Good Tractor Morning,

A sure fire way to avoid a hangover....Stay drunk!

Bill, my body can’t do that anymore

Need to hunt some four inch long square head or torx
screws at hardware store.

Drew, do s search for Spax screws, I’m using them on the sculptured walnut rockers I’m supposed to be building They are extremely strong and forgiving and shouldn’t strip out on you

60 warm and breezy heading to 65.

Ken, your lights look nice. I was surprised how many houses had Christmas lights already on my drive home last night. Plus, the Caterpillar dealer has decorated a huge tree with lights along the interstate.

Scotty, one guy several miles from us decorated his ham radio tower with lights to make it look like a peppermint stick.

Billy, if I put up a tower on the Ct property, Kathleen will file for divorce
But, she hasn’t ruled out putting up a tower on the Vermont property. I just salivate at the thought of a 50 or 60ft tower where we are located in Vermont, 1200 ft above sea level

Good morning tbn folks! A balmy and breezy 36 this morning with a brisk wind blowing out of the NW, blowing enough the lake boats are hugging the north shore. We stayed home for the weekend, as opposed to going to camp. Still trying to chop up the yard leaves with the ego mower but little rains keep passing through here. Worked on the trailer flooring yesterday, got the mutts out for 3+ mile hike plus many other fall house jobs done.. Will get dearests Bronco snow wheels put on Monday AND get a oil change. She does like that suv. Nothing exciting to report from here.

Good morning, 51 going to 61 with wind advisory

walked Cody, made coffee, no reason to fire up this morning

Checked some more on the post vise. There is clearance to lower the vise in the yoke but with a slight taper the yoke will need to be opened up and that will require it to be heated up in the coal fired forge and worked on the anvil. It need to go down about an inch for the leg of the vise to sit on the floor.

I think I will skip that and just shim up the leg on the floor with metal plates and level the vise and hammer in the wedge and call it a day

Good Morning
54°, sunny and windy. Rained overnight, but only .04”.
Temperature will be in a decline all day, lower 40’s by dinner time.

Yesterday started out cleaning up in the shop, then morphed into building the blower mount for the Lazer.

It bolts on in place of the anti-scalp wheels in the front of the deck, and the chain drops in the keyhole to hold it in place. The platform isn’t welded in place yet, it will have to move forward for clearance for the castors. But I think it will work well after I sort out some details.

Not sure if I’ll get back to that today, going to the oddfellows lodge for a work party to deal with some needed maintenance, then I’ve got to get to the hangar and the little plane.
And that assumes that nothing else will pop up.

this Wednesday morning I expect to be picked up at rv campground by stepbrother and taken back to Aldie VA, not far North of there,
to have coffee and a muffin with him before my brother comes and picks me up.
Stepbrother has lived on Oak Hill Farm in Aldie more than 20 years as a caretaker and trusted friend
place just got sold for 20M to conservation group, I think will make a park out of it. He is not sure how much longer he can stay there but
seems to be no rush. I'll find out I'm sure.

Scott would love to see stepbrother's garage, five Model As including a gorgeous wood panel truck. He has had model A club meetings on this
beautiful farm, quite the setting. Will be selling them as he is aging out, reality of many old car owners

on this day a few years back I saw one of the most amazing displays of mother nature
as two mocking birds courted on my front driveway. If you zoom in, you can see them on top of each of the facing bushes.
They checked each out for a while, and then landed in the driveway and danced.
and danced
and danced for more than 20 minutes, hopping up and down at times, mostly spinning and hopping.
like they were doing their version of bird disco
hope it turned out fine for them
