Good morning!!!!

[buckeyefarmer]

I like GRK, the ones I get come with a bit in the box.

received my latest solid state portable drive yesterday, and am backing up pictures to yet another drive. Will take 2-3 hrs probably.

ight rain right now.

 

[sodamo]

67°F and 2.72 inches rain. Definitely been wet and soggy. Much needed, but forecast is we might get a break later today.

Of course the weather gives excuse for my back. Maybe someday I’ll get it checked out but have lived with it so long the only time I even think about it is when it acts up and I pop ibuprofen for a few days.

So another energy conservation day ahead

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great tractor day

No. All Torx drivers are the same geometry, but there are many other "star" drive types.


"Torx" is a standard, with 6 teeth. But there are many other standards, some pretty common, which look a lot like torx but aren't.


Yes, six teeth is standard for Torx, as well as a few of the other common variants. But I also have several with 5 teeth, and others (e.g. Timberlok) with higher tooth counts. Here's a TimberLok driver bit with 8 teeth, which is very common in framing:

That one's new to me, as well! But it makes perfect sense, I like it!

Years ago I bought a bit assortment similar to this that had every style bit you can imagine even security bits, hollow Torx different #splines, everything.
I still use it occasionally and there were two businesses close to mine (cabinet maker and landscaper) who would borrow it. I never had to fight with an odd fastener again.

good morning, 58 going to 60 wind up to 13 MPH

Keeping the fire on low to take the chill out

Stacking of wood continue with good progress on the second row. Using 4x4 x 10 feet posts for bookends.

Still doing laundry and domestic chores

today will look some more on aligning the post vise. Not sure if the yoke can move up higher without getting it glowing hot to get it to conform

m7040 looks like a lot of cords of wood there.
Our football team made a huge comeback to win at the end. We did everything wrong in the first half. Scored 28 unanswered points in the 2nd half.
I had to check my BP. 131/81 !!!

Good (Sunday) morning. Overnight Low of 5.3C and it's presently 13.1C [heading to 18C], partly cloudy and calm this A.M. There was 1.5mm in the gauge @ 0600.

As per usual, I'm off to Church in a few minutes and then the rest of the day is His.

That's about it, take care all.

Morning Thomas

Evening Buppies.
Last mowing means time to look for the snow shovels.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

Got pilot oil changed, and air in the low tire. The fronts looked low but were ok, but back right was low and didn’t appear to be low. Must have been how it was sitting.
Draining rest of water collected in the IBC tote before cold weather.
Dead bird was floating in it, got it out.
Gathered SD cards, still got a buck out back.
Decided to grill burgers, looked away and flames got away, but not too well done.
Wife had already ate at something she was at.
Tiger laying on my lap, he has rarely done that , usually he lays on footrest between my legs.
