Finally got caught up on the reading... sure do enjoy the reading Crash... wished you were closer, always more fun working on other people's projects vs. my own! Would love to help you on your projects... but that might be the whiskey talking...

In my case it would have to be the beer talking. Gave up hard booze many years ago. :thumbsup:

Another day of the good & the bad.
Started off sort of good, & then got even better, before things started to really go to he!!.
Have an outdoor plug near the deck. Tested it a while back & it didn't work. Maybe its a GFI, nope. unscrew it, long long screws, get it out at last,. Well lets test the sucker. Plugged in light & it lit up. Then remembered the last light had died.
OH well time to move along.
Back to tractor, The starter needs another wire in order to crank. Found 1 that looked unplugged. Plugged it in Yep it will crank now. Small problem, batt is too low to crank it. Have a lot of dead chargers.
OK Lets work on flat tire. Truck a bear to jack up, wanted tractor to help. Have a jack that still works. & a wimpy (4 ton) jack as well. Wimpy up an inch, other guy only good for about 3 inches. Switch back & forth until tire will turn. First use Cig lighter to put air in spare, its working after about 3 years behind the seat. Pretty soon it shuts off. it is doing that when tire is full. Put it on flat tiren nothing, move things around nothing. Its dead after barely filling 1 tire. Drag larger compressor about 200 feet to truck, it runs. Test air wrench it runs, a little rusty but working. Lets loosen the lugs then proceed. No power, compressor can't keep up with leaks & may be dieing. Get enough air in tire to look for leak. O Crap its a cut in the side of tire.
Enough tractor & truck for 1 day. Time for beer. Almost out. Friend calls he in town, Please bring me a 30 pack. Few hours later he shows up. Beer if warm, but beer. he has 1 & leaves, I drink last cold 1.
Time to eat. Hash & eggs, pretty good and a little left over for the mutts. A little sleep & now wide awake.


There is a near white turk. Its called chalk, get it wet & its light blue. Kingman has lots of it & the force epoxy into it and its pretty nice. Very durable.

Don't like to talk about myself too much, unless its an old story or something fun & happy. Or plum silly.

Wednesday make sure temp Debit card still works & get tire replaced. Have road hazard, new tire $15 for road hazard on new tire. About 35 miles, Hope crummy spare makes it that far. Then to Harbor, added batt charger to list.

White people are "Gringos". Your Spanish lesson for the day. Silly facts. Tomailies in NM have an olive pressed in them. Tortillias are Thicker than in AZ. More silly facts later.

Morenci is also where the world's largest copper mine is. Spent a little time there doing a software implementation for Phelps.

Michael Phelps? I knew that guy was a machine, but I always thought that in the figurative sense.

Can you post a link to the Morenci? I would like to see it. I'm a white turquoise girl, myself.

What surgery are they talking about for you? back surgery? I've had L4/5 fusion and some other work, glad to have the pain gone, but wish I gained my full use of left leg back... I apparently will have toe drop (nerves did not recover from being impacted). Basically all my balance comes from my right leg. It is not unusual to fall when I forget this (especially when bending down to pick something up).. just remember to tuck and roll as they say... I've been walking on uneven ground (yard and field) to strengthen things, it is a challenge and wears me out pretty quick. I have been on the total gym and recumbent bike the last few weeks. It is helping I think (need to loose some weight, so even if it doesn't help my strength, it helps with the weight loss)..

The MRI should show really well where things are a problem. I also had a conductive nerve test to isolate what was happening.

Yes I am grateful & thank the lord every day for what I have.

When my fried I went to town stopped at a Mexican's taco truck. Best 1's I ever ate. Sure would like to know what spices he uses. Bought a coup of meat to make my own with some corn tortillas & onions. Maybe tomorrow. Cooked some rib's in new miniature crock post. Added onions, garlic salt & regular salt. A little better but still not quite right. Well done is not even the right word. Hard to get out because everything is falling apart, even the bones are soft. Made two meals out of them & pot is still almost full.

Is he testing me?? Sure wish he would quit if that is it.
It seems like almost any thing to make my life miserable. & It starts earlier every day. Runny nose, sneezing, need to pee & can't don't need to &* do. Itches where there is no reason to itch. On & on.

Yesterday was a good day, did not make any mistakes or hurt myself. Didn't accomplish much but what I did was pretty good..
Same today, when my nose & back would let me. Accomplished less, but it was something.
so many dumb things that irritate me, but little by little they are going away. 1 more board & major air leak is gone. When it gets sealed the little heater will rum me off the deck.

Life is good got plenty of beer, food & many other things.

Trip to harbor fright & spent way too much$$$$ & didn't get things I should have & got things that could have waited. Got Paint gun, nail gun, small belt sander, ( damm its heavy & awkward to use. ) Air pressure regulator, 2 moving quilts, ( for deck door & 1 or my bed.) & a few other small things. One over the deck door sure makes a difference little heater warms deck pretty fast.

Put the other 1 on my bed sure is nice. have been sleeping better even if only an hour or 2 at a time. Tinitas is behaving, left ear almost quiet Right ear calmed down as well, but never goes away.

Bought some plain peanut butter, it is sweeter than other stuff with honey in it. Don't understand, peanuts are not sweet. Checked label 2 more times. says peanuts in bold print. ???

More later, so out & see if I can make a mistake or 2. :laughing::laughing:
Beer is cold, life is good,
Jim
