Very rough sketch of pond rake to be attached to FEL bucket. This is the bucket mount.

Kind of leisurely work day. Got the CNC lathe setup to run the 2nd op of some tensile test coupons. Turn a .504" dia neck on 3/4" dia matl. They get pulled on a high end unit, that graphs the metal's curve. Watched the radar as more rains hit the Guadalupe river watershed. Still sad. So...

Don't usually ride at night, but it had been a while so I took a short jaunt 15 miles maybe. Back country roads doing about 35mph. Saw in this order: feral cat twin fawns bunny bull frog bunny armadillo (these can launch you at speed). 1 dude walking in the dark back to his compound.

I guess even Tranes have gone sky high. 3 years ago you could get an inverter heat pump trane installed for much less than $10 K. Hope your shoulder problem subsides. I have dull shoulder pain and can hear things poppin just working out with 8lb bar bells in each hand. My shoulders were...

Oil change and transmission flush complete. $40 for engine oil and filter Mobil 1 5w-40 euro grade $77 for full synthetic Valvoline Dexron VI DIY $117, cheeeep. :) While the car calls for 0w-20 oil, I don't like running that light of horse Pee down here, especially in the summer. especially...

Quick jaunt to Wallyworld to buy oil for auto maintenance. Headed out to the barn 8:30 pm. Gonna do an oil change and complete transmission flush with synthetic.

Ouch 30K ? Happy Bday Happy! Ron, hope you git yer giddy up figured out. Love the photos! Billy, that coffee sounds good, I wish I could drink coffee with caffeine. Glad Della doing well. I've been telling anyone who'd listen for years that our military Generals better get off their duffs...

Happy birthday Mostly. busy at work. came home after picking up groceries, and pulled PTO shaft off of the bush hog I bought at auction. Need to try and get it freed up, doesn't telescope. BTDT. Have a blessed day y'all!

Sounds like Northern Exposure....."You're suffering from the throes of existentialism." The Russian river flooded and killed one or more IIRC back in 2019. We had another deadly flash flood event on the Blanco river a handful of years ago. My mom was griping about the gov't response and I...

The lake near TxDon has come up 25', and caused a lot of bad flooding and damage to RV parks and anything in the basin.

Really sad about the flood victims. Prayers for the families. Count is sadly up to 59 last I heard. Hitting hard because I just had my family out there a couple of weeks ago. And I remember talking with some people that, to fill up Canyon lake (at all time low), it would have to rain really...

CrashDaughter, I welcome all your replies. I would do similar if I were in your shoes.

Ron, here is an ad from the big Houston stealership. FWIW. One is hybrid other is not.

Table almost looks like a mirrored Texas outline. Neat story. Southbound and down...breaker 1-9. Sorry. My wifey is counting my calories and limiting my goodies. She bought me some low fat sugar free stuff. Probably made with seaweed... I feel your pain....but I have lost some pounds. More...

Gilligan's Island the worst.... But I did like I dream of Jeanie. :)
