Prayers for your family.

Send the Beano back and keep your nose in the wind. Save your money! :) Sorry about that Bird. I'm hearing stories like this from all over. Probably going to hear plenty more. Did your wifey know you used the tractor??? :) Hope you find some beer, and soon. Wood shop to the rescue...

At work, our chemistry dept made a few gallons of ethanol cleaner solution. They put it in generic spray bottles and passed it around. Rich, thanks for the racing link. Been watching some older races online. To be honest, I'm glad for the other brands to be in American Flat track. Even...

Who knows, I believe they are having trouble getting their main warehouses stocked.

Nope, College Station HEB at Jones Crossing. They didn't say what, just to expect items to be not available.

Ron, good news on BIL, hope he gets better soon. Did online church this morning. They offered it on FB and Youtube. We started on FB, but after a few glitches, we switched. Our internet has been having some issues, occasionally going out for a few minutes. I hear there is very high demand...

Ron, nice bluebird pic. A Thermos. A novel idea...I'm trying to remember the last time I knew a person that carried their own thermos full of coffee to work. My uncle the union plant worker comes to mind. I remember my chemistry teacher teaching us about the properties of a Thermos, (I won't...

Daughter planted a mango seed and has been nursing it for about a month.

Peach bloom and baby peach with a little spider nest.

My awesome daughter and I worked in the garden for 3-4 hours today. Pulled some old spinach and kale, planted 12 more tomato plants, 6 eggplants (don't know why), 6 cantaloupe, 8 squash. Hilled the potatoes with some sand, put some compost under all the new seedlings. She also thinned the...

chupacabra! Interesting. Oh wow, I'm glad you found her. I'll bet she was getting cold? Can you come do mine? Great job. My problem is I have too many projects....and equipment.

Gas down here is still stuck at $1.75-1.85 ish. My friend says it is the distributors that won't lower the price. Mainly 2 in my hometown, and I'd guess they are in bed with each other right now.

mostly, no coffee because they shut down the coffee at work. Normally have 6 types of coffee available. Limiting congregation of peeps. Ron, gas is cheap. Not premium so much... Only thing it will need is new rear tires. Probably can't find 2021 vette tires here in Giddings. Stop in...

Or, go to Goodsons or Ace Hardware and get most stuff for a bit more. Its BrokeforSure Bros grocery store that thins your wallet. Low traffic. I believe the shaft is too hard, plus it's work hardened.. Sounds like Chico made a step in the right direction. You could drive that new vette...

After seeing your hills from your drone vids, I now fully understand your OMG moment... Why the lines at Home Depot? Maybe it's time to move back to Giddings. :) It was hot this afternoon. 90F and the humidity right behind it....moist as mayonnaise....I decided to change the oil in the...

2 loaves of bread, serving size 2 slices about 100 calories maybe???

You can make a great bananas foster, or cherries flambe.....Ron, that was funny. I get the northern humor, having a good buddy from Wisconsin, and watching the old Mackenzie brothers' beer truck movie. Happy Birthday Sophie!

I see a lot of you did online church today. Same here. Since all are doing it, it gives me a chance to watch some other pastors I've liked in my past....at their new churches. Trying to make some beer bread. Waiting to see if it will rise. Unfortunately for Don, it has 1/4 cup of extra...

My friend was the only guy in typing, and as a freshman, all the "older" women just loved him so much....We could go anywhere in town and there was some gal saying "Hi Vic!" Thanks rs. Just trying to keep a handle on it. Not over reacting, nor under reacting. Just being careful. I hate...

Great write up...thank you. nice pics LS. Nice staples Rick.

Last week, when I went to work, I walked in with my N95 mask on. I take it off, once I'm by myself in my shop. My shop has it's own HVAC system, not totally infallible but a step in the right direction. One young smartypants engineer promptly told me "I don't know why you're wearing that, it...

Found this neat (but old) video of the Colchester Lathe factory in the UK. In this video, they are making the older style series of lathes. But still interesting. I'm not sure what all they still manufacture in the UK as far as machine tools goes. Colchester Lathes Company - YouTube...

I agree. I wish I had one of David's Volcano Ale brews right now. Hope you get feeling better. Drew, you too.

The writer on the article had a bias going on IMO. One chart that showed the rate of new cases doubled every 2-3 days is the most important one. He tried to use the cases per millions....which has no value at this point in preventing the spread. Bogus. There are too many outliers to base...

This one is for trails, off of the asphalt. Oh Happy Day!

Here's the one I like. One could climb some really big hills with this one. E-Ride

Are you worn out? :) I looked up the airport you posted the pic from. Wow! They have a Gollum reaching out over a big room too. Really cool. I wonder how that company makes those things?

Rain, Rain, beautiful rain. Thank you Lord. This is the soaking we have needed for so long. We still had cracks in the ground from last summer. I tilled the garden for weeds last night, just in time. It is a mud/muck fest now. I need to get the rest of it planted, but the remnants of some...

Don, I found this. But not sure if anyone here does it yet. Get Paid to Shop - Become a Shipt Shopper Today!

cool beans. :)

PJ, glad you didn't get sprayed.

^^^^^Good ideas. RichB1 too. So I posted about micromist droplets last week or 2 ago, based on my own experience. Now I have backup. Can you catch coronavirus from surfaces? | Fox News

I can only guess Don. These Germans are tight with their purse strings? Also, they don't like to depend on anyone outside their family. I was mentally trying to figure out what it would cost to shop and deliver groceries, if someone was to try it out. .55 cents a mile, plus $20/ hour. HEB...

Randy, you don't need to be getting sick again. I would take it easy. My job has government rules about how our projects are billed with direct labor. They won't let us work from home if we have any indirect labor. Which is me right now, not real busy at the moment. But a big project on the...

Yes, that was my original destination, but chose Austin because of the better places to eat. Will plan another trip, when the bases open back up to the public. Thanks! I believe Ft. Hood has 2 different displays of armored vehicles. Love REM. Seen them 3 or 4 times live. end of the world...

That Danville tank museum looks like a good one. Thanks all for my son's birthday wishes. Sad to say, the tank museum was a bust, closed to virus. Only essential personnel allowed. It is at Camp Mabry. Their twist is Texas' contributions to the wars. Not sure when they'll open again. RNG...

Hope you get some sleep tonight. It was a nice day today here. 68F - 83F. Got the fascia boards on the house primed, and the front porch pressure washed and cleaned, but not painted. Taking my son and a couple of friends to a Tank museum tomorrow. His real birthday is on Mar 17, but had to...

Texas A&M has suspended in person class attendance for the rest of the semester. A&M cancels in-person classes for the remainder of the semester

J- sounds like a good plan. So, you're the culprit for empty TP shelves.... Maybe do your business off of the Peak, then slide down on your bum???

Read #12 , if you have a pond or birds nearby.

I'll bet it works good. Make sure you cover up well when spraying it. That's some pretty tough stuff. Here is the SDS sheet. https://www.wetandforget.com/downloads/SDS_USA_Wet_Forget_9.9_12282019.pdf Here is the active ingredient: Akyld Dimethylbenzylammonium chloride I believe it to be...

Drew, hope your procedure can get you some answers. J- I believe many here have ideas about what they are going to implement, when the virus gets near. I know I do. Just not sure when to implement, or for how long. I would give it a wide berth if I were you. As many should here. There are...

Oh man, lots happening. New cars, new jobs, old jobs, new tractors, new mowers, new guns, new people, old people.... Guffaw laugh #1 So glad to hear your wifey is doing well. And that she went out and bought you a new cab tractor. How cool is that? Glad to hear from you. Does ohana...

I will keep this in the back of my mind.....thanks! :)

bullets are cheaper, SSS. Glad I don't have any. I'm with L4N. Make boots out of them. RNG, nice video. Is the lake's level, "the new normal" with the dam's problems? I told my friend he had condolences from all over. He is left with his male Golden, who is 14 yo too. He says when the...

If I ever need to get one of y'all to come get me out of jail, it will be because I shot an alligator (and got caught). :)

Posh to me would be, having sheep to count every night to aid in going to sleep. :) Eric, does the train have to blow it's horn much near you? Can you hear it from afar? We have tracks about 2 miles from us and I hear them in the background....unless it is very windy with the wind blowing...

Mostly, I'm sorry I forgot to reply. I/we have the junior high and high school kids. Need more to show up. Hope it catches on.

haha Randy, hope you enjoy the British invasion....just tell 'em to remember the battle of New Orleans if they start feeling their oats! RNG, nice vid, beautiful place, shiny blue van. How long did it take to upload that 2 minute + video? I have this short 12' "bridge" over my "moat"...from...

Thanks Rick. Much fallout and trickledown from this fight.

So much to catch up on. PJ, hope the car drama ends as well as it can. Randy, hope Ellen gets mole removed with little to no pain. Don, do you ever eat that much kale in a day? Our kale must be a short variety. It has not tried to grow very tall. Saw the kinks in concert. My first real...

Oh my PJ. I am sorry to read about this. The only thing I could offer is, since they won't offer you diddly for your Soul, maybe you could trailer it back, and as a background project, you could maybe know someone who could rebuild the engine with an aftermarket kit. Possibly could be a...

Don, we have our first harvest of kale from the organic garden. It has aphids under the leaves. My wife is washing them off in the sink. Are the aphids considered vegan when digested? :) Randy, sorry about your missed mom visit.

Nice job, and great view! Storms coming Tuesday and Wednesday. We need rain. Daughter had to spot water the garden last evening. Going to 75F today. My first day to teach Sunday School is today. Thankfully, my wife (my 51%) is going to be my sidekick. Mostly, I sometimes marvel at your...

I believe you might could put your used masks in a UV-C environment to kill virus. Possibly ozone too, but it's hard on rubber. Drew, sorry about your day. Bef, keep getting better. I'm behind on reading posts. Prayers. Ron, I want to live too.

Oh what a time for the hydraulics to freeze up. Glad I didn't have to repair that... email can be a curse...Glad you're glad. Good job on structure and editing video. what a cutie, glad she's over her surgery. Thinking of you. Hope you get feeling better head cold wise. I just got...

California has a dam by San Jose they have to drain.

Eric, I hope the levee doesn't break. I wonder if Don will come out if I mention the new instant pot air fryer/ pressure cooker? Roy hope you're feeling better soon. Prayers for all.

Oh gosh, cast iron would smell when you cut it, and then it would rust out the coolant.....Don't miss it one bit. I sanded on a pure molybdenum crucible today a little. Did you have any leftover roast and mashed potatoes? That's one of my favorite meals....or roast with rice.

Glad you're better. Yes, Can Don be getting that much seat time? Maybe he hit the lottery. Hope he's alright. Maybe upcoming freeze has him working overtime at gardens? Hope things are alright. Bird, maybe I need one of those mowers with just one battery. That way, I'd get a rest too...

I vote for oven baked stuffed pork chops, cooked spinach, and cherries flambe jubilee on good vanilla ice cream.... :) Same for pine trees and pine needles. Bird, you just need some deer to come eat the acorns.

You didn't take much of a rest.... It was warm here today. I took advantage and took the coolant tank (40-50 gallon) from the cnc lathe outside to pressure wash the scum out of it. Changing over to a different type of coolant that I hope lasts longer. RNG, don't forget, 3 lefts make a right...

Put your foot down. Throttle to kick out the rear tire. Look maw, no brakes! (no front brakes) Have fun! Daytona's just around the corner. :)

61F still here at 10 pm. Hard freeze predicted Weds night Thurs morning here. Got the car hand washed. Now rain predicted tomorrow morning. Church was good today. Big week at church next week. Starting up Sunday school again, after a 2 year lapse. Don't ask. I volunteered to help get it...

It's really not that bad running PVC. Get the kind with one end upset to fit the next. But you pretty much got it done. Hope you are leak free.

RNG, what about this type of stuff...

I never put my foot down on the street when I ride....

Drew, about 12 years ago I made neck and spine implants out of an expensive grade of PEEK plastic. I hope they can do something to help you out. You have my prayers. I like the Red too, but I like the wine colored one with chrome plated wheels. I have the Sony ANC, and I love them. About...

ha ha, he's working that clutch to keep from flipping.

Mostly, do they want to put in some sunken structures? I just watched the new "Midway" movie. Great movie, but I believe some of the scenes are a tad overdone. Some real heroes back then.

Ted, your furniture looks better than store bought. I love it.

RNG, glad you got most of the trenching done. Are you going to put some soft sand in the bottom to lay the pipes in? Congrats! Hope you get all the stuff done by then. Prayers for your family. Jay, you all be careful up there. Hope your wifey starts healing faster. Maybe some warm...

Looking good. you guys up north be careful. Roy, sorry about neighbor. I forgot to say I finished the Undaunted Courage book quite some time ago. Meriwether Lewis had a rather rough end to his life. I would think modern day doctors would ascribe him with multiple maladies mental and...

L4N, you're welcome? mostly, the potatoes should be ok for a few weeks hopefully. There is a close call about 12 days out IIRC. Glad I wasn't on that ferry. Were those cars waiting to get on it??? I'd of poohed my pants from shore. This was "Dennis" storm, few days earlier. PREMIERE...

The horsepower on that model would be debatable. :) My grandmother had one of those, passed it onto my mom....but not all the attachments.

I was thinking you should get most of the prep work done, then have a number of airhead parties with a few helper/friends each weekend for a number of weekends. Some food and brew as motivational tools. I like the 1 cu yard concrete dump trailer idea too. You just have to have someone tow it...

Glad you got the MRI over with. Thanks for the weather underground tip. I looked at last year and see that the Mar 5th freeze is what killed my early planted tomato plants. Coffee is really good this morning. I gave my wifey a big valentines card that said "I love you a Latte". I can't open...

Prayers for your family. Your poor FIL. This is great news. I love reading this type of news. FBOW, me and the daughter planted some red potatoes (dusted in fireplace ashes), and also about 9 storebought white potatoes that had started spudding. So, it got up to about 61F and then the sun...

I saw something that said a California mountain top recorded a gust over 200 mph! J and all up there in that snow, be careful. Ron and Irv, glad your visit went well. PJ, you might should wear kevlar travelling through E. St. Louis.

Funny meme....

Drew, we put a few flower seeds in some seedling trays. One pack of columbine flowers said it was time to just sow them 1/4" deep. Not sure they'll do much down here in the heat. My daughter picked them out. Food looks great! Hope your neck/spine pain gets a bit better daily. Enjoying the...

Randy, car looks good. Hope the new owner has fun with it. I believe ours is 3 tanks in a row, each 500 gallon. Thanks Don. Bed extender looks handy. Soil science is half the battle. I sure hope that job pays well with umbrella drinks! :drink:

I want to say I read where NASA has got multiple designs they've been working on. I'm kind of hoping they have a few tricks up their sleeve in reserve. The world has been a bit crazy in some areas... Watching your progress. You could have a party with that genny and never notice the power...

UB-40 the unemployment band. I think the SR71 was most awesome. Read up on Kelly Johnson skunkworks if you like a good read. Now that was a dangerous job I bet. Nowadays, even the cheer squads get in fights at basketball games. https://www.bnd.com/news/local/article240057408.html My...

That's what I do.

Schweet Genny. U2...wow. I like most of their music, but not much of their politics. :)

I have an apple Ipad here that Apple obsoleted overnight with an update. Thanks Apple...NOT! I don't like to pay much for computing. I buy Dell refurbished or clearance models and save big $$$. One 14 year old Dell is still running, on Vista at that. Don't use it for much other than...

100 lbs of powdered sugar ;)

Ted, enjoyed the video. Liked when you photobombed him when he couldn't load the nailer. He's got the gift of gab and presentation. Maybe should be a news team guy. what is Nawrocki?

Good news, tell him Howdy from me. Hope you get a handle on BP. Neat camper. I believe losing sleep is partly due to aging. Naps ruin my night sleep sometimes. Between BPH, NBW (natural born worrywart), I lose quite a bit of sleep. wng, hope the rain doesn't wreck your plans. be careful...

"Tractor Brethren" :)

Yes, amazing how a relatively small number of heroes started a chain of events that led to us buying the rest of the Continental USA.

Prayers for Drew, Randy and those who are hurting.

Scrambler, I feel your pain. Sometimes good deals at end of December

Well, I had a nice reply typed up, but lost it.... J-suffice it to say, I'm happy to read about these projects too. I'm constantly telling people about my "internet friends and their projects." RNG, glad can got you home safely and thanks for sharing the video. Ron, me no likey 2 story...

Metric taxes....that would be tough. :) Hope you don't find a body. I'll bet your coffee is great! Faulty/crappy rental equipment. Arghh. Hate those backward steps impeding progress. Once rented a 3 point tiller. The top link holes were so elongated, that they allowed to POS to just...

That's a lot of blue water to cover....BTW, welcome aboard. I would probably go with the cheaper inverter, because I'm cheap. :) My buddy has had his Line 6 guitar and processor for a few years. He loves it. Stevie Ray or banjo sound out of his guitar. Has a good time with it at church...

Howdy Team! Prayers for Drew, and those who are still sick or mending. Happy Bday for Topps grand son and Ron's pup. going down to 39F tonight. son made a fire in fireplace. Finally caught a mouse that had eaten the cheese twice out of the old school trap. Caught him with a new school...

Those are going to be really nice Ted.

I wish they could imprison these scoundrels.

Don, one of the data sets shows the risks in some occupations you wouldn't expect. Looks like working in a shell fish occupation is far worse. If I'm understanding correctly, Looks like eating sushi is worse than killing chickens.

I had to go to Houston too today. Got to leave at 1:30 and the rain was horrible going out hwy 290. Ditto! Son is much better. Thanks for the thoughts. I was on the phone for 2 hours, trying to get my insurance information updated with my previous Rx supplier. I say previous, because I...

Your yard sure looks nice. Those coons and you did a fine job of aerating it. :)

We don't know yet, but have a strong feeling that my 9 year old's allergic reaction was to some soy protein cookie bars my wife made. So we are being careful with his diet and soy products. Seems most major foodstuff have something soy in them, many have soy lecithin. We are hoping that he's...

Glad wifey is better! Bird, we got ours done on the computer software, and it says the IRS is not accepting returns until Jan 27th??? I wonder why they won't accept them any day after Jan 1??? J- sorry about your friends son. Prayers. Drew, it's tough to lose a friend. Especially after...

Happy Belated Anniversary! My friend said when a man marries a woman with kids, it's called "Instant Family". :) All kids are better off with a good father. I like looking at maps too. A LOT! I was figuring he should take a radiator hose clamp. Would hate to have a knot that needs a...

Happy Birthday Mrs. Buppies!

Can't see it, but you NEED it. :) We probably all have dealt with this, being tractor people. my 9 year old son woke up with hives from his toes to his neck. Taking him to clinic. Wifey had made some soy protein bars, and he ate quite a few of them. So we are guessing soy allergy...

Yes, Undaunted courage. That's it! Oh my. Be careful what gravel you spread. Gravel drug is Worse for you than mercury most likely.

Ted, the magical gravel spreader. Looks good buddy. Drew, wish I could have joined you for a plate of that. yummy. Bef, sounds like a slight improvement. Hopefully more to come. Bups, sorry you are still sore. Don't even let a skinny woman walk on your back with crampons. (Until you are...

G'morning. Kids are off from school today. Not me. Headed to work in a bit. 35F going to 55F. Rain coming Wednesday they say. Might stop and get some chicken scratch at Tractor supply today. Have a blessed day all. Prayers for our team.

haha Maybe you're royalty after all. BEF, hope they figure something out. Randy, glad Ellen is a little bit better. Supper looked good. Wng, hope your family is better. Prayers. Didn't do much at all today. Went to church, saw some friends off to Wisconsin. Long drive. Surprised the...

Mostly, hopefully you're not too sore this morning. I get flu shot yearly. No side effects. Got fluish about 10 years ago when my SIL (a public school teacher), brought it to our house at Christmas time. Must've been that different strain. Just had some wonderful coffee my wifey made. Puts...

LOL!...

Drew, if you're feeling awful, maybe you should go get checked out.

roll the dice. Where's the scientific research data? :)

Drew, hope and pray the docs can help you figure out what's going on. Randy, looks good. I'm warming up some frozen refried beans we cooked a couple of weeks ago in the IP. Hope they are as good as they were the day we made them.

Prayers for you guyz. My mom is 90 and doing fairly well. She is the only one left in my hometown, 2 hours south. Happy Anniversary Bups. Prayers for your family. Don, UV is a good thing in your AC's air handler. Just be sure to turn it off when you take the cover off. We are getting...

I like the art. With a little tweaking, you could have Alfred. And that's a nice 15" Crescent wrench....with the standard side up. :)

Thanks for sharing drives. Good idea RNG. Drew, living vicariously through you. Safe travels. Sodamo, I can almost smell it from here. J, glad the eye exam went well. Ron, cute dog. Are you teaching her some tricks? PJ, I'm still wishing I had a thimbleful of musical talent. Not getting...

We got a little yesterday, but need more. Wish you could send some this way too. Good to hear on the racing success. 219 is a bunch. Saw where Sammy Halbert jumped ship. L4N, ditto what Rich said about teflon. Use it.

Well, my FIL has caved and decided to help pay for the fencing. Things still apprehensive due to the verbal scarring from the accusations, but they are certainly a turn better. I guess my FIL decided to be the better person in the whole situation. Drew - glad you're feeling better. Randy you...

Left foot braking is dangerous. When I was 16 (new driver), I was driving the company's Dodge Crew Cab 1 ton truck downtown about 30mph. Someone pulled out of their parking lot space in front of me and I inadvertently used left foot braking. This was in 1976, no seat belts. The braking force...

Ditto. :) Nice cap on your truck. The dog's are saying "Stop messing around with pictures, LETS GO!!!" Do you ever take them to the beach? Ok, I misunderstood you. Let's rephrase. IF they build a new fence, can I make them leave mine in place? If you say no, why must I let them on my...

Thanks all for the info and opinions. Don, if I need some materials, I'll let you know. Are you sure I HAVE to let them on my property to build the new fence? After what they've done/told me, the last thing I want to do is give them any money. FIL does not want the liability of cattle. Says...

Thanks for the fence information guys. No, it is not the new neighbors. I need to text the new neighbor and see if they made the same demands on them. I really do wish I had the money to help them. The 2 neighbors wanting me to pay have benefited from OUR barbed wire fence for at least 20...

Glad your were pro-active! yes, it needs the chain modified, and you are correct, that thing didn't have much power. It is supposedly and "eco" model. It was kind of quiet too. Sad... RNG, glad you got the permit straightened out. Hope the Subaru parts work out. I very little faith in...

Warmer here, 49F this morning. Cloudy and chance of rain most of week. Drew, waiting to hear from you.....Prayers Bupps, you too. I always did enjoy playing that "Whack a Mole" game. Similar to the real world of life. Neighbor came over yesterday to saw up some fallen widow maker branches...

Bupps, Prayers your way. Falling is not fun, especially when you slip on steps and have zero control. Drew, prayers for your BP, thyroid meds and overall situation. Phil, glad the gout is residing. Randy, ditto on football. Glad to see Pats, Ravens, out. I'm torn on the KC/Texans game. I...

Oh man are they good. I made my rice on the sticky side (I like it that way). I used cayenne too. Maybe only 1 teaspoon, plus the black pepper. Who's rooting for who on these playoff games? Or is that a dangerous question....

Good deal, thanks Don. Our 8 quart, when set on high saute, burned my onions in a blink (with olive oil). Wifey says high is too high unless you're right on top of it.....She said she saute's on Low or medium. I had no idea these things could "pour the coals to it" with the heater they have.

I started with completely dry beans. Cooked for 50 minutes, let it sit for 10 minutes while off. They needed more cooking. Put on high for another 30 minutes, then let it set for another 20 minutes while off. They are done now, but not too mushy.

very slowly with some water, but it takes more water, because it steams off. Basically, you are steaming the onions tender.

Red Beans and Rice Pressure Cooker Recipe - Instant Pot I'm using my favorite pork and beef sausage, so I'm not following exactly. Many recommend smoked ham hocks IIRC. Oh, and I omitted the bell pepper. Can't do bell peppers unless I want to pay the fiddler later.

Let us know how the book turns out.

That's "cool" mostly. 4" +1/2" snow on top We got maybe .4" of rain. We still have cracks in the ground left from last summer. :( There were a few big wind gusts. I did put the chickens in their coop last night before storm....This morning it was cloudy, but now back to clear blue sky...

They are saying baseball size hail in Blanco county....

Funny guy, that Thomas. :) Ron, cutie. I wish I could sleep that good... Drew, good news...I guess. Hope they get you patched up with the correct dosages. Solar installation construction ahead. I'm watching. hawkeye, glad you can spend time with grandaughter. STORMS tonight. Austin...

I'm a big Who fan. Will have to look/listen into it. Only 2 Who left (original).

Prayers for you Drew. Hope they figure out what's up, and can help you. Try to relax, read or something to help avoid the anxiety. It only makes it worse. Wng, you can borrow one of our chainsaws. :) I have a spare smaller set of Oxyacetylene bottles, cart, regulators, and a cutting torch...

I see it is -41F right now in Fairbanks AK.... A wee bit too nippy for me. Rick, they are predicting big storms late Friday night east of Austin, but probably north of you . Randy, that step looks handy. J- is prepared for snow and ice better than Brogen. I've never worn crampons. When my...

Rich, good luck to the young racer's season. I have to admit, when I went to the Texas Speedway round 2 years ago, I was amazed at how quickly the track got rough. I didn't particularly care for the venue because they use the stock car 1/2 mile dirt track, which has banked corners (part I...

I need to read up on fireplace ashes. Seems I remember that they are not great for composting piles.... Check your small engines for mice nests. I've seen a lot of them burned up from nests clogging the airflow. It's hard to sometimes peer behind the fan shroud/cover. Isn't is amazing how...

As you probably know, be sure to torque the new windshield screws a little at a time to let it position itself properly. Don, you may have to pull out the pin (that is getting greased) to see the culprit. A grease gun puts out tremendous pressure, I would suspect a faulty zerk or something...

RNG, It looks like your windshield had a hardware failure. Looking at that semi barreling past you while you took a picture....oh my....glad you made it home safely. Thanks for sharing pics. My last hotel stay was a bad one too. They had double booked our room. At 1am, I heard some people...

Wow, lots to catch up on....not enough time to comment to all. You have my prayers. Sophie, Randy, BEF, Ron, and all who have the crappy stomach bug/virus or colds. Happy Belated Birthday Roy. J- be careful until the ice melts. We made refried beans in the IP. Turned out awesome. Today...

Happy Birthday Mrs. Senter (sp?) Hope you have a good one. Oh man, I'm drooling. Have never rode one of those. Do they have piston cracking troubles like the 360's? Do you already have a wiseco piston or something similar? I have spent days on an Ossa Super Pioneer 250 up in the...

Sounds good Drew, keep us posted. I'll keep an eye out for Indians. :) Randy, while I like Perry Mason, I like I dream of Jeannie better. :)

those look great. Hope you get them all taken care of before the New Years... :) I take Terazosin (smallest dose 5mg), given to me for BPH. It is an alpha blocker too, but it covers a wider array. Flomax is more targeted to just BPH. I tried to wean off of it and switch to Flomax and my...

So, 420 is the L&LL limit? No, we need BEF up to speed, just short of amphetamines. Ron, frame is black. Tank and fenders are silver. Here is a pristine one....Ours is going back with out lights, turn signals, etc. Stripped down for spills.... Wng, glad you handled the poacher with no...

Thanks for the pics RNG. I'm a sidelines propeller head too. Got my son's frame glass bead blasted and primed today. After I paint it Black, I can start putting it back together. Need to paint the fenders too.

Hope Ed is better. Wng, you sound like you are working harder, now that you have a cold. Hope it gets better. BEF, Are you back up to speed?

Looks like you're all set to get some good bird pics. Wifey made me chocolate coffee....yummy. Very foggy outside. RNG, looks like you had a good time at the zoo. I would love to see it. My mom, sister, and cousin are headed there on Super Bowl weekend. Sheesh, I've wasted more time the...

The little scopes let so little light through, I prefer the open sights. And forget about BB's. They vector off in a curve according to the last side of the barrel they touch. Like an old Brown Bess. Still fun to shoot plastic communist army men setup in a dirt mound. :) Yesterday's tiller...

I love chicken cordon bleu

CWB, glad to hear you all are good. It's smelling like a Tex-Mex restaurant here. Charro beans are slow cooking, enchiladas are ready for oven, fresh Pico de Gallo made, waiting for 7 layer dip... 7 Layer Dip Recipe | McCormick FIL requested Peach cobbler with Bluebell vanilla ice cream.

Merry Christmas to all of you and your families. Happy birthday to Mrs BEF. Hope you are feeling better. My kid had a 24 hour bug last week. Don, Brenham had police working traffic on Bus. 36 HEB lot exit. Worked on a 20+ YO Hoover carpet cleaner yesterday. Not sure if I fixed it or not...

Nice....wait til you get to your block to partake. Yes Mostly, congrats on 6K. Dave, I'll bet your still tired/achy from all those bags of 'crete. Good job. We are planning to have enchiladas on Christmas. I've had enough ham in the last month. Instant pot pinto beans cooked charo style...

Happy belated birthday Mrs PJ! I could use some side work....if there were another 4 hours in a day. ;) Glad J and wifey are safely back. BEF, sorry bout your dad selling off his last calf. Glad you are feeling better. I hear Randy has a special place in his heart for calves these days...

Got home tonight and saw a skunk in bottom portion of front yard....Got Remington 1100, 2 shells, fired up old Gator, drove all over and finally found it. Kablooey. I wonder if it was rabid. It was walking erratically. 25F here this morning. Drew, you might want to extend your stay in...

What ever happens in California, should stay in California... Some are corrupt in the head after consuming the stuff. Not saying it can't make you forget about your ailments.....

Mostly- I did some honey doos. A/C filter replacements and vacuum the evaporative coil with the brush attachment....does a so so job... I did manage to remove and recaulk the shower in our master bath. She's happy about that. But my attempt to fix the leak on the other bathroom's tub did not...

Awesome news brother. Take it easy. Did the doc's use any clover compound to lap your new valve in? :)

Prayers for Randy and family....and his medical staff... Heaping them on. Randy, I'm guessing this will take a bit to get over, as with any surgery. Prayers for a successful surgery and speedy recovery, and for you to get your strength/stamina back. Bird, that chair looks comfy enough to...

Congrats Ron and Family Happy A, J-! Yes, big fan here. My buddy watches AXS, but I don't have cable, so he's telling me about it. He brought his Ovation Balladeer 12 string to work yesterday so we could play it at lunch. If only I had a thimbleful of musical talent. They say learning...

Beautiful.

Prayers for Randy and family. Thank you all for the thoughts for my daughter. She is better.

G' morning! My beautiful wifey made me yummy southern pecan decaf, with a scoop of swiss miss chocolate. 42F here. Been up an hour to do some homework. Thomas, now that I think about it, my camcorder is 20 years old. Most of the newer cameras have video mode. I like the shape of the smaller...

Handsome guy, from a Great Era in our country. Imagine guys lining up to serve... No it didn't, can't blame him either. :laughing: Wonder if that sinking in the mud after 6' was instant karma? Your body's batteries, or the house's? :) You stay busy with construction/home energy projects...

I can appreciate that. LOL, Thomas teasing us time card punchers. ;) Ron, your place always looks nice. Randy's "backgrass" looks great after slashing. Rick, where ya been? J- pack some warm air to take home. Don, phone finding by night. Needle in a haystack....apple in the brush...

I need to put up some lights, but have not had time. The front is coming and the weather shall turn bad for a day or 2. Keep those wifeys happy. Shalom in the home. Happy wifey, happy lifey.

Glad your wife is feeling much better. Hope she continues to get better. I'm wondering why the new part failed? Crummy workmanship/design/materials? Did it get overheated? Happy to hear of your progress. Hope the job comes back smooth. I meant to ask about your go kart? Fast? or just a...

I can only imagine the headaches. 3 things that are bad liars little kids drunks yoga pants I found myself leaning into the curves. Yes, the old caddies had that option. Have a blessed day all.

And all this time I thought progressive meant being a 60+ year old lady shopping braless... Thanks RNG. After running the 1st part, I went to find the end user for a first article, but they hadn't come to work yet (9:30am). So I ran them because this person is notorious for coming in around...

Drew, your truck does not need the coolant changed to fix the symptoms you've told us about. Don't let them give you the run around. Don't shell out unnecessarily. Sorry about your friend. Frankly speaking, I'm late to the party as usual..... Sorry about your grandma Ramman. What is...

Sorry about your friend. I hate cancer. prayers for the family. Still busy at work. Which is a good thing. Coffee tastes good on this clammy, dank, fogged in like pea soup morning. Prayers for our team.

If anyone wants to leave a new mid engined vette in my driveway, that would be fine with me as long as they leave the key. :) BEF, I see on questionnaires when I get my flu shot, that ask if I've had GBS. Have they warned you of taking immunizations?

very precise. Thanks for the chuckle. Like you, I can live with some dings and scratches on older vehicles (daily drivers). But a new vehicle, I would get repaired. Mea culpa, I've been eyeballing some of the new makes with those deep wine colored finishes. Mazda has a nice color. But...

you guys are up early. 38F here, going to 72F, postcard picture day with low winds and humidity. Wish I could stay home. But really busy at work. Drew, Hope they figure out your truck and don't give you the runaround.... You guys have me wanting to buy an old truck like Randy and Ellen...

Topps, my first time up in the morning, I do my version of the "slow roll"...I sit upright on the edge of the bed with my feet on the floor, then since my knees are not so great, I push with my hands on top of my knees to help reduce the pressure on them...All this after I spend a few seconds...

Drew, nice pics. My mom has some Christmas cactus too, not fully bloomed yet, but the blooms on hers seem to be more reddish while yours look a bit more purplish. Ron, don't know exactly what to say about your Christmas tree decorations. You have my prayers. Surround yourself with family and...

Sounds like you have a great career. Wng noticed it, but he also has a Super Cub project just past the Bronco picture. He is trading his '59 Tri Pacer for restoration work on the Super Cub. I've flown in all 3. I like the Super Cub the best. My buddy's dad left him these. He also had a...

Had a good laugh at that one J. Y'all stay warm. 85F high here today. We had to turn on the A/C to dry out the moisture in the house. BEF, you made me laugh too...Glad you're able to drive more. Welcome Ramman. When I first saw your handle, I thought of raman noodles.....had to do a double...

Come on down. Bring Coco to swim, we have a great pond, but no mountains to hike on. Hope Coco's head wound heals fast. Sorry about your oven and guests' feelings. There are some dog breeds I have very little sympathy for. Eric- can't bury it just yet. Too many memories. It's been with me...

A gal I dated had an 18 yo cat. The cat was having problems and was pretty much blind. We took if to a specialist Vet who had a color ultrasonic scanner. The Vet gave us lasix and some other pills and said the cat had about a 90 days to live. I could have set my watch to her prediction. The...

Glad to hear Sophie's procedure went well except for the IV... I told my wife that some of you are without power. We are all electric. If it happens here, we would have to head out for Chinese food.

L4N, sorry about your pet. Glad all have seemed to have had good Thanksgivings so far. Mouldy/moldy rye bread can be hallucinogenic according to some researcher stateside....hopefully the water will get you through to Christmas. :) I was watching a video on Vox amplifiers' history, and...

Smoked Apple Pie, in Mexico it would be called pie de manzana al carbon! Hope all is well and if you need me to bring my ozone odor relief service up there, it would be quite the travel fee... Has anyone shot enough to just be able to shoot "from the hip" accurately like the real fast...

We had some too and threw it out. Romaine from Salinas, packaged in a ziplock type bag. Wife says she had eaten some of it about a week ago... Got to work on the boy's DT80 yamaha mini bike. I've torn down everything from the frame to give it a new paint job. Will take it to work and glass...

Ha ha, me too...Somewhere, I have an old apple crate with vinyl in it. Mostly old metal music. There should be a copy of Spartacus Triumvirat in it. Another favorite LP from back then was Nektar - Remember the future... Stay out of that stormy weather. Being sick sux. Hope y'all get...

We've had warm weather. Trying to hold out, and not turn on the A/C... Sorry about the chicken PJ. Great horned owls will kill 'em. I hear ours every now and then at night. who who who....I did find out that our chickens will voluntarily go into their coop if it's cold and windy enough...

Mostly, 6:35 in the seat is a long ride on a motorcycle, having to peddle is twice as hard. Hope you had a tall, cold one for your efforts.

J and all up north in the weather, stay warm! Expected to hit 68F today and maybe 80F tomorrow here. The fireants are coming out to join the party. BEF- sorry your HS team lost. Our team is playing a team loaded with talent this week, so it will be an uphill miracle if they win. Happy...

Drew, good job on the sweet potato story. Glad everyone was orderly. Thank you all for the prayers. RNG, sounds like you're getting the van nearly completed. Maybe you can follow Drew back to NC and then make your way back to CA on your own route? I listened to our high school football...

I had quite the guffaw laugh over that one Eric. Wng, I'd recommend you park that log splitter on a hill, so that you and coco can push start it next time... Beautiful truck. Your story had me thinking of the commercial with the appliance demon coming into the woman's home. David, I like...
