Good Morning,
Came out of the bathroom and we went from sunny to quite a snow squall !

42 outside right now, heading to mid 50's.

Glad the week is over. Pretty tough on the real jobs. Looks like next week will be continuing the work loads. Schedule booked out already. More city time.

Got my errands done. Took the better part of the afternoon. Scored on beer and lamb chops. Yum.

May get to more trees today. Why not. Weather may take another cold snap movement in a few days. Getting the trees out of the woods without greenery is a lot easier on everything, so might as well do it.

Hope all have a good Friday, a good start to the weekend, and a great weekend when it comes. Be safe.

thanks
only had that happen once to me. Right at beginning of covid, rvs were sold out and dealer came back
to me and upped his offer on my MB based rv by four thousand. Almost put me back to original discounted cost new.
So I was happy to sell.
I have a very common motorhome, lots of them out there
I would like to get some equity out of it versus just padding the dealer's pockets.

Good Morning
38° with a clear sky and forecast high of 50.

Last two days were spent on the lathe project. I should have known that I was optimistic when I wondered if it would take a whole day……
Just getting cleaned up and moving it was a project in its self.
I ended up using the crown lift and some blocking.

Once it was pulled out of the wall and the splash shield removed, I set up a table behind it to work from.

Using a dial indicator on the carriage, I was able to get the scale to within .001” in all axis. That was tighter tolerance than required, but I had a hard time getting the reader to work properly, until I realized that I misunderstood the directions and had it upside down. Im sure that I could have gotten away with much looser tolerances if I had done it right in the first place.

At the end of the day, it was back in place, and everything works as it should.

Another example of how easy it is to make things hard. But it’s done, and I’m off to the next project.

Today I have to do a little woodshedding for tomorrow’s gig, I haven’t given it a thought all week, as I was busy with other “stuff”. Also want to keep feeding the 3D printer projects to run while I’m otherwise occupied. I’ve got drawings about a dozen projects ready to go.

my pics of the day continued on the orchard theme
it was such fun planting in that sandy soil
you couldn't buy a rock and no roots.
I eyeballed those rows and got them pretty straight
Kubota was a joy to use
fun trip down memory lane for me
planting my own orchard had always been a dream

Good morning, the low is 3 and going to a high of 12°F. Wind NNE 2 mph. Snow! About 8" or so.

I WILL be plowing tomorrow.

Just to spite me yesterday suppertime, my 4 year old tomcat was mooching as usual and I told him he wouldn't like my bar-b-que ribs. I gave him a little taster and be dammed if he didn't eat it and want more. The 12 year old tomcat tried a little taste, sneezed and left the kitchen.

I don't think I will be doing much of anything today. Tomorrow, IF I remember I will take a video of the biggest snow pile I have.

Have a safe day all

There has been a lot of development around me as well. Fortunately for me, I’m surrounded on 3 sides by hundreds of acres of preserved farmland, the fourth side is the road. But with in 5 minutes, I can be stuck in traffic looking at 4 story luxury apartment buildings being built.

The only real upside to the urbanization is that I can leave my oasis and be in a grocery store in 5 minutes or so with only one stop sign to impede my progress. Lots of choices of restaurants, a Wawa, a large new hardware store (that unfortunately doesn’t have number drills, but has a great selection of Yeti tumblers).
