ash wood rounds if you want some to practice on.

I worked on high voltage power supplies when I was in college for one of my summer jobs. Did mostly trouble shoot, fix, test. 1KV to 100KV or so. Low current.
On Fridays we would all go out to lunch, even after one beer/drink all of us would only work the lower voltage supplies, would still here a crack and someone cursing every so often.

Be well,

Why I won't buy anything Kobalt labeled, and use this drill set for garbage jobs only

One of the areas along the shared drive. Solar lights and battery for some of the devices.
Still have more areas to work on, we also have signs and trees decorated already along the whole drive up.

good morning, 38 this morning going to 72 and nice clear sunny day

Son called wife from jail. She was glad to hear from him but worried about his prospects after release. His delusions are still live and well.

Today is time to turn the screws on the jack posts half a turn. Found a piece of pipe to use as an extension to get more leverage
