Good morning!!!!

[rswyan]

Tried out the moisture meter on one of the 4 x 4 posts on the edge of the stack, it read 18% … which doesn’t seem totally out of the realm of possibility.

Got all the pipe cut for the sawhorses:

2 crossbars

8 legs

4 braces for between each pair of legs

Next up will be notching the legs where they will attach to the crossbar which should be able to be done on the drill press with a hole saw.

Got some clean up done while the saw was cutting as well.

Drinking warm cup of coffee. 58° with partly cloudy skies this morning. Heading to 72° with slight chance of rain. Got Sassy groomed. Looks like a cute little dog again. Instead of a fluffy dust mop. Rain all day. More like a drizzle to keep things wet. Did some shop work instead. Neighbor needed a draw bar extension for their golf cart. Still need to mount it. May get that done today. May get back field grass cut if rain holds off long enough.
Bath time.

Everyone stay safe and well.

Good Morning All.

Good morning, the low is 61 and gong to a high of 75°F. Wind ESE 8 mph. 30 % chance of showers.

I have a small soldering project for today as long as the heavy rain holds off. IF it only rains lightly, then I will kick the Dodge out of its' shelter and use that one for the job.

I used to shoot groundhogs in a farmers' field (with his permission) using .22 LR.

My 61 Morris Oxford had all leather seats. Buckets in front and bench in back. 4 on the floor and 4 doors. Neighbour down the road had a Austin Healy motor with twin SU carbs. We dropped that in the Morris after I blew the Morris motor up. I did learn that I didn't like hydraulic clutches, they cannot take the abuse that dry clutches can take.

Have a safe day all

Drew what are you going to tow behind the Lexus?

on Friday I'm pulling my one ton trailer with a 1500 pound garden tractor on it.
that should be easy.
from the feel of it, don't think there's enough torque in this very mild V8 to pull a lot more.
should be a good test run for the new to me car. This is a base model, not a lot of electronics and unfortunately
no adaptive cruise. That was a bummer for me, I thought it was standard.
This truck is based on a 15 year old design and is pretty ancient internally, which apparently is what makes it so reliable.
Even the car care channels said the electronics hold up over time, and there are no known major problems. But if I thought the Expedition
had a dated infotainment, this looks like it's from the Jetzons. But all the switches are sturdy, metal, really feels well made. Since I don't use my phone in the car for anything, old school works just fine for me. Although this does have voice control which I won't use.

after all the nonsense I went through on the Ford, looking forward to less drama. The wonderful thing about local Lexus dealer is they provide free loaner cars. When you live alone, that's huge.
I thought my Expedition was pretty sharp looking for such a big suv. The Lexus is the opposite, will blend in and not be seen. That's ok by me.

chuckled when I looked through maintenance, found there are some zerks left in the suspension, now that's old school.
remember when it was always an oil change and lube?

good morning all
1.16 rain in the gauge and going to rain all day. Lake Drew is filling up.
power flickered on and off last night, enough to reset stove clock.

I'm off this morning to Lexus dealer to get hitch installed on my new to me car, going to do some food shopping
on a rainy day and work on the rv.

Morning all!
50 going to 70's with sun and clouds. 3 days of rain in the forecast.
Working on father in laws car today. One of the guards on the rear wheel rusted off.

Had a drippy faucet down in the shop. Since my hands wouldn't turn them easily I decided to replace the whole thing with a single handle pivoting type. Works great!
Ran over to the apartment house and installed the bagger system onto the mower.
Neck issues came back out of the blue! Will try to take it easy as I can.
Went for our walk in the morning and the pollen in the air was killer.
Almost forgot...got the front lawn (if you can call it that) cut for the first time of the season. Back yard is still water logged and mushy. Need a long dry spell to firm it up.
Nephew has his last concert as a high schooler on Thursday night.
First time working with olive wood. Made another box.

Not sure what else. I feel another coffee calling!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!
