Good morning!!!!

/ Good morning!!!! #207,982  
Good (Thursday) morning. Overnight Low of 1.1C and it's presently 12.4C, high overcast with a wee breeze.

A lovely day was had yesterday... especially with "Hollywood Parking" at the PO and the grocery store! Later in the early evening I decided to open a new Facebook account. That was successful BUT I could only send one 'friend request' to my Aunt.

This morning, Facebook made me answer a puzzle and do a camera/face test = my new account is suspended until 'they' determine that I'm "not a robot". <FFS>

There's nothing really on for today. I'll be attending 'drinks', in town this evening... should be home by 1930.

That's about it, take care all.

Coffee is brewing. 66° with rain this morning. Heading to 72° with off and on rain all day. 2.4” rain yesterday. Took MMM off tractor to make it easier to get a hose that needs replacing. Resting my foot did not workout. To many things needing to be done.
Today I get to celebrate another completion of trip around the sun. As my Son says, I am one year away from celebrating being 21 four times. Neighbors are taking me out for breakfast. Then will see what else shows up today.
Yellow is my favorite color for flowers.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.

I wonder if they (facebook) will accept a horses face? Or just moon them.

70 going to 92. Just so bright outside already at 5:40am.

Happy Birthday Ron! Enjoy!

Scotty, glad you are feeling better.

Went to the mountains to work on my Shenandoah 500. Hiked a couple of shorter trails and enjoyed chatting with some other hikers...one guy's trail name is Popeye, and his forearms tell the whole story of how he got that name. Beat the rain home...it really dumped on us, and then a rainbow.

Good Afternoon,
When you associate with good hearted people good things will come your way 🙏

Phil, thank you so much for doing this job ! The antennae and tractor was a brilliant idea.

Please tell me what I owe you besides the shipping cost please ! 🙏 Again thank you 🙏
No charge my friend! Was a fun little project.
Happy Birthday Ron!
Neck and hand issues have pretty much kept me quiet for the last couple days.
Doctor visit the other day went well. Labs show improvement on all that were tested. Still need to redo bone density test. Waiting on insurance to authorize!!
Hot and humid in the forecast so nothing planned for the future. Might play in the shop if body will let me.
Did get a practice piece done over the last few days. Was just a chunk off of the wood pile. Not sure what I will do with it.

Might turn it into a dish or just throw out.
Time for a second cup!
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy!

Good Morning Guys,
Ct,66 to start going to 88 with enough humidity that you could cut it with a knife. 😉

Noticed 2 juvenile groundhogs out back when I got back to the house.
RS, I have used my 22/250 in the past but recently they were close enough that I took them out with my 20 ga Remington 1100 with 7 1/2 shot, some old skeet loads.
Today I get to celebrate another completion of trip around the sun. As my Son says, I am one year away from celebrating being 21 four times.
Ron, Happy Birthday 🎊🎈🎉 to you and hope you get many more trips around the sun 🙏

Got the Zero turn out yesterday after going to HD for more Trex to replace the porch deck in Vermont.
Today I have a dentist appointment to fix a cracked filling and then driving out to Wallingford to meet another radio club member and the plan is to use his transceiver to activate that park under my call sign for my first park activation. Then home in the afternoon later to watch 2 of the grandkids.

Billy, I was always impressed with guys that had Popeye forearms. 😉
Definitely want those guys as your friend !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day 🙏

Good Morning
76° and humid, might make 90 with chance of airmass thunderstorms late in the day.

You can tell it’s humid out there!

Fairly productive day yesterday, got the tire mounted on the Progressive mower. It’s the one making ground contact.

Picked up the material (1/2” hot rolled steel bar) and cut out the parts for my friend. They go on a machine to remove railroad ties.

I am still amazed at the quality of the cuts on the plasma table.

After following Kyle’s advice and cleaning the scroll and jaws on the 3 jaw lathe chuck, the runout is less than .001, which is quite acceptable.

I got the Lazer out and mowed around the house and the runway, but I think it’s still too wet to mow with the tractor for the big areas.

Not sure what I’ll do today, been thinking about making a winch mount that hooks on a ladder to lift HVAC components onto a roof for my mechanical contractor buddy.
It would use a HF ATV winch powered by a Milwaukee M18 battery. Hasn’t progressed out of my head and into AutoCad yet, but it is coming together.

Happy Birthday Ron!
