This is what the roofing job looks like at end of yesterday. Most of my last 2 days was spent going up and down the yellow ladder. My neighbor did most of the on roof work. Will get 2 pieces of trim and ridge cap on today.
Good morning!!!!

good morning all
wow Ron what a cool moon pic, thanks for getting up
too cloudy here, though once in a while the moon would come through brightly
60 degrees today, should be nice
Hotpoint washing machine broke on me yesterday, kept overfilling (what a change from typical
modern washer that washes with what seems to be too little water).
found washer full of water to overflowing. Ran spin cycle and tried again. Overflowed and stopped again.
I'm guessing some kind of water depth sensor or control. They said they could not come out til Tuesday but would order
that part just to make sure it was on truck. (local place in Stockton NJ sold the unit).
good news is I can wait that long to do wash, and no cost to me. Bad news is several of you guys could fix this in probably half
an hour and I regret not having the smarts or ability to do it.
because of super acidic water here for 60+ years, anything that touches water in this house is suspect. Now the water is filtered, and ok, but
the damage has been done to copper plumbing. Though I think I'm just dealing with an old washer here, bottom of line white rental unit, always an issue
if worth fixing. I have had constructive talks with my landlord about why they need to have data on each rental house they have, showing ages of appliances, when oil burner last cleaned etc. They were receptive to ideas but ?
I think today I will hook the rv up to outside water and see what leaks. Maybe the leak fairy came this winter
and took all leaks home...hopefully just means tightening clamps. I did a little waxing yesterday, trying to get good curb appeal
out of this older girl.
that roof looks awesome Ron, nice job. Hope your legs are ok. You will sure never be doing that roof again
I really like the color

41 going to 58. Yesterday had an unusual easterly cool wind all day. Felt like the beach in winter.
Rip, that's a huge tree. White oak or yellow poplar or something else?
Scotty, nice porches.
Leeches. I had never seen one until a couple of years ago when I finished swimming in the river and had the bugger attached to my calf. What a surprise. I just yanked it off.
Ron, that roof is a piece of art. You guys know what you are doing.
Did my own taxes for a change yesterday instead of others'. Wish I hadn't. Ouch on how much we owe...need to up the withholding. I still have one more tax return to do, for my wife's mom who passed away last year.
Then went back to work on clearing brush out of an old lespedeza food plot...had one discovery, an apple tree I had planted many years ago. Dragged dozens of small trees to make a new wildlife brush pile and then dug holes for planting the elderberries. Need to clear off one more area and dig holes for planting Scotch pines. Then do all planting at once. I've definitely stirred up some old sleeping muscles.
When I changed our cell phone plan last week to reduce cost and got the "free" Samsung S25 phones, the new ones were delivered the next business day by UPS. Fast. But I haven't had time to set them up. I need to transfer all the old data, contacts, calendar, photos and apps from the old S22 phones. There is an app from Samsung called Smart Switch. Anyone used it and have any feedback?

good morning, 38 going 61 nice full moon
Printer that was lost and reordered showed up yesterday and took the old HP out and connected the new Brother one and made it work. Went easier that I had expected with my limited IT skills and it even works from the iPhone too
Financial advisor phone call today and who knows what else I can find

Good morning, the low is 27 and going to a high of 52°F. No wind. Sunny! I can handle that.
Scraping today and maybe move some piles of snow. I have a swale and a 24" culvert running under my driveway. With all the snow I have piled on the high side of the culvert, it will probably flood. So I gotta move that snow to the low side. I will integrate that into the scraping. It is nothing new. Just a little bit more that what I did last year. All the movement with my rear chains will help to break up the ice.
Ron, your tin roof looks good! It will definitely outlast you.
Have a safe day all

37 outside right now, heading to upper 50's.
Today I will take it easy. Lots of changes going on at customer sites. I still have a few POC's left, but they are under the added burden of taking more responsibilities. Our contracts will not cover those, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. Last person standing on the deck, please rearrange the chairs.
wngsprd, the tree is a Silver Maple. Worst tree to plant around a building, ever. We estimate these trees to be in the 70 to 100 year old range. There 5 of them left around the front of the house. The one that is coming down, died last spring as it was budding. We have taken out 5 by the houses over the past 10 years, all require professionals. They are just too big for me.
Tomorrow looks to be fun, a company meeting at a local hot spot. Looking forward to it, for sure. Free food. LOL.
Hope all have a great day and a better start to the weekend. Be safe.

It works. No problems, better than hunting for something different.
Happy in NC

Good morning TBN!!
40 this morning with another nice day ahead. Mid 70s with sun.
Put some of the finishing touches on torch cart. Still need to figure out the safety chains. Also I need to finalize the lifting hook design
Plan on starting on the tank. Need to spread some plastic with sand on top so I can roll it to a couple of openings and let it drain what sludge it can. Probably won't start cutting on it until Monday. Supposed to get some serious storms early Sunday morning.
Also I have a lot to clean up with the remnants of multi projects still spread out all over.
But for now I will get a second cup and see what surprises today holds.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!
